Glance Over.

27th august, 2104

So, here I am again with my periodical rants about how my life has been stagnant and/or boring, and to bore you readers again! (But then, you do have this option of not reading this and instead, surf the YouTube for cat videos or porn or TV series on Netflix, I’d advise to do the latter ones).

So to speak of it, the past couple of weeks have not been too pleasant. Hectic actually! But then, who doesn’t have a hectic week these days? It was tedious by all means of literary meaning, tiring and hardly of any good result. Moderate maybe! I’ve been bouncing off here and there…library, CBSE office, school (oh and when I say CBSE, please create a mental image of a slow creature, just like any government office in Delhi, or in the whole country!). It would have made sense if these trips were for me, but…what made sense was the visit to archives, that was necessary. Perils of dropping a year for your M.A; your parents, your relatives, your neighbors, their relatives all become the pseudo motivators to engage in some course for a short time. I am yet to figure out why the neighbors are so much concerned (yes, the nagging aunties I mean). Then there was this worst news, Robin Williams passed away! Well, death is obvious and, well you get the point, what really disturbed me was the fact that Mr. Keating committed suicide (that was shit!), but then, as my father says, the one who makes people laugh is the one who is shattered the most. Tears of a clown I guess.

To speak of the days in another aspect, the pujo month are near! The only month I look forward to for the whole year. Less than a month and I haven’t planned anything yet. Well, I guess it is for the better of things I guess! Whenever I plan things, so much so if the word crosses my mind, the whole universe conspires to fuck it up (ref. last year’s navami pujo). And then, there is another thing about the pujo, it has gained a new memory! Last year, something beautiful happened that helped me to understand the subtle things of life, like falling in love, and staying there, to smile alone when you are walking on the road and stuff like that. Since then, the pujo last year, I’ve been breathing full and my heart has been skipping beats. The monster of Frankenstein lives... (Pun intended).

There is so much going on around, its like living in a controlled chaos. And maybe, the chaos is the herald for the incoming peace. Maybe, I don’t know! I don’t want to.

Regards.

Alien

It’s not uncommon that everybody gets their heart heavy every now and then, that’s something which is beyond our help. As a fact, almost every emotion is beyond our help. Much to our dismay, we can’t control it, neither in ourselves, nor in others. But what we can do is talk it out, share it with someone whom we find close. It can be anybody; friends, relatives, the person much closer to us, the list is small but not that limited.

But there are a few, to whom these above stated persons are a luxury they couldn’t afford, me, being one of those. Sure, I do have people whom I can call friends, I do have someone who is much closer to my heart, even more than I am to myself, yet, if put plainly, I am alone. Alien. I do call someone my best friend, rather claim him to be my best friend, but the truth remains that I myself am unsure, uncertain of my acquaintance with people. And this isn’t some recent development; I’ve known this from school times, amplified in magnitudes these days. Maybe the wall that I built has been too high for anybody to scale and come to the other side. Whatever my emotions are, they remain inside the wall. If I am angry, it stays inside. The same happens when I am hurt (humane huh?) or am let down, disappointed, or even if I am happy, it never gets out, for there is no one to share these with. I just grit my teeth, or smile foolishly on my own, carrying on. Maybe a deep breath comes out but that’s it…I think!


 These emotions, in time, they just form a concrete brick and settle down, and in a longer run, they melt and wash away, unnoticed. I can’t ask anybody to reciprocate accordingly, neither can’t ask for a promise, yes, maybe I expect too much sometimes, but then, I realize, in this mist, I am on my own, alone, alienated… 

regards.
