The Breakdown Chronicles Pt 1: I am good enough.

In most domains, I think I come across as confident, bubbly, positive and enthusiastic. And for the large part… I am. But it’s no secret that very few people are truly consistent with exactly what they showcase on the outside and like everyone else, I too fall into that category. Eight weeks away from my final examsContinue reading “The Breakdown Chronicles Pt 1: I am good enough.”

Where I am pt 2

I’m wary of how much I choose to share on this space. I know my posts have been so abstract recently, pertaining to particular individuals, lots of inside references, charming linguistic embellishment and shards of the deepest parts of loose thought (I’m doing it again, aren’t I? The abstract thing…). Maybe it’s because I’ve been in a bitContinue reading “Where I am pt 2”

Birthday thanks

I must admit that this is the most 23 I’ve ever felt.  I reckon there are some sure-fire signs of growing up and for me, one of them is certainly the lack of discrepancy between the age I feel and the age I am or am about to turn (though it’s an entirely subjective measure anyway).Continue reading “Birthday thanks”

Chameleons

Ok Viking. Exactly what part of you is it that gets kicks off turning up to my ends and feeding me salted peanuts and ‘something like Vailima?’ and then pissing off to assume responsibility elsewhere?! How very unfair. Guess you better start searching hard for that psychedelic Dutch field in which you’re going to make upContinue reading “Chameleons”

S.

It’s not often you worry about a friend dying. Sure… you worry you should’ve stayed in touch with someone more, perhaps attended their birthday party even though it meant taking a train somewhere or called them a little more often when you convinced yourself you were busy although ‘busy’ is feeble- but you never really worryContinue reading “S.”

I know you’re there.

I know you’re there. I don’t know what your name is and I don’t know what you look like, but sheer faith in my own intuition tells me that I will recognise you, in that impeccably timed moment that the universe thrusts you into my forcefield. You will breezily emulate every quality I dream ofContinue reading “I know you’re there.”

Contained contentment.

I have gone through so much pain this year. I’m confronting that after a very long time through that scope of hindsight as I look back on months glazed in the salty precipitation of old tears. The pain temporarily withered me down to a point where I no longer wished to think about it butContinue reading “Contained contentment.”

Where I am.

Hello blog. I know it has been an obscenely long time since any magical, colossal, creative explosions took place on this page and when I think about why that is, it’s really quite difficult to say. I almost couldn’t bear to write for a while. Some posts are minorly successful and the ego boost makesContinue reading “Where I am.”

Island musing.

To capture the essence of anything in words requires more than the mere ability to play around with them. That’s why I might just fail miserably as a writer of anything greater than whatever thoughts I fitfully spew onto this miniscule virtual space of mine. The posts that flow the most are those propelled byContinue reading “Island musing.”
