I dream, I believe, I fantasise. Of, in and about love, magic and the universe. Trippy.

Undeserving Love

There is something about that one boy, who all of us breathe for. Nothing else matters. Nobody else matters. You may get attention from everyone in the universe, but nobody can replace even half a smile from that one boy.

Boys. Or rather all men in general. I don’t know why do they do this to us.

They just enjoy being by themselves so much, it starts to hurt at times. Having said that, there is…

Retrieval

A few months ago, I abandoned writing, voluntarily of course. To serve a ‘higher purpose’ in life. After having tried my best and putting my literal heart and soul to that ‘higher purpose’, I have honestly and brutally come to realize that there is nothing ‘higher’ than love. True love.

But what is the use of crying over the burnt time, which of course, hurts more than a burnt heart. Somebody…

My Heavy Heart

I can never understand her. I remember how her eyes sparkle when she talks of ‘job satisfaction’ and ‘working for the society’ and all those things that are hard for me to digest. How can one person be so sure, that he shall have no regrets after thirty years of life. I tell her, it’s not going to be easy. Ten years down the line you’ll see everyone around you starting a life, buying fancy homes…

Who Decides

Of course it hurts, but who are we.

Who are we to relieve ourselves from the pain. Besides, who are we, to decide the magnitude of our pain. Who are we to decide, which medication is required for our pain. Who are we to decide, if we even deserve medication, for our pain.

The truth is, we are nothing but servants. Human nature, by default, is submissive. Even JK Rowling proclaims that ‘humans…

Waving In, Waving Out A person I know, thinks of himself to be a sapiosexual. I’m a river of love, so whenever I sprinkle my sweet water on him, he cries “No!

Today

Today is one of those days when the two people who mean to me are around, doing nothing. Of course,  family first, but what happens when time kills family? They say you’re pretty much matured until then, to feed your soul, to feed your heart, provided you survive that heart attack. Lol. Just kidding. I know I’m bad at jokes. But what matters is the fact that I know you’re here and you’ll still…

Back Then Or what about those times, back in town. Everything feels exactly the same as it was back there, back in town.

I have a feeling it's love

I have a feeling it’s love

I happened to talk to a person, a person I know little about. We kept talking and I didn’t realise, the sun had, around the earth, already danced around. I kept talking to that person, and thought to myself, ‘why so cold and brutal’. So I took that human and kept it in a pocket closest to my heart. After a while I checked on it, only to realise, that human is actually my soulmate, full of art.

At Times

At times, at nines

At times, At Nines,

When you’re back home tired,

You have a chatter,

or perhaps not

Nobody can help you,

For your heart has tied itself a knot.

At times, across miles

At times, across miles,

When you’re back home tired,

You find yourself alone,

And nobody to greet you a Hello

Time still passes by,

The sun shall still rise.

At times,…

Visapur - III - Pretty Dumb Face

Visapur – III – Pretty Dumb Face

The climb up the fort, through the village

However, with the decision to move forward, came it’s own complications. The decision to go on a trek was overwhelming, but the actual process of going on a trek was even tougher. Initially, it was just the road. We were climbing up the hill on a poor quality tar road. Soon, we came across a village. Cowdung smell and the steam of boiling water lured…

Visapur Trek - Chapter II - The Train Journey

Visapur Trek – Chapter II – The Train Journey

My mom woke me up at five in the morning whilst yelling at me saying I’d miss the train for the trek. I checked my phone and saw a missed call from my friend and called him back to assure I’m up and coming. He confirmed he’d pick me in precisely fifteen minutes, so I hurried. I managed to grab a pair of gloves, glairs, socks, and carried the lunch packed by mum and sprinted down the first floor.…

Visapur Trek - Background

Visapur Trek – Background

As I stepped into 2019, I’ve made the most voluminous, drastic, changes in my life. A lot happened in 2018, and it taught me that I have the power to do a lot. I have replaced every single thing from my life, literally. I’ve changed everything that I could, and I couldn’t. Right from my hairstyle to the people in my life. Guess what, I’ve never felt as peaceful and moreover, as empowered.

2018…

Looking Back Upon 2018

Looking Back Upon 2018

2018 started with a trauma and by the time I could realise I’m left alone in the ocean with a single plank of my broken boat, half of the year had already passed by. Nevertheless, I picked up myself and sailed towards the shore by rowing only by my hands.

Having said that, 2018 has undoubtedly been the best year of my life. Why? Because of my union back with our eternal home, with God. Yes, I…

Why Coldplay is the Best Band in the Universe

Why Coldplay is the Best Band in the Universe

When I was around eleven, my elder brother, on boring sleepovers at my cousin’s, used to keep us entertained by playing Coldplay. I never really understood Coldplay back then. It, clearly, wasn’t love at first sight. Except that I thoroughly enjoyed singing the chorus of 2000 mi-i-i-les along with him. And of course, dancing my heart out to the beats- dan dan dan da-dan dan da-dan dan- I used to…

Chapter I - The Walk

Chapter I – The Walk

There’s a beautiful curvy road.. with the beach on the left side and forests of palm trees on the right. There are birds chirping, with the sun setting, leaves hustling, waves roaring and my soul smiling. I lift my right foot, put it forward on the ground, then I lift the left and inch forward. The process goes on. This process stays the same, whether I am walking or running. All I got to do is,…
