For all of us, there have been moments when we can’t resist the urge to run away from the mad world that surrounds us. We wish to leave all the competition, all the rush, all the hurry behind and be someplace where those things are not only immaterial, they don’t even exist if you don’tContinue reading “Hometown Diaries #2: The Void”

CHAPTER ONE: THE PROPHECY
The skies parted, the clouds farted and somewhere in heaven a party started. Somebody in that party was joking with somebody else, and the joke was about the kingdom. Somebody said, “All that place needs are a prophecy and a chosen one.” Somebody else joined in by saying, “Yeah, something like ‘Your chosen savior willContinue reading “CHAPTER ONE: THE PROPHECY”
Hometown Diaries #1: Society
Whenever someone asks me the location of my home in Kharagpur, the answer I give often incites unique responses from them. The reason for that is, the name of the place in the local terminology is “Society”. Yes, that is the name. Officially named ‘Hijli Co-operative Society’, rarely is the full name used.

A perfect expression of what we need. We need this.

Conventions not all of us can follow. Or want to. I have been having a tough time trying to get backContinue reading “Give up?”
Be the master
A simple line I glanced at on my own blog’s dashboard.. “Be the master of your own domain”, it made me realize something. I worry too much. Most of us do. In spite of having achieved something or more than something significant we start worrying about unnecessary things which can be done without worrying as well.Continue reading “Be the master”
