Love is

This is not about the Brian McKinight / Vanessa Williams song that came out when I was running around in that ridiculous box-pleated contraption called a school uniform. Nor is it about the current blog drama going on. As pissed off as I am about it, I think it’s time to get back to the [...]

Invictus

This one’s not quite for me. It’s just something that my best friend (that Marzipan coated one) believed in with all her soul since she was 17. I read it from time to time and realize how much I’m evolving into it, as dramatic as the words are. In case you’ve never read it before, [...]

Let us confess…

 

Ever read Patrick Fernando’s poignant and aptly worded poem titled “The Fisherman Mourned by his Wife?” It’s one of those pieces that I have always been extremely fond of because of its realistic look at Sri Lankan marriage and relationships.

Here’s the deal, a friend of mine recently said that [...]

That 30’s List

I know I was grumbling about a month ago that I needed to make up a list of things I wanted to do before I turned 30. I stopped stressing about it for a while and got on with other things. But that little nagging thought at the back of my mind that time was [...]

Dear Blogosphere…

In relation to the latest drama on kottu, I thought I’d add my 2 cents worth. 
Did anyone watch Merlin? The one with Sam Neil playing the title character? The whole thing was based on the concept of the old ways ending and a new, Christian era coming into reign. The old ways, as they were, [...]

The Girl in the Mirror

I looked at myself today. Really looked. Stripped of all the artificial vices that we take for granted as part of ourselves, the picture is so very different. When you begin to see beyond the face, even beyond the unsure expression you give yourself at times like these, you begin to see things that you [...]
