A confession... in the making

A night... cold and clear... makes my mind work and from all the haze I could see the beauty of cold logic that I could crystallize. Of all the things in the world, I wanted someone to answer my doubts on my abilities and wants and needs and desires.
whoa! when I let her go, why do I want her back. why do I want her to be there for me. why do I expect. and lots of similar stuff which does not sound normal and reasonable, but these ail me, constantly nagging me, as i push my tail between my legs and my head into the hole like the ostrich. For once, I was tired again.
So what did I crystallize that made me so clear of what I need to think when I think this and that. that is the best part. I was seeing this third rate C grade english flick, which had nothing I would call watchable and there was this dialogue on "what does one say to people who have answers to everything". I saw this guy tell the other.. you have bullshit answers to all the questions other put to you but I ask you a simple question and you have no simple answers. All you have is bullshit. this is exactly what is true in my case. I have bullshitted my way around for too long. I have theories for everything, but ask me a simple question and I digress, so as to find a complex answer to a simple question. that is exactly my problem.

A confession to make : when we spent our time together, at that time "I" was myself at my bestest. The way I can never be, I was in my best moods, nothing mortal ailed me. You made me glow and you made me something I never was. I was myself at my bestest. I confess that all the time I was afraid that you had find out how boring I was inside. How very lazy and how very tiring my life was. Yes, i did a lot of stuff, but most of my time was spent doing ordinary things and I was afraid that you would not have liked that. I was shivering in my boots all the time. And you were there, looking so very perfect. Not a strand out of place and I would always want to find a fault in you, to counter all the ones I had. I remember the time when you wanted to come over to my house and I had not a single chair to seat you in and I said I would not want to call you home. I would not want you to see me in my mortal mode. I was so very afraid. You were a goddess of first rate and I was just a mortal. I wish I could have seen you as a mortal but you were not. And I always wanted you to have the bestest in life. So I let you go. My bestest was not good enough. I confess. It was a weakness in me that made me let you go away. No fault of yours.

That's acceptance. Someday I will be proud of myself. And I love tigran kernels.

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. Gradually, they pestered; read "lee...

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. Reading these somewhat crazy lines, I was joyous, at being finally able to have convinced myself, that this human race has faintest of hopes of living out the new century. 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.
