The rightful owner It wasn’t her fault that it took so long. I struggled to teach her everything right. It began with how she perceived differently. I noticed the signs, the neighboring lanes and the oncoming obstacles. I could anticipate the behavior of the beings around us and yet she seemed blind to the obvious.[…]
I am an emotional chap. And especially when it comes to numbers. The tangibles of mathematics are enough to exude irrational feelings. It remains my fall back option on very important anniversaries. Today, my dad starts his last birth year in his sixties and as I write this in my mid-thirties. This is what life does[…]
I am not drowning enough For not being an athlete, I sure do have all the symptoms of being one. My feet are hard caked. My toe nails are doubled up. I have had an ACL repaired. And I seem to hurt in the same places like long distance runners do, although, I haven’t even come[…]
The odometer that measures travel. And eventually resets. Years ago I had questioned what kind of country my first home wanted to be. It was an open ended question.

Yes, perhaps. My friend loaned me the Ulysses with an extremely optimistic belief that that I should be able to get through that book in a few weeks. I managed to barely get through the introduction when he politely asked if I was done and I promptly returned the book admitting my incompetence in reading[…]
Republic of Visas My wife has a knack for pertinent observations while I occupy myself with observations that are either pointless or slightly poignant. Besides, she has a natural advantage over me since she is new here. I am just old here in the United States. One of her pertinent observations included how Indians here[…]
making room She appears to be the same. But she isn’t. There is a glitch here that I can plainly see. Not because I hadn’t been with her for so long. It is because I see her differently now. How does one get back with someone with whom one never broke up with? Well, first,[…]
