  • Rediscovering Heaven

    So much of our life is spent in longing. But, often, we don't even know what we are pining for, there's just that feeling of emptiness, of standing at the edge of something unfulfilled.

    Is it because we forget sometimes that all the important things are either beside us or inside us?

  • Coffee, You & Me
    Don't we sometimes feel that we can talk with strangers more freely than we can with those closest to us? Is it because there's a strange sense of freedom with a stranger, because we know the person in front of us is not prejudging us. 
     
    In those few moments of liberation, when we are free, not being appraised, we soar. We are our best selves.

  • Calcutta - A Lover's Epitaph

    Our relationship with the city we have grown up in or know intimately is nothing less than a love affair. It is capable of bringing us ecstasy and disappointments just the way a lover can.

    Calcutta for me is that loved one.

  • The Importance of Faith in Love
    The tragedy which follows the tragedy of a broken heart is the subsequent denial of love, a rejection. The fear of again getting hurt is so overwhelming that the one who is scorned builds insurmountable walls around one's being. Nothing can get through.
     
    Until something does.

  • Missing My Old Chaos
    In these chaotic and uncertain times, there is so much of recalibration which is taking place, even as we grapple with new realities. This incarceration has its terrible downsides,  but for a person who loves to read and write , it's godsend. 
     
    But it is not easy to delink an old life so easily. And the daily routine which we abhorred, suddenly looks warm and fuzzy through the lens of nostalgia.

  • On Social Distancing (& Other Ways to Come Close)
    We are living in extraordinary times,  when everything we know as normal is being pulled asunder. 
     
    We need to desperately step back and relook at our lives with new eyes. And we have to  discover how much we have lost to come so far.
     
    Is this grim time then the time to rediscover the pleasures of those pristine times?

  • A City Made of Our Sighs
    Cities and love stories are so intimately intertwined that often the city becomes a character in the tale. 
     
    With time, memory slips into wistfulness because every place the lovers had spent time in has a story attached to it. A journey through the city becomes a haj of love.  
     
    The city becomes a map of unending unrequited love.
