This Summer

The Hotchpotch ― This summer was incredible and terrible and all things between. This summer was day dreams, nightmares, games, and tears. I fell in and out of love, broke up, bought books, read them, rearranged my shelf, gorged on chips, fell sick, recovered,... (More)

R-Day

The Hotchpotch ― This week has been so full of rejections, I think I should celebrate the first Sunday of every August as R-Day; celebrations cheer me up. Vuvuzelas, string sprays, fizzy drinks, chips, and big smiles will hopefully be there next year. Filed under:... (More)

Rejectionville

The Hotchpotch ― Rejectionville is an unhappy, metropolitan city where there is no one who empathises with you, and in their opinion you deserve all this indifference and much more for the magnitude of your unskilfulness. People here don’t give a dime about... (More)

In Slowdom

The Hotchpotch ― I am a little too paranoid about finishing a book in two days, and if it's extremely large and I am too busy, then I forgive myself for taking as long as a week. I feel ashamed to carry the same book to class or the park or anywhere where someone may... (More)

Blindness

The Hotchpotch ― People, myself included, are selectively blind; we see what we want to and when what we don’t want to lands before us, we swerve round it. Okay wait. We don’t swerve round it; we walk through it as though it doesn’t exist. A couple... (More)

My Tryst with Arabic

The Hotchpotch ― Like drawing my index finger along parched, pirouetting sands leaping of its bed and landing on my head, I draw the ḥ: her belly curving out–the graceful Moroccan dancer that she is. I can’t say her name, neither when she is alone nor... (More)

Bad Dreams, Devilry, and Omens

The Hotchpotch ― Young Goodman Brown, which author Nathaniel Hawthorne couldn’t have written with ease, is an exploration of human shortcomings and people’s tendencies to sin per se. Very Gothic, this seemingly blasphemous short story may have caused a... (More)

From Creative Writing Class

Excuse My Caustic Tone.

Good vs Bad

The Hotchpotch ― It’s easier to be bad than to be good. It’s easier to understand why someone would be bad than why someone would be good. Which is why I empathise with Napolean from Orwell’s Animal Farm. If we were to be … Continue reading &... (More)
