To kill a mocking bird?

It's been long I've had it to my heart's content, and even today i cant say as much yet I'm gonna try to put in as much in the short while b/w transit, b/w 2 flights, b/w two extremes and one me .
What would be the greatest fear of one particular child like-sh person ? not many just a single type of fear? Maybe something so petite, nobody may even bother to know or rather understand.
I've be around all this while, to pilgrimage...I ain't old , it was just another attempt to make dad happy with my type of unhappiness. in all this, i tried to discover what would give me sound sleep or rather more peace than I could have found .
My new found love was writing, maybe reading...maybe it's going to die. Maybe sooner than i can comprehend the word 'soon' .
it's a passage full longing, a felt of fearlessness...much unloved and demented. like tired.Murdered laughter,the severe moment of nothingness.what was right? love? lust?dream? nightmare ?  or nothingness ?
has that fragility begun to sink in ? like this much ? was an end coming this close? i know it was close...very close.But how close? Did i have to be a little more silent to decide ? was I falling in a pitch dark pit?
what if i were dead ?  maybe my picture would be nicely garlanded and put up in some place like that , not hearts, not tears.There are numerous possibilities,numerous murderers ahead.There is thing called god, is there?
Oh God !

Between Souls

It's not a very funny notion to sit long faced with some sort off emptiness in u and wonder, why does this fuckin' annoying emotion even exist. It's pretty un-hinging actually.
I wish there was a drug or some sorta thing to bring respite from this unsettling frail emotion, however even if u resit in this time and again....it doesn't make u any stronger or weaker. It makes you stale.
Right now, I sit in Doha-an winds, in some five star suite where the view is breath-taking. I ,with some sorta thrilling resonance wanted to scream at myself for wasting 5 days.
I wonder what brings me to Doha, what's good about this place? apart from the souk ( local market) and the make up women wear, there's no point staying here for christmas break. Bah! I can't even study .
Even if ur much resolved not to get used to some stuff, people do come across your way,peirce through ur mind and cut through ur feeling, leaving u numb or shall i say - wasted !
it's true that poetry may get lost in translation, but does the literal meaning change?
The putative emotion is mostly rationalized, the resolved hardly takes place yet in mitigation it's raw. It's like a 'mite' feeling , pitiful, to be particular.
The emotion is leotarded, typically femalish and full of annoyence. It's like kinetic art.
And then the people behave aobnoxious as if the were coming to some kiosk for beer. Then the absentia disscussions. Gooey shit !
I gingerly walk,fearing the breaking dawn; discover the beauty and laughter to only resolve for nothing-ness. I still fossick people, how cynical are they...in this god-forsaken world. Nothing but a foul dream, un-nurtured beauty and emacitated fuckers !
there's no elysian, get real ..will u ?
Attest this half hearted place, find a reason to breathe !

Marriage - I Do ! Do I ?

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
William Shakespeare, Great Sonnets

Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around.Most kids grow up to be just like other people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. Not to forget, the typical Hindi cinema drama, which drives in the most unexpected times!

The most successful one isn't being together in love and making it sweet enough to barf daily...The most sucessful one is where, there are two people who are the best of friends with - family, friends and each other
The two people, who have spaces in their togetherness, where the soul shall be the sould and sea shall be the moving emotion of time.
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow .

In their words-

“When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth......

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself."

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.”
Khalil Gibran, Le Prophète
 

Really? Maybe ! (dual expression)

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
-Oscar Wilde

The Inheritance of Loss

“Could fulfillment ever be felt as deeply as loss? Romantically she decided that love must surely reside in the gap between desire and fulfillment, in the lack, not the contentment. Love was the ache, the anticipation, the retreat, everything around it but the emotion itself.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“All day, the colors had been those of dusk, mist moving like a water creature across the great flanks of mountains possessed of ocean shadows and depths.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“A man wasn't equal to an animal, not one particle of him. Human life was stinking corrupt, and meanwhile there were beautiful creatures who lived with delicacy on the earth without doing anyone harm. "We should be dying." the judge almost wept.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“Jemu watched his father disappear. He didn't throw the coconut and he didn't cry. Never again would he know love for another human being that wasn't adulterated by another, contradictory emotion.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“Why couldn't she be part of that family? rent a room in someone else's life.”
 
“But so fluid a thing was love.It wasn't firm,he was learning, it wasn't a scripture;it was a wobbliness that lent itself to betrayal,taking the mold of whatever he poured he poured it into.And in fact,it was difficult to keep from pouring it into numerous vessels.It could be used for all kinds of purposes....He wished it were a constraint.It was truly beginning to frighten him.”
Kiran Desai
 
“Saeed quickly found employment at a Banana Republic, where he would sell to urban sophisticates the black turtleneck of the season, in a shop whose name was synonymous with colonial exploitation and the rapacious ruin of the third world.”
Kiran Desai
 
“No human had ever seen an adult giant squid alive, and though they had eyes as big as apples to scope the dark of the ocean, theirs was a solitude so profound they might never encounter another of their tribe...Could fulfilment ever be felt as deeply as loss? Romantically she decided that love must surely reside in the gap between desire and fulfilment, in the lack, not the contentment. Love was the ache, the anticipation, the retreat, everything around it but the emotion itself.”
Kiran Desai
 
“He seemed unaware of what was going on, stared out without hope or ambition, without worry, developing a quality devoid of qualities to get him through this life.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“What is this all about,' asked Sai, but her mouth couldn't address her ear in the tumult; her mind couldn't talk to her heart. 'Shame on myself,' she said...Who was she...she with her self-importance, her demand for happiness, yelling it at fate, at the deaf heavens, screaming for her joy to be brought forth..?

