Its been sometime since I have written. A possible explanation as provided by one of my Chinese friends is ‘You are Happy’. If i try to analyze this statement, well yeah i have been happy and hence did not really have the urge to write. I have been happy about a lot of things. I…

The Allure of Skin
Life has funny ways of proving us wrong. I had always considered myself a intelligent person. Rather i had considered myself a knowledgeable guy. Until i went outside India. At first i was at all a loss on what to do. Things just didnt seem to fall into place. Either i googled or read the…

Perfection cant be defined. It cant be understood. It cant be achieved possibly, was what i thought. You only have a sense of it. An inkling that this might be it. The Perfect Thing. The Perfect One. And all your life you keep on waiting for it. Until you give up, and settle for something…

Recently i had a bout of illness. The usual cold and cough, that affects 11/10 people i guess 😉 . But this one was special in its duration, and the kind of thoughts it inspired in me. I was in the usual eat-sleep-eat routine, but i did get some time to think on the whole…

I have been reading Coelho, Ayn Rand, Richard Bach. They appear to be very fulfilling spiritually, yet the questions still linger. Questions about God, Our life, Love and what god expects from us? and so on it goes. The fundamental axioms of life are things you have felt and yet don’t know why they are…

One thing common to most of the humanity, is the acceptance of Religion. I cant really say whether i am a devout religious man, but i guess i believe. I would put myself in Spiritual category so to say. But still the concept of God eluded me, until i read it somewhere. I had this…
