By this river – Brian Eno
On the recommendation of a friend, I listened to this song, ‘By this river’ by Brian Eno. I found it just too beautiful to be expressed in words.
Here’s the lyrics:
Here we are stuck by this river
You and I underneath a sky
Thats ever falling down down down
Ever falling down
Through the day as if on an ocean
Waiting here [...]

Yesterday night, I switched on the television half heartedly expecting all channels going ga-ga over the Harbhajan-Symonds hearing which resulted in a damp fizz. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find CNN-IBN showing something different. It was the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year 2007 Award ceremony. Boy, it was an event to watch. I had watched [...]

Holding the hose pipe in your hands watering the lower sides of the walls in a white porcelain tiled room isn’t much fun except maybe if the color of the fluid matches that of the porcelain. This is perhaps as profound as I can possibly get in my attempts to match the profundity of certain others. [...]

Eating my clone…
This article makes me want to do something. As an experiment. I want to eat my own clone now. It won’t be without adequate safeguards or the consent of the other me, but it’d be hard to check myself from going ahead if the consent was not given.
We’d be sitting there watching the pound of flesh getting [...]

Despite being a serious No(vak), he showed Jo the door, with style, panache and a gritty hospitality. Jo was good too, but endurance and perseverence mattered in the end in which he was found to be a shade more wanting. The initial burst soon gave way to a tiring double set but then he steamed up [...]

VS
Novak Djokovic vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Serbia vs France
No vs Jo
Who will win, that remains to be seen…
Guts on display in the game to play,
The tension mounting, pressure surmounting…
Who needs a winner though,
in this game of No and Jo!

Ever-lasting equality
The storm that razed by,
brought down the mighty and high,
The lowly were uplifted,
onto a higher level shifted.
The glaring unequality had resulted
in an ever lasting equality.

The Fear and the Loathing
I’d been putting this off for quite some time for now, but certain things just don’t let go of one however far one might drag them. They keep sticking to one, in a manner of speaking, faithful in a very unlikeable way. The fear they give rise to and the loathing that they manage to evoke [...]

It’s not just a letter…
Dear X,
Since the time I met you last night, I’ve been thinking of you all the time (well, except of course when I’m doing it, but I swear that’s the only time when I don’t. It demands a lot of concentration on my part and in that situation, it kind of jumps on to be the highest [...]

The Group
“Don’t you really like to be in the centre of it all…? All eyes fixed on you? Sort of a hero?”
“Well, you don’t believe me, do you?”
“Not really… come on, who wouldn’t like to be the focus of all eyes?”
“You know, I’d never been the centre of our group. If one were to make a movie of [...]
