Vicinity

Watching us over, as a mother whose watchful eyes tell us stories of sin, redemption and sanity. I am around, so are you.

nearer to you..

I kind of like the setting sun, goes down but not without achieving the nods and dangling a glimpse of the promise it holds for the next day. Life, learn. Days and nights.

Your open eyes is my moist yolk, Your sleep is the deepest wait of my life. I wait, I wait, just waiting is my job in hand, You open your eyes, and life redeems me. Inside the womb, your kick was a myth, You came out and your slimy smile makes me go bonkers. YouContinue reading “when bliss is around”

A Father’s Note

Holding your just born son in your hands is a feeling beyond describable words. For a change, I have run out of ammunition as the newly born has swept me off my feet and I don’t feel the earth beneath me. The moments when we saw each other – yes, you can argue thatContinue reading “A Father’s Note”

juggernaut

My beast isn’t my kind though.

traffic

There’s always this buzz about New York, London, Mumbai. Quietly, Calcutta figures amongst the noisiest and one of the most populous ones. Not revered but neither forgotten. Intrigued but not astonished, I have not seen vehicular traffic in Calcutta getting diminished by the travesties our trans-infra change. With some overwhelming overdrives that have graced theContinue reading “traffic”

daunting is life

Man with all his capacity and victorious zeal, is found susceptible at the gamut of endings. Skill remains unwanted, money is relinquished in the wake of the alarm that steals the thunder, Forget what’s there, find a way to live. Busy in our selfish encore, a sudden thud reminds us to be human. When allContinue reading “daunting is life”

Blockbuster Review: Wazir (Hindi)

Vidhu Vinod Chopra hasn’t directed for a while now, his last release was Eklavya (hush hush, lets not talk about Broken Horses here). I haven’t watched Bejoy Nambiar’s ‘David’ though word of mouth was encouraging. Abhijiat Joshi is our ‘3 idiots and PK’ pen master, hence his involvement does invoke restless expectations. To top it,Continue reading “Blockbuster Review: Wazir (Hindi)”

25, Park Street

The walk from Ballygunge Circular road to Park Street would be a shade under 20 minutes, 15 if you are in a breezy mood and walk like fire. LaMartiniere, The Kookie Jar, Hallmark, AGC were my witnesses while I gallantly strode towards my educative influences. Well, that was around 18 years back. But, the charmContinue reading “25, Park Street”

the 2015 that was..

Technically, we are still there. So hold on, but then, for how long? Its been a while since we keep talking about what went wrong, what didn’t go well, how people deceived you, how nature’s wrath upon you was so unwarranted, why your employer doesn’t pay you well, why the world has turned so cruel..Continue reading “the 2015 that was..”
