An Accolade to Talent (or the lack of it)
What is this need to mimicEvery good song that has ever been sung,Repeat, every idea that resonates with you at any level. Draw or paint againWhat’s been done already Either at the hand of an artistOr by God HimselfWhat is this obsession With creation and more so with recreation But is anything truly original?Hasn’t it…

A Problem to Every Solution
‘Solution’ when it means; to solveNeeds to go obsolete.Wasn’t language meant to beA means to communicate,To explain and articulate,Whatever it is that we feel? We kept on inventingWords over wordsIn the pursuit of sayingWhat this aching heart feltAnd what the senses sensed,Or the thoughts so clear,You could see right through themOr the hazy dream now…

Random Poem
Random Poem (28–09–2020) I hate life, as all my friends will tell you, my lover will vouch for it so and my family has an inkling too. But it is the mundaneness of it, that I hate. This never-ending monotony, that even when it breaks, resorts to its routine of innumerable centuries That is what I find exhausting,and tiring and burdensome.This nothingness,…

Betrayal of the Betrayed
Some days, the life stands at a still. The sun slowly melts into the coldness of night. One scene shifts into another and nothing happens. You were melancholic at point A and you stay that at point B. You just keep looking at the time changing — indifferent to its passage. It can start moving…

A Price to Pay
Note: SPOILER ALERT for The Stranger, Slaughterhouse-Five, Rumplestiltskin and The Bell Jar You see a flawed system for so long you become comfortable with it. You accept the life you are given. You even stop pointing out what is wrong and unjust. You lose hope. You borrow Vonnegut’s philosophy of, ‘so it goes’ and respond…

Tell Me a Story…
Hello peeps! Sorry for being MIA for so long. But the promise of a story still stands. It is not much of story and more of a jumbled up thoughts of a disturbed mind on a long sleepless night. Without further ado, here you go: The Miracle of a Dream She was standing in a…

My Entangled Thoughts
I can’t speak for other people because their minds are not on the list of places I had checked into but my own thoughts, I have visited often. Thus, I know the questions that arrive in this desolate place I call my brain. They used to be simpler and consulting a parent, a friend or…

“A Life of Pretense”
I laugh a lot. People take me for a jolly person. it is rather sad that 90% of my giggles are to please my fellows only. I do not restrict my insincere show of emotions to laughing. I have cried for others too. Some of my tears were genuine, others? not so much! If I ever…
