Eleanor

Eleanor







One never knew with Eleanor. Appearances could be deceiving – one moment she was very calm, the next … not so. This propensity of Eleanor's to change moods like a chameleon was indeed something that was puzzling for everyone. No one could understand it. When she was calm she was extremely polite, considerate and caring. On the other hand if at any particular moment someone in her

I Committed Matricide

I Committed Matricide







One day you’re sitting with your head in your mother’s lap and in the next you’re sitting in a holding cell waiting for the trial of her murder. What happened? What indeed happened? At least in my case, I know what happened. And boy! Did I enjoy killing her! It was only day before yesterday that I had lured my mother into a false sense of happiness. 



I had put my

You will always be my emperor - #writephoto Shadows

You will always be my emperor - #writephoto Shadows







I looked up at the ceiling of the dark dungeon in which I was being held. I thought of my beloved Princess Saira. My mind conjured up the image of her lovely face in the canvas of my imagination. Earlier, in our meetings in darkened rooms in remote corners of the kingdom, Princess Saira had asked me to screw up my courage and ask the

A Brief Peek Into My eBook: Eighty Hours To Save Karen

A Brief Peek Into My eBook: Eighty Hours To Save Karen







I have never believed that I had the skills to write extensively. Other than a small independence day speech in my 5th grade and essays as part of my academic curriculum in school, I have never attempted to write anything that required writing skills or imagination on a large scale. 



It was a chance suggestion from a friend that

Finish The Story Collaboration

Finish The Story Collaboration






I have been wracking my brains for quite some time to get my creative juices flowing. I have been writing fiction for nearly eight months but I suddenly found myself unable to conjure up stories anymore. It was at this juncture that Tanmay Jain came up with a fiction collaboration. I immediately decided that this was the ideal medicine to get rid of my

Electronic Gadgets And The Human Psyche

Electronic Gadgets And The Human Psyche








Last night I dreamt. In my dream, I was once again a 12-year-old boy sitting in Paravathy mam's Chemistry class in the 7th grade. Parvathi mam had once again caught me day-dreaming. Her stentorian voice broke through my reverie, 'Jai can you tell me the chemical reaction which produces laughing gas as one of the by-products?' The academically

The Woman Who Went The Extra Mile To Teach Children - #WATWB

The Woman Who Went The Extra Mile To Teach Children - #WATWB








This month I have chosen the subject of my #WATWB post based on a suggestion from my wife. My wife is a Maths teacher and she really feels strongly about the state of education and teaching in India. I often spend evenings with her when she holds forth passionately on how little children from slums do not have anyone to mould

Why I Am A Hardened Feminist

Why I Am A Hardened Feminist









People have often accused me of being an unreasonable feminist. Who knows, maybe they are right. Maybe I hold the flag of feminism too high or carry it too far. Perhaps beyond all reasonable limits. I admit I simply cannot bear it when someone speaks ill of a woman. It is the one thing that makes my blood boil and makes me see red. Yesterday, I had a heated
