In a monotonous life..

                                   It is like you get up one day and not an inch of the world around you has changed. It’s not one of those fantasy movies where one day you open your eyes and discover that you have been bestowed with magical powers.

That’s never the case at least for me. Monotonousness reeks in every breath and action and event in life. Self-help tips sound great - think positive, meditate, spiritual connections, the law of attraction, peace of mind, the purpose of life.... what not. Reading is easy, following is not. Well, I’m not a stickler; then neither am I a born genius. It takes a lot to achieve stability of mind, more in the spiritual sense than the technical sense.

To quote great poets, you have a good head on your shoulders and you are steady on your feet but the only shortcoming is that this head still reels with a headache because of my sleep deprivation every night, and the feet are too lazy to get out of bed.

That much motivation. Is life really about molding a goal and living, eating, drinking and breathing that goal 24*7?
Am I the odd one out or apart from the crowd? Or is this crowd apart from me?

Does this make a difference at all? 

 To me, it doesn't.

That's why I set off in one direction and let the others set off on their own..... Minimum sarcasm (but not nil) intended to the irrational creed and their treasured tenets.
Limited time, one life, freedom to choose, everything at your discretion. Grab the steering wheel and speed away towards a life. Identify that crucial diversion in the road which generally has no directions and use your inner compass to guide you. Enjoy the road more than the destination. Peace out!

Minus Two

I remember so clearly the first time I saw you,  proudly, confidently striding through the classroom.  yet sitting quietly and minding your own business as usual. At that moment I hated absolutely the idea of you.  To me, you were the epitome of a privileged life.    I imagined the wonderful childhood you had  with happy confident parents who praised you and gave you all that you needed.   You later came to speak to me and introduced yourself.   I felt so beneath you and insecure.    How could I possibly live in a world with people as happy, confident, and secure?   I resented what you stood for.  But over time, I started noticing you looking at me,    your eye-catching mine, and lingering for too long. At first, I thought I had imagined it and that it was all in my head.    But then I found myself starting to, seek you out,  stay back at the canteen if I thought...

Slow Knife

In the shadow of shared laughter, there used to be a yellow flower,  but lines were blurred, boundaries crossed,  trust was shattered, a bond lost. Each betrayal, a wound so deep,  Yet still, memories haunt my sleep.  closest one's hurt the most they say, and you my little one have proved it again. A slow knife cuts the deepest they say, never thought I too would get it one day. Your lies were always so so good,  know you are the reason it's come to an end. And all that peace & harmony,  I built for years,  Is gone now and left me in tears I fought, I tried, but had to part. A heavy weight upon my heart.  We're family and nothing can change that, But we'll never be friends, and that's a fact. Do you walk your path alone? Or find solace in a home unknown?  I wonder often, in the silent night, If you've found your own guiding light. Though scars remain, aching yet,  I wish you peace, without regret. For in the echo of what we once had,...