How dare...How dare you not...

Why shouldn't I have...How dare...I deserve...Her small greedy soul...Her tantrums and fits...Her mean tears...Her crying, enough for all the sadness in the world, was only for herself. Life wasn't single in its purpose...or even its direction...The simplicity of what she'd been taught wouldn't hold. Never again could she think there was but one narrative and that this narrative belonged only to herself, that she might create her own tiny happiness and live safely within it.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“How could anything be the same? The red of blood lay over the market road in slick pools mingled with a yellow spread of dal someone must have brought in anticipation of a picnic after the parade, and there were flies on it, left behind odd slippers, and a sad pair of broken spectacles, even a tooth. It was rather like the government warning about safety that appeared in the cinema before the movie with the image of a man cycling to work, a poor man but with a wife who loved him, and she had sent his lunch with him in a tiffin container; then came a blowing of horns and small, desperate cycle tinkle, and a messy blur clearing into the silent still image of a spread of food mingled with blood. Those mismatched colors, domesticity shuffled with death, sureness running into the unexpected, kindness replaced by the image of violence, always made the cook feel like throwing up and weeping both together.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“He wasn't a bad person. He didn't want to fight. The trouble was that he'd tried to be part of the larger questions, tried to become part of politics and history. Happiness had a smaller location, though this wasn't something to flaunt, of course; very few would stand up and announce, 'Actually, I'm a coward,' but his timidity might be disguised, well, in a perfectly ordinary existence situated between meek contours...Cowardice needed its facade, its reasoning, like anything else if it was to be his life's principle. Contentment is no easy matter. One had to situate it cannily, camoflauge it, pretend it was something else.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

Year by year, his life wasn't amounting to anything at all...And yet, another part of him had expanded: his self-consciousness, his self-pity -- oh, the tediousness of it...Shouldn't he return to a life where he might slice his own importance, to where he might relinquish this overrated control over his own destiny and perhaps be subtracted from its determination altogether? He might even experience that greatest luxury of not noticing himself at all.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“All of the third-world flights docked here, families waiting days for their connections, squatting on the floor in big bacterial clumps, and it was a long trek to where the European-North American travelers came and went, making those brisk, no-nonsense flights with extra leg-room and private TV, whizzing over for a single meeting in such a manner that it was truly hard to imagine they were shitting-peeing, bleeding-weeping humans at all. Silk and cashmere, bleached teeth, Prozac, laptops, and a sandwich for their lunch named the Milano.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“He knew what his father thought: that immigration, so often presented as a heroic act, could just as easily be the opposite; that it was cowardice that led many to America; fear marked the journey, not bravery; a cockroachy desire to scuttle to where you never saw poverty, not really, never had to suffer a tug to your conscience; where you never heard the demands of servants, beggars, bankrupt relatives, and where your generosity would never be openly claimed; where by merely looking after your wife-child-dog-yard you could feel virtuous. Experience the relief of being an unknown transplant to the locals and hide the perspective granted by journey. Ohio was the first place he loved, for there at last he had been able to acquire poise --”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

This way of leaving your family for work had condemned them over several generations to have their hearts always in other places, their minds thinking about people elsewhere; they could never be in a single existence at one time. How wonderful it was going to be to have things otherwise.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“But while the residents were shocked by the violence, they were also often surprised by the mundaneness of it all. Discovered the extent of perversity the heart is capable of as they sat at home with nothing to do, and found that it was possible, faced with the stench of unimaginable evil, for a human being to grow bored, yawn, be absorbed by the problem of a missing sock, by neighborly irritations, to feel hunger skipping like a little mouse inside a tummy and return, once again, to the pressing matter of what to eat...There they were, the most commonplace of them, those quite mismatched with the larger-than-life questions, caught up in the mythic battles of past vs. present, justice vs. injustice -- the most ordinary swept up in extraordinary hatred, because extraordinary hatred was, after all, a commonplace event,”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“But then, how could you have any self-respect knowing that you didn't believe in anything exactly? How did you embrace what was yours if you didn't leave something for it? How did you create a life of meaning and pride?”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

“When he died, I went about like a ragged crow telling strangers, "My father died, my father died." My indiscretion embarrassed me, but I could not help it. Without my father on his Delhi rooftop, why was I here? Without him there, why should I go back? Without that ache between us, what was I made of?”
Kiran Desai

