Secret


Everyday

Someone I met recently told me that I am very open on this blog. I smiled to myself. What else should I be? I have no reason to cloak my beautiful, pitiful self in the shallow praise of social media. So, what can I tell you as a secret that I haven’t already revealed on […]

This Year Was…


Everyday

When I look  back at 2017, I am struck by the sheer beauty of it. This year was a kaleidoscope of jagged edges – shards of glass and pain- and beautiful, shimmering pearls of sunshine and love. I thought that I would reach a certain point in my life at the end of this year. […]

You can’t see it in that picture. But can you? Look closer. Look closely and you will send one dot of light. That was the sparkle from one little star on the most starry night I have seen in a long while. My friends and I were camping in Nachikuppam, a little village near Krishnagiri […]

Ten Years Ago


Everyday

I don’t really keep a journal. This blog is all I have. So, when this prompt came up, I didn’t know what to do because I keep giving my memories away to those who are ready to receive them. What can I remember of 10 years ago? I turned to Gmail. And slowly, the mails […]
