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.

This is a world where everthing is possible. This is something very few people understand.  Yes many have heard this statement but still rarely do they realise the immense value this sentence holds. If you feel itvhasnt worked for you then it is because you gave up at that moment when the universe was ready to give you your dream.

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...
Why dont we? It looked wonderful. The garden i was sitting in. The dusty lane around the beautifully constructed garden was all that made me realise that  i still love the place we are living in. I look around,  people of many age groups strolling in the lane. Some waited for their loved ones and others content being alone, absorbing and assimilating the nature's porn look. Even the animals were there. And they were happy, after a very long time they had finally found a place where they could live without the fear of being tortured, or Atleast for a little more time till perhaps something might change. Then i turned to my right. It was not like no one was troubling the trees, I grinned as i saw small hands shooting up to pluck that one red coloured berry from the nearest branch of the gaint proud angiosperm . I chuckled now at my sole companion there, the  tree that bore that red coloured berry and she seemed very happy for this was what she always wanted, to be lo...
