Persistence

Brought to life with a cry of excitement, we are exposed to a world full of inexplicable irregularities, born and raised to become a hero, we are surrounded with things that mystify those odd peculiarities.

Years travel by and our comprehension progresses far beyond our own imaginations, delving deep into the shadows we get lost to find out that sole purpose of our fascinations.

We search, we think, we panic, and we cry till our tiredness hugs us with its dominant ambience, and then awakens our soul to continue that eternal quest with an attitude befitting the champions.

We start from zero as a giant ball of exuberance, to once again attain the knowledge of those undefined laws, but nothing changes and all we are left is to count our slightest of flaws.

But the very next moment, we stand up with all our strength and acumen, daring the ferocious tests of patience we unleash the power of a superhuman.

Though victory is not a guarantee and this we realize en route the end, but one thing remains with us forever and that is our inner ‘trying friend’.

Flyover

"316" written in a yellow box on this pillar. The pillar is of no use to public, so why was it made? Or was it really made for us? No... I don't think so. The government can't be so generous to anybody. I wonder where has all that money gone - Those crores wasted on this flyover. But this wastage has eventually given me my house. A blue plastic sheet covering my body against the rain. I don't think this is effective at all. But do I even have options?  It was better in the village. I had home there. But here, I have no home, no shelter. Nobody. Nobody to be with me and my emotional turmoil. Looking at her father sitting on a dirty mat and staring blankly at the pillar. M y daughter, what does she think of me? Is she still proud of me? By the way, I am proud of her because she is here for me when I need someone the most. Her presence is enough to pass the remaining life blissfully. But even she looks tired: I can see blackness under her eyes - maybe becau...

I was lost

Though I was there but I wasn’t; though I was laughing but I wasn’t; though I could hear you talking about your grievances but I couldn’t; though I was watching a video with you but I wasn’t; though you demanded my full attention but I couldn’t, and though you thought I was happy living alone but unfortunately I wasn’t.  I let time fly by like an unnerving entity; I let myself indulge in acts which hampered my dignity; I cried for reasons where I could’ve avoided it; I sat in silence but with peace devoid of it; I felt creativity pushing its pistons on me and I found myself running far away from me. I embraced laziness as if it were my only love; I slipped past as its slave into its dirty gloves; I regretted my current slavery yet I was helpless; I didn’t feel like repelling as I loved its ominous calmness;  I failed to understand whether it was a boon or a bane but deep down I knew, wasting this time would later give me much pain. - 2016

Call me deranged

How do people talk about Death? feel it like a with a gun-shot in their ears? or like, being pushed in front of a speeding train, getting crushed under it at the base of the platform? or like, embracing the front of a car with a loud thud? at the moment they see themselves dying? ... .... they at least do this: feel a knife creep into their heart? no! yeah, no. what only I feel about Death. can they pinch in the chest do they gasp ok, I think no? how can they! because that's - 2018
