  • Of Books and Basant in 2026

    Anything dirty sells, they said. Write about the trapped housewife with the vicious mother-in-law, the dirt-poor vegetable seller with the drunkard potbellied husband and the female child with dirt-ringed curls swatting flies out of her eyes as she smears small hands on shiny car windows. Write about South Asian women ‘as they really are’ and… →

  • What Sings Beneath The Earth (fiction)

    So I’ve decided to take the bull by the horns and dab away at a spot of fiction. I’m an impatient person so fiction doesn’t come easily to me. Short stories, let alone full blown novels have completely evaded me. Except now I’ve written something. Oh what an accomplishment. The piece is called What Sings →

  • Ghetto Harry Potter Meets Gay Mr. Darcy

    I’ve always admired writers who can dabble in fiction. I myself, although not a writer yet, have never approached the imaginary world, at least not on paper.

I can hear the tiny tick tick noises the reptilians make when trying to cling onto the bank with miniature nails. Their holds don’t stick, and →

  • I Have A New Baby!

    I’ve been busy for the past two days, setting up a new blog. The idea for my new baby, as I like to call it came from one of my greatest obsessions: urban myths and legends. I’ve always been fascinated with legends, rumours and scary stories and so I decided to make a whole new →

  • The Princess and the Unpopular Phoenix…

    Unpopular Choices? Initiate dream sequence, since its an unforgiving winter’s day outside… My sister and I were lounging lazily under the shade of a brilliant green palm leaf, our feet dipped in the crystal blue green pond, staring up at the sky. Since it was a tropical forest, the sun seemed to be on full beam, and the mellow →
