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...

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...
