An epiphany

Yesterday, my sister cooked a winter special leafy vegetable. I did NOT like it, it was bland. It was bland to the point that it enraged me. How can something taste so plain? It was bland to the point that it was not edible. I blamed her recipe / preparation. It was only chopped leafs…

A week in hell

The beginning: It starts on a Friday morning. I had one of those special nights when I just can’t sleep. I fell asleep when dawn was nearing. I slept through both the alarms and woke up by the call from transportation coordinator. He was asking me if I would be taking the second pickup. Got…

A new species

These days, I frequently observe in youngsters and elders alike, that everybody has become a show-off. Everything they wear, and everything they do is to seek attention, to try to impress. I wait for my office pick-up near a bus stop. I am punctual, and the bus is generally not (thanks to the traffic). It…

Is the Universe conspiring against me?

I’m nobody. But that doesn’t stop my mind from wandering and imagining things. A little bit of schizophrenia there. to make it worse, if there are things happening repeatedly which are not so desirable and not so frequent otherwise, I inadvertently think about a conspiracy. Of late, our team is asked to do on-call support,…

Pooled variegated cardigan 

My current project is sort of best of both worlds – a combination of top down and bottom up crocheting. While it is a little bit more effort than usual, I feel more confident about the “finishing” of the project. I had 4 hanks of 56g each in my stash. The yarn is 3 ply…

Life is Temporary

    Tears are temporary, so is laughter Failure is temporary, so is success Dark is temporary, as is brightness Pain is temporary, so is happiness “Life is temporary”. Nothing reminds me of this fact more than the sunset. The sun, in all its glory is a great indication of power. It is one tiny…

Happy Anniversary

Demonetisation completes its one year. It is a bit of bitter-sweet memories. I remember there was very little cash I had with me. I had not foreseen how awful the ATM and Bank situations will be. I witnessed long queues in front of all the bank branches and ATM, that were located on my way…

Daemons within

I suffer from lack of sleep. Is it insomnia, delayed sleep syndrome, or just that my body does not need as much sleep, this is something I am yet to figure out. I ignored this problem for years. Last year, I realized that this is affecting my personal life and professional life both. I finally…

Daemons within

I cannot stand noise. Correction. I am intolerant towards most of the sound. Even smallest of sound irk me to no bounds. Dripping tap, vibration of phone, people coughing or clearing throat, the faintest of sound my old Nokia phone makes on silent mode upon receiving a notification. I got sick about being so picky…

Daemons within

Everybody has daemons to fight Some are within, some are outside External daemons affect the internal ones. Internal daemons are getting worse, I need a guide I have been struggling with internal and external daemons for a very long time. My biggest problem, my everyday challenge is anger. I am short-tempered, and I am hot-tempered….
