Morose.This little discovery had been made the very first night they spent together.Unfortunately, it was on the wrong side of the saath pheras and atop a marital bed.So, they spent ...

| We met!! He's been in town for three weeks and we have met every weekend and almost met much more. At one level, the connection has deepened. My discovery is that he was and remains a friend. The kind who sees in me that, which others, perhaps, are not allowed to see. There were no undercurrents. No discomfort. It was brilliant, unusual- a gift.And...

| Birthday Blues | |
|
|
| I've always detested my birthday. I hate the feelings it invokes, the questions you are always asked- " How old are you", " What will you do", " Where are you going". and I detest the annual reminder of goals which remain unfilled and promises to myself I didn't keep. I feel powerless. Like I haven't managed to script the life I want. But this...

| I just had the most disconcerting conversation or perhaps disconcerting isn't the right way to describe it- conversations with this old friend always are. The story is old- we met when we were 16 , were in the same class. He dated - serially. I remained choosy. We became friends. The kind that spoke and heard things in each other that no one else ...

| Hiding When pain becomes too much to bear, It comes out in words. Searing, charred, soul blackened words. They spew involuntarily, poisonous and vitriolic, often laced with shame. Hiding doesn't help, Sleep doesn't aid, The monster under the bed finally has a face- And it is your own.
