The Aftermath of Haiyan
The wind wails outside.
It is three o’ clock in the morning and sleep had forsaken me, eluded me and flew away with the unabashed wrath of the gust.
I got up from bed. I made my tea, and gave up any thoughts of going back to sleep.
Gale, as I contemptuously call her—this tempestuous windstorm of an irritatingly epic proportion—raps at the window and begged to be let in at this ungodly hour, and wh Read more of this blog post »

“(As to how the Gatekeeper came to life)
Once a bookworm, always a bookworm.
But inspiration starts once that lowly worm crawls up your brain; it would be too difficult to contain and all hell breaks loose, and that otherwise blank piece of paper becomes its battleground, teeming with chicken-scratch scribbles of what was going on in that nook that used to be your secret sanctuary. You have no choice but just to concede, and surrender to its call to breathe life into a name.”

“Unlike the wizened professor Albus Dumbledore, we have no basin filled with water to rest our overflowing thoughts into. The notebook is our Pensieve. But it would be much, MUCH easier if that pensieve can follow us wherever, even in the shelter of a lavender scented bathroom, because that's when it usually hits, that elusive treasure trove of bright light bulbs suddenly switching on at the wrong time, one after another.”

“Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary-makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground.”
