When Life Gives You Lemons

Become water. — Literally. Nothing is that simple I know. It always seems easier said than done. But I say after doing so. Using the power of imagination might be one of the most effective tools to help oneself during times of crisis. Now I’d rather not say some spiritual mumbo jumbo that…

Needs

Clothes and clutching. I have not known the human body but I have done a lot of cloth-clutching. The clothes belong to somebody and I don’t. I am one thread and there are many stitched together. I am not stitched into the fabric of the world. ‘What do I do?’…

The Only Man on Earth

He craved a sense of meaning that life so fundamentally lacked so every room he entered. He wanted to bring that meaning in people’s lives. He wanted to be at the center of attention. Sometimes, he wished that a camera-man would follow everywhere he went, record his every expression and…

Munda Labna

It was another night of being the jester. The girls around her laughed at her, tears spilling from their eyes, their guts clenching and jaws hurting, it was a moment of fulfilment. How easy it was for her to make people laugh, specially the women around her. Girls loved to…

My Love Language is Abuse — It’s Okay, that’s Love!

Prove your love! Do something, anything. Anything I say. If you love, you do not hesitate. If you love, you do not second guess. If you love, you lay down like a puppet. If you love, you stay limp, you let me go over. If you love, you let me…

The Certain Fall

Nevertheless, it had filled me with hope. I was a child. I was sixteen again. I was sixteen over and over again. One hot summer noon had shrivelled up all the roses. They were good enough to pluck and put in my diary. …

The Frightening Ordinary

She sits with the hideous gremlin who only grows larger with time. Soon, the gremlin is larger than her. They stare in the mirror all the time but refuse to look each other in the eye. She’s afraid that she’s become the gremlin now, with pointy ears and yellowish-teeth. “It’s…

Hypomania and Pipe Dreams

You truly haven’t been alive until it’s 2 a:m midnight and you’re waiting for the moon to turn blue just for you. And when you’re young and wild, it is not that far from reality. I paint what I remember as the last painting I ever made, struggling against the…

The Face of Another

Who am I? I look at the face of another to find my answer. I come to this world and find there’s a constitution that binds me, there is an unwritten moral code we all follow and many written scriptures that are sacred. I look in the eyes of my…

I Witnessed a Murder

I was the victim, I was the murderer. — Not all murder stories are dramatic. Some are instant. Some are gradual and insidious. Some are trivial. Not all murders are accounted for. Some pass away by our eyes each day but we don’t even bat an eyelash. What is a murder anyway? If we weren’t so obsessed with euphemisms…
