Pointless

The past weekend, I had been to my native. And when I was at a petrol bunk, someone just drove in on his bike & it seemed to be someone familiar to me. Only later did I recollect that it was one of the lecturers who taught us physics in our first year of college. He used to be fondly called ' periya mokka ' - not without reasons. And I couldn't but other than be reminded of the following. It was the a few days after the second mid-sem of my first year, and he had just then distributed to us our answer sheets evaluated. I knew I hadn't done well, in fact, it was one of my worst, and I was very much prepared for scoring less than 20 / 50. It was 17.5. And like always, we were also asked to check if there were any queries / clarifications / any mistakes in the totals, and very soon there were a few surrounding him. I went up to him too, and patiently waited for my turn. "What?", asked he, in his signature blunt tone that would kinda sound accusing anyon...

The War Within

The rich are on horses The richer on chariots We’re mere footmen In the war that’s this life. Chaos every second Stampedes every moment Traitors everywhere, and Why are we still here? The ray of hope is lost The days of agony begin Wish I breathe my last Right here, right now. Love weeps out of loneliness Wealth keeps making us jealous Minds keep trembling with fear ‘tis time we finish this miserable play. There’s no second habitat Nor will we ever know Make this one better Or let’s perish together. Greed is now the norm, and Contentment remains a word The wealthy author our history While we suffocate in peace. Science gets stuck in labs With barricades by governments Influenced by the misers Who loyally erode this Earth. Gone is the soothing wave Lost are the smiling faces. Machines are made to act humane For the fear of the loss of our nature. The Earth is crumbling within The ignorant Earthlings wander The doom is spelled too early And the...

Stop. Listen. Crazy.

I sit on my cot, leaning on a wall, fiddling with my phone. I'm at awe with Android, which makes me think of an operating system, and in turn Linux; Windows; I stare at the window next to me, and I see that it's raining outside; water water everywhere not a drop to drink; poetry; how I'm so terrible at it; what else am I terrible at?; literature, music, dance; arts for that matter; who knows it all?; Kamal Hassan?; what phone does he use?; a Moto in vEttaiyAdu viLaiyAdu; Goutham Menon; viNNaiththANdi varuvAyA; love; singledom; #ForeverAlone; marriage; kids; house; car; social pressure; job; money; economy; politics; corruption; desire; misery; humanity; evolution; science; technology; engineering; electronics; communication; telephones; mobiles; Nokia 1100; Lumia; oh, how I wish Nokia had made an Android phone; Android; I'm still looking at my phone. A circle of thoughts gets completed as another begins, and I try to shut it down, only to fail miserably. I've bee...

thath thvam asi

At the end of a roasted day In the warmth of a lonely night I look at my window expecting a breeze And gaze through it at a lonely star. A star that arrives there every night & Yet remains dead for a million years Why am I destined to stare at it? Just to realize I'll die too? The world's so strange, for all I know. And my experiences, so very few. There's a design, I'm so damn sure. And it's all but just impure. The star looks surprised for I'm here just tonight. And I already begin to miss The dead one I met last night. Do all dead become stars? Would I get to be one too? For I can twinkle forever And laugh at some mere mortals.

To live is Life

Life is to live To live is to Suffer To suffer is to fear To fear is to cry To cry is to weep To weep is to exhaust To exhaust is to halt To halt is to think To think is to act To act is to work To work is to lead To lead is to inspire To inspire is to live To live is Life.

Fleeting Lives & Floating Hopes

I'm surprised that many of us seem to be living with a sense of disillusionment, despite being in full knowledge of it. Or maybe I'm the only one. In this world where every damn thing done is an effort to win the rat-race, those who refuse to take part in it are by default termed losers, and this is said to be the unwritten norm these days. We live in an age of avarice, and one who is free of desire is perceived to be unfit. The urge to gain wealth, be it material of intellectual or anything for that matter, should come from within, and not from the universe, especially from the immediate kin. Beyond a certain age, one should be free to pursue whatever one wants, but that doesn't easily happen in our country, for 2 reasons: social pressure & moral obligations. One needn't care about the first, but definitely has to, and is forced to, about the second. We’re asked to live all our life for somebody else, just as a corpse following orders not directly stated but brill...
