‘I’m a man who believed that I died twenty years ago and I live like a man who’s already dead.’
He believed he had died… a long time ago.
So, do I.

11th May, ‘08 - 0000 hours - This is the first time that I’m making an entry at 0000 hours of a day - a day that has just begun. GBS and Ms T are here, with two huge back-packs. I almost broke my arms carrying them up the stairs. My fears have come true. [...]

Hanged till death
And to my utter amazement and sheer disbelief I found that I’d been guilty of the same things. I had grown up to be exactly like those men who I despised as a child while growing up. That made me hate myself, like never before. I was devastated and disappointed. One of these days I’m going to [...]

The Baba is no more…
When I’d first posted about him little did I know that within a year he’d take leave of all of us. Baba Amte had been introduced to us in school in a certain class through the pages of our Hindi book, Bal Bharati. We’d read how he and his wife along with their sons had [...]

Shameful indeed!
It’s one thing to be lucky, quite another to be shamefully conscious of the existence of others who are not as so. Being a human after all, more or less, provides a natural excuse for the feeling of exhilaration that sweeps one when the axe falls on somebody else. The heart though sympathetic to the [...]

The Number - 23
‘Be sure that your sins will find you out.’
- Numbers 32:23, The King James Bible
As if being on the verge of insanity was not enough, I was given a gentle push further on in the ominous direction by this movie. And one of these days, one of the pushes is going to be a [...]

Oh, the shame of it all!
I’m going towards it again… they are back. Not the voices, but something else, darker, more sinister and more powerful. This drive towards insanity is driving me insane (no pun intended; any if found, is purely coincidental). I think I’m going mad and with greater speed and accuracy this time. Haven’t these two parameters been the most [...]

THE HOURS…
My last read was The Hours… And how wonderful have the hours been after that! Michael Cunningham is the new idol among others. I had that book since long, but was justifiably wary of taking it up. Virginia Woolf and I sure have something in common (not that I’m proud of it despite the high [...]
