That's right! I write!
Just your run-of-the-mill piece of fictionalized rant, based on personal as well as experiences of others, so I don’t mean any offence at all. Thanks for understanding! 🙂 Fuck Namastes. I say Vanakkam. If you’ve noticed my skin tone, and wondered if I’m Indian or Pakistani, or Sri Lankan, or definitely “from around there”, I’ll […]
Read More Fuck Namastes, I say VanakkamIt’s been a long time since I blogged, and I didn’t want to give up on this month’s quota like last month’s. So, I tried to find a piece of short fiction that all of you might enjoy, and found Mr. Grunge on one of my folders. I hope you like it! If someone wanted […]
Read More Mr. GrungeI’ve been watching movie after movie with a hero dissecting a piece of information or a case or something important to mankind, and a woman is at his aide, being the one to loosen him up, to be the “support”, or be the extra in his life where he takes all these important decisions. Granted, […]
Read More The Gender AnatomyMy everyday breakfast involves a large bowl of cereal with almost one-and-a-half mugs of milk. Until a few weeks ago, I relished that thought, prided myself even at drinking that milk, or finishing those large boxes of yoghurt and the finest of cheeses. But today, the stupidity that is banning Jallikattu throws its medusa-like spears at us, and we […]
Read More Milking the BullsIn terms of my career, I am heading towards a really good place in my life, and I couldn’t feel happier about it. I’m writing, reading and pretty much singing my days away- it somehow feels surreal. However, the only thing that has really always plagued my mind is ‘Weight loss’. We live in a […]
Read More A potato’s guide to fitnessWe all love our jobs, but there are just some everyday situations we encounter and respond to- mostly as a knee-jerk reaction. I had this crazy thought last evening and spent the rest of the night imagining what people would say to these situations in an undying spirit of satire. These situations are a fictional […]
Read More Silence of the Office“All the world’s a stage” by Shakespeare is easily my favourite phrase ever. What follows now is not Jaques’ monologue, but mine. Our melancholy is shared, but mine are well.. new-agey and digital. While some beg to differ, to me an evening well spent with my friends would often include large doses of laughter, an inexorable punch of […]
Read More All the world’s a stage and I have stage fright!In the light of the unforeseen rains that brought the beloved city of Chennai to a standstill, with flooded roads and houses choked with water, and all everyone could think of was to get to their families. The highest rainfall in 100 years has led to snakes and poisonous reptiles making their appearances in a […]
Read More When the city sunk, humanity surfacedHaving felt a little (oh no terribly) guilty after I indulged in a Mozzarella grill, signs that my body could no longer take days of shoving ‘healthy’ food down its throat and into its gut, I decided to rethink my moment of weakness and take a step-by-step approach as to why I was self-sabotaging my weight loss […]
Read More Oh W A (e) I (gh)T ! That’s me you’re talking about!Well, this isn’t the first time I’m writing to mope about the traffic in Chennai, so this may come a little in your face if you own or drive a two-wheeler (including a bicycle), a car, an autorickshaw (tuk-tuk), a taxi, a bus, or even if you’re practically just walking! So, the other day, I was […]
