Nothing compares to you,Amma...
She rocked my world: in all my time with her, away from her and now without her.As hard as this is to write, it had to be written.For this day too has come ..To describe one's mother in a few paragraphs is all but a futile attempt ; how can a few words fully capture a life time of love, sacrifice an...

Anna Hazare, Please leave Gandhiji alone!
In the past so many months, watching English news channels was an absolute pain. Team Anna, Civil Society, second Independence Movement were terms traded freely to describe what i think was a movement which projected a noble cause but was executed in a manner which lacked dignity, sense of propriety...

A Tribute to my Favourite Aunt
She was a wonderful person and I loved her. My world would be different without her in it. Not that i visited her often. Of late, me being away from kochin, and then my illness had prevented me from what i loved doing - looking up my aunts and uncles. I regret it now. Intensely. Whenever we get a ch...

Stranglehold of expectations.
(another one from the decade and a half old diary. makes me smile now, cos the hysteria has died down.)Thy ask me if I'm a feministI tell them I don't know But it hurts, oh yes, it hurtsWhen her fatigue is dismissedAnd becomes a cooking vesselWhen they cast the stone at herCos she did what he too di...

Anniversary
(another entry in my diary - made a year after my mother's death. she, by the way, was the most powerful influence on me.) A year since she left. A year since the detonationIn the chest-or brain?The steadying hand. Stunned Disbelief.No more.Gone.Where?Deaf to our griefDead to our griefWhere are you?

The return of the enemy
When the dreaded foe resurfaced My heart crashed against the ribs Knocking me down. But soon I picked myself up And the ground steadied beneath me, And I faced the foe. The apparition which had petrified me Was now but a shadow of what he was The first time He'd been demystified. His cards were expo...

Thou Shall Not Bend!
'You must not bend", said my doc. I had gone to him 'cos of back pain - something a person like me fighting a deadly disease should not ignore.'Not even to pick up something from the floor?', I asked.'No', he said quietly.

Post 11 - The Failed Stoic
When you sit across the table staring at the face of death, how does your mind work?It's not very different from the usual human thought process in that it follows no logic or sequence.
