http://smruthy.blogspot.com/2007/10/wonderland-interrupted.html
Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Wednesday, October 17, 2007. She walks in beauty. I noticed her at the Lakme Fashion Week and wondered how I could have forgotten she was going to be there. She has the characteristic stride of someone who has been doing this a while. I loved the way she held a pose and whipped around to walk back. But something had changed. She was quiet, she was naïve and she wasn’t the bright spark in the class. Peers can be cruel. For them, ...I was invit...

Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Monday, May 29, 2006. Pablo Neruda - Tonight I Can Write. No special meaning here , just one of the better declarations of regret i had seen in a while. i hope he really did love her. otherwise it would be just a waste. Pablo Neruda - Tonight I Can Write. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example, 'The night is starry. And the stars are blue and shiver in the distance. The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Another's...

Mindful Musings: Free yourself.
http://smruthy.blogspot.com/2010/03/free-yourself.html
Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Thursday, March 11, 2010. 2 months later today, I woke up still thinking of that conversation. Sure, some people have spectacular lives, untouched by disease death or poverty. But for the most part, nearly all of us have gone through or are going through our many shares of the blacking factory experience. And refuse to let go of it. Why oh why would someone willingly do this to themselves? There was a time when I held on to my grief and anger...

Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Thursday, September 28, 2006. Auf Wiedersehen. vielleicht. And yet there must be so many last times that a person goes through everyday, unknowing, without even being given the opportunity to say farewell, let go and perhaps grieve. A friend from school you never stayed in touch with, an uncle who you never really knew. So many of them. Several of them that you haven’t even realized to date. 8220;mole”,. Knowing they wouldn’t be around ...

Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Wednesday, October 08, 2008. Tribulation Of An Arranged Marriage - The Men - 1. Bachelor No 1 aka The Miser-y of Glutton. This one was a hidden one. He’s a double I type from another city. Seemed erudite and well read and all the bells and whistles. After random chatting and emails, he decided to come to Bombay for a weekend to actually meet each other. That’s when the trouble began. Me: What’s the name of the hotel. Me: Do you have a number?

Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Thursday, August 23, 2007. My happy times and places and things and people. Simply put this together as i keep forgetting what they are. Will keep updating this one. The 3 o clock show at the planetarium. Worli Sea face in the monsoon. Chai and samosas for tea. Paani puri anywhere anytime. The crunch of snow under snow boots. Thick woolen socks on a winter evening. Filter coffee and Upma from Mani. The book beaches””. A full nights sleep.

Squatted down between the rows. Bomb them off the map.'. Horseflies buzzed, paused and stung. And the taste of strawberries. Turned thick and sour. Mary said slowly, 'I've got a fella Old enough to go. If anything should happen.'. The sky was high and blue. Two children laughed at. In the tall grass,. Links to this post.

Always been fond of writing i have, so i joined the bandwagon. Thursday, May 24, 2007. Man, the worst thing that can happen to a person is to grow up. For me, doomsday arrived the day I finished my education and I have yearned for it ever since. I did meet people outside college obviously. People at work, people I generally know, my roommates, workmates and so many more. But these were among my oldest closest friends. Still are. One I met on the second day of college. I complimented her milky pink na...
