There’s a gradual shift in the discourse, the pledge to disclose nothing that may unsettle the established status quo. As if, a sharp object either creates more serrated edges or aggressively blunts it, like a candle is extinguished Sharp flames of clarity burn down the prejudices, dulls the mediocre opinions of the opinionated Writing is doubtful, literature even vague, between cruces of a quantum transformation … Continue reading Misguided Flow
We cannot reason ourselves out of our basic irrationality. All we can do is to learn the art of being irrational in a reasonable way. -Aldous Huxley Continue reading Reasonable Irrationality
Opaque reality, sitting here, trying to rein the unwanted distractions Silence and stillness is all I pray for; goodbye time I cleaned the hazy windows, drowned myself in clear water Feels fresh, even the night looks brighter, faint, pure light of transparency Now, the connections, with reality, the forgotten truth I found a comfortable position, my mind simply comprehending, unhurried The universe has a fragrance, … Continue reading More Than Curiosity
Silence is maligned, typical of a world that fashions the daily clamour of a life spinning uncontrollably All about time, the finest manipulator, the magical nuisance of unseen characters, powerful in the dark, surrendered to the unenlightened world Suspicious crowds, with furtive glances, trust is designed and defined by convenient expectations, a ritual in dark spaces So, all the faces look blurry, none defined by … Continue reading Furtive Glances
You never really wake up It is still a dreamlike situation, where reality fades away Like an unnamed river rushing towards the deepest cavern Numerous compulsions to realize a common dream Keeping away the precious ones, but rarely spoken about Eroding the equilibrium- the reality is not interchangeable At the peak of a hectic day, it sometimes feels like waking up A sudden jolt from … Continue reading Waking Up

When I feel distracted in multiple ways, every day There are newer ways to take me away from the truth So often the past is presented in a falsified language The present is diluted severely with irrational thoughts A future is painted with an amateurish capability Usual demarcations place me in a quandary Whilst I am … Continue reading Escaping the Moments
When I decided on the infrequent visits Started contemplating in silence My mind became aware of the noise From the other side, another dimension All these elements that I am of I cannot deny, but hope to balance them Find a synergy- a route of self-awareness Some of the realisations will be uneasy On the settled consciousness Which has forgotten to experience Without interference and … Continue reading A Time Away from Time
From where they emerge is an enigma- uncontrolled dilemma Blind spots, psychological delirium, and unresponsive behaviour If the world of introspection is under duress, thoughts dictate Incapable of imagining beyond the usual consciousness Every structure is thought to have a shape- warped they may be A contrived pattern of thoughts densify reality- perceptions matter Strident opinions do not have the depth and conscious articulation Languages … Continue reading Beyond Structures
There are some forces, their efforts, to create a divide As you try to be closer to yourself, the more you are ridiculed As if you are inadequate… a failed protagonist and raconteur Encouraged to travel exactly in the opposite direction… wherever they may lead Trying to catch that ephemeral dream and turning into an undying passion As much being controlled by the predestined past … Continue reading The Divide
