Emotions augment survival. Any intense emotion stems from the desire to rid the self from something else. There is no permanent emotion, only a permanent interest exists. Alas, we are born humans : 'the thinking animal', our innocence is lost when we open our eyes to the world.

Some of us are incapable of showing our disappointments, when trust is broken. Maybe because of the shock factor the heart and mind goes numb. Hollowness fills the being and there is complete silence. The sense of happenings around are overpowered by the ‘loud silence’ within. The tears want to break free but are exhausted to ‘walk’ by the ‘sunken’ lanes. Sitting alone aimlessly seems like the best possible alternative. B...

There was this man, who could read, souls battered, unhappy and free. He was gifted with vision from the Gods, and he was to manifest them into rewards. It was painful in the beginning to see, the sad side of human misery. The sadness so deep it marked the soul, and scarred it forever like a secret untold. Then of course there were some, who were yet to know; what they were to become. Confusion reigned their hearts and mi...

INTRO : Falling for the fallen angel and at his mercy was she... I love you she said And that is your blessing and your cause for remorse Cause I know who you exactly are Satan And care for you everyday, evermore All those doe eyes that you brought tears to and all those dreams undone maybe it was just a jest for you but never again will it be done. For I love you Satan and you are responsible for me And you know that too...

A Duet/Jugalbandi by : DREAMCATCHER & MILEEBANERJEEOGN Such joy she brought each time she came.. Now she's gone and I don't feel the same.. What light she gave to my darkened space.. Then left too soon without a trace.. An empty heart and tear filled eyes.. Hide behind this man's wretched disguise.. He thinks of her within darkest night.. A moonlit shadow across his sight.. Was she ever there or was it just magic.. To nev...

There comes a point in time when everything seems like ‘been there, done that’. Things boil down to an open or close chapter, you stop enjoying the chase and see through everyone and nearly every situation. Well this is what is happening to me right now, I have been fighting my own battles for so long that the ‘fiercely independent’ tag seems too ‘habitually tight’ around my neck, much like a noose I would say. The univer...

If ever was never To be forever How would it be To know such things Happened for real And the dilemma Born out of the fear If ever was never To be forever............. Never a negative Against the positive Standing in the path Succumbing to be: If ever was never To be forever............. If ever was never To be forever I would fight every inch in me To see that ever was forever And never dismissed forever to be.

Dear Friends, The silence was drowning me into my innermost thoughts that seemed to sprout from ‘second week’ at my new assignment. The cream and maroon cubicle with an entire glass wall on one side and an endless stretch of green reminded me of the museums I frequented with dad as a kid. So much beauty, only to be ‘seen’. I hated the butterfly corner they had in the museum back then…beautiful, rare (endangered some of th...

I walked alone in the graveyard of my own dreams, And stumbled upon memories in time. Over my shoulder I could see, The moments passing by. I walked on pebbled lanes and bylanes And a wild lily in the way caught my eye. It seemed to have grown in the graveyard soil Unattended, wild and divine, For the purpose of beauty was felt In the most deserving place once a while. How and when the tears rolled Will always be unknown...

In a swarm of faces, I find me Standing alone wondering what is to be Closing my eyes to the time about to come Living the dreams inside my closed eyes numb Discovering that there is more outside than the darkness in me and waking up to the fact that the only constant is ‘to be’ ‘to be’ what I am destined to be To live it like it is meant to be To be the woman of my own deeds done And to live this life with regret none To...

For once I thought I lost you to time For once I thought I lost you to reasons that were not mine For once I thought I lost you To people unknown And for once I thought You were gone For once I did not know what to do For once I thought all this because of you But today when I saw you walking my streets With sadness darkening your face in streaks I knew you had reasons of your own For wanting some time and being alone And...

My entire life is a mere shadow of my own existence. My struggles, my sadness, my pain, my happiness and my achievements all making the shadow taller for those who want to see it. To understand me you got to live my life and be with the people I encountered. The people I met shaped me into what I am today. None were good or bad, just catalysts devised to decipher their own creation and dimensions more than it defined me....

Sometimes while walking next to you I wonder Whether you want me Or is it that You are so lonely You can’t see me at all Whatever it be I will not let this doubt Over ride me It is maybe just a phase And you will come out With your head raised And happy in your heart You will be When you realise I was always Walking next to thee.

Jibrail had been to Anga Pradesh – Monghyr earlier. In fact all the princes from far and wide had to devote some years here. Anga was known as the best ‘prasikshan kendra’ for multifarious pursuits. It had the best gurus for battleground trainings in arms and acclaimed spiritual healers and gurus for yoga and overall mental and spiritual development. It was here at the ‘prasikshan kendra’ that Jibrail had learnt that the...

I have cried now and then Felt the pain flow in my veins Lived my sorrows In the ‘living daylights’ And been scared From the shadows at night And today when I stand alone I feel so…………….free I am me and me I am And I found me when I was lost And lost I was for a long while By my own fears And past moments in time And today when I stand alone I feel so…………….free It took a while to forgive me For reasons that I couldn’t see...
