Relay pt 3

Hey readers,

So the fool sat down on the side of a busy road, waiting for a bus to show-up, wondered long and hard at the events of his life as it sprang ahead, as fleetingly as the cars went by.
Order, the word order has been something that has dictated all his life, cant remember his life without the order of school introduced in his life.
He couldnt conjure up the memories that he might have had as a child but, later when he switched to primary school he was subjected to this routine of getting up by 6:15am and leaving by 7 for school, coming back by 2:00pm and running off to tuition by 3:30pm and so on. the order kept changing though during the course of his lifetimes. it was like he was running a relay race with baton of time at hand. Each relay he completed, he emerged better than the last one, with that order setting-in in his lifestyle.

Part One,
            the fool got up early, so his brother can have the convenience of a longer sleep (honestly It escapes me that what the fuck could 15 minutes do). Alas, he was too imbecile to question that dominating figure. He went to school like any other kid, stood in the prayer line at the one arms length while the music teacher at the stage sang the prayer for us to repeat.

Part One and a Half
           this was another institution, college. he got up really early, at 7 am and almost dubious about whether he should take a bath or not, was seen gathering the cardboard models that lay everywhere. It was another submission day today, teacher had asked for another 7 models and it was hellish, knowing that he wont return before 5 pm and would have to get back to work on the next day's submission. This went on for a year and as the result was out, so was the fool.

Part Two
           this time things were a little out of order as he had time at hand, the routine he had been following for a year was rendered in vain, he was not required to wake up early and no need to work the rest of the day but he kept up for sometime while he engaged in various activities in his new world, a tad grievingly for he had left a good part behind and never got to have his closure neverthless,  change he said was inevitable. He settled in on his new order of living, and got lazier too. Made new friends, and then nothing more and now he seems to be ending another lap.

Part Three
               writing.....

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...
