Come On In A loose-rhyme spur-of-the-moment, midnight-half-dream-inspired free verse. Background playlist: Any Colour You Like - pink Floyd For You Blue - Beatles Rabbit Run - Eminem Weight - Smith Ends are around the corner Every day life is ending If you didn't make it, you can't hear this, but if you can, come on in. Ones, singles, solos, misfits, couples, duos, pairs and bros, Tres, Quattro, more 'n more, Everybody get in on the act, If you can, that is, come on in. Points barely ever arrived at, Arguments arrive endlessly, Perspective is hard to have, When you're ground to the floor. Rise up if you can, come on in. Aradhye Ackshatt.
America - F Kafka 81-89474-13-8 Statue of Liberty: did it have a sword before the torch? "But morals change every time you come to a new port. " "...but that needs a lot if perseverance, doesn't it? I'm afraid I haven't got that. Men in single file, as was NEUTRAL..." (?)[ natural, methinks the translator means] Pediment. Caryatids. "Yes, in this room one realised where one was. ...began actually to take a SON of comfort in the thought that in case of need the stoker... Ambiguous questions, and this the most unsuitable moment to ask them!" [Thoughts and (such questions) come to the fore of their own volition, they cannot choose that moment. ] "Now then, Karl, quick, make the best if every minute you have, before the witnesses..." [He thought to himself, since the narrator is omniscient, even though K. remains the focus of his narrative/story. ] Extenuating. "...a term by no means too emphatic, although it might be exaggerated...

डाँवाडोल is a (as is apparent) a Hindi word, that exactly describes my mind state for the past week. To Goa or not to Goa... But I guess noida is easier to continue to live in. In these monetarily-driven times, stability of shelter and sustenance is paramount. Only this time I think I know where my interest lies. More than that, it's closer than I thought and there's even an old house prefect of mine there! :)
Benaseeb कहते हैं कि हर शख़्स की ज़िंदगी का हर पहलू उसकी हथेली की रेखाओं में समाया होता है । जाने-माने "ज्ञानी" लोग भी यह मानते हैं । लेकिन अगर यह एक ब्रह्मांड का नियम है, तो क्या इसका विपरीत भी सच है? क्या मेरा भूत, वर्तमान और भविष्य काल बस एक random series of events है, with no purpose, no aim, no reason for my existence? If so, isn't that true for each living being? We humans try to deceive ourselves into believing that there is a point to life, ignoring the facts staring at us from the mirror - this body of flesh and blood is only that, and no amount of mysticism will stop it from expiring and decaying. That simple knowledge inspires me to live. To exist. To not let a single regret linger for a single moment in my brain, which is all I have throughout my existence in this universe.
