Poem: A swirl of one’s own
In the ten days since you arrived, We’ve heard you are like us. Her father’s chin, her mother’s ears. When she’s angry, she fits right in, On the maternal side. Forgotten uncles now show their shadows. In your absurdly tiny … Continue reading

Pots of rouge, little boxes of eyeshadows, gleaming rich colours in lipstick tubes, the creamy sets of foundation and the brushes, always the brushes! It’s a world with forbiddingly high walls if you don’t know what you’re doing. I had … Continue reading

Personal Ads
What a wonderful way to kill time. Found this lovely blog called Advertising for Love via Marginal Revolution. Incredible stuff. Yes, why indeed do people send out missives to others when the chance of being read is so low?

In Istanbul
This city must be a cartographer’s delight. Istanbul is unlike any other city I’ve been to. Though it appears to have snatched tiny bits of other cities’ souls. In Istanbul, I’ve become the tourist that I usually love to make … Continue reading

Music and beauty on the Underground
Everything is sudden. Like how in unexpected corners one finds music. A few nights back, a gig in the tube. I am told by a rather weird but obviously wise man sitting next to me that such things always happen … Continue reading
