Emotionally Secure

I have watched three generations and envy sisters who can be 4 am friends for each other at any stage in life. I don’t have a sister, so I made a feeble attempt to connect with a cousin. I had to beat a quick retreat as our mindsets did not match. She would keep reiterating … Continue reading Emotionally Secure

Dance and Violence

The body is a song, each limb a verse, each motion a melody. Dance is the language through which we worship the physical.

I feel compelled to reflect deeper on things I’ve already known, experienced and discussed? Does it give fresh insights? Words dance to the beat of March madness, and assume different forms on the screen, in the head … Continue reading Pink Sakuras

Someone and Something

Nothingness. But no… There is Someone there who wants Something to be in place of nothing. Someone is intelligent, creative, and excellent at visualisation. It designs a Universe and executes it over some time. It creates MVPs (minimum viable products) and lets them multiply. They are gifted with imagination, and some theories about the beginning … Continue reading Someone and Something
