Sisyphus without his boulder!

I seldom write anymore, not because I don't want to, mostly because I can't. I think it was because of one of two things: all the unfinished drafts I have in this blog and even the last blog post I have in this blog, everything feels so low effort to me. There is no depth in it, as if there was no life in what I was writing, and I know it's true. Or the fact that I don't think it matters. Life is at an impasse, and I was thinking it was just for me, but it turns out that's not really the case. I was talking to one of my close friends/mentors, and he was super depressed about it as well. He said, and I quote, "It's as if life has no volatility anymore, nothing is exciting. It's like we are in low IV markets." I couldn't agree more with him. There are signs which point to impending doom, and we are acting as blind as we always have been about it. I don't think the general populace understands how bad things are, which is worrying. The world w...

3rd February 2026, that’s when I’m writing this, in the backseat of an auto on the way to the bus stop to go back to Kerala. Bangalore was always a mixed bag for me; I was never really fond of the place. Think of a small town boy, who didn’t know what traffic was, what bad roads were, and what crowds were, being here in the ever-developing Bangalore! I mean, the last time I came here, the place ended in Whitefield. Now it’s almost till Tamil Nadu. This time I came here to chill. Unlike all the other times when I came to visit somebody, this time I was actually just here to relax. All thanks to the little-known band Linkin Park coming to India for the first time ever! I almost forgot to keep you occupied while reading whatever this is, you can play this song . The entire trip just sent me on a time jump. The emotions I have right now are the same ones I had when I was quite young and went to visit my relatives. You know the feeling where you know you are here, safe, with family, with pe...

Happy new year, people. Wishing everyone a happy 2026. And, this cute whatever this is turned 1, yey!  I have a lot in my drafts for this blogger. I couldn't bring myself to write anymore since Joel left; things have changed so much. A lot of things have happened, and I have changed a lot too, a whole lot more than I thought.  Well, anyways, I seem to have refound that vigor in life that I lost, and I thought I'd write and try and get something published before the newfound vigor goes away. As always, to keep you grooving, you need to have a song for the blog. The song for the blog is this .  Things were not looking all hunky-dory at the end of 2025, but then my folks left for a month, leaving me alone in a huge home for a month, and I honestly think that was the best thing that could have happened to me this whole year. It was like being forced to recalibrate yourself.  I always had people around me; if it was not Joel, it was always someone else. Then I made my cir...
