They claim....

that I have mellowed down.
that I have lost the essential thing that made me me.
that I have changed.
that I cannot be selfless.
that I cannot lie and cheat.
that I do not know how to say the things on my mind.
that I know not how to exchange pleasantries.
that I have given in to pleasures of life.
that I have tried and failed not many times.
that life still has a few lessons to teach me.
that I need to cry my eyes out.
that they are ashamed of me.
that they sometimes hate me enough to love me.
that I still need to sort my past out.
that I need to speak my mind out to them.
that I need to think more and make my decisions accordingly.
that I can still be childlike and talk to them about my loves and lives.
that I ought to write more and give up on this job.
that I should learn to love myself unconditionally.
that I should try to be more "normal".
that I should spend more of my money.
that I should learn to make more inspired moves towards the fairer sex.

Can life teach?

It actually began, quite reluctantly. Unnecessary as it may seem, life teaches you what you allow it to teach. Even Life cannot teach you what it offers you. One has to let himself dissolve into the experience and let it sink in, and that I might call religion or education. Whatever the other person is willing to accept. Nay. Does it matter? Nay. Life is about teaching oneself. Being a self-thought-taught "person", picking up bits and pieces from various experiences, I tread on a path; I have myself laid out for myself. Never have I asked, in other words, begged for words, from "messiahs". Never did I think myself of having enough virtue, call it patience, to learn from others. So "rich" were my experiences. Things change, dynamically. Responding to an open question, throwing caution to the winds, I immersed myself into a debate, with people who thought, had streamlined their thinking apparatus and abilities.

Can you hear me?

When the last tree has fallen, When the last drops of water are polluted, When the last bird ceases to sing, Will “they” realize that money cannot be eaten.

I had been troubled for a pretty long time at, what seems to me, a race to extinction. I am an educated, liberal and informed individual. Having been educated at the best of the institutions, I developed a deep admiration for Mother Nature and her so “wily” ways. Listening to my Guru and his talks on “biomimetic” methods, I sensed a deep concern in him. Of late, all he talked of was “Green” Chemistry. I connect to people, people my age and people “not” my age, irrespective of who and what they are, thanks to my rootless upbringing. I used to be appalled at how short sighted “genuinely” gifted men can be. Talks of Dollar salaries, Ivy League scholarsh...

The void...

I feel empty. I feel raw. I feel rotten. I feel like not feeling. I have nothing to show, if someone to ask me about what I have achieved in my stay on this planet. Nothing. what is a few flirtations with literature, knowledge, pain and sweat. No blood. No tears. No medallions. No gallantry. Ah! I am disgusted with myself for being so ordinary. I deserve the void for I do not work half as hard as I could. I am wasting my life.
