First time in market

(Memories V2) First time in market… I don’t remember my age at that time, but I was very much a super-hero even then. It was also the time when I envied my friends who had got full-pants as their uniforms and curiously looked at my father driving his motorbike every evening. School was ‘the’ world of the [...]


Two sons

(People) And two fates.. In our childhood, the happiest among the lot would be those who didn’t study well. Only the end exams made the good guys smile.  The life stories of the two sons of a person I know is a similar tale.  The elder son had a sharp mind and very high ambitions; while the [...]

Very recently a controversy erupted after I wrote a piece about slaughtering of cows in Kerala. Some anonymous person posted [...]


Healthy

(Life)(People) Life turns – but keep the hold  To tell about her family’s previous state, I would only say that they were the only home with a TV set in the 80s and our muhalla full of children used to go to her house watching Mahabharat every Sunday morning. Back at that time, everything was nice, [...]


To call it coincidence?

India V2Y.W. Vs C.A. The train was late and I was stationed in the open waiting hall at CST, Mumbai, reading a book. I noticed a lady sitting besides me. She was of mother’s age, with a suitcase which she had possessively kept very near to her. She made some anxious phone calls, first in Hindi [...]
