YOU, I AND THE COOL OCEAN BREEZE
The ocean breeze pierces through our body and soul as two of us are sitting all alone on a summer afternoon on the beach, enjoying the utter silence of the sea.

THE FINAL EMBRACE
So, this is our final day as we are meeting each other for the one last time before your grand wedding. So, we have a few precious moments left before everything eventually falls apart, like a house of cards. As we just sit there silently, with our fingers clasped together and your head leaning on […]

A LETTER TO A STRANGER, EPISODE II
Ramadevi Women’s College, Saturday Morning: “Is everything ready?” “Yes, ma’am.” “See, everything needs to be as it was discussed. Can’t afford a single mistake. One mistake, and we are done and dusted.” “Noted, ma’am.” Vani Vihar, Saturday Evening: So, I get out of the bus and put my feet on the capital soil, after so […]

A LETTER TO A STRANGER, EPISODE ZERO
Don’t tell me anything now. I have a really important interview today. This is probably the most important interview of my life and I want it to go the best way possible as it will decide my career and maybe my life. Last month, I saw an advertisement in the newspaper about recruiting lecturers at […]

A LETTER TO A STRANGER
It’s raining outside as I stare at the passing trees through the window of the bus in which I am travelling right now to Bhubaneswar. My front seat is quiet and empty, eagerly waiting for its passenger. I am listening to Bollywood romantic songs on my phone. I will never get tired of listening to […]

Why I Am A Pessimist
I’m an out-and-out pessimist. I used to be an optimist back in the day, but as life gradually unfolded its diverse, complex layers, optimism began to fade away from the boundary of my consciousness. In the back of my subconscious mind, images of life as a wholly beautiful and ethereal experience started getting blurred as […]

Furthermore, you pray and worship god, but some of you still don’t possess basic humane qualities. You can go down to any […]

Inevitable Pain And A Blurred Vicinity
Pain is inevitable for a writer. Sometimes, it’s too ineffable to put it into words, but it is what it is. Were it not for the pain, I wouldn’t have been a writer. Pain ignites in me a plethora of scintillating, blistering emotions, enough to set the typewriter on fire, with my fingers moving faster […]

Floating In The Fabric of Emptiness
Detached from the illusory reality, I was floating like a jellyfish in the fabric of spacetime in the middle of nowhere. What I see before my eyes is a dark, empty reality, standing still in front of me, distant and cold, with lights oozing out of their existence. Everything hovering there is like a pandora […]

Random Thoughts Needed To Be Expressed, Part II
I never studied during my college days. I would spend nights reading lots of novels, exploring different genres of movies, and listening to all kinds of music alone in my room. Books provided me the comfort that any other human presence couldn’t. They were my soul, in a way my companion in isolation. Movies stimulated […]

JUST RANDOM THOUGHTS NEEDED TO BE EXPRESSED
I see through the deep, dense brown eyes of the artist. They reveal to me some terrible reality that lies hidden, buried deep in human consciousness. Those eyes radiate waves of melancholy and grief, sadness piled up for so long. I see what they are trying to convey to me, they are trapped inside this […]
