I don’t know why 3 A.Ms remind me of your joyously sinful laughter. I don’t know why my heartbeat plays itself into a painful orchestra of ecstasy and agony, every time I see fingers like yours gripping a car steering the way your graceful ones did. I do not know why I still look up… Read More The Silence Of Your Eyes
I am ‘She’. ‘She’ who no one dreams to be. ’She’ no one talks about. ‘She’ no one wants to know about. ‘She’ who lives amongst all of you, known by all of you, yet has no name in the society except the ones chosen to humiliate me. I am Chameli, Sheila, Munni, all that… Read More She

This time the object was something dark and strangely heavy. He knew his jaw was now big enough to hide something that small very easily. Wired with excitement,… Read More Every Dog Has Its Day
In the end, religion is what you choose to believe in. It isn’t what you have practiced since you could pray. Religion isn’t brothers killing brothers. It isn’t men going off to kill men in riots. It isn’t women waiting for the cold, dead bodies or children growing up as orphans, with anger and hatred… Read More What Religion Is Not
It was 4:00 PM that Thursday evening when Mary-Lisa sat down with her pen and paper. The boy next door had arranged for an envelope and stamps and had also offered to post her letter the next morning. There lay the task of putting to words all that had happened in the last 3 months… Read More The December Of My Loving
A cliff so high, you could touch the sun if you stood on your toes and stretched your hands, your back, and your neck too, a little perhaps?