“Don't be scared, puppy dog, little frog, little duck, duckie dog. It's just rain.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“A journey once begun, has no end”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
They were falling back into familiarity, into common ground, into the dirty gray. Just ordinary humans in ordinary opaque boiled-egg light, without grace, without revelation, composite of contradictions, easy principles, arguing about what they half believed in or even what they didn't believe in at all, desiring comfort as much as raw austerity, authenticity as much as playacting, desiring coziness of family as much as to abandon it forever. Cheese and chocolate they wanted, but also to kick all these bloody foreign things out. A wild daring love...but also a rice and dal love blessed by the unexciting feel of everyday, its surprises safely enmeshed in something solidly familiar...Every single contradiction history or opportunity might make available to them, every contradiction they were heir to, they desired. But only as much, of course, as they desired purity and a lack of contradiction.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“The fact was that one was left empty-handed. There was no system to soothe the unfairness of things; justice was without scope; it might snag the stealer of chickens, but great evasive crimes would have to be dismissed because, if identified and netted, they would bring down the entire structure of so-called civilization. For crimes that took place in the monstrous dealings between nations, for crimes that took place in those intimate spaces between two people without a witness...”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss
 
“He tried to keep on the right side of power, tried to be loyal to so many things that he himself couldn't tell which one of his selves was the authentic, if any.”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

 

Random-ish

“If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.”
John Lennon

“If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.”
John Lennon

“I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.”
John Lennon
 
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
John Lennon
 
“When you're drowning you don't think, "I would be incredibly pleased if someone would notice I'm drowning and come and rescue me." You just scream.”
John Lennon
 
“Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Sounds of laughter shades of love are
Ringing through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, and calls me on and on
Across the universe”
John Lennon
 
“Make your own dream.

That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story, that's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.

That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.

There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.”
John Lennon
 
“There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all”
John Lennon

If you talk about all these beautiful things on earth, then probably you must know that you dont live on earth anymore. You live in a 'fairyland' . To be honest, realistic life hurts a lot and it never does change much. it's the sickest , fugliest thing I could quote.

"Effort is the demon. Our conscious planning and effort to direct the graceful ribbon of smoke, backfires and all we are left with, is a room filled with smoke all around. We endlessly throw our hands around, and corrupt the elegance. The shapes which could have rendered imagination are degraded to dust that chokes the throat and blinds the vision.
Let life lead the way. Go with the flow, intoxicated and unafraid.
One practical way through this philosophy is to start living with the notion of eternity in this form. With this very mind. Imagine that this never ends, this state of your mind; unless you change it. You have your gods inside you.
Gradually with time and with small loving efforts, align yourself with the direction along which you’ll find your inner peace. The one thing that you cannot get enough of. Ever. Tenderly, with the same gentle efforts, start working on your masterpiece. Not what the world deems as something, but your heart. The thing that gushes joy into your veins. There is no hurry. Take all your time. Never compromise on its class and Quality, by your own eyes. Don’t even let ‘practicality’ touch it. Die for it, if you have to. More importantly, live for it.

: : :
i was once having another of our much relished discussions with
Anand Vardhan, when he pointed out how animals, seemingly ‘dumb’ were the ultimate practitioners of Zen. They live the moment, eat when they eat, sleep when they sleep. They just are!
We, in our ignorance dispel this, saying: ”But they don’t have water geysers and computers and food silos and rails. They don’t have airplanes, and Google and all this comfort.”
So?
You are always with yourself. Forever watched. You know all your jokes, all your tricks all your ‘guess-what-happened’ incidents. You’ve witnessed all your romances, all your betrayals and all embarrassments. You know bloody EVERYTHING about you.
Jesse: “It’s just usually it’s myself that I wish I could get away from. Seriously, think about this. I have never been anywhere that I haven’t been. I’ve never had a kiss when I wasn’t one of the kissers. Y’know, I’ve never, um, gone to the movies, when I wasn’t there in the audience. I’ve never been out bowling, if I wasn’t there, y’know making some stupid joke. I think that’s why so many people hate themselves. Seriously, it’s just they are sick to death of being around themselves. Let’s say that you and I were together all the time, then you’d start to hate a lot of my mannerisms. Or, uh, the way I’d tell the same stupid pseudo-intellectual story again, and again. Y’see, I’ve heard all those stories. So of course I’m sick of myself.”
~Before Sunrise.
And then you remember, but faintly the treasured moments that took your breath away. When time ‘flew past’, and hours ticked away with every passing minute. Those were the moments when you were in the present tense.
Certain events, things and people push us onto the moment. They saddle us up on the ‘horse’. You won’t remember the incident in postcard detail. In fact, you don’t. You can never be certain about how many you’ve had. And their depths. You don’t know and never will.
This is no tragedy.
Emerson elegantly summarized that Man, is but a God in ruins.
Memories are algae that stick to our rotten skins when we cease to be Gods. It is not permanent. You wouldn’t know it.  Nirvana leaves no trace."
- Abhishek Tiwari

