The Long awaited trek begins (19 Dec 2016) At the Bangalore airport… slowly recovering from a stress attack after realizing that I had forgotten my jackets–not one but two of the out layers that are supposed to keep me warm during the cold Himalayan trek. After an hour of fighting and struggling with stress chemicals, […]
A memorable trek to Nandi Hills
Wanderer and the dance of zero gravity
I somehow managed to move away from that spot. It felt as if someone was pulling me away by my hand and I kept staring at Radha. Like a child mesmerized in front of a Candy store and his mother dragging him to move. But here there was no one. Still I felt as I […]
Landour moorings!
The wild deodars, for ages, stand, the night and few twinkling stars, One heart, one sight, the lights below in the valley’s lap, Seem like the sky n’earth, stand inverted, a simple thought, we all forgot, But hills, they bring forth, all, all that was once heightened in us.
I kept running, now I must pause, reflect, breath, return and live.
The future and my run. It is an inescapable relationship. Holds true for everyone, I suppose. Our current day miseries, love lost, dwindling sense of achievement, super imposed ego, craving for attention, fucked up idea of individuality, hiding from our true emotions and thoughts, teaching ourselves to be strong when in true sense we are […]
Thoughts upon those soaring peaks!
During my week long stay at Leh, I had numerous thought bubbles that I wished to capture. However, due to preoccupation with various important things that come up during a trip like that I could only pen down four such meandering bubbles.

The mirages and flashes from memories. The haunting waves of sounds. The unending and infinite darkness. The charred gates of possibilities. The mummified effigies of […]
Delhi comes alive, shines a glimmer of hope!
This write-up is not about the famous cricket world cup win. It is about how my city responded to the win. It is about how the response to the win delivers an underlying hope that the city is not lost to callousness. I along with my friends decided to move towards India Gate after the […]
Emotional poverty: the phantom issue
We constantly hear people, politicians, intellectual-jerk-offs, diplomats, students et all, talking about poverty in our country. While all of them talk about economic poverty, seldom does anyone pay attention to the emotional poverty our country is saddled with. For a country with a billion strong, emotional deprivation and poverty is far more a serious issue […]
Random thought or a greater meaning?
Ever since some sense got instilled into my mind, I have always believed that there is a greater purpose to our existence. Something larger than what we are able to see through the fog of everyday mundane, hustle-bustle, stress, anticipation, eagerness, highs and lows. A greater meaning to life—something that has remained unchanged like a […]
