Welcome to My Daily Rant Blog
I love to listen back from readers who go through the blogs.
Longing to hear back from you.
Rant 293 : Deja vu
“so? Why should that stop you from applying for the new vacant position?”, lynn asked. “I am not really sure, I mean there is something that quite stops me from moving ahead. I don’t think there is a lot of thought behind that anyways.”, I replied. Lynn had been a close aide at work for…
Rant 292: The darker zone
There are instances that help you release the negative within you and then there are instances that push you further and deeper into negativity and isolation and silence. When I write instances, that combines people, situations, events and everything around. Such instances keep you out of your comfort zone and ensure you stay out. People…
Rant 291 : That’s not gonna happen
“..let me tell you one last thing. Irrespective of whatever goes around the moment I leave, I’m not and never going to mixup these two things. We couldn’t come together is defined by a logic and I can’t stop loving you, too, is defined by another logic. So never, ever try to push me into…
Rant 290 : What’s in the name?
“You there?” “?” Praveen waited for 10-15 second before he locked the phone and cross-folded my hands. The side seat of the bus was pushing in the cold air from the creeks of the window panes and it was getting nerve-wrecking chilled on the window seat. He waited for some time before falling asleep to…
Rant 289 : It really never subsides
“..and it really never subsides”, I wrote the last line of the blog and closed the blogsite. I don’t know why I thought writing was a perfect antidepressant. Writing thought-free, structureless, in it’s own flow and rigour, turns out to be different. Does it cure? No. What then? It provides you instant relief for some…
Rant 288 : Building a memorial
“Beautiful, isn’t it? Isn’t it so wonderfully designed that it kind of conveys nearly everything that happened on that unfortunate evening?”emm, I am not really sure. My idea of a memorial is one where in you look at something which has a direct resemblance to the person/place/object or time. You cannot have a new structure…
Rant 287 : The Perennial Night
“Are you pissed off with my long texts now?” Praveen asked, “No, why do you say so?” Nishita replied. “You haven’t been replying to so many of my messages. Feels like I am doing the talking alone. We can roll over if you’re sleepy.” “No no. It’s not that. I was thinking something”, she replied. …
Rant 286 : The dry bouquet
It was probably late evening that night and Praveen rushed up to the flower store and then over to the gift shop. He could barely sense a deep breath before he bumped in and entered the bus – 6A. Had he missed this bus, the only other option would have been an expensive cab. Somehow…
Rant 285 : Lo and Behold!
“..and then, when you grow that old, you will realise that you are no one and have zero control over anything around you. Whatever and however things run and happen, they all happen in their own way.” We sat around the dining and gazed at her 69 year old face. We were meeting her after…
Rant 284 : Who are you?
How do you coin a term for the first dream of the year?Or let’s put it across this way,How do you coin a term for the first person who rules your dream on the 1st sleep of the year? Till the time this keeps you guessing, I wish to share this weird thought that comes…
Rang 283: The addiction and the addict
“So, how many hours has it been? I see you are stuck to your smartphone since morning and it’s already 3 noon, how long will your laps last?” My sister taunted and moved on. I looked at the clock and saw the time. 2.53 pm. It was less than an hour for my next assignment…
Rant 282 : A letter to myself
To, Myself of 2020. Hang on! How is it there? Feels like kinda humid, doesn’t it? I know right, before I start sounding like a bully from the future to you, let me just tell you something a little warmer in this cold of 2020. Though this year would feel like the worst you have…
Rant 281: The crooked tree
I always mostly laughed upon people who were my parents age or a little younger than them, when I was a kid. I would have an entire class of students as an apparent close group of friends and there were these adults who would barely have 1 or 2 or atmost 3 people as their…
Rant 280 : Walk past your past
When you let life take its course and you calmly wait for life to bring things to you and then keep choosing and checking the best opportunities available. This is how you can look back and smile at your own life. Once a week, a month or thrice a year – the frequency depends upon…
Rant 279 : The Frozen Nostalgia
“there was this, wonderful thing with her – I mean, she would just look at the ceiling this way and …”, and he paused for around 10 seconds. We three kept looking at his silent face. His lips trying to bring his nostalgic drought to normalcy. His eyes trying to look for the spot she…
Rant 278 : Keep up and Survive
I often think that the world is a weird place. Weird enough to make you a creep. Weird enough to break and shatter your planes of trusts and faith. Weird enough to make you an anti-human. Now, anti-human is a big term – but there are reasons I say so. Your survival on this earth…
Rant 277 : The tomorrow is cruel
Every day is such a surprise. Big surprise. When one wakes up in the morning, little do we realize what kind of night is deemed to turn up. When we sleep through the night, our senses are unaware of whatever is going to come along the next dawn. Yesterdays seem obvious, while tomorrow is uncertain.…
Rant 276: This is difficult and so is life
When you keep hopping from one person to the other, from one place to the other, from one work to the other – you do gain a lot of experience – some bitter some sweet, but majorly those that you gain while trying to re-prove yourself. Every new situation, every new person, every new friend,…
Rant 275 : The fag end of the play
Dreams fade faster than they come up. Days, when you start realising that it’s time to pack up. The script is closing and your part in the play is coming to an end. There are mixed feelings-always. Firstly, a feeling of relaxation from the immense pressure you act under and secondly a feeling of remorse…
Rant 274 : Run, Gauge and Stop!
