When you fail to balance between the esoteric creative genius and create a metaphorical wall around your creations, a conflicting space emerges from the reflections. A mind is no doubt being spoken of so carelessly till now because it yields so many rich ideas which fail to resonate with the weak frequencies of life. Language is supposed to translate the most critical thoughts, but it … Continue reading The Metaphors Fail to Impress
I do not know if criticisms work, whether it is ‘constructive criticism’ or ‘destructive criticism’. Criticisms are here to stay and even gets more sophisticatedly vicious. Ideally, criticism is necessary and must only come after much investigation and deliberation. There must be a reason and method to reach a point and build the premise for authentic criticism. Unfortunately, criticisms have been out of a mala … Continue reading Comparing Criticisms
Even if you read from end to end and from top to bottom, or, from the bottom to the top, you cannot stop your mind from confabulating. Is it about the metaphors? Is the poet trying to hide everything in plain sight and create a parallel environment? There is no way to know for sure! Is this the reason why some are drawn to poetry … Continue reading The Mystery of Poetry
The perceived minuscule thoughts crawl across the vast existence through continuously transforming reality. They are composed of eternal ideas, as well as, those absorbed along the interstellar travels. This planet cloaked with another consciousness, full of pure energy, is considered a mysterious metaphysical reality; maybe, they do not have much scope of being discussed as it can lead to a fracas over a philosophy that … Continue reading Perceptions and More
Writing seems to be ebullient even while narrating the continuum of depreciating existence. The type of energy writing survives on seems to be of an unearthly nature. As a writer, I feel, there is a narrow labyrinthine scope allowed for a piece of creative narrative to witness the other end of the deliberate maze. All that the maze is composed of are — criticisms, rejections, premature conjectures, … Continue reading Labyrinthine Journey
The events that you follow with your eyes may lead you towards an ephemeral experience, but when you do so with your consciousness, it becomes a continuous exhilarating journey of learning. There may be an urge to give up the chase easily due to the fear of being lost in layers of unknown reality. As you proceed, you will be wrapped in them; your intense … Continue reading The Chase
If you fall in love with the wrong spelling and inscribe it in your mind obstinately, then the entire meaning is not only distorted, but an alternative reality arises from it. An erroneous spelling is also pronounced with the predominant influence of the phonetically distorted word. Pronunciation matters a lot when you come across a new word and try to use it in a piece … Continue reading Spelling it Correctly
How well do you comprehend the ambiguity of literature? Often perceived to be fictional truth, an exaggerated manifestation of the conspiring emotions which trouble the mind, it goes further to etch out a path to understand the passive anxiety. Writing may simply be the urge to chronicle the daily experiences (both significant and insignificant) the daily communications of human aspirations, failures, struggles, heartbreak and pursuits. … Continue reading It is Literature
The feeling when you are not surprised anymore by the surprises is quite perplexing; annoying too. Their over-dramatisation and articulation lack the spark to enlighten the sophisticated senses. This is not about a feeling of superiority or any delusional reflection about one’s character, but there occurs a time when the mundane surprises are not enough. It’s a rather delicate subject to suggest to a progressive … Continue reading Surprise
How close do you get to your writing? Are you afraid of being intimately involved with the passion that flows like an eager stream which has found a worthy course? While writing can be a lonely affair, but the emotions, thoughts, and new enthusiasm do seem comforting. The best part of this relationship is, it starts with a flicker and if favourable, transforms into a … Continue reading How Close?
