Everything Is Genetic!

This seems to be my mom’s current catchphrase. It is the result of three generations living under the same roof. My Dadi (grandmother) lives with us. And well. She is peculiar (Putting it mildly). And she makes my mom go mad. Mummy gets tired of us all sometimes. And if she is in a particularly…

Okayest Bro

I am a loner. I wasn’t always like that. But as I grew up, I got quieter. Not quiet exactly. Rather reclusive. I started having trouble meeting new people, talking to strangers, making new friends. I think it was because I gained a lot of weight in my last years at high school and lost…

Pretentious Pricks

My Dad is involved in some community events of our little town. Especially the ones which are music related. He is a pretty good singer himself (what can I say? We have an artistic genepool). Indian Classical Music is a bit of a tricky genre to master I think. It is so different from the…

Covered In Rain

There is this thing that we all have inside of us (apart from all the body parts, of course. But that is not what I’m talking about here. Not an Anatomy class.): A firm belief of being a person with the greatest music taste in the history of all the music tastes. We all have…

My Mom Is Going Through Pre-separation Anxiety

This morning when I went to get some water from the kitchen, I found my parents sitting on the kitchen table. My Dad had his “I-dunno-what-to-say-but-i’m-here” expression on. That’s the first thing I saw. Then I saw my mom. She was crying. I immediately thought that it was because of me. I am still in…

Being The Designated Problem Child

I’ve been thinking about this a lot since last two days. The reason why this idea took place inside my head is the reason why any philosophical/self-analytical theory takes place in anyone’s head: I went through a traumatic event. In the long run of things (read: life), it won’t be called a “trauma” exactly. Perhaps…

Social Media: What It Was Intended To Do And What It Really Is Doing

It has been six years since the first time I was exposed to the world of social media. So I don’t really know what the scene was before that. But if you are a loner and an avid people watcher (without going in the Creep Category) like myself, then you will probably understand what I…

Fiction Vs. Reality

I love reading books. I have been reading since so many years. I am definitely a fast reader. But I have experienced that my curiosity often dampens the whole experience of reading that everyone always talks about. The curiosity to know What Happens Next. In fact, it is so bad that sometimes when some character…
