Impact
The more I move from western music to Indian classical, the more pacified I find myself. I started listening to hindustani classical a year ago, and my passion for it has only intensified over time. will keep the habit.

death valley
spent five days in an rv in the heart of death valley. ive never been to ladakh, but i imagine the landscapes will be very similar. vast expanses of nothingness with a panoramic 360 degree view of the valley. undertook some rather bol treks, one being to a rock in the middle of a river. the highlight of the trip was spending a night under the moonlight at badwaters, the lowest point below sea...

Who watches the watchmen?
My apartment in Delhi has had the same watchman forever now. I have seen him grow up. From 40 to 60. I hope he is ok when I get home in one month. The hard truth of life, in Agent Smith’s words - “Life has one purpose. The purpose of life is to end.” In this moment, 3 am, sitting with my worries and petty tasks held close to my heart, I believe this is forever. It isnt. There is...

I just...

Fast forward, past forward
I find myself wanting to escape everything. Either the places don’t belong to me, or I don’t belong anywhere. Not antisocial, or asocial, but solitude is important. Not just in body, but also in spirit. A solitude uniterrupted by phone calls, worries, emails and brain noises. I have felt that solitude sometimes, and whenever i have, it has left me feeling complete. I know I’ll...

Resurrection. Again.
My blog dies and resurrects more times than Jason/Freddie/Boogeyman do. The last time it died, this is what I wrote to justify the demise and the subsequent revamp of my interest in revamping it (in italics) - Tuesday, January 06, 2009 Death 2.0 I diagnosed that my blog died a premature death because I linked it to Facebook Notes, thereby restricting personal expression by the fear of...
