Fiction Fragment games?

3 words anyone? A few stories perhaps… if nothing else.

PS – This is how it works. You give me three words that pop into your head – and I try and weave them into a very short story. :)

I drown my sleepiness in half-glassful of tea.

Test match

“The secret to watching test matches is to know when to when to have a nap.”- great-uncle who passed away but has left me the legacy of love for a test match.

Did anyone notice?

That this blog has a new look? I got sick of the previous look and decided to blame my lack of creativity on the blog design … rather than my laziness. :)

Personal Ads

What a wonderful way to kill time. Found this lovely blog called Advertising for Love via Marginal Revolution.

Incredible stuff. Yes, why indeed do people send out missives to others when the chance of being read is so low?

In Istanbul

This city must be a cartographer’s delight. Istanbul is unlike any other city I’ve been to. Though it appears to have snatched tiny bits of other cities’ souls.

In Istanbul, I’ve become the tourist that I usually love to make a mockery of. My mouth is constantly open, my jaw perpetually falling, my desire to buy souvenirs and junk never ending. I am also wedded to my tourist guide book.

It’s a vast city, and the shopkeepers constantly call out to you. They try to make you halt by first asking if you’re Indian. And then rattling Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. (Sometimes even Indira Gandhi and Hema Malini).

There’s more to this city than these ancient parts. But for now, I am dazzled by them.

(in a different post I may talk about the dazzlement caused by the amazing visit to a Turkish bath).
