• Mumbai Diaries : Finding my walking place

  

  I finally found a place to walk- one where I can do so all year round without worrying about the rains or traffic or pot-holes or people! This means I am closer to feeling settled. For a person who loves walking and loves nature, finding this place is as good as attaining nirvana. Since, I…

• The last days of the battle – Indian Mythology

  

  I tried writing a story based on the Mahabharata. It’s from Drona’s point of view. Drona was the person who taught the cousins- Pandavas and Kauravas the use of weapons, archery and warfare. When the cousins decide to battle it out for property, honor and revenge, Guru Drona has to take sides and participate in…

• Mumbai Diaries: Scattered Thoughts

  

  I’m feeling a little stuck. While I continue to write and share my writing with the world, I’m not sure what next? I’m not sure where do I go from here? I’m feeling a little swamped. Maybe more than a little. The weather has nothing to do with how I feel. I’ve never been one…

• An attempt at story writing – Who Are You?

  

    The bell rang continuously without stopping. ‘Yay, dad’s back,’ Arvind shouted happily, running up to open the door. Dad had returned from another one of his office trips to the U.S. “Hi Dada,” Arvind’s plump arms wrapped around his father’s long legs. With a slight upturn of his lips which might be interpreted as…

• An attempt at story-writing – The Book…Chapter 1

  

  Getting into the window seat, Sonia snapped the seat belt around her. A seven hour flight to London.  “I hope the person who sits beside me is fun,” she mused. Looking out of the window, the craziness of the last few days tumbled before her eyes- dad rushing to get the certificates attested, the immigration…
