Clear 'n' enough

  You are standing in the middle of the road while everything passes you by. It's like sitting in the backseat of the car looking out the side window, the trees and the houses passing by way too fast and you can't even slow down cause it's not you in the driver seat.  I t's an unknown person right there, you don't recognize him. It's been 12 years now, the last time I lifted my cricket bat and went out to play without knowing this will be the last. Things started to follow and my childhood faded but the dust on my toys didn't. They are still sitting up there; like some treasure only for me to find them when I am not looking for. It's not just my childhood that's gone; what about the  "Dreamer"  in me?                                      This might sound sad but trust me it's not, it's only a part of the process. There comes a time in your life when you realize how importan...

“Do you read often?”   The little kid asked me, looking at me as if asking for an answer in the most poetic yet simple manner. “I do, when I need to escape the reality.” “Now what is that supposed to mean, why would you like to escape the reality when it’s all you have?” *****                                                                                                There is a war going on, the one which we fight with ourselves and the one where the heart and mind are  cursed to exist toget...

“khud ki talash mei khud ko hi kho rahe hai hum” #lost myself along the way to discover who I am “You broke your promise” My 10 year old self screams at me. I stand still, looking into her eyes that twinkle with hopes and dreams, a new dream every day, a new hope, a new goal, a new promise to self, a new moment worth remembering, within a second I see all of myself that I left behind a long time ago. Today when I look back, I realize I left a part of me that I never realized I ever had. “ Into the starry night, I gaze into infinity, wishing upon a falling star, will it fulfill my wishes or pass by like any other dead star” I have gazed into infinity, talked to an unknown body that doesn’t exist but seems to grant wishes, maybe the hope of finding myself, the old me who dreamt with eyes wide open kept me going, to search a little deeper, to look into the unknown, to wish upon a dying star. But today I stand here, on the verge of tomorr...

 BATTLE SYMPHONY - "When you refuse to give up"   There comes a time in your life, when all the strength just fades away and you feel like drowning in your own fears and giving in to your demons that haunt you every other day. When all you want to do is curl up within yourself, hug yourself tight enough to get broken pieces back together, but sometimes they don’t, these pieces are scattered into a million little pieces that are hard to put back up. In the darkest of your days, when you are sitting in the night all alone thinking where it went wrong, a sinking feeling creeps up into your heart, you start to overthink. Each and every thought you have is worse than the previous one, your mind starts to crumble and you start to shake, this hatred towards yourself keeps on increasing by every minute that’s passes by. You sit there and all you can hear is the voice of your thoughts asking you to give in to your inner demons, but then there’s a moment when...
