You look so beautiful when you are
lost. You walk on the road, your hands in your pocket. No sight of earphones
distracting you, no smartphone making you "smarter" or mercilessly
popping up notifications. You look so serene in your solidarity. As you walk by
me and I sit by the pavement, I smile. You missed it, of course, because you
were lost. As I sit on this mildly wet pavement enjoying my tea, I imagine what
your thoughts might be.

She put her hand over my head and ruffled my hair lovingly. Frankly speaking I don't know whether it was a guy or a girl. I was too afraid you see. I seized up the when I saw her coming into my compartment. She was a kinnar you see.

Its 12th of November…a pleasant evening.. Birds chirping in their nests.. An unusual hot loo sets in... Everything looks perfect.. Except of course the dead body.. Too much blood for any passersby comfort you know.. The body lies on the pavement beside river Mahanadi. It’s a sorry sorry sight... The white salwar was scarlet with blood..

The Turmoil Within
I saw her when I was coming out of
my college gate; a frail woman in her late forties standing beside the road. A
bag, as infirm as her, was sitting beside her feet. She was looking at the
street. Both the ends of it till where the road turned into nothingness… what
caught my eye was the look on her face… the look of helplessness… I recognized
it because I have known the feeling of being helpless… and the agonizing pain
that it comes with it. I, like most people would do, tried to sneak my way without attracting her attention… I

When I saw the movie Rockstar I was mesmerized by the theme of the story. It stressed on the point that artists, that is rockstars, writers, painters those have become great in life and left their mark on humans race, yes humans as a whole, have all suffered great sadness, depression or heart break in their life. I was very moved by this. At that time when the movie was released I was into the whole guitar scene. Yes i know now that I want thinking straight. Playing guitar was never my cup of tea. I could never become too good at it; or to be frank any good at it. Still,

A leaf from the dairy of an Engineer
Till date, I was (am) spherically
surrounded with evil complexes. First of all I decide to avoid all girls and
making myself to fashion with the mirror. I tried from dawn to dusk… I
succeeded partially, that is numerically 0.5%. Today I remain somewhat a
success, and major part a failure. Success comprises contact with family
(father1, father2, brother, mama). It also includes following the path of
brahmacharya to a small extent.

Ramnathan Srinivasan is
dead. He was murdered on an afternoon in the pavement of a street in
Rajnagar, a small town in outskirts of Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. His
body lies in the streets, unclaimed and unwanted. An angry crowd
surrounds the body. Blood oozes out of every possible orifice in his
body. The body is mangled. Legs and arms rest in obtuse angles with
respect to his body. It’s indeed a sorry sight. Only his eyes
betray the scene. A look of sheer amazement and sadness masks his
lifeless face. My name is Ramnathan Srinivasan and this is the story
of how I die....
