Hello everyone..! Ajji loved gardening. It was a very common sight to see her peering down at the pot of chrysanthemum and smiling to herself, almost as if she was proud of herself for moulding nature, or stressing about how the tomato plant wasn’t shooting up despite all her efforts. Now of course, I was … More Ajji..! (Part-5)
Hello everybody..! I’m surprised I remember the login details to my own WordPress account. I feel quite faint, trying to keep up with the current events in my life. By mid March, I will be done with my exams and I plan to devote more time to writing. Anyway, here’s a piece I wrote for … More Homosexuality and Homophobia..!
Hello everybody..! This post is kind of inspired by La La Land. Here’s to the fools who dream. Here’s to those who have their heads in the skies.

Hello everybody..! Yes. I still exist. I am alive and doing well (somewhat). It’s been so long since I’ve engaged myself in something called ‘blogging’ or ‘writing’. It hurts to think that I’ve repressed this constant voice in my head that kept prodding me to take a little time out of my day to write … More If We Were Having Coffee..!
Hello everybody. Wondering what the title means? In my mother tongue Kannada, Ajji means grandmother. About a month ago, my grandmother passed away due to cancer. Cancer. There was a time when I would flinch hearing this word.Not anymore. My grandmother’s suffering due to this disease has heightened my threshold to be surprised or frightened. … More Ajji
Hello everybody..! Over this summer, I have been doing a lot of (over)thinking. Currently, I am a science student, but after my intense brain storming in the summer, I have realised I have no real talent in science and I do not want to pursue it further. *cue horrified gasps of shell-shocked Indians*. I have … More Something Different..!
Hello everybody..! Embracing the inner Chandler in me, I’m going to use my humour as a self defence mechanism to cope with the conundrum that is my life right now. I do remember saying that I’d experiment with different types of comedy writing, but keeping with the theme of not doing anything that I promise, … More Funny..! (Well.. once more)
Hello everybody..! Here’s another post from me which I will shamelessly categorise as funny. How to survive a family function Get informed by your parents that a family function is coming up. Start a rebellion, refusing to attend it. Give (un)believable excuses like “Oh I have the most important Math test on that day” or … More Funny.!? (Yup, again)
Hello everybody..! I know I’ve been away for a while now. I’m sorry but I really have no explanation whatsoever. I will make a sincere effort to blog regularly henceforth. Anyway, here’s an open letter to the voice in my head. To That Voice in My Head.. It is a wee bit ironical that as … More An Open Letter..!
Hello everybody..! So I’ve been (not) very well these days. Summer is (not) great. I’m (not) so happy. Everything is (not) fine. There are a lot of things going on that I hadn’t expected to happen even in my craziest dreams (trust me, my dreams are way too crazy. I’m considering dream therapy).To be honest, … More Funny..! (Again.!?)
