The Tick

Something has got to tick for me to write and as it appears I shall write as another.
So here goes to the extraordinary fool.
          He sat laid back watching tv, the movie showing was  intense, the theory of everything, never thought theories to be made of such complex human emotions he said to himself. The movie was so enthralling, the sheer strength of the bond between the sick doctor and his wife where she tries her best to uphold the relationship.
          He had known black and white all his life atleast, that is what he dealt in at all times the emotions were always two extremes little did he know that, that was not how things worked. People say red is the color of love but, he stood in defiance, he believed it to be gray colored!! Why you ask, well, so did many and he replied as to why it is gray.
He believed that love existed because of its affection now this affection could be both black and white, as whats white for one is usually black for others but their black was a constituent particle of love as the world knew it (He saw nothing to change that). The thought was intimidating at times, the banal practices of the world can only be considered as either black or white for that is the scale he had for everything.
            So back at the movie, he witness what true love might look like, and a realization dawned upon him that he had never experienced love, rather those were moments of strong infatuations and nothing more, for infatuations GROW into love and those infatuations were often let go off. Never did he confront an infatuation and never he let himself for an attachment strong enough knowing that he cannot bear a heartbreak. This particular fear was the major reason why things he saw were black and white alas, knowing this did not help him.
          So that's that and the fool got hungry !!!

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...
