POEM: That Let Go

Lovers embrace as the sulfur cloud rises
While a moonshiner does what he does best
The subtle grace of this tangerine escapade
Was still portrayed by their yet hopeful face
I see the blue flame dancing
Not as wild as the fables of the old
But mild enough to get you through the cold
While a carnival of carnivores feast in the corner
Immune to the carousel of mongrels
Never to realize that it's all a repeat
The parade of a century
A floundering zeitgeist seasoned with the curse of pride
All was defined to be turned twisted and molded to use
A silk scarf is two pulls away from being a noose
Once you were carefree but were named careless
Twice you were human but none could care less
While you ponder through the ticking..
The gift of desensitization is priceless
Lovers embrace only when the sulfur crowd rises

We are prone to ask "why me" Let's see what happens if we ask "why not" "You are only as healthy as you feel" As we measure everything Against our notions Of what it should be Or how it isn't Each passing shadow Is a reflection of your soul Maybe there is no greater purpose And we are bound in a time loop Only as happy as we let ourselves be Definitions..definitons..definitions Put your head down and run Run till you make us proud And point at those who differ This is our self built conundrum I once was obedient I once was forgiving I once was kind I once was living I once was cruel I once was ecstatic I once was selfish I once was a sinner I once was a giver I once was a rebel I once was a king And all i have found is that I am a mere sum of my parts Letting go and holding on Instantaneously Spirals and stardust To be dispersed in every direction But holding on to my conviction Of being humane And if you overlo...

SHORT STORY: Horizons

Contentment defines the majority of us. “Stay in Kathmandu even if it’s for the delicious water that it offers”. They say words have a way to stick with you. They form homes in the deepest corners of your mind library delving in through every corner and gully like that of Patan. Soaked in the rushes of early morning chores and a routine that gave her an alibi of a long time resident, she strode down the road. 6000 days in the making, she knew that it was time her soul heard of triumph and her heart told tales of her vigorous scuffle and patience. The deafening noise and the rising fumes dancing in her pupils were fondly and light hearted when the days were easier to keep account of. Pupils…a funny bunch. A hopeful lot. “Yearn to learn”. She spent her days hoping to make lives better. Education is a must these days and how she had struggled to be the one standing in front of hopeful pupils and ears soaking in……PSSSSSTTTTTT…. the flames went out. 5,999 days of no complaining but there i...

RANT !!!

Are your thoughts a privilege? A necessity? An escape? Or just for namesake? Arguments and debates do not ensure intelligence. It's easy to get lost just as it is easy to preach. It's easy to dream as it is easy to just "exist". We all may wish to challenge the norms, theories, ideologies and even facts but never leave out practicality of the basis that you form along the way. Wouldn't it be awesome if logic and revelations were genetic...a passover through generations of sor ts. But the essence of your thoughts will always take time. We can choose to feed our wanderlust but a void will always be there as reason creeps up your spine like those gentle tendrils of a wallclimber that toughens its grip with time...We talk about the universe and the vast possibilities of it...a fairy tale of sorts...a research paper for modern physics...a marvel for astronomy and logy..out of bounds for those making daily ends meet...under a constantly evolving core..its only perspec...
