Although I’m told that Laos is an off the beaten path destination, flight QV 634 from Bangkok to Luang Prabang, features a disproportionate number and variety of foreigners from young backpackers and couples to retired seniors.

Thoughts on Writing, Yoga and Life. Laquo; Finding Freedom in Laos. Fight or Flight: Anxiety and My Adventures in Mental Health. The Road to Nong Khiaw. March 26, 2015 by msaraf. On the morning of my trip from Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw, I am running late, and in my haste to order breakfast, I do not think to specify that I want my egg hardboiled instead of soft. Unfortunately half of it ends up on my plate where it oozes greedily towards the cracked eggshell that I have piled in a corner. Before I ...

Thoughts on Writing, Yoga and Life. Laquo; Memories of the Big Move. December 10, 2014 by msaraf. Now and then I pace my place. I can’t retrace how I got here. I cheat the light to check my face. It’s slightly harder than last year. And all at once it gets hard to take. It gets hard to fake what I won’t be. Cause one of these days I’ll be born and raised. And it’s such a waste to grow up lonely. 8211; John Mayer, from Born and Raised. The only things I remember from any of those. Social Sciences at the F...

Thoughts on Writing, Yoga and Life. Laquo; Wanting It All. My Jaipur Auto Rickshaw Adventure. January 10, 2015 by msaraf. Last week, I made half my staff cry with this story (unintentionally of course) – an adaptation of something I wrote 6 years ago when my grandfather passed away. I guess some emotions stay buried, but as it is the 6th anniversary of his passing, I figured I would share it on here:. I was fortunate to grow up with him, and my fiery grandmother Bhabi. I’m not sure why we call them P...

Thoughts on Writing, Yoga and Life. Posts Tagged ‘Delhi’. Memories of the Big Move. Thoughts on Life and Writing. On November 20, 2014 3 Comments. The next morning was a strange one I did things I’d normally do on a day off: brunch, Shoppers Drugmart (I weep for all my unused Optimum points) and some last minute banking stuff. But by early afternoon I arrived at Toronto Pearson with exactly 46 kilograms of checked baggage, the maximum carryon allowance, and one very unhappy cat. Read Full Post ».

Thoughts on Writing, Yoga and Life. Archive for the ‘Personal’ Category. Posted in Creative Writing. On April 8, 2016 2 Comments. Questions, emotions, thoughts. Stew in the recesses of my mind. Bitter-tinged words rise from my heart. Up hoarse overworked vocal cords. Clawing their way to my tongue. I stop. I open my mouth. I swallow. Air gushing, throat clamped in protest. My heart, a disgruntled woodpecker. Hammering away, willing shallow breaths. It cannot win. I open my mouth. I exhale. Last week, I m...

Thoughts on Writing, Yoga and Life. Archive for the ‘India’ Category. My Jaipur Auto Rickshaw Adventure. On January 26, 2015 5 Comments. As I leave my last Jaipur Literature Festival event, I get a frantic phone call from my friend Shampa. We had come to the city together, along with her family and had split for the morning to pursue our respective interests. She tells me they are stuck in traffic and cannot come get me on the way back to Delhi. (more…). Read Full Post ». Thoughts on Life and Writing.
