Purposeless

That suffering from not being able to speak one’s own words Mere repetitiveness adorn the speeches so carefully crafted Being in the crowd, chanting the inessential narratives by rote Marching towards the cul-de-sac with feet worn excessively This fierceness with artificial fangs look meaningless Overcrowded bonhomie rests on feeble purpose of reluctant sharing Vice of being overtly interested in someone’s troubles seems sage Alternatives never were, and … Continue reading Purposeless

Familiarity

Languages seem similar, the room filled with different minds Choosing to continue with a narrative that’s been started by peers High pitched voices create the most extravagant drama There’s certainly a camaraderie It lacks the clarity though, on a checkered canvas the imageries are similar- vague Patchwork of an ecosystem struggles to expand further All the important thoughts are considered miscellanies May find some comfort … Continue reading Familiarity

You

If it is you, or maybe you, in someone else’s perception of you trying to be yourself without much appreciation from the inner self. I will address that you, the reflection which I seek beyond those unnecessary layers trying to hide the reality of you. That you may have been ostracised for no fault; the only fault may have accumulated on you, as a burden. … Continue reading You

My Quote

Idea

You have no idea that you have no idea but only an idea of an idea proposed as an idea to trap minds to believe in that idea, which ultimately is not your success but the idea of being a slave to someone else’s idea is not a brilliant idea after all. ~Amitav Continue reading Idea

To Blend

Inadvertently blending with the rush to contribute to the chaos Creating another faint trail to weave a pattern in multitude of designs Memorabilia of already existing ones are either glorified or despised Everyone wishes to choose dreams that comfort the soul Yet, the saturated clouds of ideologies stalk original desires Theoretical predators push aside sentiments to impregnate the mind With alternative thoughts easily identifiable with … Continue reading To Blend

Conscious Communication

When we meet someone and start communicating, we slowly start creating a perception in our mind of the individual(s). As we continue to proceed, these meetings and interactions may vary and the amount of communication can either increase or decrease, depends on the nature of a relationship that develops. Usually, in a Social setting, it is about formal niceties. If the relationship continues to grow … Continue reading Conscious Communication

Mirroring Conflicts

A mirror creates two worlds Interesting observations with initial doubts Is it a true reflection or an alter ego? Friend, foe, or mere hallucination Maybe workings of a hyperactive mind, this reflection Representing the light and dark? Or, the hidden desires magnified for a show Debating the strengths and weaknesses Flaws and perfections and dual comparisons Most interesting debate with a reflection Anything between eloquent … Continue reading Mirroring Conflicts

Directions

Don’t lose your way in life by asking for directions too frequently. Quieten your mind and have faith in the Self and you shall be shown the right direction. We are continuously depending on someone else to show us the way to a destination which only we can choose wisely. ~Amitav Continue reading Directions

A Conflict

There’s always a conflict- Between the inner world and outer demeanor Whether to choose the popular feelings Or, be an individual who quietly makes a point With actions and not being typecast Similar smiles and dialogues To engage the crowd and enjoy the attention Incisive and outrageous sense of humor Exaggerating the deepest insecurity Waiting for the lampoon’s crown Happy to be hiding behind veiled sarcasm … Continue reading A Conflict

Fear of Solitude

Thoughts become sparse in a crowd Mostly engaged in replying to each other Rapid narration of what the eyes vision Scanning the surface of life for instant answers In transit, all the time, never a moment of rest Exhausted mind seeks the elusive sleep Fear of solitude and idea of confronting the Self Deters the traveler from taking solitary refuge Easy to blend in a … Continue reading Fear of Solitude
