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 theContinue reading “Rant 241 : The battle long lost”

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.Continue reading “Rant 237 : And then you rot”
Rant 170 : One Hundred and Eleven
111 days . Its a long time. To realise that a dream was broken. A road lost. A path faded. A frozen mind. But somehow, none of this has happened. The dawn of realization is expensive and rare. Those who are lucky enough, life grants them this eliteness quite early. Somehow this hasn’t happened. TheContinue reading “Rant 170 : One Hundred and Eleven”
Rant 168 : The color strand on the black sail
At times, there is a weird chaos. Like every 3 seconds you get a new topic to write in your brain and while your headsets play a wacky song at loud music, all those ideas vanish within half the time they emerged in. There are new things every 4-5 seconds. They pass like speeding vehiclesContinue reading “Rant 168 : The color strand on the black sail”
Rant 162 : The right-left hand synergy
“Listen, I won’t be able to do it. I am sure I won’t be. Please understand.” I was literally shitting bricks. She forced me in and made me sit there.

Rant 149 : The couple solo trip
“Will you really not come along?” “No”, she said. “Shit! I thought you were joking and you would come down all ready with the bag and join me”, I said in a doomed tone. “Eh”, she said and hugged me tightly. I had never been on a trip out alone in the past two years.Continue reading “Rant 149 : The couple solo trip”

Rant 144 : A terribly good dream -1
Some dreams are terrible. Terrible in the sense that they are too good to be true. I mean these dreams don’t leave you with anything but even more pain and desperation. When you know there is nothing to be done now. That there is no possibility of anything happening anywhere and anywhere else in thisContinue reading “Rant 144 : A terribly good dream -1”
Rant 139 : Fickle minded?
“Yea, I will wait outside, you get your work done”, I suggested Sahil I will stay by the car. I really avoid going inside hospital’s emergency wards. I don’t know why.

Rant 126 : The trait of not moving on
I was there in my apartment. Lying on the bed, pillow by my head, a speaker playing my favourite songs. A small cup with warm mustard oil and a small cloth in it. I had asked for an off from work that day as I had around 9 CL’s left with me and it wasContinue reading “Rant 126 : The trait of not moving on”

” I would never forget him for what he did to me”, She said crying vehemently. I sat infront of her, holding her hands between mine.
