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)

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)
