Reaching Mumbai!
Three days before my day of departure, I was left stranded with a cancelled ticket and I still had not managed to find a place to stay when I reached my destination. I had no other option but to ask my father to come down to Mumbai and help me out. The best part of … Read more
A Thank You Note
This entry is unlike my usual pieces. I have no intentions to keep a check on my word count or choice of words for this one. I plan to write the words as they come out, because I have heard numerous times that the first thought that comes into mind when you think of something … Read more
What (Not) To Do, If You Had One Hour to Spare In Alleppey!
The other day I had to get down at the Alleppey Bus Stand to get a connecting bus. When I asked at the enquiry, they told me I had another hour and 20 minutes to go, before the bus arrived! At first I just walked around, but then I decided to take a look around … Read more
2 Down, 3 More to Go!

A Letter to Dr. Kalam
I remember being 13 and believing that I had discovered the root of all the problems that Indians faced.

A Resurrection
This is something that I penned down for the creative writing competition for the cultural fest at NIT Calicut this year. The organisers were kind enough to adjudge this piece as the best entry. Essentially, I had to come up with something that referred to all three items in the given photo. Hope you enjoy … Read more
Good Things Come In Pairs!
“Good things come in pairs.” The first time I heard those phrases I was being offered two mandarin oranges during the festivities of Chinese New Year! At that time, I was way too happy to have two of my favourite fruits, to think more about this Chinese Saying. Honestly, no other orange makes me go … Read more
Beauty, An Elusive Concept
On various occasions I have felt the need to pen down something about my concept of beauty, or at the very least appreciate some other woman’s idea of good looks. In retrospect these instances were preceded by someone hinting at how I am not exactly what you call stunning. Each time I was at the … Read more
The Masses Are Always Dumb.
And always will be! I speak here, of people like you and me, who form the majority of most polls, votes, surveys, etc. The other day I was watching Rambo 3, and somewhere along the way this Afghan man says aloud, “God must love crazy people. He made so many of them!” Maybe not all … Read more
