My fingers encircled slow and smooth around her chest, as if they were dialers of the rotary phone.

எரியும் காட்டினை
பிரியும் வேளையில்
பறவையும் காற்றும்
போலே நானும்
மீளா துயரினில்
வீழ்ந்தனானேன்
மனமுவந்துன்னை
பிறமனை என்று
விதிவழி தன்னில்
மதியுணர்ந்தாலும்
நேற்றைய நினைவில்
வீற்றிருந்த நம்
வார்த்தைகள் எல்லாம்
தோற்ற மயக்கங்கள்
போல தோன்றிட
ஏற்ற இறக்கங்கள்
தேவையில்லை என
மாற்றம் வேண்டியே
எங்கும் இதயத்தை
மூர்ச்சையாக்கிட
காத்து கிடக்கிறேன்
காதல் காட்டிய
காலதேவியே
காலனவனையும்
காட்ட வேண்டியே!

I'm a piece.
I held you responsible
Accused you of pelting promises
Solid as stone, that hit on spot
Now that I'm shattered,
I reflect upon every piece
And as I relentlessly tend to find
Was that really you
Or was I so badly broken already
So badly that I dint even know
I'm into pieces already,
All that I have to blame you
Is for gracefully walking in
And forcefully fading out
Dint you realise, what you did?
You sneaked through the bars
Of concrete cells that held me captive
While I was waiting for the day I'd be gone
You whispered vicious hope
That my nightmares were back bringing me smiles
When I was busy choosing the color for the "us" in dream
You disappeared into thin air,
Having my head stuck between the bars
Puting me where I belong,
Letting me slog, cause that's all I deserve
While I was making days and years with you
Reality chimed like the hour hand that went past
The dark nights ceased to glow bright
And you're all right, am just a piece.
But this time, broken for you

Being not bad is the new good

Coward isn't the one who fears,
but the one who doesn't attempt
to overcome it

Dear new day,

I would show up!

10 years from today you're going to wish to punch the person responsible for your failure.

You yourself don't be that.

Take a cup
Fill it up
Soak it in water

Boil it
Oil it
Keep it aside

Tan Tan Tan
Heat the pan
Keep it in low flame

Eat like biggies
Saute some veggies
Top it with herbs

Add the cream
And mushroom
Sauce it all well

Hunger clock chimes
Oh its Pasta time
Serve it hot when done!!

While practicing social distancing
from people,
I'm also practicing emotional distancing
from love and life
