I remember the first time when I thought I could write a short story. It was when I read khushwant singh’s tale about his grandmother. Not in the same league as khushwant singh, but maybe in my own league. But my lazy bum being what it is, the ideas for stories always remained where it [...]

There used to be a big frog community living in a well. A young frog named sotnas was among them in that well. For him the whole world was this well and there was no world bigger than his well. From childhood he had noticed that there was a brick in the well, which was [...]

His face stood out in the crowd. Even on a hot day it radiated peace. Silently he stared at the long queue of patients waiting for their turn to meet the doctors, in that huge hospital. Life indeed had taken him places. From a small village in Kerala to a wealthy financial professional in the [...]

Staring at a blank notepad for a long time doesn’t produce a journal entry. Or maybe it just will, if you stare long enough.
“You have to choose between the snails and the tree” I was told. I was in an ethical dilemma over handling a situation in my Garden. Leaves of a medium-sized [...]

We all met on the way and walked together…

Patterns, Nothing but Patterns,
The whole world is nothing but patterns of patterns.
The neo-mathematician said.
You, Me, and the thoughts, Earth, Sky and Eternal Time,
Nothing but Pure patterns.

Vibrations, Nothing but vibrations,
The whole world is nothing but vibrations within vibrations.
The neo-physicist said.
You, Me, and the thoughts, Earth, Sky and Eternal [...]

in circles with life I go,
round and round and round and round.
I search answers,
I stumble on more questions.
I’ve started loving the way,
this happens again and again and over again.
if you chance upon truth, dont let it go,
kill it, exorcise it, and do let me know.
(an entry for praveen.)

“So” I asked., “as per your religious books, the world was created maximum 4000-5000 years ago”.
“Yes,” the believer said.
“Then,” I further queried him, “how do you explain the million year old fossils of Dinosaurs?”
The believer replied. “When God created the world 4000-5000 years ago, he implanted those fossils on [...]

I gave way to laziness today…
slept through all morning
slumber took control of me,
as I melted into a deep sleep,
I woke up in the evening,
to realize that I had slept all day!
I got up., Had a really refreshing bath..
Standing under the lukewarm shower,
With eyes closed..
I could feel all the ripples
of the mind melt away..
No guilty, no [...]

had a chat with Pradeep today,and I remembered a parable,when our chat took a philosophical twist?
***
a child was playing with clay,he started creating images out of clay,he made earth, moon, stars, planets,he created fish, animals, water,and soon he created men,they all came to life, in the imagination of child.
soon, men [...]

While driving,
I saw…
Few gulls,
Making noises and having fun in the air,
As if they had come for the picnic,
From the seashore, which was their home.
Puffed clouds,
Aware, omnipresent, detached,
Floating in the blinding white sky.
Not forcing themselves,
Just going with the flow
A farmland,
Silently grazing innocent cattle,
Unaware that, They will soon become,
Breakfast for humans.
I stopped seeing…
And just [...]
