Set to carve a waveI chose a sickleThe harsh metal cruel to touchGlinting in the razor sunThe mask eye of wisdom drawn Clasped I the sickleCurvaceous wood embers Slanting against withered skin The wave roseRose to the heights of the mind’s sky The sickle slashed the airSwooped down smiling at the endThe wave faltered trembledSkin […]
I am rehashing some old stuff I wrote here. Kinda appropriate considering my birthday is coming. The Big 30s! Here I come! Cut the cake, cut the cake, Chants hit the wall across An eternity of shame She didn’t know the words Didn’t know the tunes That wafted through a silly Mindless game. Somehow it […]
Image via WikipediaToday is Tuesday. I have vacillated from utter despair on Sunday to a slight relief on Monday, and now back to my nagging worries on Tuesday. I wrote a mail to Stathy asking her to write to Rohit and tell him thank you for creating a favicon. He was great in doing that […]

Ah, I have spent the last two weeks (has it been that long since I wrote here?) being ill. I have been afflicted with a strange bug that doctors have taken two tests to find out and now still require another third one before they find out what it is. So I wait. And now, […]
Mild sun. Low clouds. But no rain. The rains have stayed away today. Just a mild shower yesterday – promised to be a precursor to a mammoth storm but now again, as I write this, it’s raining again. But it’s been a good weekend so far – a little reading – right now I am […]
