Horror is not something we create, nor is it something that jumps out of a closet in a dark room at an ungodly hour. Horror is not something which always advertises its presence with things falling down, windows banging shut or lights going off. It is something far more subtle, more real, more sinister like your shadow, imagine if it were to grow in length every day even if you stood at the same spot, at the same time of the day and when the lighting is simila
Horror is not something we create, nor is it something that jumps out of a closet in a dark room at an ungodly hour. Horror is not something which always advertises its presence with things falling down, windows banging shut or lights going off. It is something far more subtle, more real, more sinister like your shadow, imagine if it were to grow in length every day even if you stood at the same spot, at the same time of the day and when the lighting is similar.
The shadow that grows like a cloak on your back on a day by day basis proportionate to the debauchery and evil you engage in, until it grows to such an extent that it engulfs you, sunlight is blotted out of your life and you are condemned to live in eternal darkness, is the essence of horror. Something that enters your life as a small vice, stays on as a companion, then grows as a master in whose clutches you are until it obliterates “you”. Horror is that which will sink deep roots into your subconscious and change you from within to such an extent that you will appear alien to yourself.

“Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself.”
Life is a journey that takes you through all kinds of trials and tribulations which are beyond your control; all you can do is to respond to it.
Over a period of time the intensity of feelings and emotions fade and the memory becomes lighter. At such a time you may be able to smile, if not laugh aloud, when you recapitulate those bygone days. Finally “Equanimity” dawns on you in your late 50s and you come to realize that “There is a God who takes care of those who go to him, through all the trials and tribulations”.
Handi Biryani & A Wedding Suit is an enchanting and enthralling journey through life belonging to the tumultuous 80s, 90s and the beginning of the millennium, coming out of the author’s memory, fresh and aromatic as south Indian filter coffee.
