Musical (Mis)Adventures

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa followed by a chorus reverberated as my mom and 5-year-old me walked across the street and quickly my mom noted the house number. Little did I know that the next day I would be sitting with the chorus group that repeated Sa re ga ma pa. My mom was waiting…

#ChennaiVaasi

How can I make the biggest Deiva kuttham of not writing a post on Madras day especially when I'm physically present in my ooru aka HOME, Chennai. When I heard the announcement in flight, 'We are now landing. Welcome to Chennai.' my heart did a kutthu dance and the pain of 23 hours of flight…

55-Fictions

55F is 55-Fiction which is nothing but a story in 55 words which mostly has a twist in the end. Here are a couple of 55Fs with which I started this writing challenge and another with which I’m now ending the challenge. Masterpiece White was followed by red. Green, orange and yellow joined the party…

Jalabulajangs

My last post was about food and the title gave away the topic and so one of my friends said she is not going to read it as she will crave for those foods. So this time as a marketing strategy to pull readers I chose a click-bait title that has no connection to what…

Perfect Timing

One of my friends suggested that we try writing everyday for 1week.So the decision was that we should post something before the end of that day. I was in total confusion, definitely not about the post but about the time. I wasn’t sure what’s end of the day when we have multiple time zones involved.My…

Decoding my Mind

I'm now going to answer the million-dollar question-' what's going on inside your head?' with an exclusive insight into what happens inside Aishu’s brain. Let me rephrase it -' What happens inside Aishu's mind' as some enthupatanis will immediately say, 'We know what's inside a brain... cerebrum, cerebellum, thalamus, Hypothalamus...' 🙄 My brain aka mind…

An Ode to Pondy Bazaar- Madras Day

Amidst the buzzling crowd, on a typical sunny day,Rumbling and panting, 12B made its way.At a lightening speed, before my legs could obey,'Pondy Pondy Pondy...10 Rubeees' came the final say. In the place of five, sat ten;Making more room to fit in eleven; 'Anna..stop' and 'Edam irukka?' echoed throughout,Of course! Share auto it is without…
