Though I can never claim to be such a chronic case like her.The Hero manages to put her to sleep(literally), by his stories and other efforts.Do insomniacs dream? Yes they do. Others do it while asleep. They do so ...  more...

   May 6, 2006    I feel like crying; well I’m actually crying .Why? Well nobody wants to know. Because they don’t know I’m crying. Anyway I don’t think anybody would care even if they did. I’m crying because my mom screamed at me, then my dad did the same for some silly, stupid things that I keep doing. But that’s not the actual reason why I’m cry...  more...

This idea totally foreign to the history of Indi...  more...

On my way, last morning, I saw a man, lying dead on the dusty median. He was stiff, still, as only a dead person can be. He had been beaten to death, sometime between the day before and last morning.
