On her forehead worries collapsed one upon another a wrinkly pile of seasons harsh sustaining each other Wrapped in wool her body refused warmth creeping into her heart with a strangers smile She sat crumbling in pavements indifferent to her plight diffidence poised on her lips waiting for the dusk that forever hung over theContinueContinue reading “On the streets of Ooty”

Travelling around
Just read Mridula�s piece about her trip to Goa on GoNomad. I and Sajju were planning on taking that very same YHAI trip, but never did. We both keep talking about travelling in India. But somehow all our time seems to just go in visiting family back home in Bombay and Pune. We travelled soContinueContinue reading “Travelling around”
In continuum to the previous post � the serious part of it
The green hay prettily nods her head to get my attention. Like that girl fresh into puberty eager for men to look at her in awe. I am awed, my dear, by your freshness, by how tender you look, how alive and how happy you are by your birth and age. But I cannot helpContinueContinue reading “In continuum to the previous post � the serious part of it”
when wishes are fulfilled
(c) Anita Satyajit 2005 It was culmination of desires accumulated carefully over years.

The long Awaited Vacation (Shirdi)
Shirdi. It was a fantabulous journey. We went through proper rural Maharashtra, Maharashtra as it is (minus the frills and fancies of Bombay and Pune). Small huts, fields, streams and temples. If you thought that poverty existed only in cities, you need to think again. The fate of small and marginal farmers is as pathetic.ContinueContinue reading “The long Awaited Vacation (Shirdi)”
The Long awaited vacation (Daulatabad & Ellora)
Daulatabad Fort: Magnificent! It was the first time I was seeing such a well preserved fort. After seeing the ruined state of the other forts (Shivaji�s) I was pleasantly surprised to see such a well maintained fort in the same state. Did make me think about how the ASI could pay as much attention toContinueContinue reading “The Long awaited vacation (Daulatabad & Ellora)”
The long awaited vacation ( Ajanta)
I cherish the act of travelling. It just makes you move beyond yourself. Reach out into the minds of others, teach you that what you think of as your life and what you attach importance to is a small part of this seamless universe. End of last month, start of this month I went toContinueContinue reading “The long awaited vacation ( Ajanta)”
