Sometimes you don't want to reply to anyone. Sometimes you want to leave people on read and don't want to react. Sometimes you just don't want to participate in any conversation.

Everything else just becomes noise when some inner dialogues are happening. That is the most important conversation to have. Is it not? Who else can say anything more relevant?

I am Peter Pan,
I am Alice in wonderland.
I am castaway,
My mind is a mysterious Iceland.

Introvert's problem 1: Everyone was laughing and suddenly all eyes turned to me that made me realize that I was not laughing. The raised eyebrows were asking "what's with the cringe? laugh a little, it's a joke." I have heard that sort of jokes many times. The cringe was a reflex, It wasn't intentional. I just couldn't tolerate those innuendo jokes anymore. Yet, I faked a smile, to fit in. I should have said that I am not comfortable. These are my friends, they would understand but what if they don't and think of me as a snob so I kept quiet. I decided to walk away, giving a lame excuse. I don't know how to say it without hurting anyone that I want friends but I don't want too much of them and I don't always enjoy everything they say or do.

चिंब भिजायचं होत
ग्रीष्मात जन्मल्या रोपाला
पाऊस मात्र रुसका
अर्ध्यातूनच परतला
तृषा घेऊन न बरसल्या थेंबांची
फुलांचा बहर अवकाळी करपला

वस्त्र प्रक्षालना दरम्यान सुचलेला सुविचार :
"डाग चांगले आहेत" म्हणत म्हणत एवढे चारित्र्य डागाळले काही लोकांचे की आता tide ही चकित आहे.

Don't you see the danger of proximity?
I feel safe under my veil of anonymity

Curious to know what is above and beyond
If only there was a small window to life's wall

मला कळत नाही
मला वळतही नाही
अर्ध्यावर सगळं आहे
पूर्ण काहीच नाही

मला दिसत नाही
मी पाहतही नाही
डोळे उघडे आहेत
पण अंधार हटत नाही

मला शुद्ध नाही
मी बेहोशही नाही
स्वप्नाचा आहे उन्माद
सत्य काहीच नाही

मी जन्मत नाही
मी मृतही नाही
आयुष्य सरत आहे
पण मी जगतही नाही

मी तुझ्यात नाही
मी माझ्यात नाही
आपण असलो तरी
आपलं काहीच नाही

फकीर एक आला होता
दारा बाहेर उभा होता
घराबाहेर बोलवत होता
हात पसरून उभा होता
