Filler

I know that I said before that I would like to write more on this space, but so far I haven’t been keeping my promise very well huh have I. The thing is, the more I want to write, the harder it seems for me to really put thoughts into words. God knows how many […]

Two Dead Plants

I removed a dead plant from my room today. A month ago I threw away another dead plant which was a gift from a very good friend. Two dead plants in two months, what does that say about me? To put it simply, I’m exhausted. Between a day job, playing in two bands, a club […]

Light Bulbs

I’m so accustomed to dealing with people the way I want to be dealt with, that I sometimes forget that people are different. They have different expectations and different reactions as I do, and it catches me off guard when I end up being a disappointment rather than the considerate soul that I hope to […]

Unrelated Subtitles

Blogging Someone once told me people who blog are consciously or subconsciously an exhibitionist. The need to write and share all (un)important details of your (in)significant life and thoughts with the world is, when you think of it, not so different from flashing strangers on the streets. I don’t disagree with this. But I realise […]

Offsetting

The vulgarity of it all was intoxicating. Another swing and perhaps she will let go, another twirl and perhaps she will dive. It was like stringing marshmallows on a scorching rope. She was all set to cut the fine line with her burning tongue. The stroboscopic lights distracted her enough to feign gullibility. The clamorous […]

Not Per Se

I have a default feeling. I remember when I was younger, like 13 or 14, my default feeling was one of an intense red. I felt everything with a magnifying glass and most of the time I was on a natural high of delirium. And then there was 15 where my default feeling was dark. […]

Grey Area

I sit on the un-mended bench of my turquoise past and wonder if it was blue. Sometimes on a cluttered night like this the blurry heartache finds its way and creeps back into the familiar nook where it once nestled. I wonder about the people in my life now, I wonder about the people who […]

Behind the Scenes

I was reading some news about Obama, marvelling over his charm and confidence when a thought hit me – self confidence is not a nature. It is rather, nurtured. I don’t think a person’s self worth and confidence come naturally. Well, maybe some people have the natural ability to shine and strut across a room […]

Daily Walks

The immediate effect of too much partying is – you are never more convinced that you are growing old because you can’t remember what happened at all. The best thing that came out of the hedonistic escapades is I got an awesome toy giraffe. It dances and bounces its head to my command and I […]

And the Window Stays Open

i watch the crowd with a mild fascination familiarity is something i have yet to be familiar with i am dying for some form of input any form to reenact that tie that once bind us maybe if one of them starts cursing i will rejoice in wonderment i watch with eyes of a new […]

Heat Induced

You know what is weird? Privacy in this age. I have a private blog which i recently found out is not so private as I thought it is. After the initial shock and some mild irritation, i realised how pointless, naive and absurd it is – the idea of keeping things hush hush on a […]

Untouchable

She was oblivious to her surroundings. Maybe the rain was just a fiction of her imagination. She turns and swirls to the rhythm. The rhythm of her heartbeat. The sound only comprehensible, or maybe even not, to herself. She was smiling. No, she was laughing actually. It was the kind of laughter that exudes so […]
