The strongest foundations are laid on lies. Built on falsities -- society & religion -- the success stories of human evolution, have flourished.

A few whys
why is it that i always see better in
the dark at night
why is it that i always see clear with my eyes closed tight
why is it that all seems wrong when
others think my world is alright
why is it that nothing seems wrong or
right
why is it that i want to let go and
still hold it tight
why is it that i get strong after i lose the fight
why is it that i cannot see black or white
why is it that i want to live and die
at the same time
why is it that i speak so much yet have
never spoken
why is it that i eat so much yet am so
hungry
why is it that i have limbs yet feel
handicapped
why do i calculate when i can't divide or multiply
why is it that i stay put though i can
fly
why do i seek misery when in joy
why do i seek
joy when in misery

Molesting faith
20-strong mob molests and strips a girl in public view...
Latest news proclaim that 4 of the accused are nabbed...and there are reports about widespread outrage over the incident. From the common man to heads of states, most have criticized the incident. People have expressed shock. Inquiry commission is constituted, NGOs are actively protesting and demanding for justice. However, how does one arrest a certain kind of thinking? Will closing few assholes, remove the shit all around? Not just a case of crime, this is the product of our collective thinking. When a mob is involved and it carries out an act like this in a public place, it becomes the representative of the society. The perpetrators of this heinous act are not just 20, they represent the multitudes of people, our society. This is the real shock element. There are no protectors, we live among wolves and hyenas. The thought of having to live in this dark and sinister world in constant helpless fear is so infuriating. More than the actual act it is the thought behind it that's scary. If a group of people could get away with such behaviour, the sanction of the society had to be there. No place is safe, no one is good.
Only fear and doubt will remain once the intensity of the seething anger diminishes and fades. What kind of society do we live in? What are my neighbours, my countrymen like? The widespread insensitivity makes one cringe at the thought of having to share one's space with others. Tears of anger, anguish and helplessness wells up. Probably, thousands are, right now, sitting in their living rooms condoning the act. Many blaming the girl for having visited a bar, many for being dressed the way she was, many for her being out at night...
Every day faith, trust and humanity is molested and stripped and we watch and partake in the act..

Some refuse to be young
Some refuse to be young. They barter innocence for pretensions. Nothing arouses their curiosity, for they have buried that faculty. Their emotions are regulated and also, adulterated. They need no toy, when money is their only joy. Some just refuse to be young. They are fast, they are furious; they just don't have the time to be mischievous. Every act has to have a meaning, even when they are dreaming. Some just refuse to remain young. Maybe, they don't want to die young

An affair to remember
I stepped out of the bus and stepped into his (her) arms. He (she) unleashed all his (her) charms. The cool breeze, the soothing drizzle, the swaying trees, the falling leaves and the music playing in my ears swept me off my feet. My heart sang and danced all the way to the office.
i wished my office was further away and we could carry on with our affair for ever.

Miss you...

No beginning, no end
The year refuses to end. It even refuses to accept that it had ever begun. It's when one is in this state of so-called transition from one period of time to the other that one actually realizes the fact that time is just a man-made concept. Your heart does not beat to the rhythm of a clock. It wanders beyond all man-made boundaries trying to understand what lies beyond those boundaries. Chaos leads to yet more chaos. Yet somewhere in all the chaos is utmost calm and serenity.

Finding me
Listless, I drag myself through the routine - home to office; office to home. I bow down but am not defeated. Some hyperactive part of the brain keeps churning out thoughts which try to weigh me down. But then, every cell in my body fights against this and lifts me high off the ground. I look at myself from up there and realize i will be alright...i will be alright
