What do you want?

Several times you stop and ask yourself,"What tangible do I have to hold on to? After all this while and all the troubles you hurdled yourself out of. Trying to find a newer way and finally getting on the road. Only to relapse into the storm you've already seen. The battles you've already fought. Enemies becoming friends and friends your enemies. Watching yourself go down on the same road you've faced before. Not learning from past lessons. And watch your life stop as others whiz by. Or others don't really matter. Just not getting anywhere. And then dreading the loss. The loss of what you love or whom you love. One by one watch as they go. All these fears and more. Lookin for shelter but finding none. Maybe lookin for shelter in the wrong place. Seeking solace but being rebuked. Asking for help receiving derision. The scriptures say that hell awaits those who break someone's heart. Is it true? Or is it simply hell for those who are hurt ?hearts do break. Sometimes some words snap through you like knife cutting your flesh. And then its done. There is a deep sense of throbbing pain. Hurt. Which lingers. How do you repair? How? people wanting bad things for you. Saying things on how you're gonna be left out. How do you deal with that? Say nothing and watch karma take its flow ? Or does karma even exist ? Mind games. Plenty of mind games people play. When things go awkward. When friends stop talking to you. Try to behave like a cool customer around you. Say things like "why don't you Google it yourself ?" friends who'd earlier be extremely lovable. Whom you mistook for friends. Well they were not friends. They were dependents. Dependent on you for something. But you don't get the point of their sudden behaviour. That doesn't matter. It has to happen to you though. All the nonsense. Deal with it now. But you've learnt better for once. From the past. And old makes way for new. Except for things you love. They remain. They have a weird way of staying. Always. In your mind or memory. But you can never let go. I yearn for something stable. Some kind of sense. Some understanding. I wish a few decisions were taken by chance for the good n not left on me. And I was taken ashore by some magic on certain aspects where I felt a little comfortable. A desire has long prevaled to gain something. And in the pursuit of that something several other desires arose. To fulfill your earlier desire and so on. And the cycle went on. And now you no longer re collect what was that you had really desired for in the first place? It seems like a distant memory. A faint story unheard. Lost in din amongst several other stories of the nature. Sometimes when I'm free and I walk alone with trees, I feel they are perfect. The most perfect creation of God. Plants and trees. They are so much at peace. So steady. They don't hurry. They grow in silence. They don't bother anyone. And have you ever seen a tree or plant that wasn't beautiful? That did not add to a place's charm? No. Never. Trees are perfect. And someday I will plant lots n lots of trees . Because they are the only living thing worthy of breeding. People should plant trees rather than reproducing. Human babies are not worth it. Can you watch a plant for a long time or a majestic tree or nature in itself. Man! what peace. I wish I had some of that for my mind. Days go by and years grow older. You grow older. And you feel sad. What's so sad about growing old? And why? Its stupid I think. We want things now. I want them now. Some people don't think like this at all. Some people are not affected. Some people are okay. Some people. I don't understand people. I should not change. Or maybe I should change. Who knows.or maybe I should give up this fretting until time slips by again. Chunks of time. And wait for another time. When something ignites me to feel the same and come back with a rant? Questions? the search would still go on to find something to hold on to. I only wish something came back on track. That's all for now. In all your loneliness. Signing off.

Moonlight Dance..

The two kids floated in the air. Spinning around the moon. Tiny figures bobbing, to a playful tune. She said she'd make a dress, from the fine threads of the moonlight. All he wanted to do, was swing on it. In circles, they bickered. Holding their stance. And spent all night, in a moonlight dance. -Merci

Tango

It is during the empty moments of lazy afternoons or busy evenings, that I think of your pain, and the cause of it. The atrocity of time or the cruelty caused on my behest. Who knew life would alter? But it did. Who thought I would falter? But I did. As your despair heightens, it reaches to me. As my misery rises, I cease to see. It's a funny little tango, with tormenting dancers. I am the criminal and also the victim. Of a questionable tale, with no answers. -Merci.

Thy Majesty - The Mountains

Recently, I struck an important point off my bucket list. I visited the mystical lands of Leh-Ladakh which encompasses the north-most part of India. Off late this place has become a hot tourist destination. So much, that probably it is very fashionable to visit Ladakh these days. Or maybe, not. I would like to share my experience with everyone so that they know what to expect and most importantly, what not to expect out of this place. We had an 8 day trip to Leh. We met many people on our way, forged new friendships and enjoyed our time there.We visited Leh in the end of May which is probably the beginning of summer( in other words: start of the peak season) in that place. Having said this, the weather was not very warm over there. Temperatures stayed low and you required your thermals, jackets et all. The sun rays beat down on us during the day. The open skies and elevated heights did not help much either. We witnessed a contrasting play of nature at work as the cold ...
