http://bumblingbanter.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The To Do List. 31 December, 2013. Another year of growing up. Of letting go and. Trying to say no. Of nurturing old friendships. Of redrawing personal boundaries and delving deep. Of reading binges and Orwell. Of calm and confusion. Of completing a degree and promising to never stop learning. Of inspiring travel and blue days. Of silences and conversations. Here's to the Great Unknown. Happy New Year! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). From the Book I Will Never Write. Revelations at 3 am.

banter and blah blah: On Writing and Identity
http://bumblingbanter.blogspot.com/2014/01/on-writing-and-identity.html
The To Do List. 04 January, 2014. On Writing and Identity. The first time I encountered Orwell I was 13 years old. I picked up Animal Farm thinking it was a story of a farm and finished it with that notion intact. All undertones, subtle and otherwise, were lost on my teen brain. Thankfully, over the years I revisited Orwell and unpeeled layers, igniting my fascination with his writing and person. And England on England. It mean to be English. But as Orwell says:. Are there really such things as nations?

The To Do List. 10 April, 2014. Friendly Bear Via Sarajea. She stuffed her bag under the seat, fidgeted till she found her spot in the seat and then. Without notice, slipped her hand into his. He was still undecided whether he liked. Holding her hand or not. But while he was deciding, he. Didn't mind doing it anyway. Her hands had a needy quality about them. Always wanting to be held, sweating into a. Clammy mess like awkward teenagers, the stubby fingers and chewed nails unsure in. Links to this post.

The To Do List. 13 January, 2015. Ineffability or What I feel When You Open the Door. My breath is caught. Between the ringing of the doorbell. And the moment before. The door creaks open. When your face, so. A funny flip flips. My mind meddles with my heart. It is beautiful to me, your face. In ways no one (not even me). And we ignore this minute miracle. In the hope of larger marvels. My arrival acknowledged by. A flicker in your eyes. An unformed smile skirting your lips. I answer by walking past.
