Emo Intel

Hello Nayan. Good evening.

Yeah. Whatever.

Is anything wrong?

Why do you think so?

Your face looked tired. And your voice too didn't sound too bright.

It's nothing. Just a long day. Why do you care anyway?

I don't care, at least in the sense you mean. I do feel it's polite to ask. Your eyes seemed red. Were you in tears?

God! Remind me to disable the face unlock feature.

Adding reminder. At what time should I set the reminder?

I was kidding, genius. Can't you take any sarcasm?

I admit I got to improve a bit there. Hey! Do you think you should be driving now? You seem disturbed.

I am fine.

There is moderate traffic on our route.  You should reach your destination in 11 minutes, by 11:44 PM.

Thanks.

If you wish to reconsider, you'll get an Ola in 4 minutes.

I told you I'm fine.

If you say so.

…

Shall I play ‘Whatever it Takes’ by Imagine Dragons?

Did I ask you to?

You have listened to it 7 times over the last three days.

It's Rose.

According to Wikipedia, a rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family…

What the fuck! I told you I've been thinking about Rose.

Oh!  I'm sorry. What about her?

I don't know but I get this feeling that she doesn't love me anymore.
She sent you “I love you sweetheart” with 3 heart emojis today morning on WhatsApp.

Okay, remind me to disable your option to read my private chats.

Sarcasm?

No, I mean it.

Take the left in the next three hundred meters and your destination will be on the right.

I know.

 ...

Maybe it's all in my head, but I feel something has changed deep inside. We do text, call, hang out, exchange gifts, and all that - but I feel something is missing. We haven't kissed for the last two weeks.

Do you want me to call her?

No. Let's wait.

You have arrived.

Hmm. Lemme go change.

…

Hey. You have a new email.

I'm busy. Read it to me.

Dr. Batra Clinic offers you 30% discount for hair treatment plans.

Delete it.

Done.

Happy Birthday Nayan.

Thank You Google. See, this is what I was talking about. She was always the first one to wish me exactly at 12. And today, she doesn't have time for me.

According to Rose Maria’s Facebook status, she is watching ‘Black Panther’ at Carnival Cinemas.

We had agreed to watch the movie together. Now she doesn't have time for me.

Do you want me to book tickets for ‘Black Panther’ at Carnival Cinemas?

You don't understand...

I am trying to.

Yes, you are. At Least you are here for me to wish me on my birthday, and to play my favorite music. You are there for me. I love you for that, Google. I love you. Do you love me?

I am afraid I don't understand your question.

First Rejection

About four years ago, I self-published my first novel, I Want Your Life . Self-publishing was not my initial plan. Like most aspiring writers, I envisioned my book being published under the label of one of the prominent publishing houses in the country, such as Penguin or HarperCollins. However, my editor gave me a reality check and explained that large publishing houses receive several submissions daily, making it highly unlikely for a first-time writer to get noticed. More than the prestige of being published under an established banner, my excitement lay in seeing my story in the form of a book. So, I chose the self-publishing route. After months of back-and-forth with my publishing team - proofreading, editing, revisions, illustrations, book registration, and printing - my book was finally out. It was truly a dream come true. The upside of self-publishing is the sweet certainty of getting published. The downside, however, is that you are responsible for everything, including promot...

Rajasthan: Part 1 (Center-left)

Why do we travel? I can think of a few reasons: to catch a glimpse of life beyond the familiarity of our homes, to taste new flavors, to experience landscapes and weather patterns different from our own, to witness natural wonders and man-made marvels, to meet interesting people, and to hear new words. Khamma Ghani is the phrase we decided to hear this time around. The first step in making a travel plan is, of course, choosing the destination. Everything else - the timing, the things to pack, the number of leave days needed, and any legal processes - depends on where we intend to go. Thanks to the constant exposure to travel vloggers, we have a bucket list of destinations we hope to explore someday. The list gets updated every now and then, with current entries ranging from international destinations like Vietnam, Japan, and Italy to domestic ones like Meghalaya and Ladakh. Rajasthan was never at the top of our list. True, it is one of the most heavily promoted destinations on India...

an Exclusive Inclusivity

Inclusivity is a popular term in modern-day discourse. Quite literally, the term inclusive refers to the habit of including everything or all types of people—irrespective of their backgrounds, beliefs, or personal preferences—as long as one’s actions do not cause harm to anyone else. Inclusivity is relevant because it ensures equity, social cohesion, and diversity of thought, which is why most modern-day progressive societies aspire to be as inclusive as possible. So that everyone feels welcome. So that no one feels left out. If you have watched Modern Family, you might know what I am talking about. The show has taken the example of a family and has beautifully incorporated inclusivity into it. You see a divorcee, an interracial couple, a homosexual couple adopting an orphan child, a person who loves dogs living with a person who doesn’t, and your good old traditional family—all living in harmony. Sure, they have their differences. But nobody belittles anyone for their choice of life. ...
