“We don’t dream. We work. Dreams are for the rich.” I grew up listening to this, while toiling through the fields, cleaning the fish, even when I was taking too long a bath. If what my father says was true, then dreams are only for the people whose pipes and taps I fix. I hearContinue reading “Dazzle.”

The Love You Need.
For the longest time, I was not a great fan of dogs. I’d look at them fondly from afar but my canine knowledge was limited to “Hey, look at you!” and “Buh-bye!”.

Completed — 100 happy days.
And that my friends is the end of my 100 happy days pledge! Lots of memories, lots of struggles to find something happy in the day, hurried flashes of camera, getting out of bed half asleep after having forgotten to post the day’s happy picture, and penning some beautiful pieces on days like this and this! Oh and this too!Continue reading “Completed — 100 happy days.”

I am not sharing this because I have been phubbed (phone snubbed, for the unaware ones like me) by my younger cousins, almost avoided getting hit by people who’re busy looking into their phones and walking down the already narrow and half dug up footpaths of Calcutta, haveContinue reading “Look UP!”

On many levels, this is the writing process to me. It’s bending over a keyboard, lost in your own little world, only to raise your head and see the marvelous things you’re missing. It’s knowing you’d still choose to return to the places of your imagination even when confronted with…
World’s toughest job.
This one will surely well up your eyes. And go say thank you!

I’ve been meaning to write this for a really long time but something or the other delays it! Now, I can finally remove this from my drafts and put it on to the blog for all of you to savor. One of those days when I was checking how good Google (India) is, I randomly typed “howContinue reading “How Not To …?”
