Episode 1 Having gone through the 2 year ordeal of MCQ-mugging considered mandatory for clearing pre-med entrance tests with sincerity and dedication I had expected to feature in the merit list of at least one of the 11 exams I have appeared in(inspite of the fact that some of them were for even just 30 [...]

“Let’s see, where was I then? Ah I remember…the girl! She was dark, was a wee bit plump…..and had disobedient curly locks that fell all around her rather roundish face often blocking her bespectacled vision. Her face was freckled but pleasant, mainly because of her large black eyes and though the frizz never died in [...]

“Where are you?  But you said you were at the Metro station 15 minutes ago! I’ve already bought our tickets. No, no, I’m not going in without you. Yes, ok, I’m waiting.

My father had been a chronic smoker for 29 years- 7 years of dating my mother and another 22 years of marriage. In these 29 years my mother had tried everything from tears to emotional blackmail to banging her head against the wall (there are 8 stitches on her head to show for it) to [...]

It was bedtime again in our south behala apartment overlooking a grey neighbourhood ….blinds drawn, the tubelights switched off, and all the locks securely fastened and keys placed under mom’s pillows. The only dim glow was that which emanated from the pc screen in the living room where my father was working and intermittently grumbling [...]

I was Jahan’s cover. A simple, “Ma, I’m going to Trina’s” would get her an unsuspected and uninterrupted 3-4 hours with Nob. And Nob felt like it was his obligation to get me some company while he and Jahan spent some “alone” time “together” in my room. So Nob would drag D along, almost as [...]

Sort of a Fairy Tale – II

That Windows XP installation CD had been lying in his dishevelled bag for too long and had been scratched beyond repair with his keys and cap-less pens and weed-shredding pocket scissors.  It never ran (perhaps that’s why I was allowed to frame it later on, otherwise it would be impossible to get a techie to [...]

“Write down the story of what happened to us,” he said, his last words to me, the last time we spoke, the last time I saw those long camel eye-lashes brush his spectacles every time he blinked, the last time I saw his lips pursed and curve to the right because he was trying to [...]

Wisdom II – Restoration

The city was lit bright, this time by the 4th of July fireworks, red, green and fiery orange. The upside-down rock must be dark this night too, it must’ve been damp just like last time, a chilly breeze must’ve flown over it. But I will never know again because I will never go there again. [...]
