Read more: The Amalfi CoastMy trip to the Amalfi Coast began with chaos. Less than 48 hours before I was due to fly, I found out I’d got the date wrong. I was supposed to fly on Thursday, not Friday. Panic ensued. There was barely enough time to fix the accommodation, wrap up some work, and pack in between.

A Little Story about Greifswald
I was in Greifswald for 8 days for Greifswald International Students Festival 2012, or GrIStuF 2012, people say. My first impression on Greifswald wasn’t that good. I had the earliest train from Bochum, which by the way, is located in the west Germany. So technically I crossed Germany from the west to the east to…

Blues and a Promise
So the day that I fear the most has come and gone. I remember clearly the look upon your face when your father took photos of you, and the nice tie you wore. I remember how I asked timidly to take a picture with you, and your smiling yes that left me giddy. John Mayer’s…

Saudade
There are too many things about you that I remember perfectly. It’s the way you laugh, the aftershave you spray on your shirt, the smell of your car, the way you get cranky when you’re hungry, the way you call my name, the way you calm me down with such a soothing tone like no…

Farewell, Friends
Today I tweeted, ‘May the rest of this June be as sweet as its beginning. Amen.’ After the perplexity I caused last May, June comes to the rescue and now everything falls into places. Three days to go until I leave and I’ve never felt this blue for leaving my friends behind. I remember a promise…

3.00 am
Thursday, May 31 2012. Hello, Life is funny, isn’t it? Sometimes we pointed at something and spontaneously said, “I love that!”, then looked at each other and smiled. And the next minutes, we made wishes with our pinkies intertwined, and said, “Flip flop!” We ate, and sang, and laughed. And then comes a time when…

This May
I’ve never been an avid fan of May, and to tell the truth, I’m glad that June is coming in two days. May is the mark of a hectic phase, as I usually have exams and sleepless nights with caffeine that I can never resist. Thank God, this May is slightly better than the other…
