What is it about love?

“What is it about love that keeps us going for it despite all heartbreaks and trauma?” It’s raining outside.We are too lazy to do anything that require movement,so we decide to de-stress out in the balcony watching the rain. You have just sat down next to me with a hot cup of tea and I couldn’t be more happy. May […]

You are not in love with me, are you?

“You are not in love with me, are you?”, He asks me with his mischievous smirk. Really not the best time to ask, I think to myself. I am dressed in glorious red, a color that could equally mean pain and passion. I am like a house lit up for diwali not really sure how to handle the inevitable darkness […]

“How do you write about love when you have never been in love?” I ask him today. This was long due, I have been wanting to ask him this ever since I started reading him. He smiles, then replies, “There is nothing much to it… It’s just like everything else. May be even easier.” I look at him perplexed. All […]

This is inspired from the kdrama ‘The Devil Judge’. I fell in love with the ost and wanted to write.

People

People are selfish by nature. You, me, everyone. We say we don’t harm people intentionally. May be we don’t physically. But emotionally, we do much damage than we take credit for. The echoes of the hurt we once received resonates, magnifies and then hits people close to us – people who have nothing to do with our pain or our […]

A Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini

All through the book , “A Thousand Splendid Suns“, I kept going back to a so- called healthy discussion I had with somebody recently. I shared a post saying “Women suffer more in a war created by men” or something along the line( Context: Taliban taking over Afghanistan) and he was worried or even offended ( can’t account to what […]

Heaven – Mieko Kawakami

I have always been amazed by the way some Asian writers craft their character and storyline. The best part is, it is never just about the stories or people but equally about the character’s emotions, their feelings at a particular moment. The level of detailing is so good that you feel like you are in that person’s head all through […]

ആത്മാവ് പാടുമ്പോൾ – ഭാഗം 6

 മനുഷ്യർ മനസ്സ് മടുപ്പിക്കുന്ന വൈകുന്നേരങ്ങളിൽ, ജീവിതത്തില്‍ നിന്ന് കുറച്ച് നേരം എങ്കിലും ഒളിച്ചോടണം എന്ന് തോന്നുന്ന ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ ഇങ്ങനെ മാനം നോക്കിയിരിക്കുക എനിക്കും രവിക്കും ശീലമാണ്. നിശ്ചലമായ ആകാശത്തിനു  മനസ്സിനെ തണുപ്പിക്കാന്‍ ഒരു പ്രത്യേക കഴിവാണ് എന്നാണ് രവി പറയാറ്. കുസൃതി  കാട്ടി  പിണങ്ങിപ്പോയ ഒരു കുട്ടി തിരിച്ചു വരുന്നതും കാത്തു പഠിപ്പുരയിൽ  നിൽക്കുന്ന  അമ്മയെപോലെയാണത്രെ   ആകാശം.  കഴിഞ്ഞതെല്ലാം ആ  പഠിപ്പുരക്കപ്പുറം ഇറക്കി വെച്ച് ആ  സ്നേഹാലിംഗനത്തിലേക്ക് ഓടി കേറുകയേ നാം ചെയ്യേണ്ടതുള്ളൂ . അത്ര മാത്രം . സന്ധ്യയുടെ ചുവപ്പിനെ രാത്രിയുടെ […]
