A Weird Dream
 Stan waited for the office bus at the place were he regularly waited. The junction where the narrow road leading to the too low subway joined the highway. It was dusty and hot as usual. The construction of a flyover to counter the hour-long traffic jams had begun and Stan had crossed the road with difficulty because he had to negotiate the tin she... more...

Ramblings
Suddenly a thought touched me. I found I was not able to write. No words came to me. I seem to be stuck at a writer’s dead end. It could be because I no longer write and the lethargy of it is having me in its chains. I don’t even write mails these days. What have I become? And without writing I feel useless, worthless, and in general good for nothi... more...

I think there are days when you are accident prone. Today was one of those days for me. As usual I woke up later than I have to in the morning and got ready for office in a hurry.

Malaria in Mumbai
My roommate has Malaria. It seems many others in the area also have Malaria. Mumbai is a Malarial city. But there is nothing mentioned in the newspapers or television about Malaria in Mumbai.   Or is it that it is not serious? Can any fellow Mumbaiker shed light on this? Does anyone you know has Malaria? more...

Love And Lust
Have you been truly loved? Is there something called true love? Is there something called love? Or is it just lust? While in college, we conducted a survey.

Being young
Have you ever thought how good it is to be young? To feel how good it is to feel full, to feel your strong lungs expanding inside you, to walk through a crowd with your strong legs with your head held up high, to climb hills and not lose breath, to take the risk of trying to flirt with the stern faced babe in the cafeteria, to be able to leave ever... more...

What is the punishment for laziness? There may be many in the long term, but the immediate one is boredom. Visualize this, a friend has told you about an art exhibition in town and asked you if you would like to join. You are supposed to meet your friend, say at 3.30 in the afternoon. You have had a heavy lunch. It is 2, and you decide to take a sh... more...

To read Anita Desai is to know her genius. It is plainly evident in works such as Fire on the Mountain and Voices in the City. The characters she crafts, the strands of narration she weaves and the issues she explores in-depth are her hallmarks. To meet Anita is to see her brilliance shine brighter.
