Ehh ... It's something on my mind !

I have always felt whenever I am confused, I write. I start and words seem to fall into place more like helping me out, providing me with some kind of direction that may be what I need at the time. But today was not all that same. I was caught in the web of something which even I wasn't confident about saying were my own thoughts. I was surrounded. I was hearing echoes but couldn't differentiate between the original sources. Where was my mind loitering?

I already had a long walk with people discussing Aam Aadmi Party earlier today bickering about whether or not it was going to come to power. And if it is not, us Indians are solely responsible for our own dooms as in it was some clandestine fact, kept hidden for ages. Talks like these are surely one of those few times when I just cave to people’s referendum guess I always tend to lose my interest as soon as it ends with 'it should have happened this way and not the way it did'. Because frankly, dude! I should have been the Prime Minister of India, but am I? No, right!  You work for a software company based out of a country which is like a continent away, building projects for another company residing two-three continents away from your place and in turn you think somehow you have put India on lines. I mean what the hell? Have you lost your own sight? Why do you choose to avoid reality? Is it like you wanted to have an “expert” opinion about something you had no freaking base for and since you had no substance to back your stance,  you play the ‘wild-card’.  Pretty coward of you don’t you think?

Crap! This was not even what I had on my mind. But this certainly would have contributed to the whirlpool inside my head. Let’s get on to my older pace. I finally let go of all my thoughts. With everything around you seemingly tightly knit, everything quasi-perfect, you can’t even go to people and whine about your crazy ideas or writhing you might say to them.

So when you are stuck with none but yourself, you go to your safe-place, a place where you feel cocooned up, wrapped away from all ‘statics’ of your life. It took me a few minutes before I realized I had none. I went up to my roof, yea right. The movies and series have taught us this much! I sat on the railings. I am there sitting, overlooking what? There was nothing. What was I thinking; I was not in Mumbai overlooking the seas from where I was standing. I was stifled with all the buildings around me dawning upon on me. But the only good thing was no Doppler Effect calculation was going to keep me from singing my throats out thinking I might just be disturbing people going on for strolls down in the streets. So after all my ordeals if you are thinking what then pulled me out of my supposed “misery”, I would love to thrash an imposition on you, “not everything is decipherable”. And I am still smarting in the pains and agonies of deciphering the undecipherable. Guess some part of our life are better left un-revealed.

Was she the luckiest?

Woke up just to find ‘twas a dream, Drenched in the ecstasy of loneliness. But he was nowhere to be found. Tears in her eyes, She knew she had defaulted. Again. How could she face them all without him? Selfish, had she been again? Not sure! Opened her windows. Desperately waiting for a  sun to dawn. But a mirage featured, Because  it was too good to be true. Sitting on the curb was her man, Her soulmate! Scampered she to apologize, Just to find him with his arms wide opened. Surprised, was she the luckiest?     __________________________________________________________ Link to Trifecta Homepage:  http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/   This is my response to the Trifecta weekly challenge, which is to write a 33 to 333-word response  using the following word/definition: ECSTASY  (noun):  trance;  especially : a mystic or prophetic trance

My life in the box

I live in a box. My world may seem strange to you. But, it’s not as bad as you think. It does have holes in it which lends me some fresh air from time-to-time. You may think I must be scared of the big-burly cat living on the outside but I am not. We are kind of best friends. I can listen to all the chatter from outside.  But now I can close my ears whenever I want to without anyone seeing. The holes, I must reveal now, ain’t my best friends either. They complicate things for me because I can’t feel the total darkness here because of them. Just when I am about to, rays of sun from these holes try to illuminate it down here for me as if I am some impotent chap, not capable of doing that on my own. They just don’t get it! So if they are not going to stop playing this naïve game, they are going to get a worthy opponent in me. And so in retrospect, I plastered few of them with black paper. But now, right this moment, I want to live out in the open again, enjoy the warmth...

Trifecta : Rain that saved her ! - Episode 3

It was a Saturday, a normal day-off for everybody else that she had gone to the office with the dying hope of her project meeting its deadline, that they actually met. Both have been working in the same offices for quite some time, more like a couple of years, even sitting in the adjacent cubicles but they had barely interacted; except from the occasional hi’s and the good mornings’. There was always a reluctance, a sheer hesitation in his eyes even when they would rise in order to wish her the same. To everybody, he was just another workaholic who would move out of his cubicle, make a beeline to the pantry, take coffee, and make another beeline back to his place. So, that day, just for company’s sake over lunch, she asked Vishal to join her. And since then, everything had started falling out of place. She had expected it to be a sour company, a dull conversation if at-all. Out of courtesy,they offered each other, Vidya offering him her self-made  matar-paneer  an...
