A visit

It was a tiny apartment on the 6th floor. Rather, it was just a room with an attached bathroom; no kitchen. There wasn’t anyone to cook anyway. The rent was cheap and it suited Allen well. The place gave all the privacy a writer needed. Not many visited him and he visited no one. On …

Random rhyme

“I used to be a naughty child” That’s what they said to me, So I left the wretched house, Was as happy as I could ever be. There were new people on the streets, White eyes in black sockets, That was when I met a boy, He had picked a hundred pockets. I was useless …

Through Time

“This is highly unacceptable! We have been wronged and stripped of our basic rights! But hear you me, my brothers, we shall not stand down!” The voice boomed from all around in the fairly large conference hall, but seemed to have no effect on the silent audience. No stir of approval, no rustling agitation, no …

Probably because my blog is less than a year old. Or maybe because …

2012 is here

Strangely, till a few hours ago I had never spent a waking New Year’s midnight in the physical presence of another human being. It’s in no way by choice. In fact, I realized it just today. Mostly I’m a friendless person; a loner in other words. Partying and dancing with a group of human beings …

Resilience

Yet another failure. Matt Woodifield frowned at the freshly-painted canvas held in his messy palms. Something was missing. Quite amateurish, he decided. The dingy, one-room apartment had grown dark over the past few hours of intense work. A beam of the evening sun, having invaded through a gap in the curtains, traveled across the room …

The floating room

Now that Kolkata’s famous monsoons have set in, the view outside the window has undergone some significant changes. No traces remain of the lively neighborhood made bright by the blazing white streets of Mangalam Park. Instead, there lay a dim world dripping with moisture, which might be considered anything between romantic and dull, depending on …

Feathered clouds

Once again they scatter; a whirlpool of randomness. Lazy, searching eyes drift across and rest, On a form akin to avian wings. Concrete soothes my back, firm and still, High, surrounding walls bind me to a world unreal, A world of queens and kings. Wings they were, no doubt; what use were wings to clouds? …
