THROUGH THE DAY


She is relentless.
Over the years, she has been wielding power.
I remember the slogan, she had introduced us to – Mother, Earth, Human.
We were waking up to brightness from an era of darkness.
Her arrival on the political canvas had meant independence from hooliganism.
Sorry to make a note and blow a bugle of caution; she has reversed the course of hooliganism and remolded it into something worse than that.
Her political demands have never followed a pattern.
In the past, she was a rebel, I had personally looked up to.
Today, she is someone, I don’t wish to even catch a glimpse of.
Her speeches are punctuated with hatred.
The least, I had expected of her was to witness an unnecessary change – West Bengal to Bangla.
What next?

She is talented.
Today she turned the stage into a space of well-choreographed miracle.

I read through the reviews, she had curated to be shared across.
It didn’t take me much time to realize; I had missed out on a real talent, performing live on stage.
Till the eventuality of ‘next time’ resurfaces and she decides to dance on stage, I shall wait.

She is unpredictable.
I know it was not on purpose.
The language is to be blamed. The time is to be held responsible.
During late hours, none of us are at liberty to weigh the impact of words.
I might have overreacted; it seemed so unnecessary the next moment.
Just a word, to think about. In the end, everything remains the same.

She is happiness.
I am sure, she might have repeated the shade of yellow.
Her fondness for that particular color isn’t hidden.
It was her birthday yesterday. She made sure to wear the shade, which always makes her happy.
Our conversations were too thin throughout the day.
But somehow, I left her craving for a cup of tea, just through a menial conversation of mine.

She is trying.
I know, it is not too easy to tolerate someone who has grown unpredictable.
But life needs to be balanced between possibilities and probabilities.
I think someday, she will definitely get the picture right in her mind.
Maybe that day, her anger and her irritation will also settle down.

She is daredevil.
In the toughest of moments, she will end up sending a message, which will guarantee a hefty laugh.
Her approach towards life is so positively driven, I am timelessly greedy to continue seeking inspiration from her.

She is calm.
Storms don’t move her a bit; emotional storms to be precise.
She never reacts. She neither overreacts.
She prays. She prays through days. She prays through nights.
All she has is the one, she gave birth too.
She makes sure, he continues to live his dreams and makes their dreams comes true.

She is clueless.
Guided by wrong people, her mistakes are not to be counted or discussed about.
After a period of time, she is to be forgiven and forgotten.

She is she.
Spending time amidst children with special needs isn’t easy.
But she does it with envious ease.

Through the day all I sensed…  

She is some kind of a mystic medley that surrounds me.

NOMADIC BY CHOICE

Ralph Weldo Emerson had once quoted
“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air”

From the time I discovered this quote, my mind hasn’t stopped slipping in and out of a meditative state. Every action, I’ve been initiating since then has been a lot more footloose, free and fun as well.

Talking about being footloose, free and fun, reminds me of the nomad that I’ve been seeking for a long time. Therefore, today when I settled down with a sane mind to think, I decided that I would rather write things with a nomadic bent of mind.

I can sense the nomad. From millions of miles away, I can sense the nomad. Do I need any words to describe it as well? I am fine being the nomad with the nomad.

The transition may seem sudden but it isn’t. The transition is a result of many untaken journeys to barren lands, forgotten destinations and unheard philosophies.



I am enjoying this transition. Even though it is just a week now; the nomad and I have been together. We are exploring. The nomad is invisible at the moment. Right now, the nomad is an imagination, which doesn’t necessarily demand to be presented in a human form. Is the nomad human? Undoubtedly the nomad is human. I would rather say - "I am in love with my Dear Nomad. Let the world count my words and sense through."

The nomad is immune to all opinions. The journey with the nomad too is immune to all opinions. To sum it up, I am in a mood to celebrate this nomadic state of being rather than staying stuck in fulfilling expectations.

