My Young Mind

I am not a child anymore, I hear them say. I am young so I need a drink to make sense of things I can’t decipher otherwise. I need to go along, no more questions, as grownups are supposed to know everything. My young mind ought to be full of aspirations and I must constantlyContinue reading “My Young Mind”

A walk through the meadow

Last time I remember, I was into a deep sleep with shallow dreams, something drifted underneath as I was awake with the world asleep. I went somewhere with a bottle of beer & luckily a packet of cigarettes accompanied me. I remember going through a meadow of flowers that I’d thought of dreaming about paradise.Continue reading “A walk through the meadow”

Years in the making

So I turned 21 today, when the clock struck 12 my heart beat was normal, seemed like any other day with a date more frequently known as we mention date of birth in many areas, so it’s unlikely that one forgets her birthday; what’s so special about birthdays? Every year they come over & againContinue reading “Years in the making”

Years passed, someone reminded ‘four in a fury’

Either poets romanticise the extreme ecstasy of being in love or the absolute agony of a loss, but how would i romanticise some years that passed, engulfed in an inevitable loss or the quagmire yet to approach,if the business is to continue as usual!

Time For Nature

With time,our priorities change, from pre cambrian era of nothingness to the industrial era of using nature’s bounty to serve our yearnings of development and now a newer reality of virtuality where machines are getting smarter than the ideas which formed the basis to create them, we have come a long way. From the hindsight,Continue reading “Time For Nature”

Trust Deficit

Sometimes when there seems no reason,no rationality to keep going as the scorching heat would soak the flesh in sweat, making it succumb to the panting, the fulmination of breaths drying slowly! But somehow some tread on leaving excoriation of the suffering behind&toiling till the trust fades. This trust if firm& determined, never fades andContinue reading “Trust Deficit”

The Sun Also Rises

Not a book review, just being unkind to writers by being too kind!

My experiments with love

I’d wonder,how much in love one needs to be to find moon, stars, sun, sky&the infinity in someone’s eyes. How much it takes to fall for just a smile and rewinding it over and again, like a beautiful melody lifting you a bit higher. How much would it be to fall and fall deeper whenContinue reading “My experiments with love”

An ode to the wanderings

Verses in vain!

An ode to the wanderings

To those empty walks I do for my journey to the alternate time lines , I am out on a mission unknown , to jump off the proximity ,in search of food, I step out thinking of nowhere , I am moving over a stillness . Then I reach a place I call doom dimensionContinue reading “An ode to the wanderings”
