Everyday Stories, Lived

Life

  • A day’s visit to your dentist

    It’s incredible how many things could go on inside your mouth when visiting your dentist. I am not an expert, so I don’t know what things are precisely called, but lying down on the seat felt like this: Water jet here, water suction there, hands everywhere going in and out of your mouth, and lights… Read more

  • The time we hold dearly

    The more we synchronize ourselves with the time in clocks, the more we fall out of sync with our own bodies and the world around us. The Tyranny Of Time Don’t you want to break free out of the dictate of time, sometimes? I do. The thing is, I’m born into a family that eats… Read more

    We celebrate wins, whether big or small. And as we bask ourselves in the joy of achieving something we consider worthwhile, all we remember is that we made it through.

    I met a person who explained why she didn’t want to get vaccinated. And yes, the reason is simply that she heard a story about another person whose life was cut short “because that person got vaccinated.” Would I know whether it’s true or merely a coincidence?

  • In the middle of the busy city road

    I saw a man on the street, lying facedown in the middle of the busy city road. No, I did not exactly see how it happened. But I saw the aftermath of what it’s like to drive on a rainy day, a driver running straight to the man he just hit, hoping that when he… Read more
