I feel like telling a story. A story that raises questions on our society.
Once upon a time in a long far away there lived a boy. Not much is known about his past except that he was raised a rich kids with his own luxuries, his unwillingness to work and wanting much. As he grew up all around him grew distant because we all need someone to talk to and he was shy and quiet. With time he started feeling as if he is the most lonely soul in the world.
Similarly once upon a time there was a little girl who was raised like a princess. She had dreams, desires and ambitions. She loved to dress, talk, dance and meet people. Somehow as destiny rolls out life it has its own plans and this simple cheerful bubbly girl was transformed into another lonely quiet soul who felt unwanted by the series of relationships she went through. At the end of each one, she was made to feel the wrong person, the unwanted one. And so her life went on.

They talk about a pyramid wrt to Psychology. A pyramid of needs and desires. Each level has to be fulfilled before we start comprehending the next. Most of us never realize that.
Most of us are born on one level and die at the same level. But then some of us are able to go either up or down the pyramid of needs. I cant comment if up is good or down is bad. It just is in a way.

I was talking to a friend today. We were discussing sex, which is the most common topic in a guys conversation. And like most of the other days we were trying to decode sex.
So around the same I was thinking about 3 things and instinctively they felt different. Sex, Fucking and Making love. I believe there’s another aspect to intercourse but I do not really have a name for it.

When I tried to write
And the morning came
The paper still was empty!
I had been silent
Yet the words spoke
Tonight they just had vanished
My thoughts wandered
To the last few nights
And the story I had written

I just finished another epic book. 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. As always with his works, I am left in a state of hangover. There is definitely something about this guy which makes me crave for his books. In itself Murakami is a genre of books. If you could refer to something as Shakespearean then probably you can call his books Kafkaseque ( which of course represents his most famous work Kafka on the Shore ) .
The book is a story revolving around a limited number of characters. There is Tengo, a big 30 year old math teacher cum novelist. There is Aomame ( i love her name for some reason ), who is a fitness trainer and then there is Fuka-Eri or Eriko Fukada, a 17 year old girl who wrote a book Air Chrysalis. Somewhere in their lives the usual year of 1984 changes to a differnt time. For convenience sake its called 1Q84.

Call it an emotion. Call it a way of life! A lot of us are here because of this. Reminds of the Delhi Police slogan : With You.For You.Always! ( I hope it was Delhi Police )
I have often come close to writing about lust but well I always got carried in emotion. Finally though I got there today. I pushed myself that no matter how hard is tries to seduce me, i would not give in to lust.

The night is still cold
I am still sitting here
Shivering at time due
to this sudden breeze
There’s no soul in sight
Its one of those dark nights
Where you just sit alone
And all there is that stone

I have been searching for long
A place my own
A place I would like to call home
A place where I’d come
And forget all there was
A moment of silence
A flash of dawn
And wherever I go, it follows

The last one year has been full of changes. Not just for me but the world around me. Just the magnitude of the things have increased so dramatically. From all-sweeping tsunamis to earth-shattering earthquakes, we have seen them all in the last one year. We have also see uprisings and struggles at the scale we never had before. We are witnessing change all around.
And so it is with me, who has changed too. I look at myself a year ago and there’s almost a mild mischevious grin on my face. I was just very naive maybe or just young. I have grown in this one year. I have experienced alot maybe as much as the 2nd/3rd year of college put together. You might even add the few months at Cisco and still wont be able to match the last 10 months or so.

I walk on these empty streets
The night has fallen
There’s a song in my head
The one I sing
But the words have long been forgotten
I try to remember the words of past
Nothing comes to mind
And finally when I am about to give up
A voice murmurs from behind

Its been sometime since I have written. A possible explanation as provided by one of my Chinese friends is ‘You are Happy’. If i try to analyze this statement, well yeah i have been happy and hence did not really have the urge to write. I have been happy about a lot of things. I have been sad a bit too. But i have not needed to write because maybe I had an outlet to vent out my frustration. ( Nothing serious, it might just be my new secret iPad)

You are breaking down
In front of my eyes
And i am wondering as to why
I can see that look
That asks me not
To ask you again a why

I was wondering about the new India rising up. We are all rising up. Up up and Up. Up against what i wonder? Somebody whispered its up against corruption? The one word that has become the motto of every man, woman and child in India. We all wont corruption to end like it is Ravana from Ramayana itself. And if there is Ravana we need a Ram. And we found our Ram in Mr. Anna Hazare.
Its pretty convenient actually. Someone started a small fire promising food and we all join in for free food. I mean anyhow we don’t believe we can cook by ourselves so we decided to move into a house where someone will cook for us and who knows even feed us!

Its been long time since i wrote. Its also been long time since i felt like writing. Its been even a longer time that i had something to write about. And even longer for some of the things that have happened to me lately. Another thing that has happened after long is that i have felt certain things!
There are the good emotions that i have felt lately. But somehow I have always believed that i have got over anger, hate and jealousy. I mean there was nothing in this world, i felt, that could make me feel this significantly. But then something happened. I came across someone who resembles Wesley Mouch of Atlas Shrugged OR Ellsworth Toohey of The Fountainhead. At the beginning i had no real interest in him, so i was hardly concerned.

Talk to me, say something
I am waiting for your words
My eyes are closed
And yet still open
Unaware of this world
I am playing this song
The one you hear
Words drifting on the water
They come but slowly
Like the wind, and get lost mid-air
I hold your eyes
And then your lips
A vast gulf separating them
And then in this moment
I die, happily forever!
