About


I am just another part of the world. Pick any guy or girl you want and it's me. Even my writing doesn’t separate me from anyone else. I write as simple as it could get. Some words from the people I talk to, some experiences that I have gone through and some simple thoughts that strike every now and then. I have an influence of American English and like to write in that language only. Surely, British English is something that I have learnt in school but my work takes me the other way.


I write for a living, love reading and adore traveling. I am highly possessive about my things but gradually learning to let go. Impatient, impulsive, stubborn and have zero tolerance for nonsense.


I love coffees, almost all types of roast, especially black coffee. Love to read in other languages too. I believe languages don’t have religions; they have originated from regions and not religions. Like any other form of art, language can help you connect (apart from the basic communication part of course). I think every language teaches us almost same things but to understand a language completely, even one lifetime is short. Coz language can be written in books but are actually found on streets and houses. Every region has its own dialect, accent, vocabulary but each one is as enriched as the other. Be it some tribal language, some Egyptian signs or the contemporary ones, all are equally beautiful and elegant. I wish I could learn them all.


Well about this blog, I am not trying to establish that I am a writer with some talent. No, I am not. I just scribble things that have happened around or that I see. Girl in Red and Guy in Black is something that I just wrote for fun one day. As they say, fiction is a lighter way of showing reality. I also upload other things here. It’s all random, whatever comes in mind I just upload it. Just want that little place in your life. Even if you like one of the posts, I’ll feel blessed.

Worth a read.........

A lot of traveling and which means a lot of reading too. I made it a point to write about a lot of things in this time but ended up sitting idle looking at the ever-changing landscape and reading whatever I can get. I feel empty, there’s absolutely no urge to write so I’ll rather share two things from a book. The first excerpt is a list by the character Javits; a list of what society thinks is normal and anything outside it, makes people uncomfortable and threatened.   What normality means in this world? 1) Anything that makes us forget our true identity and our dreams and makes us only work to produce and reproduce. 2) Making rules for a war. 3) Spending years at university and to find a job. 4) Working from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon at something that does not give us the least pleasure, so that we can retire after 30 years. 5) Retiring only to discover that we have no more energy to enjoy life, and then dying of boredom after a few years

मेरी कहानी बिखर गयी

खोले डाइयरी के कुछ पुराने पन्ने अभी और मेरी कहानी बिखर गयी कुछ सपने गिरे कवर के छेद से जैसे रिहा हुए हों क़ैद से मिली लाश कुछ वादों की वहाँ ना जाने कब किए थे खुदसे और कहाँ कुछ पन्नो बाद वो बे-अदब ‘मैं’ भी निकला ना डर था जिससे और ना कोई परवाह बे-अदब ‘मैं’ मुझसे पूछता है ये यहाँ एक अजीब सा शोर क्यूँ है तेरी सोच में आगे निकालने की होड़ क्यूँ है ये क्या तेरी आम सी ज़िंदगी है ये कौन है तू ये क्या बन गया है तू समझ ए बे-अदब नासमझ है इसीलिए तो हराम है तू दुनिए के कितने कायदों से अंजान है तू कुछ सलीखा सीख ले जीने का अब तो नुस्खे ले कामयाबी के अब तो किन कायदों की बात करता है तू किन वादों की बात करता है तू देख खुद को आईनो मे कभी क्या था और क्या है अब तू सुन ओ क़ायदे पढ़ने वाले सुन ओ सलीखे सिखाने वाले तू कोई मसखरा तो नहीँ क्योंकि तू ‘मैं’ तो नहीं हो सकता कहाँ गयी है मेरी वो बेपरवाही कहाँ है मेरा वो… 'ठा से' चुप करवाया फिर उसे कवर, पन्नो और ड्रॉयर में दबाया फिर उसे बंद किए डाइयरी के कुछ पुराने पन्ने अभी और मेरी कहानी दफ़्न हुई

Girl in Red and Guy in Black XI

What should   I write   that has not been written? What should   I say   that has not been said? Should I say   that that I love you without any limits? Or   should I say   that I’ll be with you as long as this life permits? What should   I promise   that has not been promised? Should   I swear   to hold you like this forever? Or should   I cross my heart   to leave you never? What should   I bring   you that has never been brought? Do   you wish   for those classic moons and stars? Or do   you want   me to win those brutal wars? But   as always , the truth is still the same As always , I am still talking to your name As always , I don’t know what feelings to frame As always , I have a destiny to blame What can   I do   to make this note travel? Can   I shout   in a voice that could possibly touch your heart? Or can   I ask   the winds to play my part? Perhaps, a postal stamp will str
