  • crumbling inward

    July 23, 2009

    [Note that this is a re-post of a really old blog post of mine (on a secret blog, no less!) ] I find myself metamorphosing into something harder and colder. No longer the romantic fool. No longer the playful child who stared awed at the world. No longer the fool who set out to conquer [...]

  • heroes

    March 27, 2009

    Disclaimer: These series (hopefully) has nothing to with the TV show ‘Heroes’. Mankind has always looked for heroes to look up to, to admire, to inspire them. In 1938, from the pages of Action Comics #1, arose a new kind of hero. This man differed from previous ‘heroes’, in that he was able to lift [...]

  • Life

    July 12, 2007

    Where does it come from, this quest, this need to solve life’s mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered? Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we’d be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. But that’s not human nature. Not the human [...]

  • Forever

    July 12, 2007

    Immortality. The holy grail of existence. Many strive for it. Some attain immortality in the memory of others. I restrict my thoughts to biological immortality. Living forever. What if you could live forever? Some would opine that living forever is a curse. You live on while those around you fade away. I feel that beyond [...]

  • The hopeless romantic

    July 12, 2007

    I got this from an old blog of mine. The article is written by RainMirage on E2. Hopeless romantics believe in love and fairy-tales. They dream of roses and candlelight, walking on the beach at sunset, and dancing in the rain. They know that somewhere out there is a knight in shining armour ready to [...]

  • Honey, I’m old!

    July 12, 2007

    All my delusions of youth were shattered when I took my cousin shopping last time I went home. We went to this really classy place (according to my cousin) and I was busy shopping. However, after a while, I noticed that my cousin was hardly interested in anything and was just standing around, staring at [...]

  • A death in the family

    July 12, 2007

    The son has put on a brave face and taken command of the situation. Ushering guests in, showing people around, handling the workers, generally running around, pushing back his grief. The daughter was crying vociferouly. Ridden by guilt that was unwarranted. Guilt she couldn’t do more. The son stops to reprimand her, reminding her that [...]

  • A brief history of conning

    July 12, 2007

    The earliest memory of conning that I can remember was when a guy approahed me in the train station, asking for help. Still green those days, I lent a concerned ear to his woeful tale. He spun a fantastic tale of how misfortune befell him on his journey and how he ended up without a [...]

  • The road to obsession

    July 12, 2007

    Desire. Doesn’t it always begin with desire? Once we start desiring something, we start thinking of it more, and if we don’t obtain the object of our desire, the desire level keeps stepping up. Desire leads to wanting. Wanting leads to longing. Longing leads to craving. And craving leads to obsession.

  • Life in the 5th dimension

    July 12, 2007

    [Those who haven’t already, please head over to the here and check out the presentation on the 11 dimensions.] Life sure is good in the 5th dimension. Sometimes I wonder if we, the 3rd dimension beings , would ever be able to penetrate through the higher dimensions. Maybe it would not be possible without help [...]
