Thinking Troubles
If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you. -Harlan Ellison Continue reading Thinking Troubles

Gift of Isolation
Far off from where I started, faint memories, I don’t remember the date or time I did not start with expectations or a plan, but here I am, reminiscing the isolation Now, I decide after the memories have become distant, the rejections, of every season I wanted to try at my pace, while taken through some eccentricities, without worried about arriving Enjoying my idiosyncrasies, where … Continue reading Gift of Isolation
The Less Visible Road
Only road has been pushed aside by the rushing journeyers Somewhere erased, tattered along the edges and faint traces of wilderness Time upon time added a complex layer of monotony to the spaces Trying to explain the complex emotions in trite languages Stories are not held too closely anymore, but unnecessarily ornate Uncomplicated meanderings along that road is a difficult journey Conflicting time tears up … Continue reading The Less Visible Road
Cannot Be
Cannot reduce the glowing sun Hold it in greedy hands Stare at it with lusty eyes Glower at the bright morning Whilst feeling gloomy within Alas! Feel helpless? Become aware of human frailty Glory and gratitude is truth Insignificant facade across the earth Cannot obliterate the truth Embrace eternity? The mirage of lies will vanish Myriad desires like shifting sands Erase all the untruths ~Amitav Continue reading Cannot Be
Escaping the Moments
How can I escape the uneasy embrace of time? 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
Too Close to Identify
Do not bow too close to the consciousness that reflects It becomes an odd posture and the eyes cannot determine the dilemma Like falling into another reality and drowning What happens to the other character who forced it on the contemplations It is like an unwilling surrender and aimless floating thereafter Being servile to the chaos that hid so well under the calm surface Some … Continue reading Too Close to Identify
What There Is
Mostly that has been gnawed by the ignorance Dull images of barren branches Parched territories still breathe for existence Waiting for a miracle- apprehensions are real Time has been deserted due to the confusion Consciousness dangles precariously The ferocity of the intense wind blunts contours Ages have gone by without remorse There is only stifling narrowness and flailing echoes Scripted chaos turns into an eerie … Continue reading What There Is
Not As You Think
Overstepping the boundaries, overreaching, more than the minds can perceive Such reasons irrational squelch and pester unreasonably with saner minds Irresistible boundaries demarcated with hubris; there’s no other escape Criticisms take sinister forms- on the face of it or camouflaged with sophistication Groundless reasons emerge from the highly convoluted consciousness Deception isn’t even an offence; used against any truthful reason and aspirations The furious trajectory … Continue reading Not As You Think
Compared Reason
There are reasons in life that you cannot compare. They are so unique and undebatable that it certainly makes you uncomfortable. It has always been human nature to critique, compare, and contest to offer analogies from either one’s own reasoning capacity or acquired from the numerous interpretations. When perceptions cannot be connected to some other comfortable perception, it becomes an uncomfortable situation. Most likely, certain … Continue reading Compared Reason
Altered Course
What if night altered its course and morning is never of the same temper? Tired of the squabbles and vacuous dialogues, they change their focus elsewhere Ignoble thoughts cloud days forever and lack of communication further dissolves dialogues Fate is caused by the choices that are contrary to nature’s distinct course through a universe Contemptuous diversions and exclusions are cunningly planned by inimical forces Of … Continue reading Altered Course
