The Proverbial Dangling Carrot

This note is not shared and if you have found it I suggest you keep it to yourself, Please!!

          You know how they tell you that your mind works better at night, less troubles to deal with, a more free thinking space and what not. I have always agreed to the fact, the night time has always brought with itself a lot of opportunities. The most recent was called "Clbtl" (no i cant name her) and she came with a certain realisation, i.e. I am quite content with my life and this is pretty much a curse. As you yourself can gather that in order to seize opportunities one must always be hungry for something more. Whereas, I have all I can ask for, neither I have the wish nor the need for something more except for that one thing called love. I agree that my family loves me but, I cant share my heart with them because they got their own troubles trust me, its not easy for anyone who is alive.

          So, coming back to the idea of opportunities this Clbtl incited love in me again, with her sweet talking and sarcastic jokes, how she would with great, unprecedented humility ask for my help every now and then, how she would let her spectacles slide just enough to look above her glasses to nudge me and my thoughts back into the food on my plate, and god knows what not (I can go on and on, like every lover ever) but, then again i would never tell her that I love her, something zeroed down to abandonment issues. This although is the 21st century, relationships nowadays are more physical and so was ours. Every time I was with her, every time she was with me, it was ecstatic, I was ecstatic. she was gorgeous the moment water slid across her skin it would turn, not into gold but, an elixir all the same, she had fingers so slender and petite that they would get lost in my hair, her embrace was a cocktail of emotions as easy to touch as I could feel the air and abysmally absent the next moment, her breath would blow furnaces to re-incarnation, her kiss was a bitter-sweet gesture, bitter because she eventually leaves.

          This feeling to be exact is the so called proverbial dangling carrot, it is the only thing that seems to have been driving me these days not, her alone, who rather terribly she left too, its the next one in line upon whose thought this epiphany dawned on me. I have nothing against this but, what if, I miss the one I am supposed to be with, What is i hurt the ones I have been with. Uptil now, there only has been one who considers me worth something even after I chose to abandon her. I wonder if i should stop myself.

Happy Happy Calm

Today I had an unusual air of calm inside my lungs. Today I was in no hurry to get up and go to work, I knew that sleeping in 30 minutes more wont hurt anybody, I walked to the Metro train station in a long 10 minute walk (it takes me precisely 7 minutes to get to the station from my home) and i was fine, not put of breath in any way, I was subjected to the same unrelenting crowd of rajiv chowk and I didnt care. In the metro I didnt offer my seat to any (coz no one aged nor any woman in need appeared) as I got the seat during the last leg of my journey. I got to my workplace only to realize that I had left my key at home but, instead of calling everyone with the key to hurry to the workplace, I waited it out. This new feeling of calm is elevating, Im worried for nothing and this maybe the first time in my entire life that Im worried for nothing. No, doors need to be locked, no switches need to be turned off, no deadlines to meet and no love to greet. There is a profound happiness that...

The Narcissist

heyo ... Perhaps i was wrong ... maybe this need to write just doesnt thrive on the feeling of love or any such problem ... its just the feeling of being that makes me write these notes ... so been sometime since i have been told by an astrologer that i will be sensitive (emotionally) for 10 years , long time .. well 2010 was the beginning of it and 2020 will be the supposed end of it .. so been thinking on how can i become emotional all of a sudden .. and then it hit me .. i have been writing since 2010 only , been noticing little details since then only ..  so conclusion i twisted something in order to fit something ... but yea while the topic is at hand i suddenly lack empathy for others and started taking care of my own self ..  i supposedly won "the most compassionate Mira-ite" award (i saw the name on the trophy just a few weeks back and got it that it was a title given to me only .. although i have no memory of getting it ).. so that com...

Contentment

its been quite some time since something struck this head of mine ..and  thought i should express this one thought that has been just strolling in my extremely excited brain it started about 4 days back . its is pretty humane to feel a rush of excitement and i am quite human so i get excited a lot . I remember that when i was a kid we used to travel to Punjab in trains and no matter how bad the ride was gonna be (i ended up sick after most of em ) but i was never able to sleep the night before the journey . The path was always the same old monotonous one and so was the interior but, it never thwarted that excitement . Gradually i became older and lost this excitement . There are always some feelings in life which are forgotten because they get suppressed to extreme . Exempli gratia that feeling of enjoying a lolly pop .. how many of you readers remember it ... ?                ...
