WILL SHE RECOGNIZE?
The unnerving question is, if my mother, who I lost 30 years ago, were to come back today will she recognize me? I do not think any mother would recognize her children. Puzzled? I lost my mother to cancer in 1996. When she was 48 years old; and I was 29 years. My father said […]
STRANGE CASE OF MY PHONE NUMBERS
Like anybody’s phone my phone too has many contacts. We save them. Saving phone numbers in contacts does not mean all of them are important. Many numbers are business / essential facilities related.

DEATH IS LIFE!
“What lives that does not live from the death of someone else?” This is a profound statement. The lone truth of the living. This statement is found in the initial credits of a 1980s German movie “NEKROMANTIK” which was banned at that time. The director wanted to create a stunning paralytic and unforgettable experience through […]

TIME FOR SALE
If there is one thing, I have in plenty in an inexhaustible way, is TIME. I have no property; no food; no knowledge; no commitments. I want all these, but they cunningly elude me. And there is money – it sticks to me as thickly as a rain drop sticks to a rain coat! Thus […]
It’s Your Time!
It’s Your Time – Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive next morning. Yet we set the alarm clock to wake up. We write of ‘things to do tomorrow’. What do we call this? Hope? Or Hoping against hope? If you had $86,400 in your bank account and someone stole […]
TIME THAT NEVER WAS!
If I were to accept ‘change’ or the concept of it…say ‘You cannot step into the same river twice’ or ‘The world is in constant flux’ or as one of the Buddhist said ‘You cannot step into the river even once’, it would mean accepting the concept of TIME. As I said in an earlier […]
WRITING THE EPITAPH OF TIME
I have completed reading a great book called KOLAGANI MUTHIAM REDDY (KMR). The greatest story ever told. I have lived through his accomplishments, success, failures, disappointments, happiness, sorrows, celebrations, plans, future, professions and much more. In a word, I saw my life in him. I ate when he ate, laughed when he laughed, cried when […]