Life comes infront of us in all forms. Sometimes as funny as Chaplin, sometime a gruesome fighter, somedays as a superhero saving us from hurdles and someday with an expression whose judgement is difficult. Such situations come more often than we all desire for. The fun part is when the waters increase beyond perception, we…
Rant 273 : Have a good day?
“Have a good day dear” “Have a nice day” “Good day” “I wish you a great day ahead” Why do we wish “goodness” to people for their upcoming day/tenure? Whenever someone greets me for a good day, I do think for a second- though I never react over it. It is akin to gifting a…
Rant 272 : The world around you
Most of us voyage out of our homes at an early age – for education, for career or just for a better future. While we all move out, we leave a whole world behind us – the childhood world, the safe home, the surroundings and nearly everything nostalgic. When we end up at a new…
Rant 271 : What is it?
What is it? I remember from my childhood – instances wherein, I used to have light stomach ache and my parents would ask me, “what is it?”, “where is it that you feel the pain?” and most often I would locate some point on my little tummy and indicate the pain. My locations were not…
Rant 270 : Could vs Would
What would I be? Heard this question ever, from within? Or heard it in the form of what would you be, if not this? The very idea of imagining what “might” have been is always exciting and gives a respite from the mundane daily thoughts. It brings that degree of uncertainty within the thoughts…
Rant 269 : From finish to the next start line
Rush. More rush. Panic. Adrenaline. Even more rush. More adrenaline. Closure. Future Rush More plans for future rush …. What now? What does an athlete possibly think once they cross the finish line? To rest, to feel happy about it? “So what was your thought, as you crossed the line or more so, as you…
Rant 268 : Head in the ceiling fan goes rolling
It wasn’t that late, yet I was rushing back home. Peddling as fast as I could, I would have been cycling at approximately 18 kmph, which is quite some speed for a bike. I could barely feel my feet as they went rolling with the pedals in some strange harmonious manner. Felt as if they…
Rant 267 : The proxy stone
“Where are your friends these days?”, the priest asked the kid who stood like speedy motorbike stopped by a sturdy wall. “Their holidays are over”, he replied while he slipped away from the priests as if it was hazardous to stay there. These kids were quite known in the premises of the temple. Every day…
Rant 266 : The dilemma of the lama – 4
This is a continuation of the Rant 245 : The dilemma of the lama – 3. Read it at the below link. https://the11oclockdiary.home.blog/2020/03/29/rant-246-the-dilemma-of-the-lama-3/ It was the third day of the conference and Doc, climbed up the dais. As the crowd cheered and clapped, Doc took his position behind the mic. He moved his right hand…
Rant 265 : Do what you’re good at.
They said everyone was here for a role, they said everyone here had a purpose. What is it? Yes, there is a purpose – but who tells me what it is? Where do I go asking for it? A temple, a municipal office, the parliament or the UN? Who tells me my purpose? A doctor,…
Rant 264 : Facilitating the quitting
“Sir, can I please discontinue?” he said. He was taken back for a moment. It was just a month that he had started his training and his very first student was now turning away. Right after he asked this, Dr Sen was caught in a limbo. Should I ask the reason behind the decision? Should…
Rant 263 : The small bullet kills you
You can be anything in this world, but invincible. Life is not a one-way ladder, wherein you keep cruising ahead. It can go either ways. Life keeps throwing juggles time to time, to test us if we are at all in the league, where life wants us to be. While you might be handling and…
Rant 262 : One, two, three … zero!
