Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Style Served HAUTE

    “You think this would work”, she asked. “We can give it a try. Worse comes to worse, we’ll know if it doesn’t”, I replied. And so over a random conversation, the idea to merge Fashion with Personal Bloggers was born. Halleujah for Facebook and Whatsapp! The brainchild of the woman who mixes and matches her…

  • The Sounds of Silence

    My Wandering Wednesday Series. Check the previous posts here. 11th September. It seems to be the day that turns the world around. 2001 saw four co-ordinated terrorist attacks on the WTC- USA. 2013, India, the world awaits the sentence for the four accused in the Nirbhaya Rape Case. There is anger, frustration, despair and hopelessness looming large. Not…

  • The Queen of Tarts

      “Off with her head”, she screamed for the nth time. And, yet another innocent soul was unceremoniously discarded from the pack. Her offense? She liked white roses just the way they were. Poor thing, never lived to see another one blossom. And so it had been. You survived if you did not question, rave…

  • Best Foot Forward

    My Wandering Wednesday Series are dedicated to the flight of my imagination now and then, captured by my camera lens. And then, songs and movies simply fill in the gaps for the right captions!

  • Yesterday, Once More…

    The rains had finally given into the parched earth. Unabashed, purposefully, they fell from the heavens.  A sweet scent from the wet mud filled the air, as the raindrops arranged themselves in a sonata. The neighbourhood was slowly awakening from the muted slumber to a green song. This Sunday morning in early June, so far,…

  • Take My Breath Away!

    The one thing I can’t stand is bad breath! My conversational skills go for a toss when I have someone smelling like the last meal they ate. Somehow, I picture myself being choked on the aroma therapy that I am being subjected to. Worse, I could faint with my mouth wide open and kill the…

  • Prisoner of Thoughts

    It had been 3 months since that fateful day. We never broached the topic. It was almost like the stoic silence surrounding it would make it go away. Batool, my wife’s niece had gone back to India. We hadn’t heard from her since. The phone never rang, and the letters never came. I debated if…
