Living on a shoestring budget in a city of dreams…
The article caught my eye as mer & I (and later on, ailin too) were talking about how we all wanted to go to the US for our graduate degrees in 2-3 years’ time. Coincidentally, without any prior discussions whatsoever, we are all targeting the same [...]

An unpleasantly angsty chat with yeesh (sparked off by my all-too-preponderant feelings of inadequacy) led to her reminding me of the quote below – one which i loved ever since i read the book & watched the movie.
What does it mean when a quote keeps returning to your life, each time carrying as much meaning [...]

This marks the first time that I have seen so many consecutive “failed“s in my life.

I hate the feeling of being compared to an alternative. It sparks off a waterfall of self-despise revolving around how insufficient i feel. I’ll never be as smart/smart enough. I’ll never be as pretty/pretty enough. I’ll never be as good/good enough. I’ll never live up to your standards nor mine. I’ll never be more than [...]
Late Night Email

I felt like someone had kicked me in the gut when I read that one harmless sentence. Oh yes, it would have been nice if you had told me earlier (even though I know it wouldn’t have made any difference). It just provides a strange sort of comfort to know, rather than being left [...]
