In Two Minds

There’s so much rush around me,

But I find myself sitting quietly,

Thoughts performing a Brownian motion on my mind,

Taking me to another world, leaving my physical self behind...

I can’t get hold of the streams of ideas running around,

But they somehow are able to keep me bound,

A bit of this, a chunk of that...

Adding to them is whatever I have.


I feel I am best when I am with me,

Only then can I set my mind free.

I’m true, I’m honest and I’m faithful towards myself...

And for the others it’s nothing but playing safe.

Trusting others has always been a pain for my heart,

Every time it has been left betrayed and scarred.


But still I trust people- few of them that is;

And they do the same what their foregoer did with ease.

They are a show of selfishness and superficiality,

They know it doesn’t pay to be high on morality.


I should learn from them all these and more,

And bask in the attention that comes in galore.

My heart says it won’t let me become like this...

My mind argues being like this is actually a bliss.

It says this way is the order of the time,

If I follow it then everything will be fine...

The Nurturing Nature

Down the campus it’s greenery all around, The birds accompany me with their chirping sound. Be it in the glowing morning or at the falling dusk, Overlooking the symphony is a defying task. Never did I see such harmony in Nature’s creation, It simply bewilders my weirdest imagination. The rippling water, the expanding tree, the small little seedy, The swaying grasses, the twittering birds all break into an eternal rhapsody, The azul sky lined by the white fluffy cloud, It simply looks serene away from the maddening crowd. When the young green leaves brush each other joyfully, It seems like it is beauty carved out beautifully. How generous Mother Nature is in her blessings towards us, But still we ignore a lady so astonishingly gorgeous!

The Ride of Life

Life has taken a full circle. Life has brought me back to square one. Although a circle and a square have different shapes, the journey has been one and the same. A diameter here and a diagonal there- I willingly avoided these two shortcuts because I wanted to experience life in complete routes. It’s not that I didn’t mind taking the shorter route but I preferred the longer one just to know what it is all about. Curiosity kills but curiosity teaches too. The run in the arteries and veins induced by curiosity is exciting and tiring on and off and the best part is the end is satisfying no matter what. The company with whom we traverse the journey matters a lot. A happy, supportive, similar wavelength minded, understanding, caring and ideally someone who makes you be you at all times makes your journey all the more learn-worthy and fun. There’s no perfect partner. There can’t be any for anyone of us because overtly perfectionism sometimes takes refuge of fakeness. People should always be ...

The Faceless Sadist

The smell of the freshly dug soil hadn’t yet sunk in me completely and there I lied in the dark world waiting to befriend the arthropods and the microbes. I was feeling depressed, it was for the first time I was away from my soul. I did not know where it was. “Did it get someone like me or someone better than me to reside in?” was the question on my mind. “Hello! You there?” suddenly a voice enquired. It derailed the train of thoughts in which I was. For a moment, I thought who would that be, who would want to look for a dead entity? The voice and its echo sounded familiar to me and I realized, “Isn’t it the same voice which used to pinch me with guilt consciousness whenever I did something wrong, acted selfish or betrayed someone’s trust? Isn’t it the same voice that reprimanded my evil being every now and then because it took everything as acceptable and a done thing?” I hated the times when it criticized even my good form saying it has lost all the morality and it is gradually becom...

Reminiscence

My life's like a small sphere, and you are the centre of it, The only thing I do is loving you and with a true heart I admit. Hope you be the little star, Around which I have my universe, And be with me forever, Overcoming all the curse, Tell me once, only once that you love me, And for you I will give away my life smilingly. Loving you was all that I could, Loving you didn't depend on my mood, Love was always between us, Did we lose it 'coz of all these rush? If I tell you I still love you, Would you ask me, "Really, you do?" And "Yeah", my answer would be, I can't stay with my incomplete me. Com'on let's be together again, Did you forget how we'd dance in the rain? Completely drenched, warmed by a cup of tea, It was only and only you and me.
