Hopeless Longings

Hey people,
How have you been??
I was sitting in my class when a though hit me, why do I come to college so.. (Hi Karan, he just walked in, this one is my batchmate, good guy, intellectual and I'm gonna go back don't worry) early in the morning and then the answer came to me, to get a set of notes photocopied (that's for today). So, I walked to the store inside campus and saw it filled with students, wasn't that my initial thought that, no one will be in college so the shop might be empty, but then again I knew its filled in the mornings.
          This brought upon the thought of hopeless longings,  waiting  for things that you just know won't happen. You must have a good idea how fate intervenes in stuff, then there is the Murphy's law ( Murphy was a philosopher who stated that when you want something to succeed it usually fails you, FYI these are not his exact words). So, this one girl whom I haven't met in 4 years now tells me one fine morning that she got an internship and she won't tell me , its a surprise, I wanted to meet her so bad that I got all set to go out to meet her when she tells  me that she has arrived. The excitement was beyond my containment and I had a smile on my face for an entirety of 8 mins(because fb messenger tells you the time of the last message) when it hit me, will she be coming to Delhi!!
          I was working with this firm some time back and I met an actor over there, very humble to talk to and courteous. I greeted him out of sheer fascination and got to talking about how things are working in the industry he explained a bit to me and then told me that he would contact me and stay in touch, I got him and sent a friend request to him through fb . well you see how people don't have time for people, neither did he.
          So, coming back to the initial one, the girl messages me after 4 days telling me she is in Vietnam and I laughed so much, funny things these 'Hopeless longings' they make you weak and I'll trade my feelings  for logic any day.

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...

Australian Film Festival of India at my College

So, as it happened that today an event was held in my college where Australian films (2 to be exact) were screened to the Bachelors of Journalism and Mass Communication's students and faculty.           The films that were screened were:             1) The Rover           The Rover is a film depicting the post apocalyptic times, a world of hunger not for food but money, a thirst not for water but money and sharp revelation of the surviving humanity. The Rover was a film by David Michod, along with actors Brad Pitt and Robert Pattinson that had a linear form of story telling. The story is set in a post apocalyptic world. there is a carjacking incident where the lead's(Brad Pitt's) car is stolen. The director successfully depicts the attachment to materialistic things in the world in the first act only. This is further established when "the brother of the carjackers in the movie i.e. Pattinson" is find...

A Lighter Heart

Been away from this vice for long now, I thought I was saving up my words, my thoughts but, they were rather getting lost. So, I'm not this "serial writer" who just has an urge to write out of something that has stuck my mind ANYMORE, I am more of a keep to myself these days and the job surely just keeps me busy. I was just celebrating my Saturday staying in bed (coz that's the extent of my celebrations #sadmuch), I thought of writing some shayri (poetry) but nothing came to my mind. I thought to myself perhaps this is because I have been keeping things in for so long, so, I decided to let it out but, the everlasting dilemma still struck, what to write when you have nothing to say, do you struggle with it often, what gives you this clarity in thought if it never happens to you. This entire thing was brought upon by this friend of mine, who sent me a piece of her shayri (poetry), and I did not have an answer for it, I thought hard and nothing, so I decided if not th...
