The shell
stagnates

The road
lonelier

The laugh
faker

2:00am, 9th Aug

She thought it was a joke.
It sure was.
But she had never imagined the joke would turn into the biggest truth of her life.
Time flew.
Love blossomed.
But real life could not be as mushy as the reel one.
Distance mattered
A lot
for them.
The arguments
The Silence
The society
The norms
Ha!
Strange it was, for sure
Love, like they say is 'blind'
but they saw ahead
too ahead perhaps
And
a crack
they saw
Tears fell
stuck in the
middle of nowhere
or maybe somewhere
they could not see
'Friends, we shall be forever'
they vowed.

She thinks it is a joke.
It sure is?

The painting


I sat to paint
looking back
I saw a
'plain'
'dull'
'colorless'
feeling
and
The strokes of life
splashed all over
the abstract mind
Irritated as ever
I held the brush
and
gave my feelings
a pause...

'Stage Play'


Seeing them
on stage
I went back
in time
once again
when
I used to
blend into
characters
Jealous
was I
as I felt
the urge
to do something
new
different
Time stops me?
People stop me?
Situations stop me?
or
Am I...

the birthday parties


' Happy birthday to you....Happy Birthday to you.....'
And..whoooosh..
Wel, those were the days...when mums used to go through ol' recipie books to make the BEST LUKING birthday cake..and ya, it had to be YUMMY too :)
Those were the days..when the best friend used to get the 'honour' of knowing all the 'secret' games of the party..(as if it were some 007 plan!!..oh cmmon, it was no less)
Those were the days..when decorating the house with balloons and stuff was such a BIIIIG thing!
Those were the days..when none of us felt embarassed to wear those special birthday caps..

Those were the days when 'return gifts' were a fad!!


I guess..I am way too old..or perhaps feel so
way too old for 'planned' birthday parties..where kids are specially invited by sending 'hand-crafted' birthday cards...where specialised event management offices are called to 'plan' birthday games! What could be more exciting than musical chairs or passing the parcel or pin the donkey!

I guess I belong to the early man era :|
But I am happy to be there.
With my memories, I 'sign out'
and feel 'sad' for the kids of today.

Cheers.

06.Nov.2008

Well, I was a part of this short film festival..and I must say it was an amazing experience..Quite strange but true, not many films have affected me the way these 10 min films did...And not only did they 'affect' me but also left a 'long lasting' mark about various other issues.
I cannot just 'jot' down the synopsis of any two/ or maybe three..films..because almost all of them were different in some or the other way..and I am not here to flatter them or get some kinda job!! but am serious!!

PS- Thanx ayan sir and krishanu for the amazing compay...and the stupid jokes..and the discussions..and the photography 'shoots'...the fest couldn't have been better!!! ;)

Move On



'Move on'
they said
I wonder where I am going.
Days after it..why do I still feel..lonely..guilty..
whatsoever
an 'insane' feeling
which is
'trying'
to come out and shout
'UGHHHHHH'
None of this makes sense.
Never did.
Never will.

The End


No more
can I
play the
game of
'Illusion'

'Absurd'
is what
the figment
of mind

'Face'
no more
can I
see mine

'Elysium'
may I call
this
place

'Deception'
is it the route
to
'never-land'

'Lost'
am I
in the game
of nowhere

Stop
as
I am going
Nowhere...

Saturday, September 13, 2008

Ha!

Against the norms of the society
here I go
'again'

A sense of
excitement
in me
'again'

'Ha'!

....

I feel free
my dirt
all of it
mine
don't even dare
touch it
my people

is this what
he meant by freedom
Am I feeling it?

Can you??

Abstract-ness



I wonder sometimes if the 'abstract' in me is alive..Seeing things the way they are is not 'me'..A great man once said, "See beyond"..I laughed at him..How could you see beyond things?..they are supposed to be the way they are 'here'..we are not 'taught' or 'made' to do that!
I don't think many people would agree..or maybe..understand the 'logic' of 'seeing beyond'..ha! a wonderful 'experience'..if i may use that word!!

