what is my super-power?
I’ve spoken more than once about my games while growing up. The cape on my shoulders: the flight, the jumping of buildings in a single bound. The vines: the jungles, the swinging and leaping through dense trees galore. The battle(s) with evil f...
alma mater
Looking out the window, I recognized familiar landmarks. The things you see every day, that become part of a routine; and then one day you see them no more. I was dropped at the corner as I had been all those years ago. I started a walk I had done ev...
vestigial recollections and resolutions
Engines whir, and I watch as the plane passes the runway, the adjoining highway, then another, and another…then they blur together amongst the millions of blinking lights that make up the streets and homes of Bombay. I desperately try to retain...
india continues
I get a breather for a few days after Bangalore, Mayiladurai, Thirrakadaiyur and Trichy.. and return to the insanity of Bombay. To prepare for the next stage of insanity. I have returned from one of the more memorable trips I’ve made recently.....
speed
It was time. His left foot depressed the clutch, his right the accelerator, one hand grasped the steering wheel in a vice while the other manipulated the gear box in a frenzy of movement. 0-1-2-25-3-40-4-55-5-60… gears at max, his hands both cl...
senescence
I never really realized how the people around me have aged until very recently. Somehow the people I knew when I left India were not people who could grow old. They had dark hair, glowing faces and were always larger than life. And yet, since the day...
in the rays of the setting sun
the rays of the setting sun flash across the room, a flash of orange that begins from nowhere.. but seems to search for an end. the glow highlights small forgotten things that lie around the room: a set of cables that are remembered when a movie need...
becoming the king of the world
there are many ways in which one says they're the king of the world. reaching a world record. winning a world tournament. reaching a world no.1 spot. and many other things that have 'world' in the title. watching 2 men hunched over their arcade machi...

words
Monty Brogan: Well, fuck you, too. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking...
spring musings
sitting outside on a sunny spring day, with a crapload of stuff to eventually get done. and doing none of it. this is the life. and so on, as i patter away on a laptop, killing a perfectly beautiful saturday afternoon. [...]...

moments to treasure, moments to forget
saying it sucks when it doesn’t, saying it doesn’t suck when it does, a smile for no reason, nearly meeting and nearly missing each other, a face lighting up, a face literally reflecting the fall in your mood, sitting in the balcony and w...
i feel amazed
having seen ‘we feel fine‘. truly amazed. some people get truly inspired in the most amazing of ways. and then of course, one has the entering of commenters on youtube and digg.. finally facing real life. and finally, about the tenth dime...
bobble bubble bobble
i watched as the bubble detached itself from nothingness, and floated off into the space above me. watching it drift along, awaiting the point when it would explode. which would be all too soon, a tad disappointing, but very expected. it didn’t...
a chúisle mo chroí
knock-out blow. get up. fight on. pounded in the ribs. fight on. knock your nose out of shape. fight on. keep on your feet. fight on. i’ve watched my grandfather fight on for years. he never faltered, not when he was made dependent on an air ma...
i could fly
when i was a kid, i could fly. i would spread my cape, swell my chest, and worlds would tremble. a jump, and i was afloat in the air. a duck and a swirl, and cloud formations would part. a swoop and a dive, and i would be truly alive. in the large be...

the lack of a lesson learnt
2 planes. 2 skyscrapers. collapse. ruin. destruction. the true horror of the incident was indelibly re-etched. i've seen how the plane was hijacked all due to the carelessness of america. they were lax, and they paid. but the price paid, was far beyo...
