• what do i really believe in?

  Posted on Monday August 24th, 2009 at 23:45 in thoughts, views, realization, staying.in.my.head

  When it comes to religion, a lack of knowledge about the unknown has meant that I have come to classify myself as a sort of agnostic (as opposed to atheistic), but if you were to argue with me about God and rituals you’ll find I’m mostly ...

  I had more than a few posts all done and ready for posting yesterday onwards. Right now? I have deep deep thoughts. You know, the kind that can start a new religion ‘n stuff. I’ll fill in the blanks later. Meanwhile I encourage you to sta...

  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...

  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.....

  I left the lab the other night, getting into my car, going through the usual rigmarole of adjusting seat belts, switching on the ubiquitous mp3 player, and putting the car into ‘R’. The first chords sounded… When I wake up yeah I kn...

  Posted on Tuesday April 14th, 2009 at 12:04 in india, realization, staying.in.my.head, in the past

  Getting up at 4 am, bleary-eyed and barely awake, I would half-stumble, half be dragged to the swami corner. Multiple applications of water to the eyes would ensue as my parents attempted to make me notice every single tiny detail of the vishu kani. ...

  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...

  Posted on Saturday December 13th, 2008 at 18:34 in felt, staying.in.my.head, in the past

  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...