Initially, this man would convince me and I would read this and be so stuck to it , that it became reality. The reality, I practiced. Sooner or later, my tears over flowed, emotion subsided and I was at the verge of shattering by the minute.It would be funny to say 'I fell in love' when I quoted it as the stupidest thing that existed, hated it and could never respect it nor take care of it. I was bad. Very bad . I still am, I guess.
The overflow became flood and it dried, took away - me !
 Distraction was nothing, it was the same thing in another costume. I became so numb in it, maybe for the first time, I could hate something. Did i ?
Furniture then became the'object' with emotions who could listen and understand, who could give me hugs and let me put my head in their lap and cry a little without making me realize that I was wrong. Soft pillows were where I could sob and yet be hugged for long long hours. It felt divine sometimes and then terrible - only to realize how saddist it was to hug objects not humans.
Coke was like alchol. Sleep was divine. Studying was work, it was the new found thing to do.now I knew, how typically and terribly I was breaking apart.
It would be an understatment to say, I was beautiful . It would a style statement to say I liked who I used to be and might be. It would be fatal to say, I was living. I wasn't really living, I was just breathing and doing things like some trained robot or dog.
I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.

I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that people are perfectable, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women.

I believe that the future sucks and yet I believe that the future rocks.I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating .I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste.

I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds.

I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman.

I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck.

I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.

I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system.

I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.However, I cant believe in relationships,in love and in innocence any longer. It ruins my innocence.

Ruffles

Can we ever understand what goes on between two people on the inside ?

Can there be any better place to see your money unless, it's your closet and it hangs right there ?

Are we still the era of ' me and you, just us two' ?

In her neat uncounciousness, she lay in soft egyptian covers, in some beauty of her own or shall I say poise?

Yeah! the true forward tradionalist like me can often have these questions on my mind, no matter how wise I become or how stupid this world may get. I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be. Then you gotta be like that breez in love, always around.
You gotta be the 'hybrid' of all the females in one man's life .
When you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.
Sometimes, that makes you feel better or maybe it just makes the 'struggle' sound easier than is was.

“I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.”
George Eliot

To kill a Mocking Bird

In old jewish stories, I hear a lot about dybuks and sometimes I wish it happened in today's world too. Yeah ! the REAL world we live in - emotionless, bitchy, sick and tiring. Where happiness is money and relationships are mere resonsibilities to be over with and shut them off. I'm in a complete dwaal. Because every man;regardless old or young have become so earnest over the table that 'I' sound like an idiot or some tumblr bitch. Stupidly frivolous stuff eh? maybe then !
it's stupid thing to sometimes even think of, however it does come to mind and disrupts the perfect flow of thoughts . It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.
sometimes, this whole issue is so sickening that i'd just be thank for for being alive, not learning, not learning a little, not being sick but just Alive. As if i've become some saint and have become aggresively saint-ish.


"not my daughter, you bitch" he said in all rage,and left.
"she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her"
you used to say that before you knew she was a young lady, wiser in a way you never imagined.
PS:Not intended to be derisive.Just an ironical perspective on maddening male idiosyncrasies. No need to outrage.


“Atticus Finch: I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird”
Harper Lee


Swallow her innocence
hallow her serene felt
turn her silent, she can't be outrageous. It will ruin your day
kill the mocking bird or, don't
bully her to silence
Do it, or shut the fuck up !


I'm a modern woman.A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond.I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
speed. I've got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!


I’ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can’t shut me up. You can’t dumb me down because I’m tireless and I’m wireless.


I discovered that my obsession for having each thing in the right place, each subject at the right time, each word in the right style, was not the well-deserved reward of an ordered mind but just the opposite: a complete system of pretense invented by me to hide the disorder of my nature. I discovered that I am not disciplined out of virtue but as a reaction to my negligence, that I appear generous in order to conceal my meanness, that I pass myself off as prudent because I am evil-minded, that I am conciliatory in order not to succumb to my repressed rage, that I am punctual only to hide how little I care about other people’s time. I learned, in short, that love is not a condition of the spirit but a sign of the zodiac.

Maybe I should shut up now, because I feel guilty when I make you realizr that you lost the 'war' !

Soul Mates

SOUL MATES ! yeah it sounds like another romantic bitchy shit from a female like me who never does write about other stuff, other than love ! So here it is, my personal favourite on LIFE AS IT IS .
The question is - to be or not to be ?
the soulution - there's no such thing as that 'stupid' question. To do things is to just do them and care less about the concequence. Who knows what u might come across.
The question is- Do i ?  I Do !
The solution is - there's no such question in choosing between the lines. Just shut ur eyes and say the first thing that comes to ur mind after hearing urself say - I do !
gradually, life does teach you to get out of the mess, no matter how terrible it gets.

Man may have discovered fire, but women discovered how to play with it. It's not much of an issue to deal with them then . Mistakes are what make our fate...without them, who'd I be ? or you either .What would shape our lives then, won't it be boring enough like some used fag. Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart.

