Terribly Tiny Tales!


Am fascinated by this interesting page on FB these days. Terribly Tiny Tales. A touching story in 3-4 crisp lines. A tweet sized anecdote. Here is an attempt of my own TTT :)

He was wounded. Lost.
A fresh wisp of air came. A brief interlude.
He recovered, eventually.

But the air got trapped in cobwebs.
They say, collateral damage.

(About the picture - "Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh. One of his most celebrated paintings, a personal favourite. Another one being 'Boats at Saintes Maries'. Was my wall paper for a long long time) Recently I celebrated my birthday. I am officially on the wrong side on 20s now! Friends who were coincidentally here for official conference, had brought cake and we celebrated a little party at midnight! Thank you guys. Love you :) Also, the thing that had occupied every moment of my life, covertly or overtly for the past six months, the chapter of A finally was laid to rest. My inner demons at the end relented and vanquished my mind. And I seriously hope for the good. After an eternity, A sent a polite message hoping all was good with me and wished me happy birthday on my fb wall. And that was the moment when I decided. After months of being in doldrums, I finally made the decision that I should have had made long time back, Nonetheless, all's well that ends

Happy New Year everyone !! I sincerely hope that this new year brings joy, happiness & contentment to all of you in ways you never imagined & take away your sorrows & pain forever !! So the week leading to this new year (the 52nd week of 2011) has been one hell of an experience for me. I OFFICIALLY CAME OUT to my parents a few days ago !!!

I like late nights...There is something peaceful about them and it’s not just the quietness around...Its more than mere absence of shouting, constant chattering, blaring TV etc around me in the hostel I live.. In the nights, when everyone is sleeping, the silent corridors make a spontaneous smile appear on my face, I feel as if there was a mass tied to my chest and now it’s slipping down giving way to a sense of immense relief and it exaggerated the smile even more… I am a night glower...
