My brother used to tell me that I was one of the few people whom he followed on Twitter. I did check his twitter once. He was following celebrities like Donald Trump and then there was me. When I asked him why, he said it was interesting to see what was on my mind. I…
I hadn’t read and finished a full book in a long time. I kept buying book after book wondering if this would be the one that would keep me hooked till the last page. And then the harsh reality hit me. I didn’t like most modern stories. I didn’t feel up to the modern ideas…
All my life I have been shamed for yearning for attention. Be it from my parents or from my classmates or from someone I dated. It has always been shunned. Why? What is wrong with asking someone to hear out what you are trying to say? Or focus on smaller details? Being the youngest in…
I wish I had a more brighter and more positive blog post to write. But I don’t. Life has not been easy on me for the past few months. Since last November I have had more calls and heard more news about loved ones passing than any other kind of news. Usually it would be…
Recently a guy I know was talking to me and this is how the conversation went. Him(H) : so why are you leaving this job z Me(M) : my physical and mental health is at a toss and I need to take care of myself. H: what happened to your mental health? M: oh I’m…
I have been drafting this in my head for the past three days. But I was not able to sit and write it down. Writer’s Block maybe? I don’t know. So one more year gone and man was it one heck of ruckus. I don’t think I have seen these many ups and downs in…
When the music album was released a friend of mine said one of the songs matches a scene in a Murakami novel. And it did. The song in question was Iravingu Theevai and the novel was 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. I badly wanted to watch this movie before anyone spoiled anything so I silently booked…
I initially sat down to write on another prompt. But this one sort of pulled me more. So I came across this prompt Describe the last time you were moved to tears by something beautiful And there was this really amazing experience I had in recent times that was dangerously close to what…
“Well that was a hearty dinner…” Vedh spoke as Iniya got inside the car. Even after spending the entire evening with her he was still not able to digest the fact that she looked amazingly beautiful in saree. “Yeah says the guy who hesitated to come in the first place.” She was completely oblivious to…
I always (used to) tell my dad, “My wedding should be like a festival (thiruvizha)… Like a celebration…” It normally should be, right? I mean a wedding is when a family invites a new member into their home. It is when two families actually become one for the sake of two individuals. Of course it…
Another year is going to end. In a very long time I have more thank you notes to send out than any other message. 2017 has been in a way, a year of achievements. I finally packed up enough courage and quit my corporate job. The year didn’t start so well. But I think I…
There is this small part of me that’s pro geek. Almost as geeky as the guys in The Big Bang Theory who gush on and on about comicon. Guess I will have to thank my brother for that. This franchise was one of the few things that helped me share a tiny bonding moment with…
Yup! I am back with another one of my camping adventures. Except this time this trip sort of became something I hold very dear to my life. And I hope more people get this wonderful feeling in their lives at one point of time. When I heard that Exoticamp was arranging a camping trip to…
I just finished watching the movie Pink. Yeah almost after a year I have managed to finish watching it. What do I say… It was taxing. It was pretty triggering for me. For a person who could relate so much with Minal Arora, Falak Ali and Andrea Taraing I couldn’t watch it in one go….
By now anyone reading my blog would have guessed that I am becoming a regular customer at Exoticamp. So when the host mentioned that their Sri City camp is ready with all the facilities I badly wanted to pay a visit. After finishing a really comical movie my friend and I started for the camp which…
