Moving on…

As we stood there in front of the casket, me pouring the last drop of water in his mouth, memories flashed in front of my eyes. Of monkeys cornering us that early morning on their house terrace in Ahmedabad; Of walking on the busy roads in Habsiguda, him walking on my left, guarding me from… Continue Reading

Memories

I get into my house, I believe from the side entrance. Looks like there's nobody in there. It's mildly windy. Possibly from an open window? There's a barely audible calming music from MS coming out from the bedroom. As I walk in, I notice TVM in the bed cocooned in a blanket, her eye's glazed… Continue Reading

VishuKani 2017. My first ever kani setup. Vishu has always been one of my favorite festivals. The simplicity and the depth of celebrations that Appa and Amma had for us, is something I'd always remember. May we all have a prosperous, enriching and mesmerizing year ahead.

Meeting Paruammai

It's about 04:30Hrs and there's not a single soul or bus in the stand. At about 05:00hrs, a tea vendor rides in on his bicycle. I check with him if there's a direct bus to Pallavur to which he responds in affirmative stating the first one should be leaving at about 05:30hrs. He even obliges… Continue Reading

The long pending meet…

Well, today is the ninth day as an 'Outfoscion' and despite the initial hiccups the transition has been real smooth. It took me a couple of days to let the feeling really sink in and to get adjusted to the relaxed carefree schedule of my self imposed 'break' before I join TFI. The first two… Continue Reading

Today evening, something just drew me to the the place that changed the way the past few years have evolved. Could not keep away from that road and building that I´ve been avoiding for the past so many years. I walk up the ramp slowly to the topmost floor.The Nepali guard watches me from the… Continue Reading

The Woman in the Mundu!

by Srikanth Perinkulam on March 21, 2008 in family, Miscellaneous with 3 Replies

The bus jerks along on the road as I get back home from Office. It's only 6:30pm and I've still got about 20kms to traverse. That effectively translated to an hour's time given the traffic situation at M'patnam. A colleague seated beside me is hooked to the Fountainhead in her hands and is already drooping.… Continue Reading

The Cow and I!

Ghai hamari mataa hai. Ghai shaakahaari jaanvar hai. Ghai ghaas-phoos khati hai. Ghai doodh deti hai. Ghai khali ya safed rang hoti hai... :-) I still remember that wonderful essay I'd written as a test to gain admission to Sandeepam Vidhyalaya! I was reminded of this episode today during my French class session. We were… Continue Reading
