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,…

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…

A new definition of “tame”

If you lookup the dictionary, it says “fear of humans, frightened of people”. This is, however, in context of animals. I feel slightly differently. I wouldn’t mind being called “tamed”. *** I actually really really fear human being. I do not want to interact with anybody, except a few near and dear ones. I am not anti-social.  People…

Power of self belief

“I don’t think I can do it.” There is no other expression that irks me more. People around me use it all too often, and most of the time *without* thinking. What makes people say that? I feel that we are all perfectly capable of doing anything and everything that comes over way. We may…

The eternal need to be pampered

No matter how old we grow, how mature we get, how many greys we have in our hair, there is small kid inside us who needs attention, care, love and pampering. I would go much further to declare that we, adults, need it more often, more badly than kids.   Kids have a different world….

Perpetually Tentative

Tentative, this is exactly what our lives are. Don’t get me wrong. We all love to plan, down the most granular level item. We plan. Although, our planning has also become tentative. Being a programmer, I feel that my mind is also planning in a if-then-else, for-each, do-while manner. If this happens, then I will…

Surrounded by a curse

Yep, it’s one of those days. This line has been in my mind for about 3 months now. But I’ve gotten so busy that even talking to myself seems a luxury. Look at the posts in this folder. Last one of 31Dec2015. Not able to sleep, not able to breathe. Not able to sleep, not…
