Cannot Engine
98.5% of our DNA is junk, it is the rest that makes me a clunk. 5% of the Universe is visible to us whatever remains is darkness. And then there is sunlight 1% used by plants to live and photosynthesize. Even much less of it becomes biomass moving through the cycle of life. Plenty of sperms and menstrual blood go down the drain with faeces and worms; remnants of Mama’sdelicious…

Unmovable
One screen after another,I ogle.For all kind of riff raff,I google. Sometimes I just sit and wait,For something to occur.Alas, nothing ever happens.It is like a halting curse.If ever there is a stir,It is either too slow or terse. There are no experiences anymore,Not in the true sense of the word.It all seems too little,…

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…

Would you Believe You?
Would you believe You If You told youThat You were happy. If You walked up to you one day,Like you toddle up to a friend or a stranger And said straight to your face: I am happy I am satisfied I have passionsAnd desires Would you believe that?You telling youThat the boy You lovesTruly cares…

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…

The Demise of the Fittest
‘Super’ is what they called me ‘Magical’ was how I was described when all failed, I was the one who survived. I saw my fellows wither, For they could not compete against the changing times. ‘Unfavourable conditions,’ they cried Then said the world ‘Goodbye!’ I endured it all, season after season. I grew stronger, With…

Fiction Friday-Remembering Camus!
My son had brought me here. It was quite a long time ago. My joints didn’t know what arthritis was back then. Lately, the pain defined them. It was around this time of the year, though which year and on what date, are the details that had escaped me. The one thought that I could…
