Beauty
Sri City : In the beginning, Death did not despise life. Hatred requires attention and Death had never truly looked or cared enough. Lives came to him like falling leaves, innumerable and indistinct, their edges already curling towards silence. He did not rush them, nor did he linger. He simply arrived when the thread grew thin and severed it with hands older than time itself. He had witnessed the first breath ever drawn and the last star yet to dim, and in all that vastness,
Lost in Translation
Sri City : A few months ago, I was watching “Four Seasons,” a contemporary comedy-drama series on Netflix, loosely inspired by Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons.’ The show does not retell Vivaldi, it does not even meaningfully quote him. Instead, the music operates as an ambient emotional grammar, coding spring as flirtation, winter as emotional withdrawal, autumn as midlife reckoning, and so on. What interested me was not whether the show was “faithful” to Vivaldi, but how co


Preserving or Prolonging?

As part of the project, I had to speak with some of the artisans present there about their work and livelihood. One of the artisans present was a woman from Jammu, who was selling woolen stoles with Kashmiri

Sri City: Life 5 – The Refugee I woke inside a man His stomach clawed at itself with hunger His lips cracked dry as old stone His feet were torn from walking too far on ground that never ended Around him lay the wreckage of what once had been a village Charred walls leaning like broken ribs Smoke still clinging to the air though the fire had died long ago Bodies half buried under dust Some small some still clutching rags of clothing that had once been loved His arms carried n


Rites of Passage
Source : The Indian Express She stands looming over me, and I feel the tic tac graze my scalp. The grasp is firm, the callused hand balances my head from teetering back. She adorns a saree, it is tamarind tinged. Two black beads; and a maroon dot stare at me, with intent. She appraises me, having secured the jet-blackness of my untamed hair, which she nurses religiously with home ground shikakai . My eyes sting at the seams, and I feel my cheeks wrinkled and puffy. I shuffle
Small Thing Called Comfort
5 November, 2025 You have not been doing well recently, and I can't find it in me to reach out. I believe even if I were to show up one sunny morning, with baskets of fruits and boxes of sandesh (a Bengali sweet) , with a splitting grin and hair all oiled up, you would turn me away. It is not to say that I despise you now, or if ever. I don’t think feelings are that linear. But I do admire you. I even hope to be you someday. Probably not in the same ways you’d like. You’ve do

Sri City: I died in silence No grand finale no last words no mourning faces leaning over my bed One moment I was asleep and the next I was somewhere else It was not heaven not hell not the endless black of nothing It was a hollow place A corridor that had no walls and yet I felt confined Like being buried alive in air That was where I met him He was tall and bent slightly forward as if always laughing at a joke only he understood His eyes were pale as glass and his mouth stre

Stories and opinions barrage us from phones, laptops, and conversations, amplified by social media platforms like X, Instagr

Make India Meme Again
Sri City: There is a particular unease that comes with living in today’s India, a democracy that proudly calls itself the “world’s largest,” yet increasingly defines itself by identifying and excluding its supposed enemies within. I recently read Anand Teltumbde’s essay in The Wire , “India, a Country of Anti-Nationals,” and was struck by the clarity with which it exposes the new architecture of this exclusion. In a nation that once built upon pluralism and argumentation, t
