Recapture

Short essays, read in no particular order — Ineffable things The light barges in the room from a tiny window that leads to nothing but other generic houses. And yet the silly contradiction of life being both magical and mundane demands that we elaborate on the starry sky that we gaze at some of these nights from that tiny window…

Prelude to Everything

There are some brains who seek knowledge in its entirety, people who like recapitulating huge amounts of information, making summaries of entire chapters of coursework, people who are not satisfied with superficial ephemral insights but look to build a solid base and look at it from a retrospective distance. This…

Am I or aren’t I an impostor?

An essay on character, essence and other bizarre concepts. — Constancy is the enemy and, paradoxically enough, the only ally. As I strolled upon life’s most extravagant routes, I have soon caught a sickness, some sort of a recurrent unease. Talking to people, I would feel my words peeling off and dissociating and becoming more and more impertinent. My speech…

The Blemishes of Being A Person, Everyday

Exclusively relating almost all of my personal dilemmas, because what else am I good at — The most compelling urge at the present moment is to find a pin-thought that would properly start this wizardly meditation. That’s precisely what this is: a wizardly, eccentric, pretty unavailing meditation. It’s easy to be misled, by what might look like clean lovely prose but what actually is pure whimsical…

Adolescents’ strong connection with narcotics, said to be “Best Mates”. Simpletons discussing trifling matters in dimly-lit alleyways or in crowded Cafés on the verge of bursting out. Bursting out.
