Life is strange. No, not the game, but like real life, the one you and I find ourselves in. It’s a see-saw, nay, a roller-coaster, and okay, you could call it a game, except you’re not the one with the controller. I was in India, not even a month ago, more like 23 days ago.… Continue reading Like a sunflower
“Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with… Continue reading The Whale and the Flower Pot
The stars twinkle. The waters gleam in the pale moonlight. The woods whisper, speaking in a tongue long forgotten by mankind. The hills in the distant stand severe, almost as if they were guarding these ancient lands. Amidst all this walks a lonely lady, almost unaware of the world around her. Her footfalls are heard by none.… Continue reading The lady
Me: Tell me the meaning of life. She: *Stares at me, not saying a word.* Me: I know that you know about it. You’re one of the few enlightened beings on this planet. I see you stare at the heavens above often-times and communicate with the stars. She: *Looks away, then continues to stare at me.* Me:… Continue reading Conversations
Imagine that you’re on a roller-coaster. Not a roller-coaster of life, but something a little more, sinister. It’s the kind of a ride where there is darkness around and yet there are moments of illumination. You’ve frankly no idea where you’re headed. You’ve gotten onto a roller-coaster, but where it will take you, is anybody’s… Continue reading The Roller-coaster ride.
Ok, pardon me readers( Is anyone out there?), for not updating this blog as regularly as I should. However, it’s 2012, so woohoo to a new year. It started with a bang(unlike the previous year) and keeps getting better and better as the days go by. Yes, it might indeed be a little early to comment… Continue reading One for 2012?
My cellphone’s battery has died. No, I cant charge it, I need a new battery. So go out and buy a new one, you say. I say, what’s the need. Now, before all you techno freaks and pseudo-realists decide to blow my brains out let me take you through my list of “Top 5 excuses… Continue reading Reasons to NOT get a new battery.
So what is going on in my mind right now? A lot, as usual. A million conflicting thoughts and emotions are dancing around. There’s doubt, there’s hope, there’s happiness, there’s sadness, there’s excitement, there’s guilt and a million other emotions, which my limited vocabulary prevents me from enunciating. Charles Dickens expressed the contradictions of states… Continue reading Befuddled Musings of One Chandni Prasad
We collegians are, in general, a bunch of overly excited people. Small things, tiny, inconsequential things are put up on a pedestal with a spotlight on them. Everywhere you go you are dogged by the same inane conversations. The college centre, the ladies recreational room, the library, the canteen and these days even the sporting… Continue reading College Bugger Fun
It’s been awhile since I visited the garden. Everything’s the same, I presume. After all, what could have changed in such a short while, one might ask. Plenty? Or maybe nothing at all?
