Spiderman Speaks: July 2009
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 12, 2009. The Curse of Friendship. The lady comes back with prophecies made long time back only to prove that she was right. For all the hours and minutes spent trying to challenge age old wisdom it was a battle I was destined to lose. The only critical factor was time. At thirteen, the world is different. Realism hardly sets in at that time and vision is limited to the next 100 yards. I guess that is what my mother used to warn me of. Monday, July 06, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am ...

Spiderman Speaks: October 2014
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 18, 2014. It is fashionable these days for parents to write letters to their children articulating what they want their kids to know at some point of time in life. I consider myself to be extremely fashionable and hence. Academic brilliance for example. Would we be fine if she is unbeatable at social science and average across the other subjects? Most of us would find it horrifying if our children are not good at science and would probably go into a state of depression if numbers do not...

Spiderman Speaks: January 2010
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. For most part it was a one-sided affair. Contrary to the general rule which has governed my life, out here I was fortunate - supremely fortunate. When you are loved without preconditions, and only loved and hardly chided or disciplined and even saved from the occasional justified wrath of your mother, then you know that you are lucky. It made me realize that the terms of love and respect might not always rest with equality, that being together in peace needed nothing except fait...

Spiderman Speaks: December 2009
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 17, 2009. Why is it that I feel that this makes everything right? Everything. All of that I have been through, all of those small battles which I lost and those big ones I did not win. Why is it that I am not scared but excited about something I do not even have an iota of an idea but assured of the outcome? And why on fucking earth do I keep on smiling for no rhyme or reason staring into blank space, thinking of nothing, just, just feeling happy? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Spiderman Speaks: September 2009
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. The Question of Identity. One of the questions which haunt us all through our formative years would be "Who am I? I have seen people do all sorts of things to establish that. It makes for amazing study of the psychology of human beings. I have always been fascinated by the people around me. Just by being with them, following every action of theirs gave me a glimpse of what they are going through, what is bothering them and what makes them. Rebel Without a Cause. The most natur...

Spiderman Speaks: November 2009
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. What do I want and what do I need? Till I was 23, when most of the decisions of my life went by conventions, I did not have to think. Life was superb. Apart from the occasional pangs of insecurity, I was happy. Thought less. Enjoyed stupid movies which I absolutely abhor now. Played sports to my heart's content. Loafed around with friends. Could not have had a better life. Monday, November 16, 2009. Actually I refuse to play by the rules of the game. Specially when it co...

Spiderman Speaks: April 2010
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. It hurts. And you are filled with a sense of wastage. So, how does this equate out? Does this ever stop us from making the same mistakes again? Does this make us more sensitive and teach us to appreciate love as and when we see and feel it? The feeling of deja-vu is not one which is gratifying irrespective of which end of the spectrum you are at and in both cases, you should be more careful of losing out on the wonderful touch of love because of your inability to appreciate it.

Spiderman Speaks: July 2012
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. My assertion to the title of the post is contrary to the general perception. While the calendar states I am somewhere close to 30s (and this is a conservative view, I am taking) but the mind refuses to accept the stark reality. In short, I had no time. There were exactly 42,351 things to be done. Life was trying to keep pace with me. And failing every day. Probably its because of the incredible people I had in my life at that time. My friends.

Spiderman Speaks: Radhika Part 3
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/03/radhika-part-3.html
Saturday, March 21, 2015. What will be your first memory? Mine was my first day at school. The first five years has been a complete washout. Which means, right now, while you will be every bit a part of our memory, we will not be. But something of these 5 years will stay on. In what form or fashion is not discernible yet. And we will never know. Just as my parents have not. Just as you will not, when your time comes. If I were to judge by history, it is unlikely that it will be a convincing victory.

Spiderman Speaks: February 2011
http://spidermanspeaks.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 08, 2011. My first brush with him was when I was twelve. Way too young to even understand with intensity any of the emotions he could invoke. Yet Abhas Kumar Ganguly or known to most as Kishore Kumar has had a profound impact on my early years. I was besotted by the haunting aspect of his voice and was completely taken in by his ability to transform the mood I was in just by listening to him. Koi Hota Jisko Apna. Aye Tum Yaad Mujhe. The answer is not in the songs. Maybe the answer i...
