Ambience of loneliness
Beside these busy streets with robust crowd, I am here sitting under this lonely tree- dwelling about something; searching for faces in those dark coppery clouds, as the sun joins the horizon, and the moon kisses goodbye to its disguise. Here these winds bring me the swampness of soil, as the earthy smell of the…
Cherish Every Occasion

There are plentiful occasions in our lives when we gather to party, such as birthdays, formal dinners, graduations, promotions etc. We are lucky that we have these reasons in our lives to spread joy. These small moments bring happiness to us and…
Gwangbok– The Cat
People often ask me, “Why Gwangbok? Why not something less complicated and easier to pronounce?” Human kvetch or perhaps some sincere inquisitive minds lurking for an answer. I take a few breaths, and with a slight grin on my face, I am ready for words to descend, “It’s a Korean name, adapted from a lesser-known…

Dealing with Rejection and the Accompanying Dejection
As I check my email for the umpteenth time for mails from recruiters, I feel my heart beating faster. I see there are seven recruiters who have “shown interest in my profile”. Sadly, none of the seven have called me yet. The speed at which my heart was beating a while ago, has lessened considerably,…

kairosclerosis
The moment you realize that you’re currently happy—consciously trying to savor the feeling—which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart and put it in context, where it will slowly dissolve until it’s little more than an aftertaste. Coined in 2012 by John Koenig in The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, a project, to create…
Ecstasy
Wearing seduction as her armour, she set out in wonder for her walk, drawing him towards her by her magical pull, from the confines of the dark clouds he securely wore as his attire, like a snake charmer gets a snake rise and dance to his melodies. Enchanted by her- “Who are you?”, he asked….
Mine and Mine Alone
“Tickets for three please”, she said to the attendant. All this while she feigned ignorance, putting her best act, as though she hadn’t noticed my presence. “Well played”, I thought to myself with a crooked smile lighting up my face. “She just won’t let anyone know that I am the only one who gets to…
Ambedo
A kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—briefly soaking in the experience of being alive, an act that is done purely for its own sake.
