Streaks

By


Of restful days, where time wills away like a sundial,
Unstoppable, eons of ticks and turns …
This a day, like few in the past,
Where hand wraps around ink and the mind synchronizes with the present.

It has been days of nothingness;
Excruciating moments of doubts, unawares, and a constant flow,
Growing, learning, and expanding borders.
Today, like the few limited occasions where the hand meets ink,
where the mind rhymes to the tune of the ages…
The pen speaks of new beginnings, new experiences, and new joys.

This little jolt comes from an unknown space…
One yet to be harnessed, but full of promise.
One thing has stood out, man is no island …
We feel, we experience, and we express.
Limitless borders of expansion.

Outstretched, the arm gropes for a light,
Amidst the vast expanse of growth…
Scary face… Call code that washes my head in forever,
I know there is hope, in these waters,
Nonetheless, I can hold onto my hopes whilst drowning.

The freedom of the skies; that star evokes free will,
She roams; she flatters; she twinkles, She mesmerizes,
Bright like the lone sun that lights eons of light years,
Notwithstanding, none yet , understands the star’s language.
He, that thinks water flows as it wills, doubts why the sand bends to the same law.

But again. Nothing is promised,
Walk each day, or even roll like a tortoise,
build your own castles; no one really judges,
even your heart beguiles to the beat of a pretty face,
instances change, and as they say, tomorrow will be better.


Memoir #1; Summer 2022, BP.

Learning the ropes.

By
A reset is something that hits you when you least expect it. Just like sickness, it knocks at your door at odd hours, bringing with it a period of great adjustments and shifts.  A bit of a background story, a couple of weeks ago, I was reading an anecdote by Norman Vincent Peale (the father of positive thinking) where the author posits that one should change their thoughts if they wish to change the world.  This got me thinking; all those instances where I have seen people on the streets or in restaurants in seemingly boisterous conversations and showing broad smiles unassumingly made me think that they might be living life happier than mine. I assumed that they were happier than me or even smarter than me. Instances are rife where we sit in our little apartments imagining what it would be like to be someone else.  That feeling that we often behold that everyone around you seems to be doing better than you, or the one where we feel that piles upon piles of decks are stack...

Fears and Wars

By
He has his own fears, often he beholds his own wars, some days with a raised face and at times with a downcast smug.  Hate and love are two perfect sides of a coin, there is no in-between. He often tries not to judge people that he rans into amidst the craziness of life. Some new, some acquaintances and many that he has known over long conversations. His type of conversations covers short spurts of strenuous "hellos" and "heys". The amount of fake charades on people's faces and actions always makes his heart cringe; not with fear but with a lot of pain. It takes a certain amount of opening up to get to let people into his life, especially when one is reserved. And when he does, his life resides there; a center of unhinged openness . He hates changes and often a great deal is characterized with a Traditionalist view. He likes to see things organized in a certain way; less drama. Untidy workplaces irritates the comfort in him, and interrupted schedule screws up ...

A synopsis of a dearest Friend's Gift.

By
A very good friend of mine gifted me a wholesome book a couple of months ago, while I was departing Budapest. The book, has given me an interesting yet fulfilling perspective about life. Thank you my dear friend :) It goes without saying, questions did find a way to squeeze in between the love of literature. The book, "Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Café" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi is a sequel to his first novel and continues to delve into the mystical and emotionally charged world of a unique café in Tokyo. This café offers its customers a singular opportunity: the chance to travel back in time. However, the journey is governed by a set of stringent rules: They can only visit people who have been to the café. They cannot change the present, no matter what they do in the past. They must sit in a particular seat. They must return before their coffee gets cold. The sequel introduces a fresh set of characters, each with their own deeply personal reasons for wanting ...