Ma, I am sorry...

No longer am I
the 8 yr old
girl
who hides in her
room
after a 'prank'
and
says
'Ma, I am sorry'

The block

Blank

another blank

Desperately trying to get
out of this 'block'

and go back to my
dream-world

Not today
I guess

The wait goes on...

6:02pm..

Seems I have become quite a 'frequent blogger'..never expected this to happen, cos I prefer the 'pen' to a 'machine'...still do!
Well, met the old hostel gang after ages..I am really bad in maintaining contacts..ha! and someone wants to pursue PR!! Moving on..came to know many of them are shifting back..sad eh! I still remember the way we used to curse this place ..and look..have we fallen in love with it?? I guess we have!

...



One of the best phases of my life :sigh:

Artsy-Fartsy

People often make fun of me saying that I am too 'idealistic' for this society..maybe..Well, I won't get into the argument of idealism now..but would like to tell all about this movie called 'do aankhen barah haath'..It is based on an 'open prison experiment' where the 'jailor' takes 6 prisoners to a barren land in an effort to make them 'human'..The change is gradual and is 'believable'..
I would love to interact with prisoners someday..especially in India..and would love to study their behavior..
There are various moments in the movie which actually make me think if a prison could 'change' the behavioural pattern of a person or worsen it..

I - a fragment

They call me
'bad girl'

a girl with
'attitude problem'

a girl who does not follow
rules

a girl who does not want to know
how to cook curry
or wear a saree

_ _ _ _ _

I am
the girl who shouts at the society
and believes
that the day is not far
when there will be a
'Revolution'

_ _ _ _ _

They hate feminists
call them
'bra burning' bitches

They want freedom
freedom of?
freedom from?

Lost in its many connotations

it seems it means
anything
to anyone

_ _ _ _ _

7:26pm..

If anyone..ever asked me..'can you give me a shortcut to happiness'..I would say..it's dance!
Since I was a child..whenever I felt sad..i would just turn on some music..imagine myself in a show..and just......dance...dance...and dance..!


They say,"Bodies never lie.''

'Rains'


I miss those rains
the
rains
which took
away my pain

Raining

today
I feel blue
I feel grey

Alone
I am
here
in this city

I wish to be kissed in this rain
Oh rain
Let me sing
for once
'I miss those rains'

9:03pm..

Current mood- very tired

4:28am...

Aimless...yearning for a cup of coffee..one look at my room makes me wonder what could be more 'messy' than this!! yuck!
I have been missing dr nandan and sanchi a lot..the discussions...after-class-arguments!! our fav hangout- my garage!! our mission- to 'educate' the society...and spread awareness!!! ha!!
our life- sociology..feminism
I was 'free' then..cos I had sir with me...We were together..a 'classless' society..however small it was..it did exist!
His words..'There will be a revolution!'

Gone are those days?
Do people...move on?

Free..at last

A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning

Say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, the past and the present
Fly on bird
You're free at last

Loneliness

Loneliness like a good friend, old friend
visits my house to pour wine in the evening
And we sit together, waiting for the moon
and for your face to sparkle in the shadow

Faiz Ahmed Faiz

A girl

No choice was her own
"What have I done?"
she shouted

You're a girl
and you'd better not forget that
My 'soul'
is under 'his' control

Today I am supposed to
'smile'
My life is in the hands of a 'man'
who like a puppeteer
will make me dance to his tunes

The goal- to win my heart

So I say once more
You are a girl
and you'd better not forget that.....

Dream


Was it nothing
but a dream

I feel i could sleep forever
Just to dream you again

Oh! Here I am
in this world
Hoping to see your face
one last time...

If only I could
feel that touch
express my love
kiss you once
...
Is that really asking for too much?

'she'


with a vision
she was born

eccentric was the word
she used

passion was the feeling
she had

power was the belief
she lived with

- - - -

Oh!
'she'
why can't I see
you?

'she' said, "no more do I exist,
no more can I live
no further can I breathe
in you..."
