Dance from the feminine The title of this piece is borrowed from a brochure on a dance school I chanced upon, which promised an innovative method to dance and rediscover one’s own body dynamics through dancing.I don’t know how well the programme has been received among Malayalees who would rather claim their five seconds of fame in the limelight, p... more...

shiela
In the college, I had a batchmate  - Shiela. All the boys were under her spell. That  ravishing. She looked and acted like a princess. We all envied, adored her. She spread around covert hints that she was very rich.One day, as Shiela was coming out  of the classes, there  was a sight that stopped her right in her tracks. An old woman was  coming i... more...

God is online The age of soothsayers is back in India. An educated guess is that the maximum number of publications that come out from the press belongs to astrology and related departments. So what is news? The news is that youngsters account for the lion’s share of the subscription. Belief in God and His powers has never enjoyed such pull in the ... more...

Corridors with an bad reputation        Running through the pale yellow corridors of the campus, running away from love, I suddenly realised I had run in to another corridor - this one. The Asylum.

December 25; dear diary. When I have pluck'd the rose,speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate,Nor set downaught in malice.

How to appreciate a single line.  There are two ways to escape an abstract design by a great painter – say, Paul Klee.

Fifteenth Kilometer – The Consort She appeared out of nowhere. It was as if she was born of all that dust. And lust. Dusky. There was an aroma in the air. Like a dark, nocturnal flower suddenly opened its eyes.Father Merrin could sense her walking along for a while , but he didn’t take heed. Finally, she said, in a voice that was low like surf on t... more...

Tenth Kilometer – The Pack As far as the eye could see, the path lay like a snake. On both sides, barren fields waited a rain. Dust devils hid Father Merrin’s sight frequently. Head, the full moon turned phlegmatic, hanging like spit from a werewolf. All stars had disappeared. A sudden pall descended the earth. Merrin could smell something coming –... more...
