How the Hell Do I Feel

Three sentences I hate hearing the most: 1. “I struggled when I grew up” – like everyone else in this world had an easy time growing up. 2. “I’m frustrated. I’m fed up with all this” – yes sir, you are the only person for whom things are not going well. 3. “You don’t know [...]

Incident: He just wouldn’t stop repeating it. I’m hearing him say it the 10th time in the last few minutes. ‘He hit me. Didn’t even listen to me. He hit me.’  Yeah, he got hit pretty bad. It took me a few mintues to gather courage and stop the one-sided fight. All I wanted to [...]

Of Anger: As a child, I always liked calm people. I would see a halo around their head and admire them. If there’s one thing I could not bear, it was people who would get angry and shout. ‘A man who can’t control his anger, cannot control anything in his life.’ Every time I made a [...]

I remember listening carefully to what he was saying. I observed very closely how his face reactions were and how he moved as he held everyone around him hooked!  Damn! I thought  to myself – when would I ever be so special? The next few years of school, I spent closely observing scores of people [...]

I  : Where the hell have you been all these days? Me  : Haha.. All over the place man! You won’t believe my stories… I  : The last I remember talking to you was a few months ago… Me  : Yeah! Things have become a little crazy and I’ve started to look at life in [...]

You can leave now’ ‘No, I’m not leaving until you let that innocent guy go. It was not his fault. Don’t [...]

You may not agree when I say that my place is a little weird, especially when it comes to weddings. Three years ago, I was just a kid at college who knew nothing about life and now? Everyone around me says it’s time to get married. Like hell, I’ve changed in these three years – [...]

Incident: I’ve been walking for almost 3km now. I keep looking back at every single noise of a vehicle with hopes that it’s an Auto. Yes! I need an auto now and I need to get back home soon. It’s already half past 8 and pretty late for office. A few minutes pass by… Finally, [...]

  The Move: I moved schools after 8th grade for two reasons – I couldn’t cope up with ICSE board syllabus and wanted to play cricket. This move was perhaps the most defining moment in my life and I attribute almost everything that I have today to the school I moved to – Stanes Higher Secondary School, [...]

Incident: I’m traveling in an auto to the Majestic terminal where I have a bus to catch for Hyderabad. I leave an hour and a half earlier just to cover a distance of 10km. Anyone who’s traveled in Bangalore would appreciate me for my foresight.    The Conversation Begins: It was all my fault. I [...]
