I know you’ve heard a lot about this. GOT is like a buzz word these days what with the show being so good as to be appreciated by those who read the books, and those who didn’t. I started the series almost a year ago. Book 1 went by in a flash, and I’ve been […]
A storm is brewing. So are the Bruins on this night of game 6 between the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Black Hawks. The stormy conditions and the temperature of the emotions outside TD Garden are virtually identical molecule-to-molecule; the energy is high, as are the tensions. The Bruins are down one and will lose […]
I stepped outside; into a crowd of people. Everyone was looking in the same direction. I peeped. It’s a Double rainbow. It had a psychedelic effect on all who saw it. Cars slowed down, people stood in the middle of the street snapping pictures; trying to ingrain this magic into their brain… …or their phone. […]
res-ur-rec-tion 1. the act of rising from the dead. 2. the rising of Christ after His death and burial. I heard that Jesus was the first Zombie. The Son of God: ground zero of the Zombie apocalypse? Religion as Science Fiction? Or just Fiction? Side note: World War Z should be renamed “Piles of Zombies.” […]
Disclaimer: Wrote this a couple of weeks ago and was at the time a little miffed at my parents. But let it be known that I have the most amazing parents in the whole bloody universe, and I would do anything to make them happy. I love you Ma! I love you Tha! Parents these days… […]
After a long week of miserable grayness, and squeaky soggy wet shoes, Friday evening warmed up and Saturday morning began with bright sunshine and a true summer hum in Eastern Mass. Nam caught a bus up from New York Friday night, and I picked her up from South Station at 130am. When we got home, […]
Drip. Drip. Drip. What in gods name is dripping from the ceiling?? Malli slowly reaches up- CRASH! BANG! DONG-PATAS-DONG! Shit and piss from our upstairs neighbours trickles into our bathroom. I look at Malli spraying industrial-strength disinfectant and all i can see is the drip drip of my hard earned salary; down the shit pipes. […]
Recently I’ve been noticed for my laugh. It’s loud, and care free. It’s got a life of its own sometimes, and gets away from me. It’s wild and unprecedented; Its even inappropriate when it comes out when i’m nervous. My laugh finds so many things amusing, and finding joy even in the littlest things, bursts […]
We humans are very good at sweating the details, and yet,as morbid as this might sound, we all die in the end. Everyone’s end is just the same, all stories end the same way. No matter where in life you come from, rich, poor, good, bad, beautiful, ugly: Everyone dies. Yet if we’re lucky, when […]
I peel off this skin. Puke away the bile. A sweat of memories drips down my face. Drops that linger on my eyelashes. But not for long. Pieces of my life, fragments of a broken life wash down the drain. That’s enough. The time has come. Step forward. New life.Wholeness. Rebirth. I Rise. Filed under: […]
“Meh, I heard from Dharini, who heard from her sister’s son’s girlfriend. Apparently, Shamini was hanky-panky-fying with Anjalika’s fiance. Anjalika found out, and the women had a roaring bloody fight right in the middle of Cinnamon Grand. One of them ended up in the fountain and the other one was escorted out by hotel security!!!” […]
Even as she reaches her hand out she knows he is gone. She watches him sink into the dark abyss; a cold sick feeling grows in the pit of her stomach. Why didn’t she offer to take turns? Why didn’t she make room for them both? Survivors Guilt: the true story of Jack and Rose. Filed under: "Sri […]
We are damned- to be born in a world where Love is second to tradition and superstition. Today i’m a little more cynical. Today i’m a little more jaded. A little piece of my heart turned to stone today. Today i watched helplessly as two hearts were broken. In one fell swoop, the wisdom keepers, […]
Sonia glittered as she whirled the little black girl around the room to the infectious rhythm of the Afro Cuban drum. Her name, “Gold”, matched her fiery personality. Her eyes danced; aligned with the girl’s fast swaying body. Her excitement was contagious- this little dollop of sun, a mother of two. She lit up the […]
Wind swooshed through the branches of the dancing oak, as the white light of the twilight faded. i knelt before the stone; the oncoming storm spoke through the voice of my ancestors. I heard them. “Though the storm rages loud and strong, it will calm, quiet; the damage restored, the broken healed. Life never ends.” […]
On May 1st, I took a trip to Cuba under the people to people license through the Grand Circle Foundation. I’m honored to have been mistaken, over and over again, for a “Naturales Cubana” because the people are the most open, most curious, most friendly i’ve ever met in my life. If for no other […]
I spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the woods of the Breakheart reservation. It was a perfect day really. I woke up to complete and total silence. Namali slept like a rock beside me, not even her breath moved the air in the room. It was cold and I remembered that I woke up earlier [...]
As we go on living our lives, going through each day into the next, something happens that stops you in your tracks, spins you around and pushes you off the ledge and you’re falling, falling, falling into despair, sadness, hopelessness, and defeat. It’s dark down there, when you think your whole world has ended. There [...]
Disclaimer: this is a raw unedited pouring of my emotions. May not be my best work. But it comes from the heart. I am scared. Something has forever been changed. I want to run in the 2014 Boston Marathon. I had decided yesterday to start training for next year. I won’t give up the idea, [...]
