The Power of being a little more than Human
FMF Writers: Cold At the Mall last night. we get to its first floor foodcourt and a middle aged man settles next to our son Yona. He’s looking friendly and keen to chat. “Oh no. ” I think, disappearing from the scene to get us some sandwiches. It is near 6 pm. From the corner Continue reading

..you been on a trip, you were in awe and don’t have great words or pics, leave alone blogability ..?
First our booking at a Paloya Lodge got mysteriously canceled. Three hours later we find a villa by the confluence of two rivers; India they say rightly, is not for ‘beginners’ the whole week still vivid with images I’ve not really seen out the window before. Lorry next to us, had these leaves tied to Continue reading

Gandhi, Gujarat & me
Our window overlooks national army land. 100 meters from my window. If the light is good, I can see some of their uncut face skin, their arms and shoes. Sweet dearest Lord God, am not swearing, but they go to Kargil/ wherever, while I sit here trying not to be a crab, for a mean Continue reading

We see not with eyes, but with our mind
Annama sees through my face. There’s a hoard unlocking out of her. I see Us in her, I see our accumulated communal… local/global grief, I see forbidden joy in her sparkling eyes, and then the tears fall. She cannot forgive herself, nor the family that’ve abused her over the years. So she walked away from Continue reading

Mayhem in June?
Honour Yesterday, the news was not good; we had a city stampede…! Our mega cricket event this week ended with 11 deaths, from celebrity induced mobs; a collapsed drain…injuries. 2025 has been a rogue year this far, with Messrs.Corona rearing ugly head, plane crashes, fires, floods, wars, rumors.

Nervous!
“Don’t.” She says. It isn’t just a warning, it is a rifle pointed right in my nose. We were 12 and 13, and now decades later Kila is still saying that to me; she knows what kicks me raw in the gut where I keep intuition but now am flinging it out the window – Continue reading
