Artistry

I fold a paper, spill ink and water on it, and fold it again. The pattern does not make sense. So, I take a gel pen and some pencils to embellish the pattern. My artistry looks good to me, and it is not half as complex as what this Rorschach fellow does. Maybe, he needs … Continue reading Artistry

Different Perspectives

I came across an interesting article on ghosts today, as if on cue from the universe. I have done a slightly different version of an Erasure poem.

Leaking goodwill

The Grartor party last year was akin to the Ashley Madison data leak. The organizers had laid down facts with proof on the tables, but remained invisible themselves. It led to a lot of speculation along with break-ups and heartburn. Who could be masterminding this? The guy I spurned in college, because he was too … Continue reading Leaking goodwill

Future

The media devotes more space to kinky behavior and displays of brute power, because ‘man bites dog’ is a story, not the reverse of it.
