It was the last time that we were driving together to the beach. She had to catch a flight abroad on the next day, to pursue a course in photography. It meant separation. The path felt different. I felt trapped in my own life. Today is different, as I find my way to a yacht … Continue reading Sun N Shade
“Can junk inspire?” My artist husband smiled ruefully at seeing the new place we had shifted into. “Yeah, sure … if there is a story you can weave around it. Connect it to somebody’s life. Customize it to suit the audience. Recycle it several times over, and it should feel new every time. Use all … Continue reading Inspired

The King was happy with his performance for some time, but it rendered all the other courtiers useless. Certainly, … Continue reading Big Head
I wondered, or rather worried aloud why the train stopped between stations. It was a bomb scare. All rail movement on the tracks was brought to a halt till a detection squad arrived. The sniffer dog ran towards the suitcase, as if eager to meet a long-lost friend. He sniffed and sniffed, and moved all … Continue reading Worrying too much
