Explanation
Thank you for reading my Quick Tale.
For all those of you who’ve mailed in, and those who’ve been harboring the suspicion and afraid to ask, I am definitely, and most categorically not into “those” kinda kinks.
‘Tis true, I like to flavour my writings with what happens in my life, but that particular post was an attempt at reusing some words from my older post and build up to a different ending.
Quick Tale #3
He lay there, prone and exposed. Splayed like a lizard fallen from the ceiling. Stretched and tied, and about to be tortured. And then the pain started. Like a lake rippling, the pain made its way through every nerve to his brain. Eating away all his desire. Till only the pain, and its realisation existed. Pure, unadulterated pain.

Nirantar
Nirantar is a monthly blog-zine in Hindi. With Debashish behind it, you can bet it will have a very interesting selection of articles and views on about everything. And that it will be a great success.
All this preamble is to ease you gently into the fact that Nirantar now has an article of mine. Reading it, I was transported back to school, and in classroom 6f, where my Hindi teacher taught me Kabir’s Dohas in a thick Tamil accent.

Thanks Deb, and more importantly, Raman Kaul for a brilliant job.
