I have come to love the Arched backs of promises made in earnest love, Whether kept or not. The soft pillows that line the spaces of silence between friends- Resolutely unforceful and inviting. The unforgettable moments so beautiful we forgot To stop for a picture. I have come to love the moments hidden between photographs The... Continue Reading →

Let me be your little wildflower, O Lord I have no great things to profess or teach I know no great truths or revelations Allow me, my Lord, only to wander with you. Let me grow on the mountain slopes you taught at- your soft chuckle, the song of my soul. Let me grow on... Continue Reading →
Did Indian movies inadvertantly contribute to the creeper culture in India?
It pains me deeply to say this, but I have a feeling that Shahrukh Khan may have contributed to the creeper culture in India. Now before you pick up your pitchforks, know that I love the man and his work very much too, but there have been many a time when I have watched scenes... Continue Reading →
