What a start... or is it?

The agony of creation always starts with a disaster. Again, expressed in the limited knowledge that I possess. I most humbly was to submit in my first post the reason I don't indulge in the pleasurable experience of writing.

A well crafted (or so I thought) post was ready to be inflicted maybe on the world. Almost done and it failed to get saved. Entire work lost with an excruciating ease of a person dying in a second with no apparent reason. Now I don't want to relive the pain by elaborating on the matter of the post or recounting the large blog that I had created about how and what of my state of being.

So regretfully... I submit; what happened simply best describes my dilemma, confusion and also my tryst with writing. Keep looking for this space if at all words do flow out through a very narrow channel that is my 'mind-hand-platform' course. And of course, the cruel affair that is the scheme of things that matter to get it to the world.

Very sorry...

Coffee Guy and His Meant-to-Be

Multitudes are ablaze inside as I navigate the day. The song and dance of the frenzied emotions which take on the veil of calm & ease is extraordinarily stifling. The body shrivels, launches into a fit of despair and yet what the world sees is a happy individual at work with collected poise. Carrying this commotion-filled body in deceitful exterior in a relatively less chaotic weekend traffic, the holiday sees us in a café. No sooner do we reach, than my sister is already into the laptop, while I open my book casually soaking in the atmosphere. I note a couple settling down; one diagonally in front of me while a girl sitting behind me, next-but-one table. The day is still young for the coffee shop to begin its fast chores. The blank gossip emanating from the couple's table is too blunt to affect any interest, so I too dive into my book as my sister was already in her work which is when things started happening. Enter this guy, who completes the couple behind me and as one mig

In-Person Stories (Part - Whichever I Recollect)

I wanted to publish a detailed account of a dear friend's wedding. So I copiously took some notes while going through the revelries, being very much a part of them. Or so my concerned friend thought! But those painstakingly gathered observations got lost with time, people and life. Majorly disappointed, I thought of giving up on writing this self-anticipated account of a much awaited event in our little lives. I never thought my straight friend would be considerate enough to take a partner. Not that he was a misogynist or a misogamist. On the contrary he has gone out of his way to make women feel at ease, whenever he came across one. In casual parlance, he sucked up to people (read girls), especially if he ever got to know one. Even to the discomfort of his friends like me. He had attended the most number of family marriage functions as the rest of us put together and does so still, dutifully. Although he was, as they say, never 'matrimonially inclined.' But some trickery,

No New Post!

No new post is worthy of being posted. They warned me of this. Writing, especially for the sake of writing is bad choice. But, I went ahead anyway. "How much of a flimsy idiot are you?" I stay transfixed. I have no reply to the following. What stuns me is not the argument they put forth, but the lack of answer/reply on my part. I know there is a reply in me somewhere. A good one. But it doesn't surface. Why am I writing a post? Who cares? Even if they do, how does it matter? In fact, I have been sloppy with my writing many a times, so why wouldn't anybody else be with their reading? That too, when they might not even be readers. "Now, let us explain", explained these friends. "If someone does open the link to your post (assuming someone actually does!), they will see the length of the post. Length might be a good thing, but definitely not in this case. A glance at the page is motivation enough to move ahead to a different picture, the next video
