I am a huge fan of postcards and handwritten letters. Since snail mail is a dying art, they have become more valuable to me, and I even once postulated a theory that someday, they might become so valuable that they will be held in museums and people will want to steal them and fence them […]

What Goes Around Comes Around
“Thanks again for everything, especially for you-know-what,” my friend, let’s call her K, wrote in her card to me. “I will always be grateful for that, and I don’t know when I’ll ever stop thanking you for it.” The incident she mentioned happened three years ago. She and I and a few other friends were […]
How to Comfort a Heartbroken Friend
Over the weekend, this Scumbag Steve happened: I’m sure she’s better off without him and she knows that, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt right now. Because it does. And though getting dumped hurts whatever time of year it may happen, I think it’s even more painful when it happens right before the most […]

“What happened, actually?” the doctor asked me after he had tended to my wounds. “I… ummm… fell,” I explained ruefully. “So clumsy.” You’d think there should be an age limit for bloody knees, but no. Bella* struck again yesterday. I was just walking back to the office after eating dinner when I lost my balance […]
What Does Your Name Mean?
They say that each name means something and that the name you are bestowed with shapes your life. Now my father had changed the spelling of my name to accommodate his numerology beliefs, so when I use normal name meaning books or sites, I won’t find an accurate meaning of my name. But then I […]