So Back to where I wanted to start , the STRESS BUSTER THINGI (forgive the typo please, i can't concenterate on too many things)

Desserts are best stress busters  - BULLSHIT ! seriously it's not .No matter how hard you going to 'TRY' to get over the 'DIRTY' feeling, it wont go. you have to let it be and have to 'SAY' or rather 'SCREAM' - 'I'm GOING TO LET IT GO RIGHT NOW'

Talking helps - Please spare me the horror but talking doesnt help if u talk to sensible people. U've to talk to the most annoying person and still be calm. The magic happens then, the feeling goes away.

Maybe you could do something - diet ? workout? creative things?  NAH! won't help . Nothing will if you dont let it be . As Abhishek Tiwari says it for a woman

"That unforgiving feeling of sudden spinelessness.
You feel heavy, and want to give it all up and sink into the earth.
When the eyes burn like acid, and tears make it all the more worse.
The shrill ring in your ears, breaching silence; that just doesn’t fade away.
The weariness that anchors you like lead at the ocean bed.
The grey webs endlessly fall from the roof above and envelope you silently, no matter how much you run around. They begin to bog you down in an unknown weight. Everything uttered by you gets muffled up in the spaces between. Your throat burning screams are, but a silent hum on the outside.
Your urge to run a hundred miles is crisply shattered by the fact that your body gives up after a few. You reach the dreaded limits of your heart. You run till you taste the mud. It is undiluted agony all over. Physical burnouts fail to drop a pin, restlessness is pumped in your head; like ever.
The state of the dead with null ECG lines becomes your most revered aspiration.
You never really sleep, and you never really are awake.
The colossal dawning that your fondest memories were mere illusions. By your Mind, for your Mind. You have no past to reach out for a breath. The future ahead: plain monotonous.
Sleep fails to take you away from You. You are face to face with a rotting you.  In a box.
External stimulus fails to penetrate one layer of your skin. All attempts to the world outside are gracefully smothered.  Staring your sullen face. Death is no respite. Death is a higher ambition.
Every thought inside you echoes with a sour metallic tinge to it. Like a mild electric shock. A certain curdled smell inducing vomit. All the time.
The insane impulse to bleed it away. The unanswered beg for a momentary lapse of reason.
There is only one dream worth having. To live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead.
~Roy.
The paradox that proves them to be nothing but illusions. When you don’t have them to cling upon. Your Memories.
When you, witness the soul shaped hole inside of you. The melancholy of loss.
That absolute hollowness in your veins, when you realize that she never was."


Stop craving for things and stop carving them on mind walls, it will never do any good. It's better to let the brook find it's way . Some people are settling, some shall settle and some aren't ready to settle for anything less than butterflies.
Every scratch, every twig entangled into the spokes, every missing bolt from the bicycle has its own little ‘insignificant’ story. Innocently staring all those who oversee it for Bigger things in life.
Something in us, something pathetically middle class scares us from scars. We like our things Clean, and New. And Shiny.

"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. "
Democritus

I want you any way I can get you. Not because you’re beautiful or clever or kind or adorable, although devil knows you’re all those things. I want you because there’s no one else like you, and I don’t ever want to start a day without seeing you - you're the soulmate to self, nobody else . Not even the shadow of yourself.
It would be a SIN !

Leela

She lay silently, like some dead woman or something . Her eyes shut, her face calm like never before and the soft hair that moved around her shoulders as she was changed into another hospital attire - something light blue, as if she were a baby boy . Then her 'amma' came in, opened her 'box' and adorned her darling.
She put a bright red dot on her forehead, between her brows and a small dot on her forhead again but somewhere near the hairline, in the center.
She looked like a dot monster for a minute, then like an indian the next moment. She looked beautiful.In that dwelling house, her presence was missing...it was felt.
where was leela?

6 months ago :

" Neena, i can't find my shirt ? the blue one ! "
" Stop screaming, i've ironed it and it's on the bed with ur trousers . Get out of that bathroom now !"

Neena Verma, a depressingly gorgeous female from the suburbs of Mumbai, a HR head at Infosys and Perfect wife. She lacked nothing, she was beautiful, charming,caring et all

whereas, Rohan Verma, Neena's beloved hubby was a totaly dependent over his wife. His day wouldn't start without calling her for every little thing. It was funny for a well established man to do so yet, some kids never grow.

" thanks honey, what would i do without u "
' yeah yeah! come quick! we gotta leave in 10 minutes"
she smiled and called him for morning snack before they could both leave for work

After 10 hours :
 Neena and Rohan entered the house in a washed out state. Rohan collapsed on the couch and Neena went it to get some water.
" Rohan, get up . I'm famished. I can't cook, I'm really tired . "
" okay , let's change and go ? "
" no ! move right now"
In the after -a long day -look , they went out for dinner.

Before the dinner could happen :

'Cross quick, dont be a bum !
i'm going ....come fasshht !
okay now i'm really going '
and she walked towards the crossing

' Neen...NEENA !' Rohan screamed in horror, his charm who just was about to cross the road had been injured and twisted by a speeding car

6 months Later :
Her book released, she was famous author now .
But, was she?
Or was she a lay woman on a random bed
Not chirping anymore !
of the incomplete dinner night , till today ?
a vegetable, is it ?

