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 […]
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 [...]
Originally posted on TIME:Research has found about 9 zillion things you can do to increase happiness. Of course, you’re probably not doing any of them. To be fair, most people don’t really do much to deliberately make their lives happier. Via 100 Simple Secrets of the Best Half of Life: Researchers found that the…
Slowly, like the light of dawn that invisibly creeps across the morning… ever so slowly my mind has been reaching this realization. I don’t want to sound presumptuous. I’m 25 years old, what do i know about life? I just want to share the little lessons I’ve learned, and hope that may be somewhere, someone is […]
I open my eyes as the ringing in my ears fades to silence. I’m on my knees, forehead to the ground. The baby on my lap makes no cry, but waits; she’s smudged with soot, holding tightly the silver spoon in her hand. I lay her on the ground and walk away. Never looking back. […]
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… […]
A Life. A Still pond. Unseen. Unknown. Hidden from view except to those wayward raindrops. A swift motion changes the light; the movement shifting the composition. The ripples begin small at first taking time to grow, some clashing against each other, others joining together to augment their power till every inch of the pond is [...]
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. […]
After a long time, months almost, I dreamed that I was fighting for him again. I was defying the parents I love, disappointing them, turning into his arms and hoping that all the external conflicts would right themselves. There was a house. In Sri Lanka. A small but beautiful home painted all white, with traditional [...]
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, […]
September 4th, 1145am (flight to BKK via NRT departs in 2hrs) I’m extremely moody. Despite the worst of the stress ending last night around 730pm, I lay in bed, wide awake, tossing and turning till 5am. With just 3hrs of sleep under my belt, I got cleaned up and head to the airport. I was […]
In our attempt to find something new, see something new, and have a new experience every weekend, this Sunday Malli and I woke up early, got some of the chores out-of-the-way and headed to Plymouth Massachusetts around 930am. On the way we called Ravi to congratulate her for her wonderful O/L results. We talked about what she’s [...]
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 […]
Originally posted on The Fight In Me:[gallery type="rectangular" ids="1238,1239"] One morning, sitting by the window bathing in the sun she was eating an apple.

We hated it in high school, and college. For being restrictive, boring, and not being fun for the pure reason that reading the book only led to a paper, we hated summer reading lists. On the other hand I loved reading. I would always have a book with me, I went through all the books […]

Harold and Kumar have nothing on the adventures of Lyncy and Pavi in search of the greatest (and sometimes not so great) culinary experiences in the city of Boston. The best thing happened last Friday on our weekly date. This past Wednesday a Shake Shack opened in Chestnut Hill Newton. Lyncy heard about it, and [...]
Sometimes you get a job. Your dream job, and all your free time for writing, and blogging and sharing goes away. You even lose the time you had to have emotional situations, which call for emotional writing. Hence the long silence. But i think i found my rhythm in life once more. […]
