Life goes on...


I take a deep breath and believe, life will go on
Life does go on...

A few bruises here and there, a few tears I shed
Life still goes on...

There are moments when I wonder what makes me take the pain,
what  makes me the weakling I have metamorphosed into
what would turn me back into a flesh and blood human being
But, I get no answers, nature remains silent,
Life goes on...

The words flow no longer, the blog remains un-updated
The novels sit and wait for the typing to resume
Publishers vye for my attention, in my dreams
Dreams have dried up too, long back, I know not when
But, despite all this, life goes on...

My toe hurts badly after last  night's attack
The bandage draws attention and out pour the questions
Reluctant,  hesitant, and untrue answers bubble forth
Honor, they say is to be guarded
But, in the midst of it all, life goes on...

I know not when the last time it was when I sailed free
like a bird, up above, high, with not a thing to bother me
not a care about anything remotely unpleasant
I do not remember anymore
Life, goes on.

More posts will get posted
Novels will get published
Poems will get written
But, my life, will not go on.

    The toe might feel , the solitude will always thrive ...I used to think that Solitude is temporary state ...tears and words will work like a glue ...they will make the solitude firm ....solitude will help bloom the persona in the closet but the yearning for affection will not die...may get strangulated ...but will not die ...

Defining LOVE for the Chennai audience :)

Love - An oft misquoted term, which simply means a plethora of misplaced hormones going into overdrive. A strong feeling of magnetism that tries to pull two confused beings into a bubble, which tricks them into a false sense of joy and serenity. Love, is a shortlived emotion. Let it rest! Love, that springs from the bottom of the heart when a week-old baby gurgles at you, has a longer life than the hormonal surge. I am not talking about honey-sweet emotions connected with mothers, siblings and flowers, puppies etc. I am not even talking about the babies sleeping on bathtowels, like those in a Anne Geddes card. I am talking about the bonding between two unsuspecting people, who are unable to behave rationally once they are "bitten" by the love bug. Why I chose to call it a bug, is that once you are bitten, you become devoid of rational thought and behaviour. You tend to forget things, as your hard disk is on an overdrive trying to store images of your beloved! If only you coul...

Nithya Suresh Kaun Hai?

Nithya Suresh Kaun Hai? Well, this would be the case a few hours ago. But now, 1 hour later, its a fact. A simple yeah, has completed my journey. Maybe I am crazy to say yes, without even thinking. But I had already decided to say yes even without meeting the guy. The Groom, to be exact. Suresh alias Subramanian, would have been my Prince Charming. A would be husband. But destiny had other plans in store. Suresh, withered away without even a trace. My beloved parents spurned him. He was shooed away, because, he turned out to be something else that he originally wasn't. His lies, had turned him into a non-performing asset. NPA. Suresh had to go. He had not completed the formalities. He had lied about his qualifications and job. He had to be stopped from starting the engagement formalities. A phone call took care of that. And an e-mail did the trick. I was relieved. Woudn't I?

Goonda-ism - Very common dis-ease

Have you ever seen a Goonda? Well, a goonda is a person, mind you it can be a woman too, who is just chickened out at the thought of showing people their weakness. A goonda shows of his (for the time being I will consider the male version) biceps power and tries to scare people into believing that he is the best. Well, most of the times he is wrong! He is just plain scared to face his inner demons and thus he tries to mask his inner demons by acting demonish on the outside. I have seen many goondas in my life. There are educated and uneducated goondas. There are goondas with a suave tongue and sleek cars, but nevertheless they are goondas. They can be bankers, engineers or even a rikshaw-wallah. But inside they have this devillish itch to show off their "goonda-ism" to the public and try to gain that extra edge that life has somehow snatched from them. One goonda lives in my apartment. He is a lawyer. I like him so much that I have been nurturing a wish of pushing a bucket fu...
