Conventional families are happy
on some occasions, bitter on others,
and uncommunicative
and strange elsewhere.

What more a middle-class mindset could do
when it doesn't know that to love is to
both seek and to be sought?

For me, family get togethers and conversations
are nothing but dialogues
composed of unhackable riddles
that I never cared to solve.

Nonetheless, I like to be around them
and experience assorted colors of sentiments
of unconditional love, jealousy,
volatile point of views,
and stupid but mandatory arguments
over trivial matters.

When I'm with people,
I feel like an idle pool beside a rumbling ocean.
I just observe the drama
and my inner response to it,
which often culminates to nothing
but futile self-talk.

I often probe these 'family things'
within the confines of my innate penchant
for paralysis by analysis.
Families are conspiracy theories.
May be all families are under experiment
in some lab.

We are poured in and out of beakers to disturb the spiritual progress.
Troubled relationships trouble more
when we are shaken in beakers and blazed on a burner.

Sorry
Are you sleeping? Okay. Goodnight.
No, I won't sleep tonight. Thank you.
I must first get out of this glutinous phase of life
No I am not stuck here,
rather I have lotioned this to myself
with thoughts I should've beaten up at first place

Thoughts that helm me,
crumbling under everything life gave to me
Thoughts I churn every day
until I get sick and die of them, silently
Thoughts that compelled me to experience
the fascinating relationship between
how our thoughts percieve things
and how things naturally are without any perciever

The day was long
but still I wouldn't sleep
I am on a darkling plain
with thoughts dispersed
that will neither fit in this moment,
hour or the entire night

But you sleep
Sleep is necessary
Someone said to me:
sleep is the best solution for every negative thought!
Because you are not just aware
of any thought while sleeping. Goodnight.

We have for ages appreciated that there are countless stars. But what about clouds? How many clouds are there in the sky? We do not acknowledge — because they do not shine like stars. They are a weightless and some smoky stuff hanging up there — blown from the God’s smoking pot or maybe Satan’s fart. Who cares?

What this world would achieve
for years to come
With this impatient generation
throwing tantrums,
so much yet to experience
so many dreams to fulfil
If the pandemic hadn't happened,
We would possibly fail
against all the dangers
waiting ahead of us

We are at home
We are too free
to give excuses
So we should become productive now

We are at home
We are too privileged
to turn productive
So we should give excuses now

I hold no life in my mouth to utter speech
And even if I could
With what hope
in this intolerant world
would I say: my fleeting desire is you, and you?

The soul suffers
everytime it goes through
a traumatic cosmic event called birth

Death liberates it

-

Physical suffering may be the pain caused by the wounds - psychological suffering, however, is the result of all the battles we ignore

-

And for a person like me,
who romanticize depression,
he must arrive at an ultimate answer
not happiness

A happy emotion is a mere travesty
wrapped around ignorance,
suppressing echoes,
dispatching silent deaths
onto altered falsification called normal life

A life normalized to evade the truth
A life I do not wish to live

Such are the thoughts
I feed my soul
to ratiocinate life’s meaning
