Tie your camel to a tree
Do the years make a difference? Do the hours make any difference? Does anything make a difference at all? To what is. To what is not. To what could be. To what cannot be. Is it possible to be free and trapped at the same time? And vice versa, is it possible to be trapped … Continue reading
A resting place
Two more wickets down. Rajeev, the accountant has left in a cold blooded manner on the day his salary cheque got cleared. Rahim, the HR guy supported him in an underhand way and left us with no choice except that of offering him an exit route. Ankit made a feeble effort to re-join but it … Continue reading

I am glad he said it, even though it … Continue reading