“Hey, listen it wasn’t my fault, you’re clearly misunderstanding me.” “No, I am done with all this crap, you said what you had to say”, she blasted him on his face. His fingers nerved, he typed his reply rather hastily, “Listen, I can explain this to you, It was not what you thought it meant.…
Rant 261 : I am star!
I am a star. Yes, I am a star. A star you cannot afford. Life is not unfair, it’s just consequential – what you sow, so you reap. But sometimes, things from the adjacent house come towering over when you and that happens when the winds are terrible, when the sky is dark and when…
Rant 260 : It’s pretty to be silent
“Don’t shout this around, please. You know about it and that is fine for me now. No more publicity. Please”, I begged him while we walked towards the café. “Dude, isn’t this worth shouting and collecting people on? You’ve got a worthy job and I believe it is absolutely fine to let our peers know…
Rant 259 : Social Distancing
“Why do you keep doing this? Please don’t make it way more difficult now, I’ve already had enough”, she walked away after she was done speaking her heart out. There he stood, tongue in cheek and lost amidst whatever she said. “I’d lingered around her more than she could bear, probably the reason…” he thought…
Rant 258 : Why I conceal my choices
“What will be the song for this year?”, she asked “Come here, I will show you the song. I don’t want to play that loud.” “Dude! Why this?” I truly had no reply for her question. I told her that I was not in a situation where I could explain the worth of that song.…
Rant 257 : We don’t talk anymore
Why don’t we talk anymore? Did you ever give it a thought, why you stopped talking to someone just at one moment in particular and then made up a vow to never do it again? What makes you take such decisions out of the blue? Is it ego or is it the sourness that emerges…
Rant 256 : Not all lonely are alone!
Alone. The amount of subjectivity this word contains is enthralling. You can be silent and quiet inside a room and call yourself alone. You can be amidst 4-5 people and yet call yourself as alone or feel lonely in other words. You may at times, even feel that there are instances wherein there is a…
Rant 255 : Cease to lag, Keep flowing.
“I wish to go back to college”, he said. “But isn’t your college over now?” “Yes, but I wish to go back. This wasn’t how it was supposed to end. It was so sudden, just a mail one day and we had to vacate. What about the farewell parties, what about the last late night…
Rant 254 : The bubble within
Notifications dropping down fast. 100,150,200,250,300 and so on. Amidst all, you try searching that one person. Don’t find? Never mind – keep waiting. It is this hope that keeps us alive. Why do we want to share things with the ones, whom we are “not supposed to” share with? What is this special craving with…
Rant 253 : The Impressionables
“Would you care less, if it didn’t work out?” “What?” “this thing between us both..” “why do you think it wont work out..?” “No, I was just asking.” “Don’t be a jerk, lol” “No tell me, will you be indifferent to all of this if that happened?” He held her hands and looked straight into…
Rant 252 : Did you listen?
When at the top of the trajectory, even if for a moment, you wish to shout out for one last time before descending down, who are you shouting for? The air, the clouds, the trees, the world? We sometimes want to shout out in the loneliest of places, with absolutely no one around – for…
Rant 251 : The realm of Success
So you feel successful now? A little puffed up – maybe? What about the glamour that surrounds henceforth? Is it okay? What if all of this didn’t really matter in the first place? When you reach the apex, wind speed surges multifold and the routes become narrower and vulnerable. At heights you cannot walk in…
Rant 250 : Who is priviledged?