My desires are in place - “To live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air”

But I am not alone anymore; this fertile phase of transition is with me. The nomad is with me! Cups after cups of coffee to run an unending marathon of words. Thankfully the thinking nomad's soul beats within me to keep me going strong and take the right turn to destinations undefined!

At this moment, as I stare at a blank piece of paper, I can envision the path ahead. There are challenges; big, small and unimaginable. But are these challenges going to pose a bigger challenge? As if I care! The path that I am envisioning right now possesses an element of distance; a distance that can’t be gauged or covered within a span of few hours. The presence of the nomad is the truth. The truth now is nomad.

As I reach the end of this post, I would like to open an imaginary bottle of champagne in my mind and spray its contents on everybody around it. Why am I celebrating? The reason is something; I think the other half of my imagination, the nomad is in a position to reply.

Days will conclude as weeks, weeks as months and then months as a complete year. Happily, there will be no regrets. Because even if none of us travel solo or together, the journeys would continue in full swing.

I see no reason to better conclude this post without bringing the nomad’s words into play - "The cleaved soul of the Nomad was left open to fix up. The other Nomad shamelessly slid in with love and stole it forever."

ABRUPT LOVE STORIES

Picture Courtesy: Google Images
The time has come to bid adieu to sugarcoated love stories. In my opinion, all the visible sweetness is mere illusion. Or somewhere we are still trying to convince ourselves to stay believed in pretentiously sweet love stories! But they aren’t sweet. The line between love and lust hasn’t blurred but it has vanished forever. It is this cusp that makes me realize that love stories aren’t tender any more. Thankfully I have accepted the fact and I am not convincing myself to try narrating a sweet love story ever again.

My abrupt love stories take place between a Certain He and a Certain She. They don’t have a name. They are invisible to your naked eyes but omnipresent. Do they believe in religion? Are they victims of communal tension or soft targets of fluctuating faiths. Do they pray? Or they are happy being atheists! Are they rich or poor? Do they indulge in sex? Are they bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual, metrosexual? Are they sound, sane and in control? Or simply rebellious, wild hippies! Do they smoke and drink? Do they sleep with different people on different occasions? Have they been living under the same roof or they have been renting apartments in numerous cities, and disappearing without clearing dues for months! Frankly speaking they are an interesting twosome of a Certain He and a Certain She.

Both characters are a sum of their vices. Before He knows it, She is already done plotting something against him. By the time She comes to know of a certain action, He outsmarts her by being constantly, lethally active against her. I haven’t met these two characters in person. But I have met their exact opposites in the many journeys I have smoothly or abruptly embarked upon. Be it the certain He or the certain She that I am talking about, I know them of being emotionally unattached to each other.

The Certain He and the Certain She I have been talking about hide nothing from themselves or the society. They live within the stories and breathe within the stories. At the end of the day, their stories, which are so abrupt by nature, continue to matter the most.

Abrupt Love Stories are my hottest obsession, passionate possession and unmistakably my most favorite creation. Will these abrupt love stories culminate into a book? I am not even thinking of it right now. What if someone tries to copy them or copy the style? Did I say the stories are not getting copied, shared or reproduced? And I would never say that the style is yet a virgin. Thankfully, if searched by the hash tag #AbruptLoveStories; most of the results and almost all the results bring into fore my series of Abrupt Love Stories.

When I started writing the couplets with the hash tag attached to them, a few eyebrows were raised. But these are my #AbruptLoveStories and why should I reveal the source of my inspiration? If you wish to know more about these stories, follow the simple path – READ THEM, FEEL THEM, LIVE THEM.

All the love stories, which are abrupt in nature derive inspiration from the hidden side of the lives, we live without sharing a thing about them. My interest stays anchored deep in there. Where else but that little seed of abruptness, I observe in the love stories that most of us are faking like fake orgasms on a bad night of abrupt sex. Therefore if you come across a love story that’s sweet; chuck it and suck up one abrupt love story at a time.
