So I missed my flight. A first. Running across the line for security, down the escalator towards that god forsaken gate B35 (of course it had to be right under, way down to the left), I felt the ache in my feet, the shortness in my breath – “Give up”, “Yeah you’d like that, right?” I dragged myself […]
How are we as humans different than things? To compare, who wants a broken brain any more than they want a broken thing? Ever thought that the two things that differentiate the living from the non-living, is the ability to think and feel. Then within this living, what makes us humans superior? The cognitive ability […]
Myself. Yes. It is true. Before I even begin, let me tell you that this is not going to be a post about self pity or praise, nor one where I pour my heart out about my past to find answers for my present; if there is one thing I’ve learnt, it’s this – there is no […]
An empty liquor bottle, a couple of lighters, and then there was the pencil; all abandoned on the train track; a story. Traces of a writer, you know the kind who writes to be inspired. Such species, they search for larger meaning in worldly things; who take things personally, feel extreme joy and dejection as a […]
February 3, 2016 It had been my second winter break since I moved to New York. As excited as I was to go back the first time, I was that much more apprehensive the second time around. A lot had changed. I, myself, was in a transition, just about stumbling upon my own sense of […]
Unabridged. Unadulterated. Unbridled. Lately, I’m seeing a pattern in my life, where I stumble upon things that are perfectly aligned with my thoughts, only to augment my vision, enrich my perspective. They say as soon as you start owning your own, initiate that first intent toward your goal, the universe actualizes every effort to align with you. […]
Chaos Theorist. Why did these words resonate with me? Was it because lately, I’ve come to be more and more comfortable with chaos? Almost to a point where I need to be in constant motion – as a way of life. I’ve been thinking deeper into the origins of my thoughts, my ideas – of myself, […]
Often after a long day at work, on my subway ride back home, I drift into a series of contemplative thoughts. Today it was a combination of more than a couple of reasons — a sense of uncertainty, due to both internal and external circumstances, an article on a concept used by a commercial, amidst those thoughts, a Medium […]
312 days. Along this journey, which by no means is complete (or even close to), I’ve stumbled a million times, fallen a few hundred of those, and even failed in some versions. But somehow, I found it in myself, and through stories of others, to keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other. […]
Here’s to rescuing every thought in my mind, and releasing it into reality! Greenlight Bookstore – I didn’t even know what I was looking for, browsing through all those notebooks. It’s a weakness, I tell myself. In reality, I think it’s an addiction – my addiction for words, for stories. Although a lot of my stories […]
