GOTTU
Back in those days when I was still a pucca child,in other words,a primary-schooler, there roamed in the bylanes encircling our school, a madman we all called Gottu. “Gottu” in Kannada means “I know”.A peculiar name to give,I agree,but certainly in keeping with the time-honoured tradition of rechristening the mentally ill in view of their personal ... more...

Ek choti si love story-5
Trisha Sharma leaned against a pillow,and as she did, she couldn't stop a little sigh from escaping her.Her eyes wandered vaguely to the view opening up from the window.Nothing remarkable,but familiar,and just now,very comforting.She replayed last night's conversation in her head,for what seemed to be the 4000th time.She had been at a new coffee sh... more...

Ek choti si love story-4
Trisha leaned her forehead onto the glass pane of herbedroom window.It felt cool,soothing.Outside, rain lashed out at the city withall the fury the ebony clouds could muster; drenching every tree,pebble, andwhitewashed roof; chilling every bone and making the mercury zoom into adownward spiral. Inside, though, the rain of Trisha’s tears did nothing... more...

Ek choti si love story-3
Trisha jolted out of her thoughts abruptly.The college gate seemed to have loomed up out of nowhere.She hastily dropped a few notes into the auto-driver's hand, and clambered out.              The weather seemed uncertain;fickle in it's loyalty, to the purple rainclouds, or the sun sulking behind them.It seemed to mirror Trisha's current state of b... more...

Ek choti si love story (part-2)
"Well, the movie was sort of dumb, actually", Trisha said, carelessly tossing around her fried rice. "But later...""Don't stop, Trish!", Ankita harrumphed."You shouldn't be getting into your 'Dreamer Poetess Literatti' mood at lunch, especially not when you're telling me how a date went off!""Okay, okay," said Trisha, an amused grin creeping up her... more...

Ek choti si love story
Trisha ducked into a corridor, blushing furiously.Godohgodohgod..... what was he doing here?Hadn't he left India years back?What did he think of her now?Did he even remember her?Or did he hate her now?Was he going to be her sworn enemy?                  The barrage of questions that flooded her brain were forced to a halt as Ankita thudded down the... more...

Circumstance
Cushy, was the matress,The pillow, just right,Suitably darkened, was the room,Purified with vaccum and broom,The air was conditioned perfect,Even milk and honey,Had drunk, the ad exec;But near, the deadline loomed,And she tossed and turned.Blazed, overhead, the midday sun,Neither matress, nor pillow,The mason woman had,All around-sand, brick and du... more...

"Whatever" Poem
Parched the earth, parched my throat,Parched my imprisoned soul;Thirsting each one, for it's own nutriment.It does not come, unkind heaven is deaf,To outstretched arms and pitiful cries;High gate and bronze door, shut in one deafening clang.The mortal self yielded first, poor corporal entity,Down on it's knees, inadvertent swaying;Then bit the dust... more...

I fell out of love --- Fidelity Excuse
I find this dilemma rather common for younger couples, probably mid or late 30s and younger.Usually one reports, “falling out of love” and is truly disturbed bythis shift. He/she (and this is not merely a female problem!) wants to“recapture” those feelings. This person has found a “significant other” who has stirred those dormant feelings and this ...  more...

All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it."Moral of the story: To be sitting and ...  more...
