Writer's Journal

Writing does not always begin with a blank page.

Sometimes it begins with a memory.
Sometimes with a conversation.
Sometimes with an absurd little incident that refuses to leave the mind alone.

And sometimes, a story simply arrives and insists on being written.

This journal is a space where Sarachchandra shares the thoughts, observations, memories and experiences that find their way into his writing.

What You Will Find Here

  • Reflections on writing and storytelling

  • The stories behind the stories

  • Observations from everyday life

  • Literary thoughts and experiments

  • Humour and human contradictions

  • Notes from the journey of becoming a better writer

Some entries may be serious.

Some may be mischievous.

A few may even make you wonder why they were written in the first place.

That is part of the fun.

Welcome to the writer's desk.

A question can become an essay. And sometimes, an image can say what words cannot. That is the spirit behind this blog. The Books section brings together my published works and the stories behind them. Stories and Poetry are spaces f...
