Eyes tell a tale
There is an old saying that says that the eyes are the windows to the soul. A man might be able to deceive his intentions by his body language, but the eyes hide nothing.  I was reading Khaled Hossenis novel, " The kite runner," where the protagnist, Amir a kindred soul interprets the not so noble intention of Assef, a half German half Pashtun by h... more...

Winter beckoning
Winter beckoning. The summer is past, the rains have come and gone, flooding the nullah's and the roads to its hearts content. It is that time of the year, when the sun is sharp, and sky is blue as blue can be. The heat and the moisture in the air combine to make life unbearable under the sun.  Out in the sun,  the shade is calm and cool. Cool as t... more...

It rained.
There are somethings in life that bring out the child in everybody. Those wonderful years when you were young and restless come back to you in bits and pieces. Of course you never remember the event in entirity, only little parts can be remembered. The rain drops hitting the skin feels the same, it was the same ages ago when I was in Chittaranjan. ... more...

A pot full of coins.
There were so many coins lying around that something had to finally give. There were coin's everywhere, in the bathroom, below the mattress, some had found their way below the sink. I dare say some had already found a place in my house owners pocket as well. The coins ruled the roost. The only place they were not to be found was inside my wallet.So... more...

low rise jeans and property valuation
I hate to admit, but it seems that I am slowly but surely turning into a bummer. Now I dont think that there is any such word in the english dictionary, so let me  make things easier for all and sundry. A bummer is a person who loves a derrire any time of the day. Many of you women would classify me along with the normal pervert, a social psycopath... more...

The journey back home
The more I travel the more I get to know myself. If given an opportunity I would readily exchange my unearthly work hours with a life of a nomad.Of course that is not possible, taking into consideration my financial status which is nothing to crow about. Maybe later, when I have some money in the bank I will take a year off and go train spotting. A... more...

To tell you honestly there is no fun in dragging your weary ass day in and day out to the office, I mean whats the fun in being the perfect employee.

something more about everybody
The best part of working at @#$ is that you get free rides home. After slogging throughout the day, eight hours of gravity defying and soul breaking work the only compensation you get is the ride back home. Ok, I do get the salary and bonuses and stuff but that comes only twelve times in a year. So you can understand that it is too less and too far... more...

The guy with the air guitar
     'Hey! The hoops look good on you where do you buy them', I couldn’t help asking her. The hoops danced mischievously, brown hoops the size of bangles. She even wore bangles of the same color. She nodded her head and asked,' why do you want to know'. Just asking, maybe I got a girlfriend hidden away somewhere'. She got several hoops. On Mondays ... more...

The Black Trumpet is often over looked by mushroom foragers in my neck of the woods.  It is easy to overlook these incredibly fragrant fungi because here on Cape Cod, they rarely grow large enough to make them worth hunting.  They are difficult to spot on the forest floor because their appearance so closely resembles brown, fallen leaves.  They are...  more...
