Hi all! Just a quick post on behalf of RD (that dashing young lad from London) in case Gypsy hasn’t beaten me to it already. RD is in town as you know and would love to meet up with all of us. If you’re free this Friday night/evening, we’ll probably all meet at Barefoot I [...]

The apartment was signed for yesterday and my roomies (which include the lovely Lady Jade and a mutual friend who I will merely refer to as the statuesque beauty for now) and I are moving in on the 15th of September. All’s set to go. Of course this does make me feel like the older, [...]

I’m happily high & stoned in Una and the strangest thoughts are popping into my head. This is going to be posted on a sober working day, under completely different circumstances, so please be mindful of that. Please?
There’s a baby here in Una at the Happy Banana. Her name is Martha and I’ve fallen in [...]

Darth Maximus was. In my search for the 3 day weekend to find meaning in my life, it hits me late Friday night anyway. Let me tell you a story. A couple of years ago when my life was at its lowest point I just picked up the Sunday Observer and went through the classifieds I [...]
Why I didn’t make ‘em resolutions this year

When December rolled around, I made a promise to her and myself that I will turn things around for myself. That a new dawn will come and I will start anew. Be born again and rise from the ashes as I usually do when terrible things come my way. Of course unlike all the crappy [...]
How can I say goodbye?
Posted in A Family Affair, Poetic License, Questioning Life, tagged Goodbye on December 8, 2008 | 8 Comments »
when you leave I will die
the last few embers of life that I have been clinging onto
will be stomped out
by me
right after I try to not shout or scream
and throw myself at your feet

So mine turned sixteen this year and reading DQs post on turning 29, I’m reminded of the fact that its just a few months away for me too. I’d give anything to be in my sister’s shoes right now. She has her whole life to live, her whole youth to live, to be more precise. [...]
The Scarlet D

Remember the scarlet letter? You know A for adulteress and all. Sri Lanka seems to have a few of those all for themselves. One in particular that I have seen in effect. The scarlet D. We’re supposed to live by such arcanesocially acceptable behaviour in this country that people find it hard to really find [...]
