Arun Anto Our New Journey

After hearing the news, he was hit by whirlpool of pains many a times during his initial months. A period which he never liked to remember. 4 Years - filled with memories. That’s quite a long one. And he knew that erasing one by one will be a task which he believed to be close to impossible. He tried to rely on the super power who build the earth and heaven…he tried each day and failed. He started hating himself for trusting in that power. Like the Newton's 3rd law, more he tried to erase the me… Continue

binu karunakaran Interview with SFF writer Anil Menon

A leading voice in the growing tribe of Indian Speculative Fiction and Fantasy (SFF) authors, Anil Menon now divides time between India and the United States, where he is based. Anil holds a PhD in Computer Science, a career he dropped for realising his dream of being a writer. His interests range from ancient Budhist texts to the latest findings in neurophilosophy and evolutionary vagaries of the natural world to fractals and mathematical computation. I did an email interview with Anil MenonContinue

pink Take off.

Why was this for? Sudden silences, looks that cared. Looks that got lost. Each word explodes and the splinters penetrate deep. Men building bridges, though, is a relief to look at. The garbage stink wades in, but it's the smell of the upholstery that chokes me to death. The FM radio does not help too. Why are the rhythms and the beats apologising to me? When I look again, the traffic signal is a bright green on top, not red. When people scramble past, they look down. Why do you look, I ask. They… Continue

Arun Anto The Leafless Tree

Sitting on the heavy twisted roots of the huge leafless tree he could see the deserted lake, cloudless sky, green mountains and a wooden rowboat. He is tired of watching the same scene at the end of every day in his life. He is 9 and appa calls him Ram. The sign of poorness has plagued his skin and his color. He used to wait under the leafless tree for his appa to return from the town which is in the other side of the lake. He doesn’t know why the old tree under which he spends his evenings doe… Continue

Ben You working 9 - 5 in a cubicle? We are planning a great escape...

Sneha and I have known each other for a while. She is a dear friend, very dreamy, lot of energy but like many, gets drowned in the day to day mundane of life. And then reason it out as no escape! Over the years many folks have wondered how I find the time to travel extensively and make a living at the same time. Even though I am employed as a Process Consultant for a leading North American Financial Institution, I have carved out a working culture that can walk with me wherever I go… for the mos… Continue

shalini George Confessions of a Mother

I see that the children we have are miracles like any other. Like the bluish green tinge of the backwaters, like the blazing mighty sun taking its daily dip, far out in the sea, like meteors from space falling, sparing skyscrapers infested with all kinds of people, like the many acts of kindness that is bestowed upon us each day, we have nothing do with creating them: our children. Our job is to stand and wonder. Our job is to marvel and love. What has been given to us, as an ultimate act of mer… Continue

shalini George Telomeres of a different kind.

Some of the most amazing moments in life are the moments spent with friends. At least it’s been that way for me. Some say you rely on friends when you don’t have much of a family to hold on to. TRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIING, I disagree. Both are different equations. I would say you need your friends as much as your family. I think to become a wholesome person, good friendships are essential. All that gyan apart, I am here to talk about a person I stumbled upon virtually. Literally virtually. Through th… Continue

Ajit Menon Honestly, what I like about Ritu.

I thought; let the movie sink. And after a few days, see what remains within me. I like the trio – Jaya Menon who played Zarina Balu the head honcho of Zybo3, the software firm to a T, K. Govidankutty who played Rama Varma and M.G.Sasi who played Hari Varma. In my career, I’ve met my share of female heads of IT firms. Jaya has clutched their bitter drive and grinding ambition nicely. Her every scene is charged. The cool élan with which she says (literally) “let me hear your bullshit too…” is t… Continue

“What are you doing?” [Looks up, irritated.] “I’m on something. Can’t you see?” “That I can. But what?” “I’m writing.” “Writing what?” “What do you mean by ‘writing what’? I’m just …writing.” “But what?” [Silence] “At this time of night?” “So? Yeah.

Ben Harvard, Facebook, The Priscillian Club, Blogs.. what's the connection here?

I am sure most of you know this but perhaps many don't; that the face behind "Facebook" is a Harvard product Mark Zuckerberg. This man becomes the lead protagonist of the non-fiction novel by Ben Mezrich titled "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius
and Betrayal" The book, to begin with, is so
fascinating that actor Kevin Spacey is co-producing it for the screen!… Continue

Arun Rajan Traditions and Prayers

I heard a mouthful from my dad one day “you are not moving in the right direction. You are living life of your own. You have stopped praying god. Why can’t you devote some time praying in the pooja room? Wake up early make some time. This is not our tradition, I wont like this life style of yours”. I was upset with god for not hearing my prayers and giving me difficulties always. I started thinking one day. What is a prayer? Isn’t the essence of prayer an ability to totally understand ourselve… Continue
