The Loss of Innocence!
I completed 36 years of existence today. It is a day of mixed feelings for me every year. Not that I am afraid of growing up, being old, or of death; I just get reminded on this day that what I have lost. Yes, this is a bad thing but I miss the past always. ...
Dreams in A Dream Deprived Society

Film Watching Through The Age
I began to consume audio-visual ‘content’ in the 90s. We get together for a week or month in the summer and other vacations. All cousins, uncle aunts spend time celebrating the togetherness for those few days under the roof of our ancestral home. Watching cinema was a big part of this celebration. That was the ...
About Puri
Puri is my home. Workplace is Bhubaneswar. Puri doesn’t have fancy restaurants chinese fast food joints like Bhubaneswar; it doesn’t have malls and multiplexes those available abundantly at the capital; it doesn’t have much trees on the streets like Bhubaneswar; it is dirtier than Bhubaneswar, the slangs here have more natural vibe than the Bhubaneswarians. ...
