Last night the cord snapped. Severing all ties with myself. Those gospel truths that I held close to my heart are no more, unless I take a step forward and begin to acknowledge what that piece of broken thread falling off my ankle means.
The beginning of my many adventures to Unawatuna started last year, [...]

For my wedding…
Posted in Poetic License, Relationships, Resolutions, tagged Believing, Dante, Love, Marriage, Possibilities on June 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Something made me remember promises I made to myself a long, long time ago (maybe even in a galaxy far, far away) and it reawakened my belief in the possibility of love. You know, the kind that lasts. I’m, at this point where I am coming to terms with the fact that there may not [...]
Contentment is Death

A little boy told me once that there’s always one sandwich missing in a sandwich basket. Apparently it was his philosophy in life. I laughed at the time. But as I began to get older I realized that truer words were never spoken. He had the most original way of telling me that nothing in [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Weather Girl

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Tonight, Tonight!

The Smashing Pumpkins said “believe in the resolute urgency of now” and as if to contradict themselves, they also said “the more you change the less you feel”
I think both those statements just about sums up the last 2 weeks of my life. The last 2 weeks in which I have not been in contact [...]
