I have faint memories of my childhood in Uttarkashi. I remember the sheep on the pine covered slopes across our bungalow. At night, the sound of the Bhagirathi. A gentle roar.

That tiny spark of rage inside me.. seemingly innocuous.. I could have alleviated it by sprinkling some wise & peaceful thoughts over it. But I chose to ignore. It grew into a wild fire. Ouch.. It burnt a part of me and started spreading to other people around me. It burnt them too. It didn't... Continue Reading →
Floating in the air buoyed by a gigantic rainbow colored parachute, I could feel the infinite ocean. The thrust of the wind kept me high. I could see him in the speedboat waving at me. Thrill of being in the air! How does it feel like ? A bird without wings. Slowly I was drifting... Continue Reading →