-> death and desire are unknown parasites, they come and go .
save her laughter
save her innocence
she's ur serenity
she'll go one day and you will miss her more than u can think !

To be or Not to be ?

On Dubai Airport, I suddenly notice all the beautiful things men can make happen. But then there's a space b/w all the beauty and beasts; all the happiness and the sorrows and all other that could be procured somewhere on this earth. How difficult is it for that one person to understand of what goes b/w two people behind the falls. When I stepped out of the bubble of love, i realized that there was more to life than just 'him' and no matter how worse things got, only I had the luxury to decide and design my own life with all the restlessness around me, and still be happy about it. However, there's a larger part not taught at school or home , it's only life can teach you .'Life' , just a too much for it's literal meaning .
nobody teaches you to be happy or use good vocab and become some big sparkly writer, nobody teaches you to know what's worth knowing and what's not, nobody tells you how to walk away from somebody you dont love any longer, nobody teaches you how to love back or be amicable enough, nobody tells you to read minds and know what's going on, nor do they ever teach how to be rich or pauvre (poor) and be famous or not. It's just the part where only experience will tell a tale, u must know.
you'll find hundreds of thousands of tales on love, break ups and life experiences but where shall you find one tale that tells how to stand at a blind spot and walk without any support and believe enough that one day, u shall find that one person who will be there for you no matter night or day. I'm not reffering to a doctor here, it's the person who will never nag you like a bitch or behave indifferent but just slip their hand under your pillow and put a note about what is wrong and what you must know is right. I could sound traditionlist here but trust me, there are all kinds of marriages; there are all kinds of couples and there are all kinds of break ups .

Half Hearted

Few Months ago, I was deeply struck by love. And today, Few days later I realize how important it is to cry and weep till that emotion seeps out. Few months ago, I admired a woman called J***and today I can barely remember why would I do that . It's not because there's no contact or whatever but , because she just was a being who must be admired and left because she does this to herself or maybe it happens in my part of the world.
At the same time, few months ago I knew what was it like to smile and today I've forgotten how to do so. All I can see is the old me who stood way before this day. All I can see, is woman full of longing. A kind that never subsides till end.
I wonder what kind of specie do people belong to where hurting somebody is considered to be a 'good' deed and where dying soul is a path to new light from darkness. What on earth shall I know about such a type!?
He alone knws how long will this storm take to pass and how many paths shall I have to cross to know what the future holds

Moment of Truth

The truth is that everthing shall switch to a mode of stupidity and people will say " u can be happy without him' but trust me , it's all crap.

There's no love enginered between two souls if they are apart . They need to sleep each night in the satisfaction that they are together. We are Mango people,who need each other to love and cry, to share happiness and sorrows, to look at diffrent things and do different things.
we ain't Romeo & Juliet or Laila- Majnu that, their love lives after their death. Who waits for death anyway ? We need each other that very moment, to meet up, to kiss , to love , to smile, to be with each other and be satisfied in the end of the day that no matter how bad things get, that 'one' person is always there for you.
*sigh*

Knitting Knots

We get married because we need to , it's a social norm . Isn't it ?
Well in India , it is. It's bad if u ain't married by 25 and people behave like retards . Trust me, they do behave worst than that but I can't find the word.
You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride.

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
 
The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him, that's where the the trouble really begins in a turbuelent Relationship of a man and wife.
 
“When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth......

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself."

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.”
Khalil Gibran, Le Prophète
 
When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death can try to do them apart and shall fail . I don't want to be married just to be married for the sake of it . I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with or lay in sickness and say no smile . No long-term marriage is made easily, and there have been times when I've been so angry or so hurt that I thought my love would never recover. And then, in the midst of near despair, something has happened beneath the surface. A bright little flashing fish of hope has flicked silver fins and the water is bright and suddenly I am returned to a state of love again — till next time. I've learned that there will always be a next time, and that I will submerge in darkness and misery, but that I won't stay submerged. And each time something has been learned under the waters; something has been gained; and a new kind of love has grown. The best I can ask for is that this love, which has been built on countless failures, will continue to grow. I can say no more than that this is mystery, and gift, and that somehow or other, through grace, our failures can be redeemed and blessed.
The only problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast and served in all hope for that 'love' to happen again till the next few nights of ur breath.

Dim Lights - Bygones of a Best Friend

2.30 am
May 16th, 2011

The phone rang like some sort off buzzer, there was no answer at the other end . I ring again after 20 minutes . There's voice , cheeky yet tired .