Thirty rupees. A 20 rupee note and a 10 rupee note. Enough for a day? Maybe, I don’t know. I feel it’s a little less. But I remember a chapter from my physics book –Relativity. Relation between two or more objects changes if you change the frame of reference and the position of the viewer.…
Rant 249 : It’s not a dream
“Just when you wish, those things in the deep sky will turn red and then blue and then white”, the angel said. “What are those, metal sheets?” “No!” And by this time, my eyeballs rolling over and over again – I was visually rushing through what they called a ‘cineshot’. I ensured I did not…
Rant 248 : A situation, whose time has come
For some days, different than all the others, I really want to rush back to that “everything”. Which was a small world of happy utopian situations. Everything looked picture perfect, not an inch placed wrong. Not that I miss it terribly, but I lament the fact that there is no going back. Out of all…
Rant 247 : The choked faucet
We all do love talking about the great and good times from our lives. Maybe to a family, to a friend or a general acquaintance and sometimes even with absolute strangers. Reminiscence of good times gives a special feeling of nostalgia and relief. It is akin to opening up an old album of pictures and…
Rant 246 : Chew long
How do you gauge how painful failing will be? How do you estimate, how badly broken your soul will be if things don’t work out? What does it mean to be crushed to the earth? For everything that comes or is poised to come in at some point of time, you can atleast make one…
Rant 245 : May the Force be with you
Have you ever experienced a tsunami of emotions? Like you be okay and all sound one moment and then suddenly something happens and that pricks you like a needle and you spring up – and then hoards of emotions from all the three dimensions of time – present, past and future come gushing in. The…
Rant 244 : Diffuser
There are some people, some places and a few moments – that keep acting as your diffusers for all times to come. You don’t need them to be with you alongside always. Just a brief moment of association is also more than enough to savour things for life. Whenever life sucks you in deep burrows…
Rant 243 : Let’s make home great again
If not always, why do we (most of us) miss home in the most desperate and traumatic moments? Why does nothing else comforts us more than our home when things take an evil turn? These questions are not philosophical ones, rather they need a very objective approach to think why things like these happen. Take…
Rant 242 : Just another chance
I had 3 guns, 80 ammo and 3 more points to be captured. I was running in straight without a fear. The run was familiar and I knew precisely where the hideouts were. It was only a matter of time that I would reach the zenith of this track and then the ultimate challenge of…
Rant 241 : The battle long lost
300. What does 300 remind me of ? Ofcourse, the War of Thermoplyae or the famous Persian War movie, that scorched through our minds and carved out a niche for itself. A ruthless, graphic and astounding account of bravery, perseverance and love for the land. 300 vs 300,000 numbers of invading soldiers. What makes the…
Rant 240 : You’re just a refill
I have written a lot about Nishita and a lot has been spoken about the fable. It is an interesting character that has helped me portray so much of what lay inside me. From my inner insecurities to my stellar fantasies, I have written down so much on this character’s behalf and for this character.…
Rant 239 : Hello, who’s there?
We are one. We are individuals first and then we group up to form relations, families, neighbourhoods, societies, states, nations and beyond. In this age of uber-communication, we seem to be in connect to nearly everyone and everything. From the news of an event that took place at one end of the globe to a…
Rant 238 : Stop and Slop
Be careful! Make sure you don’t mess this up! Please do it properly! Don’t mix it up please! …and so on.. We’ve been used to such kind of extreme cautiousness all our lives. Since childhood, we have all been instructed of how carefully or with what level of precision and precaution something has to be…
Rant 237 : And then you rot
“You sure it’s okay?” He nodded. “I need to leave, please take care of yourself. Don’t make this so difficult for both of us, I beg you.” She turned back as soon as she finished speaking. He rose, brushed himself up and walked with her for some time – and then he paused. “Not anymore.…
Rant 236 : Deciding in the dark
Twice an hour, multiple hours a day, many days a week and multiple weeks a month, we find ourselves stuck in a severe storm of failure. Sometimes meager and often strong and damaging, these moments of failures pull us down and throw us in the deep pit of hopelessness and despair. It’s in these dark…
Rant 235 : The case of Ego
What makes two people fight? What makes you and your special one fight? What makes you stand across your parents, or your siblings or spouses? If you could boil down the entire gamut of issues between any two individuals or a group of individuals, in all probabilities, it will come down to the deadliest 3-letter…
Rant 234 : Where does your LESS lie?
“Lets not make a big issue out of this now, we are both adult enough to understand what to do next. Lets stay in touch, but not this way – a little less.”, she said. “What do you mean by less? How less? Do I see you or I don’t? Do I talk to you…
Rant 233 : The heavy load within
“And I am tired. Tired within. Not that I don’t want to prolong my fight, but I think I must call it a day now. I am not one, but many. There are many personas within me and one of them has now surely come to a screeching halt. Maybe it is an act of…
Rant 232 : Sush!
