Why work for an ailing company?

Why work for an ailing company?

Businesses fail, and they bring down their employees with them but working for an ailing company is not all blood, sweat & tears gone into the dustbin. This doesn’t apply to this post though – And it’s not about Airlift (Incase you don’t know Airlift was a Unicorn-to-be; but they went bust) Always and i repeat always Google the company before you interview and sign an offer with a company. This…

Book Review: Never Let Me Go ~ Kazuo Ishiguro

Book Review: Never Let Me Go ~ Kazuo Ishiguro

To be honest i read this book right after I finished The Bell Jar & A Little Life and it failed to deliver the the emotional trauma that was gut-wrenchingly part of the two earlier books. But that didn’t mean that this book lacked it’s own punch – it brought it up in the questions of morality of this 21st century’s scientific exploits, no wonder human’s banned cloning, we would have gone on to…

Book Review: "Pachinko" by Min Jin Lee

Book Review: “Pachinko” by Min Jin Lee

Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit answered to, in strongest conjuration.—Charles Dickens

This is how “Pachinko” begins and leaves you to guess what home is, till it’s last page.

Lee’s novel speaks of the identity crisis, the clash of cultures & traditions in the midst of geopolitical shifts. It reveals the suffering of people as…

1000 miles per hour

1000 miles per hour

The world is ending,

take a slow spin in your office chair,

the world is ending.

keeping punching into excel sheets.

Office group chats,

Boomers, can’t relate.

Now there’s a pandemic,

haven’t seen the sun in two months.

Video calls, changing backgrounds,

HR; question marks?.

Not much of a life.

The world is ending,

I don’t have my chair to take a slow spin in.

Twenty-Four;24

This is something i wrote in anticipation of my 24th Birthday this year, as i aspired for change and new beginnings; doesn’t matter the world came to a stand still, i’ll still hope for better days.

Feels like old enough to get married, To my mum. And here I am congratulating myself on upgrading to a dumber version of myself. Birthday on a Monday, On a WFH Workweek,in quarantine. Tired,…

Achru.

It’s 12 am in the night. The air is still, and the June heat is stifling people in their sleep. The whole village is pitch black, the light has gone out, load shedding is at its peak in the country, it’s 2010.

The dogs bark in the far-off distance but that’s not the only noise i hear in the stillness of night as i lay on my back on a charpai under a clear sky staring out at the stars. I can’t…

Modern-day Impartial Journalism?

I wave at you from this side of the border,

Like your tweets,

Agree with you on peace, equality & humanity,

That everything can be solved diplomatically.

From this side of the border.

  From the comfort of my cozy home,

Trend a few #hashtags,

Put up a few blog posts,

Received a notification from my bank,

A couple of dollars,

Credited to my account.

  Think about what i am doing to save the world.

Damn you!

(Sometimes all of us feel low & nothing helps, not family not friends. Maybe they are the cause of it. But it’s okay you’ll get out of it. Don’t hate them. So this is to family & maybe you the reader.)It feels like we broke into 2 million pieces, That nothing, no one can can ever, Put us back together again. Faults & fights, Nothing ever will make sense again. I am sorry. I can’t trust you, The…

Prose & Poetry: Nana's love

Prose & Poetry: Nana’s love

There’s that perpetual sadness, In the silence. You have been gone forever But it lingers. The mynah’s call-out in the distance, I hear a peacock screech, Sitting on that far brickwall in the farm. It’s sapphire coat glistening in the dying sun. That place where you set up a swing has been taken over by weeds. The swing isn’t there. Neither are the pools we dug for the birds . The trees you’d…