" Hello ! who is this ?"
" Happy Birthday missy, finally u're 18. what are u doing today ? " I sound like ever before, the best friend She had .
 " okay yeah! who is this but ?"
' it's me! ur best friend . Remember ? Lagos ? Nigeria ? Sonia ?'
" not really! I dont know you "
' it's Shreya right ? it's her number i believe "
"yes it is, it's Shreya but u've called the wrong person. I don't know any Sonia"

I put down th phone in amazement, how people forget their best of friends in less than 6 months; how quick this world moves on.
tears roll down my eyes, i walk up to dim the lights and sit down in a corner with my memory book with Shreya and tear it paper by paper.
When a person gets close to me, i give them love . When they leave, it feels like there's a crater in there and i shall never be able to fill it. And when they behave indifferent, I wilt ! Know how much that pains? Even I haven't figured it out . My pain isn't the greatest, but it still is one of them.
Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again

Innocence

Yeah it's weird to hear that from me but the fact is the some facts are unknown; sometimes they are unknown to me as well. There's always something I have to tell but the ears fall short. Maybe, this blog which is unknown to many is the best place where I write and nobody listens or reads it yet it gives me some sort of satisfaction that somebody might just read it someday even if that someday never shall come and that I know from deep inside or maybe not !? *sigh*

Myth & Facts

#1 Myth : She's arrogant !
Fact : she's not , never was. Just a woman filled with so much annoyance that it's hard to tell when she isn't annoyed.

#2 Myth : She's an easy catch
Fact : maybe she is , doesnt mean you should be mean. But more closly she's not , she knows things but doesn't always talk , she's loving .

#3 Myth : 'dude , i was being sarcastic! u took it seriously ? oh pity you' *your thought*
Fact : ' I know you were being sarcastic and I guessed it the time this sarcasm started yet didn't believe you were that mean' * my thought*

The problem doesn't lie in you , it lies in me. It's where i'm too honest and too loving . I happen to be harmless and never get cynical . It's where the problem lies. It's the innocence that one woman can posses is the problem in this era because we've really lost people who are that innocent and that forgiving. We live in a place where everybody is a devil and everything is evil , where would be a place for that innocence i scream about.
To disambiguate b/w my thinking and yours is ; yours is too narrow and shrewd and mine is too honest and harmless.
My hope begins to flail at times, for people who take that honesty and care for granted and think it's fake.
I stand gapeing at times to what i hear about myself, trust me . it's a situation where i sink into the thought " this person knows how to judge people ? OMG ! like really? Noway! "
while all you out there , like hounds come into my life get some rest , take advantage and walk away .
When you're incomplete, you're always searching for somebody to complete uself. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, u find that you're still unfulfilled, u blame ur partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until u admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, I ,u, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for u, and to believe otherwise is to delude urselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship you will enter.
To move on, u'll use a person like that give her that: a private space to believe in the illusion of normalcy in a relation and then suddenly, disappear in the dark.
For all the wrong users of innocence , i can scream and shout till my voice reaches the edges of the earth i.e. that ur incompetent humans and do not deserve to live in a socity or even know people who can selflessly love you & deserve no forgiveness for anything . I say this in tears , lods of them .
even though u'll continue to use such people like a pawn yet I say : for the sake of humanity, just once stop and think about that woman or man ...do they really deserve that kind of treatment or do they deserve ur respect and love ? is it that tough to give something u recieve in abundance ? how tough is it? I could never struggle for such a thing!

Hao kya be ? :P

'Hao Kya bee?' , I came across this phrase while talking to an old classmate who is well known for his random sarcasm (yet it never works on me). Noting funny about it yet the memory is daubed in my head .

  • I so wish some people could spare 'english' (reffered to; maa behen karne maai mahir janta) and not stick their big nose in this .
  • Economics lessons - Mr.**** presents his compliments to my random work with all sarcasm that is totally screwed since the 18th century, and the entire room begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business.

  • “I have been astonished that men could die martyrs
    for their religion--
    I have shuddered at it,
    I shudder no more.
    I could be martyred for my religion.
    Love is my religion
    and I could die for that.
    I could die for you.”
    John Keats
now that sounds so much in love, ain't it ? trust me  it's no less than an dead old man waking up and telling u ' yo babey , let's party '
it's weird , very very weird. to die for love. love is life, agreed ! but then there's more to it . Like the other day, i'm watching this random movie where 2 people have a 'happy break up' , that's how stupid love can get and sometimes it's wise (no offence, i was once in love as well ) . There's never a happy break up, it's the atrocities of madness or whatever.  Love of actual meaning is dated and today we start with physical relationship prior to that 'love'. There's always a relation in 2 things, b/w an emotion and it's reaction; similarly there's a nature of things like there can never be a happy break up . it's not stupidity, it's disapprobation  :P
  • When I was a girl of 9, my old friend from ethopian airways was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old woman around. But when I got to be 17, I was astonished at how much the old woman had learned in seven years.
  • Instructions for living a life.
    Pay attention.
    Be astonished.
    Tell about it

  • In an english class, where I sit and mentally correct her grammar and mistakes OF AN ENGLISH TEACHER PREPARING FOR IGCSE  'O' LEVELS - OMG !!!