How much of silence is enough? Or bearable? How much of it can you sustain? How long can you remain silent? Silence is known as the antidote of chaos. It heals people, situations and complex processes. It can bring calmness to the most highly entropic systems. If carefully utilised, it can well be way dangerous…
Rant 231 : The (im)proper advice
Do you listen to people who advice you? What is that one factor that makes it easier to pay heed to the advice? Is it the person? The situation? The will? The innate desires? I don’t know. You probably won’t know it either. It is very difficult to point out one specific thing. “I am…
Rant 230 : The bread shop on the 4th street
“and 3 more packets of bread.” I packed in the 3 bread packets in my bag and moved towards the bus stop. I hit the second turn to the bus stop, when I realised I had forgot my wallet there at the shop. Worried and petrified, I rushed back to the store. I reached the…
Rant 229 : The Second Chance
“Are you guys there already?” “Yea, where are you? We’re all waiting for you and prabhu to be here. Come on quick man!” one of my colleagues replied on the colleagues group. I opened his contact privately and asked him, what the exact occasion was, so I could take a gift appropriately. He told me…
Rant 228 : “..and the mark, will never die”
There are a few things outside the purview of judgement. You cannot judge them on the basis of worldly philosophies, they are abstract. You cannot make a verification, you cannot justify the intensity and cannot, for sure, shut it down at the behest of a pressure. Not quite eternal, but surely not earthly. Every single…
Rant 227 : Looking for a refuge
Hot dry desert. Yellow ochre earth that mixes with the saffron horizon with and merged with the similar sky. Smell of bullets and gunpowder all around. Distant sounds of shelling and intermittent LMG’s (Light weight Machine Guns). I can see a small tent like structure some 100 meters away, but crawling through the sand isn’t…
Rant 226 : Find the “One”
Sure about that “One”? Who is that one person, who will be around you for the whole of your life? In all your happiness, all your sorrow, without conditions and without any expectations? With you, whenever you fall, whenever you rise by your endeavour. Not demanding one thing, simply be there with you all the…
Rant 225 : A word to the 2020 batch (Guestpost)
In such times of global crisis, staying fit mentally is another big challenge. With scores of jobs and colleges shutdown and opportunities being hit in every part of life, it is everyone’s duty to keep up the morale of people around us. Very soon, we will be out of this and even sooner, running back…
Rant 224 : The warm palm
A rainy winter. A month and a half ago. 14 degree Celsius. I was inside my bed. It was raining heavily and it was around 11 in the morning. I tried to cover up the quilt on me, especially my face, because I could feel the chill on my face. When I pulled it over,…
Rant 223 : The fixed budget
“How much do you have?” “20” “I got 35, come on we can have 2!”, I was excited we had enough cash for a couple of plates of masala dosa at 25 per plate. Those were days when we would store those 2 rupee coins that we got every week for Jhalmudhi and multiple weeks…
Rant 222 : The last text of 12:41 am
12:41 am “You did not realise but all I did for all these years, was to cheat you. All those lofty talks, all the cozy days, all those meals and dinner I cooked- all were nothing but pieces of bait to keep you hanging on. I knew it wouldn’t be logical to ask you to…
Rant 221 : Summer’s solace
Usual. 11 pm. I sit to type. As I lean forward, a drop of sweat, channeling across the troughs of my face, drops on the keypad. Thankfully, it dropped on the keys and not between them. Mid April, midnight, sweat! What does that mean? Summers. This is not just the coming back of a season,…
Rant 220 : Breathe in Water
I see a dream. Myself on the shore walking towards the sea. I can hear people speaking behind me. Much noise. But it was calm towards the sea. Silence. Only the waves and me. Nothing else. As I keep walking towards the sea, there are a few people who are calling me. Probably stopping me.…
Rant 219 : Did you misjudge?
Did you misjudge? What went wrong? Did you already not know it won’t work out? Did you not enjoy the times enough to have good memories later on? Why do you have to be all frowned up once this happened? People ask questions. They will ask questions. It’s easy to witness the game from outside.…
Rant 218 : Date Yourself!
It was the third jury this semester and we were heading back to our rooms before we could just fall down and sleep. We were peddling our cycles at an unusually slow pace , fixing our heads on the front wheels of the cycles, with the shirt sleeves (which were decently tied full till now)…
Rant 217 : The explainable impression
What do see in a person? Thoughts, views, physical appearance, eyes or personality? Many of us would agree to one of the 5 mentioned traits. Some might say no, it’s the voice, or the walk. Some might say it can be the way they put themselves up. There are so many other things that one…
Rant 216 : The baggage of self
“Hope you feel better at home with your family. I will leave now, I need to hop on to my work now. Take care. See you.” She hung up the call after a long conversation we had after a long time. I could say nothing else but the usual good bye and take care. People…
Rant 215 : “Do not cross the line”
No, sometimes it’s just not possible to uplift yourself up. Sometimes we all feel broken down, tumbling down and diced up and I know that is not okay to begin with, but not everything in this life is supposed to be okay in the first place. There are several emotions we can express and most…
Rant 214 : The dark rains
As I walked down the street, while it rained, it felt like a consistent spray thrown apart by strong winds. Every drop of the rain felt like a targeted spear that drove right into my back. Not that I wanted to walk down the street in rain, but I just happened to be caught by…
Rant 213 : Unpredictable in it’s ways!
