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…

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….

My hobby

Today I was asked to write about my hobby (as part of my job). Initially, I felt I had no hobby and nothing to write, but then I came up with this. *** I am a lazy person. A super lazy person. In free time, I prefer to just lay down, close my eyes and…

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…
