Dance Dance

She’s moving with the beats
Chasing thoughts from end to end
To the choreography of the sentiment
Of being free

The song in her head
Moves her starkly and wholly
She’s entrenched and trapped
And ecstatic
Then it builds and it builds

She has lost herself now
The trance peaks and soars
And reaches a crescendo
So she stops
And breathes
And wonders
The mysteries of her thoughts
That make the music
Finally revealed

Illusion

Deep in the crevices of one’s mind, an entire lifetime unravels.
There is the story we see for ourselves,
The one that never pans out.

It is quite remarkable.
We have the self, and the idea of the self.
The mind dominates all senses,
The heart all choices.
Pleasure can be supported by this myth,
But happiness rests only with truth.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

25 Point Guide

This random things business has been doing the rounds for quite some time. I think its pretty lame. But I caved.
-->
  1. Emotional fool
  2. I love playing and show remarkable persistence in learning a sport. I’ve started playing tennis again. Its freakin impossible to get back in form.
  3. Lazy to the point of being mistaken for a rock or some kind of dead weight which exists only to take up space.
  4. I love my brother more than anything in the whole world.
  5. I inwardly wince or involuntarily make a face when I hear a word being mispronounced. I’m not proud of it.

  9. I envy people with great hair.
  10. I would rather read a book than go to a pub.
  11. I have a larger appetite than most people I know.

If Wishes Were Horses..

I’d be a mule! Haha..

Well, the title does not pertain to the content of this post, which is not very definite as of now.
Today is Valentine’s Day.
.
.
.
.

That line has me hemming and hawing for about 5 minutes. I am what you would call an Agony Aunt in matters of the heart. A lot of friends seem to find solace in pouring their hearts out to me even if I don’t seem to have anything concrete to offer in terms of advice. This year seems to be break up season. I am not aware of a single relationship around me which is equal and balanced. It is oddly disturbing, but we always bring attention to our flaws and overlook the other person’s misgivings. At least in the beginning.

So coming back to Valentine’s day, all of us have made plans, to meet SOME one, if not THE one. The idea is to look busy and feel wanted. Love is a many splendoured thing. What it isn’t is a commodity. This is a day designed to sell you the idea that cheap cards and roses guarantee eternal love. What about those of us who are stuck in awkward relationships, those who are single or pretending to be. I think there are too many mediocre things in life and love shouldn’t be one of them. Of course, that doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be a day dedicated to romance. It should be called Every Day. This is going to change a lot of perceptions about me, in a not-so-nice way, but no matter how often I fall on my face, I can’t help but feel ineffably moronically like a sucker for love. It is a beacon within that does not obey logic or reason.

Carpe Diem.


I know what you want. And I know what you need. But I'm gonna screw it up, yeah, cause I'm an idiot. And I'm your boyfriend.
