Hello there!

It's been a long while I have been here and I am not sure if you missed me but I really did miss this space.

Ever since anyone has known me through this blog I have always told that Memoirs of Me is my first born , closely followed by my second blog Reviews & Musings and they will be always my first priority. I might become an author or might not become anything but this is one place that will never get compromised by me.

But since 2014 owing to my health there have been a lot of compromises and the blog has taken a back seat. Even when it comes to blogging the quality has declined (according to me) resulting into the decline of readership as well. Early this year I had a bad case of slip disc, followed by a minor surgery which could have had complications but luckily didn't. 

Beginning this year I had promised myself that I will write better this year and Lo! As luck would have had it my writing got affected due to the above. But then I think there was a flipside to it which I didn't realise till recently. Since December I have been having recurrent dreams about my plot and novel pushing me to write which I did in a diary. And because of this illness which rendered me bed ridden I have ended up writing quite a bit. (Well 30k words is not less I guess :)) Ofcourse if something concrete takes shape this is where I will bring it back again but till then storyboard is where I am hanging precariously holding onto thin wisps of yellow post-its trying to make sense of the mambo-jumbo that comes to my dreams in bits and pieces.

As a very close friend told me , blogging was your beginning and a place where you learnt. In life you grown and move on to bigger things later on but that does not mean that you forget who taught you all that. So perhaps finally my psyche has accepted that now I am not hyperventilating if I am not able to blog. 

I will blog whenever I can and will do so because of love for writing! After all everything and anything cannot be a book. There are some magical pieces which are here on this blog and I would rather keep it that way only. So if you don't see me around much, please don't fret. Rather please pray that I am able to bring untold story inside me finally out on paper because till then my mind is a chaotic place to be in.

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

By

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
