Sad Romantic

Will we ever be together?
Is there really a perfect match?
Will we ever cross paths?
Is there a catch?
Maybe you are in another State,
or in another time period.
Maybe it's futile to look for you,
but I just can't stop thinking about you
Maybe you are not a human,
Or just a figment of my imagination.

Sounds of an Indian city

I was supposed to write about the ‘Honking Culture’ of India. When did it begin? How did it begin? I wonder. On the roads of the cities of this nation, it appears as if everyone is in a hurry. I do not know where is this sense of urgency coming from. Maybe people are late to work/school/college in the mornings and want to hurry back home in the evenings. But that would leave the afternoon without the orchestra of cacophony. But alas! These ears will not be spared. The villages have a slow-paced life they say. I am beginning to wonder if that is the right pace of living. Today, nothing short of instant is expected. Maybe the cities are saturated, there are just too many of us on the roads and the public transport doesn’t help much. I spent a good 26 years of my life living in a house that was on the main road. I was so used to the sounds of the vehicles that only when I would play my recorded videos and I’d realise the loud traffic noise that was the background music of my daily lif...

Language and Punishment

 Hello,  I happened to watch a documentary called 'Wisdom of Trauma' which moved me. It talks about how people take on addictions in the form of work, drugs, tobacco, sex, video games etc to feel better. People try to escape this reality which hurts them. The underlying intention of 'wanting to feel good/better' is what caught my attention. The escape that we choose, in my case I'd say I consume social media and also take writing as an escape from the reality. While this is unhealthy, but not demonised like other addictions, say smoking or drinking. I have been witness to what these addictions can do. And I realise why is it difficult to let go of these habits of escape. Help, addiction is but a cry for help. Next time, you use statements like 'I hate people who smoke/drink/do drugs', maybe think again. We tend to do self harm in different ways, but what we are in need of is help. I guess this is what it means to hate the sin and not the sinner. The other pr...

God's Own

 2024 was a year when God called me a lot. My wedding was at a sacred place where the believers dream of organizing weddings. And then, the God’s Own Country called me not once, but twice after a gap of 16years(longer than vanvas). Though I was 14 years old, I don’t remember the details of most my school ‘excursion’ trip. I fell sick, had a fall out with ‘friends’, locked out one of my classmates and had explosive diarrhea on my train back home. Anyway, so not exactly a trip to remember. But I liked the places that we visited, though I do not remember their names. I remember the beaches, the Guruvayur and Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Sunset and sunrise point of Kanyakumari, some National Park, some waterfalls, the boat houses of Alappuzha and the non-existent toilets.   This was September of 2008, the monsoon of my last school year. It was kind of freeing in some way, I stopped pretending to fit in and tried to make a mark of my authentic self. And fate(of this universe) would ...
