Daydreambeliever: Travel Notes - I
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2014/07/travel-notes-i.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Travel Notes - I. Our first stop was Boston, Massachusetts. As we disembarked from the bus and went into the bus depot, the first conversation I overheard went thus:. Police officer/ Security Guy. Looking at a Buddhist monk who hurried past] Is that the Delei Lama? I think so.Yeah, I think so. But I don't think he'd be taking a bus here. They were both completely serious. So much for first impressions. My friend and I exchanged looks of horror - and burst out laughing. Harvard Uni...

Daydreambeliever: February 2010

Thursday, February 11, 2010. Tell me, tell me,. What makes love such an ache and pain? Tell me what makes. Love such an ache and pain? It takes you and it breaks you -. But you got to love again. Langston Hughes, "Love Again Blues". And anyway, with all the little disagreements and nitpicking moments that a relationship inevitably goes through, I felt love itself was perhaps a wee bit overrated. Or so I thought. Just because I loves you -. That's de reason why. My soul is full of color.

Daydreambeliever: March 2010
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! If you search for tenderness. It isn't hard to find. You can have the love you need to live. But if you look for truthfulness. You might just as well be blind. It always seems to be so hard to give. Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. Honesty' - Billy Joel). When is it ok to lie? Are there special circumstances in which lying is acceptable? What about our past? On the flip s...

Daydreambeliever: May 2012
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 12, 2012. 1 'Their' and 'There' and sometimes, even 'They're'. Also 'its' and 'it's'. 2 Using a phrase such as "He was one of the most famous writer. 3 Combining two words - "infact", "inorder", "alot", etc. 4 Confusing like-sounding words - the latest paper I checked kept saying "imagery" for "imaginary"! 5 Unnecessary use of the apostrophe. "She always keep's her room tidy.". Before she marries Nick." Someone else has also written "leaved". My obsession with the correct usage of the gramm...

Daydreambeliever: One More Tale
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2014/08/one-more-tale.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Romeo in relentless pursuit. Will not consider denial. The tides beat mercilessly. Upon the shore;. The rocks become weary. I contemplate upon the power of water. This thing that silences me. Words were once my escape. Now they mock, tantalize, elude. The blue of my summer sky. Must be indigo where you are. The other day you asked. Why I do not write anymore. Maybe I am happy -. Misery was always my muse. But I sink into misery. When I cannot have my verses. My objet petit a.

Daydreambeliever: September 2012
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 5, 2012. I refuse to be cynical about Teachers' Day. So here is me wishing a happy Teachers' Day to -. Out of her own pocket. She hooked me on Victorian fiction for life. What an amazing lady - I hope she's been blessed, wherever she is. Miss Tuni Gill at St. Mary's College, who made us stage Pygmallion. Or more precisely, My Fair Lady. Prof Esther Syiem, who always treats students with courtesy and respect. She shows that being a teacher isn't all about scaring people and imposi...

Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Of Subways and Voices. The boroughs of New York are connected with an impressive network of underground trains - the subway system - that take you almost anywhere you want to go, any time, night or day. Our train, the one that took us downtown, was the A train. Oh, the A train! What sights, and smells, and visions, and experiences I had on the A train. Let me leave it at that.

Daydreambeliever: When You Spoke
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2015/08/when-you-spoke.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. When last you spoke. You spoke of times long gone,. You spoke of Bangkok,. You disarmed with laughter -. That sound was alien too long. Did you know somehow,. None more would be forthcoming,. The way you laughed that day? Memories are tricky;. On good days they bring remembrance. Of golden lockets from Kuala Lumpur. Shaped into a heart. Now long lost;. The sound of mortar and pestle. Spices, herbs, hearts;. On good days you remember. A new car with meaning in its numbers,.

Sunday, March 13, 2011. Once again, I apologize if this sounds dry and academic; it's an ongoing project that I am working on, a paper as yet incomplete. At the risk of sounding pompous, it hasn't been published yet, so I would appreciate discretion.It's too long, so I've shortened it as much as possible). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Daydreambeliever: April 2014
http://mizdaydreambeliever.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. And then friends in the East Coast who are ahead of us by three hours. When people in PST finally began wishing me, it was beginning to feel anticlimactic! Apart from the many, many wishes on my facebook wall, I had friends and family remembering me and sending their blessings via whatsapp, and texts, not to mention the calls I received from assorted locations. Including the one person I thought I would not be hearing from. Cliches are cliches for a reason, and it is true that whe...
