“This will be a leap into our new (separate) lives”, the ex-husband said. Well what a damn huge leap that was. Literally. It was supposed to be a surprise wedding anniversary gift. Instead, it turned out to be an event to officially mark our separation. Not to worry, I won’t bore you with the emo…

by Gay Mitra - February 25, 2018February 27, 20180

Reeling from lack of rest over the past 14 hours (an intercontinental flight, a restaurant visit for a review — which was really more like a drinking spree than a degustation — that lasted until past four in the morn, an hour of sleep, and a battle with EDSA’s morning rush hour traffic), I wearily…

by Gay Mitra - September 23, 20152

Me boots thrashed through hay. The earth beneath them, mushy. Clumps of soil clung onto my sole as I made my way across the field. It was already drizzling, and the dark canopy of clouds hovering above indicated a possibility of a downpour. Ahead of us were two women in kirtles — with capes protecting…

by Gay Mitra - January 14, 2015January 22, 20152

“Coming through!”, a voice bellowed from behind. I instinctively jumped out of the way. A runner bathing in her own sweat rushed past. Judging by the way her race number painted on her arm was smudged, I assumed she had been at it for a while. It was barely eight in the morn yet Sarbay…

Oaxaca, Mexico: Christmas Multimedia Show 2011

by Gay Mitra - August 27, 2014August 27, 20140

My second Christmas away from home. Distance-wise, I was about half a globe away. Heart-wise, I’d say it felt like I never left. Before me was the familiar scene of families, each member in their Sunday best, piling into the pews. Inside Oaxaca’s Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (Catedral Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora…
