Collisions



The flaws of the nature seem to be ironic
Like how the rustling of leaves sounds poetic,
When it's just the gentleness of the zephyr on the greens.
But just like the sand is for the philosophers and words are for the nobles
They are for the poets but a way of articulation.
Alas! But when the shades of the rhododendron falls on the earth
It cannot but instill a series of battles in the psyches of their brain.
And when the canary admires its beauty in the river bed agape,
They reach out to the talk about the tales told in the ocean bed.
Just like that the dusk disappears amidst the dawn,
And you still won't believe how beautiful the place is.
For how can the alchemists and legends be wrong when they spoke?
That the rustling of leaves mean more than just the wind playing its role.
It's like a play that surrogates your attention,
Making you believe in the miracles of life.
You will then start seeing that smile on a face and waves of the ocean has much more to them,
That the platituted one-liners are clichéd for a reason,
That believing in their insaneness makes life more beautiful
As widely beautiful as the collisions inside your head.

Change of some sort.

The world is changing, isn't it? So, everyday when I scroll through instagram, facebook or any exquisitely woven write up, it gives me a sense of relief. And this is no lie. Maybe we skipped noticing the honours received by a social activist for legalising tribal rights or ignored reading the thank you messages from change.org for signing and successfully helping Rita or Michelle achieve the milestone.  Maybe we overlooked the way the facebook timeline feed has put on an entirely different clothing, advertising more on women rights, humane deeds and humongous achievements . Or how new instagram posts started showing how much love we have for another person or for a cat or a dog. Hey, even how our priorities cycle between potatoes, avocadoes and sleep. The new interest in portraying how much important beach and adventures have become. Or even the sudden realisation that most of our favourite stars are not even on these social networking sites or that their accounts are managed b
Before late.   😇 Sweeping through the lawn filled with mud, She wished she had one more chance. Tears were falling down her cheeks She didnt even try to stop it from expressing. She wanted them to see that she was repenting That she demanded one more chance. Yes she remembered, remembered them telling that there was no going back That mistakes once done remain hence. She was supposed to be happy, For she was in the place of God, But she also did know that any other place was better, For when you stand in the heaven, you have to be good, which she wasnt. But she had just seen what she had done, What she had done during her journey in The Earth Never had she listened to the voice, Never had she been humane. Now when she sees how her children's suffer, She has no choice but to repent. May be this is what they call the hell. May be everyone comes to heaven afterall, But there could be no bigger hell than being helpless and guilt-filled in the heaven. She sighs

Hi, how are you?

She was walking in the midst of a confabulatory crowd with hazy sets of dreams playing in the mind. She was content with them. Happy to listen to them, sad to come back to the reality. This life was beautiful. Lots of beatific moments lit up her face. The happy laughters arround her somehow made not much difference. She was happy being there, in her own happy space. Inside her blissful bubble. Away from the monotonous and boring daily routine. But someday someone strange came up to her and asked her how she was. How are you?' was a simple question. But obviously some simple questions can't be answered, and some others make you glad. This question made both. A smile was all she could give. Rest of the seconds she sat staring at that person, trying to figure out why this person gained so much of her attention just because of one question asked. Because she couldn't stop. Everyday she would search for that person, forget to get back to her happy void, hoping to read tha