Times change. They change terribly. One fine morning you can be in your most comfortable clothes in the most comfortable bed having a sip of the most refreshing coffee available and the other morning you can be stranded in an empty field with 300 passengers because your train derailed. You might not be having even…
Rant 212 : Curd rice makes peace
“Where are you? I am hungry! Either you’re coming back in 20 minutes or I will start eating rice the way it is!”, she shouted on the phone. Hunger. Panick. Longing. “Are baba, wait! I will be there in 10 minutes at max. Met a friend on the way.”, I replied. “See, people here have…
Rant 211 : The anniversary of the wall
Wall, do you copy? Ey wall! Happy birthday wall. Do you listen? Its been, umm, long time since we had a conversation. You there? Do you want me to sit down? Or just sit with my back on you? Ok, wait a minute. Ah! Yea, so now! Happy birthday wall. Worried? Don’t wish to reply…
Rant 210 : The right turn on the 3rd lane
Take the alley. Get close to the main gate. Open the gate and step up on the street. Take a right turn and walk straight for 80m and then take a right turn at the third right. Then go to the third house from the end and wait there. Turn left and look at the…
Rant 209 : The dilemma of the lama – 3
This is a continuation of the Rant 245 : The dilemma of the lama – 2. Read it at the below link. https://the11oclockdiary.home.blog/2020/03/28/rant-245-the-dilemma-of-the-lama-2/ Though his mental health deteriorated too swiftly in the past few months, he increasingly found a growing concern for the lady he was been attended by. He was forced to lie to…
Rant 208 : The dilemma of the lama – 2
This is a continuation of the Rant 244 : The dilemma of the Lama – 1. Read the first part here. https://the11oclockdiary.home.blog/2020/03/27/rant-244-the-dilemma-of-the-lama-1/ He came out, in a towel and stood infront of the mirror that lay on the floor. A thin tall man in his 40s, ribs easily visible and the collar bones telling the…
Rant 207 : The dilemma of the Lama – 1
“Is it okay?” the counselor said. “I am here available for you anytime from 8 am to 11 pm on different channels – both on the phone and on the internet. Just give me a call or ping me whenever you wish to report some anxiousness. Is it okay?” He added. The counselor shook hands…
Rant 206 : Over-rule
“Take care”, I texted her even though my fingers repeatedly told me not to. But I did. Tick. Double tick. Blue ticks. Damn. I never thought it would be so tough. And then came the toughest part. The typing.. Why are things so tough when you move past one or the other things? Why do…
Rant 205 : The withering plant
It was a good pleasant morning at home. Around 7.30 am and I woke up and walked up to the few plants I have in my small courtyard. Among all the well-growing flowers and plants there was one which was stuck. It wasn’t just growing up. I had last seen it in mid-December and it…
Rant 204 : The desired ambiguity
“No! We will never know what it meant!” How many of us do actually wish to go back in some point of time and seek a few answers? The ones which haunt us the most. Which haunt you so bad that it simply takes out your mind and heart at a particular time of the…
Rant 203 – The empty frame : 2
Read the first part here below: https://the11oclockdiary.home.blog/2020/03/22/rant-239-the-empty-frame-1/ ——— “They are wonderful, indeed!” I felt that he knew that I wanted to ask more about the photo frames. He looked at me for a few seconds after he said that. “What would you like to have – tea or coffee or milk?” “Thank you sir, I…
Rant 202 : The empty frame – 1
“Are you there yet?” “Yea, yea just a minute, I am just stepping in. Will be there in 5 minutes.” I replied as I hurried into an old building, probably built in the late 1880’s in the later phase of the British era. I knocked on the door and was received by a lady in…
Rant 201 : She wants a life
What did she want from within the grave? The ladies thought. A set of jewelry for her post life endeavors? A set of expensive silk for her luxurious life in the heavenly abode? Maybe none of these. They asked the little female kid what the lady lying dead would want once she was back to…
Rant 200 : Let’s keep with the flow
Ok. So here this is. The 200th post. I started writing back on the 22nd of July. I was a little sick that day and the weird silence of the hospital rooms made me open the note application and write something on it. It was the first rant. I had never really thought of a…
Rant 199 : Stayin Alive!
Its time. We received an email that people who wish to leave can leave. There is no stopping by the authority. All attendance and scholarship issues will be handled and the students are requested to take utmost care with their travel and shifting.
