“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.” ― Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi All along... all through the teen crushes, through the short love stories, through the long ones, Through the rains, through the dry winds,...

You won’t always find back what you leave behind!
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ― Rumi Thank You Rumi! And we go along enduring wounds just in the hope of light Those glances, that tear, your soul and heart alike, The face that's sheer, That pledge and the prayer, Call her love, call her back That wistful smile that makes you...

Summer Murmur
Summer is healing! It's warm and at times scorching, almost like an unlimited, free, over-active sauna. Completely unassuming and honest, it comes like a brazen truth; ready to scald the unprepared. We got our first desert cooler when I was 3. My sister was born in June and needed to be kept cool.. For years after,... Continue Reading →

From the Grainy to Quaintly quiet bordering ‘Empty’ mindspace
While driving from home to work, I got stumped by this realisation that my feelings in the same situations have had a sea change over the last 1 year. Suddenly I didn't mind people randomly honking, overtaking, staring, spitting, changing lanes or anything. There was this sudden attention shift to the inaudible music in my... Continue Reading →
