Darkness Within


The weightlessness remains rooted even when the heart feels heavy, uprooted, bleeding second by second...How is it possible I wonder, weightless but heavy
Feels like life is throwing oxymorons at me 
Challenging me, teasing me, morphing from one emotion to another
seamlessly, confusing my mind into thinking that I am dealing with 
myriad emotions...but its all actually one and the same

 The pain doesn't go away, goes nowhere...like matter, just keeps changing 
shapes...formless sometimes, like air or even gas...flows into each crevice
and fills one up, till oxygen gets choked

 The zillion pieces that lay scattered on the sands are something that I 
do not want to pick up...I walk on...a few pieces stick to my feet and poke till blood gushes out...I wince but the pinch is not as great as the wound in my heart, I manage to smile...pull the piece of glass and look at it with wonder
A miniscule thing, immaterial by itself but when it makes its presence in the right place and the right time, it brings about immeasurable pain and discomfort...by itself it lies inert...waits, patiently for the force to give a fitting impetus to its form and changes the nature. 

 The weightlesness returns to cajole me into its wake
embraces...and entices...you fall...once again into its ever tightening embrace...the heart knows the feeling of lack of oxygen and shrinks...
But...I slip...fall...tumble...into the abyss...darkness reigns.

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?

Being All Parts

Have you ever wondered if you were living all parts of your body totally and completely? Have you ever wondered how it would feel to feel and live with all the parts of your body? Do you know that people only accept certain parts of you. Rest, they simply reject. Maybe, because they aren't so comfortable with the parts. Leave alone other people, have you, as an individual, accepted your wholeness with all its flaws. Do you have the courage to face yourself?
