It was a different time...

I feel like running away. Infact I am running away in a few hours.When I left home to create my own perfect new world, I was so sure of the way things will turn out be. And I often end up creating only the a slow lazy solitude with a eerie silence engulfing my thoughts. I am torn emotionally, for my heart and my mind agree and yet I do not settle the scores. Ever seen anyone you love hang between the two hells. I have been sitting in ICU's and waiting rooms for the past nine days. The pretense that I care has gone too far. I mean I know it can only end one way and still for the person you love most, you do as they would like it. You talk of things that you think they had want to hear. you dig this one small hole and watch them from there.

My Dadi is a godly person. Since 1938, she has woken up at 4 and worshipped God. Thats a crazy 70 years. She has been on a ventilator for the past nine days. I wish I could count the number of tubes she is on. She has had a full life and yet. I mean, I had expect an easier death. A death, simpler and faster. What do I say? Its rotten Gods and Godliness. There is nothing to the concept of God. Its just a concept.

Death. It had been a very vulgar concept and in some ways it has changed what i feel. it seems like a desirable thing now in circumstances when you can't do and when prayers go unanswered. Maybe god does not listen to fools like me, but then there are better people around and they deserve to be listened. So God, you seem less likely every day.

My Mom and Dad have decided on standing by and fighting it on their own terms. They have surprised me with their stubbornness. Dad is not dealing with it well. He is in his thoughts and he is sometimes full of regrets. His eyes say them all. Mom on the other hand, while complaining about her hand and health is working harder. She had be sighing yet the food would be there and so would all the things that you need. They have bettered themselves with the single minded dedication and made me wonder if all the intellectual masturbation I do, if that is worth it, if thats the way to go. They sincerely are better people than I can ever be. and Dad says so will I be, once I know what it means to love unconditionally. So there is hope.

Raizada Heritage Fund and Trip to Woodlands

I have a confession to make. We don’t have a sofa at home. We seriously don’t.. Over the last two years, whenever Vartika has broached the touchy topic of a Sofa buy, I have ended up doing rants on how the money saved on not buying a Sofa would be able to feed us for a month, in case startup went bust. (And no, I was not counting on dumb UPA government allowing Sharad Pawar to make billions running amok on the vegetable and cereals market and looting us. In that case, count that sum to last for mere 15 days. That rant is for a separate day) Imagine a 30-40k sofa and me eating it, like the borers mostly do. Tough to imagine and sad to think of. So I return to the sofa tales. Vartika knew I had make her do with those mattresses. You know how dumb I am, relentlessly pointless. Unfortunately I ran into an Ariean, and that too my Mom. She looked at me and the mattresses and then again at me, and I went ballistic. From the sensibility of an accountant, to the eruditeness of an economist (De...

Time for Retrospection

Withered away, the burning heat of the day Evening silently soaked the heat within Wearing the diamonds came the night O’ Soul why are you silent, smile!! Three things have affected me lately. Hope, fear and death. Silently they walked past me in the night and left me awake. Gasping for breath, a parched throat and burning eyes. These days have been gloomy because days are heavy with tension. Work and nothing else. I need to relax and let the natural “me” take over. But it does not happen. Rather I cannot let that happen. Reading a lot these days has been a need. A need because I need to exist in an unreal world where I can be what I want to be. It would be difficult to be that in the real world. I even pretend to dream these days. Pretense has become my entire life. Every moment of my life is “pretending” to be me. I am doing it for the fact that people might not recognize the “real” me if I were to show them who I am. Living a life where everything is drive...

Ah'men!!

Last weekend, I was thinking about how people tend to post more about negative experiences in their lives than about positive ones. Today is no exception. I feel kind of bad about having such a negative attitude, but writing about things makes me feel better and refreshed too. The first time was after Puchee told me that I have a super ego and that I have an inferiority complex. Personally, I don't think I have a super ego or a complex, but every time I hear him them say that, I feel as if there's something wrong with me; as if a part of me is somehow wrong. Those feelings of not being normal have been accumulating, and today they seem just too much to ignore. I finally asked him why he thought I had a super ego and an inferiority complex. He said that I seem to get really defensive when we talk about people, people we know and discuss them. I t is that I always tend to blast them away and their accomplishments. He was specific to the way I talk about women in general. H...
