“Did you buy it from the shop?” asked the husband angrily. “No no, Got it at the clinic.” Shireen lied earnestly. “Huh. I thought you have lost all shame.

Are only the ones who don’t eat hungry?
A major throwback – I wrote this summary on Anita Desai’s Fasting, Feasting for a literature course in 3rd year of college and somehow stumbled upon it today while exploring my old Blogger profile.

Darwin & Relationships
In a herd, all young ones are learning how to run, hide and to hunt; to understand how the jungle works. Some of them make their first kill and the others get weeded out by other predators. In simple words, the fittest survive. The traits that the fit ones carry are selected and continued in … Continue reading Darwin & Relationships
Rendezvous with sketching
After an eight year hiatus, I decided to start sketching again. The results are not up to my liking but for a first attempt aren’t bad either.
Hello World!
I forget if this is my fourth or fifth attempt at starting a blog, but this is definitely the most special one. Before this, it was always my own resolve which could never live beyond four posts.
