At Abstatt
In Europe, Catholic church equals Downtown! Even on this side of the Ocean my association with small towns continues. With the population less than five thousand people, it will be the one of the smallest cities I have ever lived in. And with this smallness come the interesting tit-bits. For starters, English seems to have[…]
How to list an exit..
A list is only as good as the list maker I have always had a soft corner for lists. Without them I always end up buying yogurt that I would eventually trash. But these odd scraps of paper that have tasks etched on them seem to have a demure status. They can only constantly remind[…]
A temporary change of address
We have met before; twice now. And both times you have held me, partially. Perhaps, this time, since I am spending a lot more time with you, things could be different. Judging you within the confines of my hotel room was always much too easy and terribly wrong. Living with you will involve buying milk,[…]
The Genie Crisis
Several times in my recent past I have sighed in relief when my wishes did not come true. I would wish for a certain event to occur but, as soon as I wished it, I would start praying that it wouldn’t come true.Clearly, there is a problem here. At quarter life, I really should know[…]

Her engine ticks over after a energizing sprint As our relationship enters the third year, I find myself terribly petrified. I have had a bad record with relationships in their third years. Not that I am setting us up for failure, but, I wanted to get that off my chest. The two years that I[…]
The after-nap
Undergraduate days were deceptively tiring. I was certain that it wasn’t studies or anything remotely academic that had me yawning by midnight. Of course, she wasn’t much better either. In her world though, sleep has to be prefixed with some intensely flavored herbal tea. It was, then, one such calm night. Both of us had[…]
Leaping reality
I have now caught up with you, again. How you get away from me is always amazing. I am equally impressed with the lead you build up. Unfortunately, not much can be said about how you slow down as you are winning. It is like clockwork. The last time you sped up on me is[…]
At peace
It’s been a while since I felt so incredibly random. Rather, it’s been a while since I wanted to write about my randomness so intensely. For some reason, everything up till this point had to be articulate. Well defined, organized and with good reasons. Guess it just comes with being older or colder. It was[…]
The Middle Ages
While scientists continue to argue over space time continuum, I am entirely convinced that time moves much faster as soon as you enter the mid twenties. Last year, as I turned a quarter-life old over the Atlantic Ocean, I made a resolution to make a change. Too much time had already passed and a lot[…]
