Fuck what Life is supposed to be

“Something is wrong with me” – is a thought I’ve been hearing from more and more people lately. Not just one age group, but all. And I don’t remember hearing any such thoughts a few years ago from anyone around me. People, even in this convenient era, seem to be convinced more than ever before, […]

Learning the value of Balance the hard way

Paradoxically, a good sign of growing up is realising you have been wrong about many things throughout your life. All words have feelings, and we are all drawn to certain words more than others accordingly. And conversely, there are some words we nonchalantly swat away. One word I grew up to like was randomness. Whether […]

Finding Silver Linings in 2017

Time can appear to fly in two kinds of scenarios: either you’re having so much fun, life is such a party, that you don’t realise where the time went. Or you are not living at all, but just surviving.

The hard truth of my dreams

Mr P is quite an obnoxious person. He’s not bitter; he just acts like a bigger know-it-all than Hermione Granger. For the last year or so, he’s been following me around closely.

“It’s Rooney. It’s inevitable!”

To love Manchester United is to love Wayne Rooney. Or at least that’s the way it was for me. That’s the way it began. My best friends were Man United fans, and I started watching matches with them. I watched Wayne Rooney score goal after goal,

If you had one wish, what would it be?

He could recall the tiniest of details every time he was there. Where the rainwater puddles were deepest. Where the rustling of the trees was loudest.

That rare moment of feeling accepted

We are all born unique. And though in the beginning all we do is eat, cry and sleep, it is ironic that we are the most unique in our earliest years. There is no concept of society for a baby, and they know exactly what they want, and how to get it : just cry and […]

What Love means to me

Last year, I was telling a couple of friends in a cafe about a woman I’m deeply fond of, and how she had little idea about it. My friends thought I was stupid to hold onto this thought since the woman was seeing someone else. I said,

Who is the architect of your life?

You’re sitting in an exam, for which you moderately prepared. One by one, you trudge along answering the familiar sounding questions. Then suddenly, your pen stops. It’s a question you have never seen before. What do you do? One choice is to leave the question altogether. If you do attempt to answer, you can sneak […]
