seeing through I
sometimes, am just benevolent but retrospective about what would have gone through if I didn’t do what I did to be in the place where I am today. This is how it would look – a far cry with a twisted turn and lush landscapes.
the imperfect shot, almost.
Yes, was caught up in indigenous patents – significant and sometimes, not so much. But couldn’t resist this view – the packet loss sky, fluttering leaves out of the scattered haven, a hungry highway with bustling moves, the fading lights of a promising evening under the blue carpet. All yours, for today.
inner verses
Beneath waters, under it. Holy shrine and its ubiquitous errand of godly flavours. Look around, you don’t see nobody. Yes, you see yourself in a splatter of thoughts and grievances. Think, you aren’t here for the missed substance. You are here to attain the soul of immortals. Sanity, here I come and bestow upon you.Continue reading “inner verses”
filming and feeling real
Notting Hill is one of the most sublime and exuberant love stories of our times. Truly, isn’t it? Well, I watched it years back but watching it again and again isn’t a crime. Think about this, you falling in love with an actress who comes to purchase a book from the most boring book shopContinue reading “filming and feeling real”

Voice Unorthodox
He never possessed this classical, mellifluous aura of a playback singer, that others of his generation could pull of with aplomb.

He made a trademark out of his vocals that seldomContinue reading “Voice Unorthodox”

Keeping me alive and making me stand up.
Thumbs Up
When you have the ability and sustenance to prevail but you refuse to take that one single step, it’s called circumstantial reluctance. When you have all the dimes and pennies in this world, you vent for the riches. When you have the dollars and pounds, you miss your dimes. That is so human. When youContinue reading “Thumbs Up”
Best of Me
‘Am I the best’ is a question I often ask myself. Brutally, the answer is yes. Confidence, yes. Arrogance, no. Well, a bit of it actually. ‘Best’ is usually the most used and most abusively used word around. Gives you this feeling of anonymity in the vicinity of giants twittering around the epicenter. Yes, IContinue reading “Best of Me”
Neighbourhood Dhaba
The news of ‘The Dhaba’ in Ballygunge Phari closing down came as a shocker to us. I really felt an era has come to an end. We used to live in Ballygunge Circular Road in the 90s and we visited the Dhaba quite regularly. It was our favourite neighbourhood Dhaba. As kids, I remember pouncingContinue reading “Neighbourhood Dhaba”
Fan – I ain’t one
My apprehension turns in to an insomniac, ballistic version when I talk about SRK films. But ‘Fan’ is a different experience altogether. It brings together a gamut of emotions that sway across as I watched the film – the newcomer, the emerging star, the human being, the superstar, King Khan. Well, yes. Life does comeContinue reading “Fan – I ain’t one”
