Why does everything have to come with an ache attached to it? Just something that was on my mind. It just seems like that. Let’s just leave it there and move on to other things for the moment shall we? There are other things going on in my life too.
I’m flying to India tomorrow. Considering [...]

Last afternoon the ocean was frothing and foaming angrily at my feet. Seemingly angrier that she couldn’t reach higher and slap me across the face.
And so she gripped at my toes viciously, trying to pull me into her depths with her sandy fangs, drawing me in with the taste of blood.
Last evening the she sent [...]
Thank you Ms. Joplin

Now I know this wasn’t really an original of hers lyrically, but trust Janis Joplin to know just how to reflect my mood today.
Me & My Bobby McGee
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin’ for a train
When I’s feelin’ near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
It rode us all the way [...]
Before I’m 30…

Ok, I think it’s safe to say I established my present age in numerous posts before and see no need to continuously repeat it. But I with a friend on Monday night who asked me about the list in my head of what I wanted to do before I’m 30. Not things I wanted to [...]
The Fool’s Journey

So I woke up with Jason Mraz this morning. He was humming I’m Yours somewhere in my head. I sat up straight and grinned like an idiot. It’s Friday the 13th and I’m in an unusually good mood. That must count for something. Surely. For me to wake up on a normal day minus my [...]
The Little Drummer Boy

The lights are unusually dim on kottu today as RD makes his way to the entrance. He is about to click and enter the Sri Lankan blogsphere. Suddenly he pauses, his finger just shy of the key. Muffled giggles can be heard from somewhere beyond his screen. A sudden, loud ‘shhhhh’ is then heard, from [...]
To the end of the game!

I think it’s downright ridiculous to have to a play a damn game at my age. I’m not entirely over the hill at 29, but I am too old to have to partake in age-old rituals which I’ve long since considered to be entirely silly. People think I’m just faking the anti, simply because I [...]

Inspired after brilliant open mike night, my friend Buddhi’s performance and another on of WDR’s brilliantly worded posts… This is part of a huge initiative by the Times of India’s campaign called India Poised and I wanted to post one of the essential pieces of copy that made it such a huge success. This is [...]
