The Real Fiction

All that we experience, our perceptions – sights & insights – seem like a surreal mix of fact and fantasy. There are no lines dividing anything anywhere & existence rides upon interpretations. This blog will surf, fly, jog, dive, swim, jump & at times even hobble through planes of experiences that will include poetry, protests, design, tales, photo-tales and whatever else is discovered & needs to be shared.

It always happens when the mind wants it to happen!

It always happens when the mind wants it to happen!

There was a distinctive tinkle and I knew that my phone was ringing. I took the phone out of my pocket and paused for a while before allowing my index finger to swipe and let the caller in. Strange that I actually paused… it was probably a signal to warn me from taking that call…...

S-Fun is… funADs on the move!

She explained to me what wild nights really mean… one sultry afternoon in Connaught Place. I had a short and a rather revealing conversation with a teenage friend of mine as I sat munching my favourite Tuna Sub in CP. ‘Why do you guys say all the time that you’re having fun,’ I asked, ‘...
I’m bikers not a gengster!

I’m bikers not a gengster!

I scoured the net to try and see if my search could give me a precise definition of a biker. I found not one but many tweets that hand-held me and lead me right to the centre of a biker’s mind and life. In fact, it is the text of one of these tweets that...

It had always been me and my bike and then one day it suddenly became my wife, our bike and I! I called her Specky… ah! No, not the bike, I mean my wife. The bike had no name but we loved it anyway. Specky gave bike riding a totally new meaning because she sat...

Trip: Jhansi – Babina. January 2011 Since my childhood I had been hearing a lot of stories of my father’s stay in Babina. This is a small town near Jhansi and is a major cantonment with a fair sprinkling of the Armoured Corps. I know this because I had a lot of friends in school...
Ravan inspires!

Ravan inspires!

Families are always a strange band of characters and can come up with the most surprising results whenever they sit and work together. I still remember what we did on the 6th of October in 2011. What do I do with my Ravan? When I asked a philosopher ‘What do I do with my Ravan?’...
My most beautiful thing

My most beautiful thing

I let the words ‘my most beautiful thing’ be there within me for the night and even as I slept, the subconscious worked in its own strange way and kept on searching answers for me. The first thing that happened in the morning was a short silent discussion with my brain… ‘Well,’ I asked a...
Tech blogging and the cult of copying!

Tech blogging and the cult of copying!

I was telling a friend about the need to find your own expression when it comes to writing when the discussion took a sudden turn towards a rather unexpected aspect though I wouldn’t call it entirely bizarre. ‘You can be comfortable with only your style of writing,’ I said, ‘and this comes only when you...

These words must change!

Every chess player knows what is meant by the ‘power of four’… a domination of the four central squares on the chess board means you’ve managed to eke out a benefit that can very well go on to become the reason for your victory. If this can happen in a mere game it can be...
The lighthouse on North Bay island on a twenty rupee note

The lighthouse on North Bay island on a twenty rupee note

We had taken a local ferry from Chatham Jetty in Port Blair and reached the huge island just across… this was Bamboo Flat. The island seemed like a sleepy village where even shop shutters were opened when the owner saw a customer walking with some resolute intent to buy. Our island visit began in a...

UFO in Kasauli

Incredible moments come unannounced. Always. Like they did on a fine August day last year as we were getting ready to drive back to Chandigarh. The moments were surreal, and simply out of this world. Those incredible moments came rushing in at us through a large gaping hole in the sky. But wait… we’ll get...