**I'm in a very random mood today **

Baahre Baahre Naina

I walked in some frail unsettleing memories, peircing through my mind every now and then. I see all these things around, embellished in so much of affection and i curse myself for being that only woman who can never love enough to bring back the lost.How far have you travelled that it's tough enough to come back and peep once, to know if things are okay !
there's nothing beautiful about it , you'll see the old frail lady, on her creeking bed in a mousse state. She'll call you in numerous ways, contact you in your private most cottage where no soul shall make a noise yet, you will ignore her voice. However far u may go ; hide somewhere or build yourself a home of Hide, my love for you will not lower down. You've taken things for granted and i forgot who I was.
Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here, you can't see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. look at all those culs-de-sac, those dream like streets  that were built to fall apart.Everything demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for longer years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters as much I could have .

Rendezvous !

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Raina

Mere Naina se dekh zara, tujhe har zareh mai roshni dikh jayegi magar mere naina se woh raina na dekhna woh aakh bhar layegi.




In this era we live, relationships and emotions have become more fragmented than ever. Masked men roam about in each little element yet you come across those who unmask. People like you and I, will keep on giving in love in a blank cheque and never learn that people are more cynical than they seem. However, it’s never the end of the world until the sigh of suffocation doesn’t rise above the one that Bob Marley says in one of his writings . Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake up the same way each night and out cry the emotion till it’s over. I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own pessimism. When there’s a out rage of that emotion and rage that arises, it’s best to forgive and love back like friends. Friendship mends all wounds, it gives a little smile and lessens tears, gives rise to new hope that no matter what, even if things fall apart there’ll all be friends and that is something nobody can take away ; that happiness of being. The happiness of being is nothing, it differs from all we have ever seen and ever done. The emotion travels to far land and doesn’t come too often.
Love is like a stab in the back, it hurts and leaves u astonished. The only thing that keeps the that person alive is the respect you build up gradually. That ‘respect’ will be a book mark in the pages between. Being with his pictures I feel a pain, like a frozen knife stuck in my chest. An awful pain, but the funny thing is I'm  used to that frozen pain and my very existence are one to dissolve .
The pain is an anchor, mooring me here. A sad fact, about life is that you see the very things you'll never adapt to coming toward you on the horizon. You see them as the problems they are, you worry like hell about them, you make provisions, take precautions, fashion adjustments; you tell yourself you'll have to change your way of doing things. Only you don't. You can't. Somehow it's already too late. And maybe it's even worse than that: maybe the thing you see coming from far away is not the real thing, the thing that scares you, but its aftermath. And what you've feared will happen has already taken place. This is similar in spirit to the realization that all the great new advances of medical science will have no benefit for us at all, thought we cheer them on, hope a vaccine might be ready in time, think things could still get better. Only it's too late there too. And in that very way our life gets over before we know it. We miss it. And like the poet said: The ways we miss our lives are life.”
 Only I will remain.I will stand by you in the toughest of time, like the sky by it’s sea, you’ll never face despair in my presence I promise. The rage I have, will dissolve in the lake of going away. Years to come, I will stand there, where I used to stand with you. By you and call it friendship or humanity, I will do it no matter how much you avoid your being and my being. I will splatter happiness over you and throw u in it as much as I can and if u shall resist, I’ll pull you back in place.
Hear me out, I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love but there are times where I’m nothing but a person in there. I hope not to do that again, to get attached, it’s a sin. I know !
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken into more than the fatal ways of this earth. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully in little luxurious covers; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the a pretty old shoe box of your selfishness. But in that box, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
 But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.Nevertheless, There are people in the world, who are just wrong, and then there are the masses of population that are right, or at the very least they lie in the veil of between. I on the other hand, do not belong to any group. I don’t exist. It’s not that I don’t have substance; I have a body like everyone else. I can feel the fire when it burns against my pinkish skin, the rain when it caresses my face and the breeze as it fingers my hair. I have all the senses that other people do. I am just empty, inside. And then there are always clever people about to promise you that everything will be all right if only you put yourself out a bit... And you get carried away, you suffer so much from the things that exist that you ask for what can't ever exist. Now look at me, I was well away dreaming like a fool and seeing visions of a nice friendly life on good terms with everybody, and off I went, up into the clouds. And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot. No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all. All that was really there was still more misery-- oh yes! as much of that as you like-- and bullets into the bargain! Someties, all u want is to be loved and love back.
I didn't think I was in a morbid mood, but it appears I am. My mind goes round and round trying to figure things out, but I always come back to the same two things: Loneliness and Death. Life ends before we figure anything out, most importantly how not to be lonely. Solitude is fine. But feeling like you have no one to love - abject lonliness - is not alright. I was lonely. I felt it deeply and permanently, that this state of being on my own might never disappear. But I welcomed the lonliness, which had everything to do with being anonymous. I realize full well how hard it must be to go on living alone in a place from which someone has left you, but there is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for. Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends & edges of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there, maybe ! ?



In true sense - It's hard to tell the difference between the actuality and granted relations, between my love and yours. Between reality and the workings of the heart.
