NON FICTION: No One Understands You
It was a breezy night, and the calm winds frisked the trees that grew above the rooftop bar we were in. I was chilling with Len and Jerry, both who just finished their shifts at the turntables. A foreign talent—we’ll name him Russo—had since taken over the decks. I had somehow figured that the trials… — read more

NON FICTION: Just Do It
“Having a to-do list is like having a gyroscope to life. There’s a certain magic to committing your goals to paper.” I’ve liberally paraphrased that saying, but it’s been a while since I was knee-deep in Zig Ziglar, so don’t quote me on that. Some ten years back, I was young and naive, working in… — read more

NON FICTION: Riding The Waves Of Life
I was on a plane to China and my head dipped and rose to the promise of sleep. I had the best seats in the plane for that, as I’d booked a spot in the Quiet Zone to alleviate the fatigue of an overnight flight. I tottered the brinks of slumber before laughs screeched in the cabin.… — read more

UPDATES: My Myanmar Biking Story
I remember signing up for that Writers Bureau course when I was still dressing hair for a living. I spent years fantasising about having my byline in magazines, the wonder of reading feature articles and hoping to do something similar one day. I didn’t complete the course, but my dream remained. This morning I just realised… — read more

NON FICTION: Of Running—And Writing
Why am I doing this again? It was Monday, I’ve ran four kilometres, and finally approached home stretch. I know, five-kilometres is paltry by runners’ standards, but it’s more than enough roadwork to set my lungs on fire. Why? Just why? All for 300 calories? Who’s going to care anyway? I’m not even a decent runner. Why… — read more

WRITING PROMPT FICTION: Losing My Voice
FOREWORD: It’s time for another Reddit writing prompt: Your entire life, you’ve been followed by a voice only you can hear that constantly narrates everything you do and say. One day, the voice talks directly to you for the first time, and it has a warning for you. # It was there for as long… — read more

NON FICTION: What Goes Around
I love writing. It’s not so much the creation of words than the tactile feeling of production. I’ve bought mechanical keyboards not out of necessity, but just because they’re much nicer to type on. I’ve also lurked in bookshops, testing pens for hours at a time to find my favourite variant. I’m too cheap to… — read more

NON FICTION: The Japanese Sojourn (Part I)
Foreword: Apologies for the lack of posts. Got a lil’ worded-out and had to take a step back from storytelling. Writing is a surprisingly unconducive day-job for writers. But hey, here’s a story of my time in Japan! # I went through every possible scenario of my first steps in Japan while on my flight… — read more

POETRY: Unsaid words
I used to slip her little notes, In her closet, her bags, her pillows and clothes, “Surprise!” the words I’d begin to pen, “I love you. P.S: You’ve good taste in men.” She’d laugh at these small novelties, She loved the lil’ discoveries, “I’ll get you back one day,” she’d say, With a smile in… — read more
