The Step Beyond It

what is our mind other than a rock, rolling through a landslide? inevitable as it rolls, and yet on an endless quest.  meeting many of its kind, it barely stops, does that indicate it has forgotten what’s its origin? Different rocks are seen, all sizes, many try to stop him, but what does the rock do? it bumps, skips and jumps off them, even through them. yet, you’d wonder, “but doesn’t it go downwards?” what our minds must’ve assumed by now is, downwards equates to failures.  isn’t that a very naive way to look at things? our mind doesn’t wander off to nothingness for no reason, it wanders off,  because it knows; what we’ve been thinking about. you’d agree that you’ve never wandered off, thinking the usual and possible things, it’s always been something visionary to you, right? when the landslide is over, the rock finds itself isolated.  maybe overthinking does misguide you, from what you aspire the...

maturity cometh not from age, not even thy rage. it be only attained through numerous ordeals, also from thou sufferings which your soul fails to deal. even this knowledge was attained by me, when i was left on my own and was with nobody. today i am seventy years old, oh, my father, all the things that you told, have always proved to be true, but today i am older than you. you never reached seventy, and thus, i don’t posses the knowledge, of how things shall be looked at. but somewhere in my mind, have i formed my own ways to look at things. what frightens me is that now, i may know more about life than you, i may now know about somethings that you never experienced. however being bold in this belief of mine, i realised that you still know something more than i. i thought that i had experienced everything that you did and didn’t, but then i realised i do not know how it is like to experience, the cold clutching hands of death. ...

maybe genuineness can be found, in the most unusual way. maybe peace can be found, in the most unusual place. maybe respect can be found, in the eyes of the most unexpected person. maybe we can cry, in the most uncertain places. don't doubt the unknown. being invisible to reality won't help. sometimes, with the dearth of vagueness, we skip the realisations and jump to conclusions. elevate your perspectives, and you'll witness, the recklessness of ours, towards assuming.

"you held on to the edge of the rope, even when you had the ardent desire to elope. you didn't just stay here for the pleasure, you hung on even at times of displeasure. then came the day, you weren't there. but only your memories were here.  i should've known that it would’ve always worked. but i pulled the plug, and even smiled.  of course, i relieved you of your pain,  but i realised i was the one who fell in vain. it was like i threw the rope to you, you gripped it tight, and i cut your light. i owed you forever, now i won’t, ever. i know i’m selfish Jake. maybe the coma was temporary, and i wish the reports had varied. but i was scared, it was always the same every day and each day rarely changed. i remember once your nose twitched on its own,  i  hoped your habit of fidgeting would never leave you, but i realised that was the last movement of yours i ever saw. goodbye, my dear husband, s...

We all have the privilege to watch movies and learn about many things in the world. Movies expose us to a great deal of knowledge. Relax, I am not going to hold a debate on movies. I mean, “only if my blogs were so simple”, right? We have watched many action films where all of us have seen a gun, right? Hold that thought till the end okay? All of the decorations of action films are defined by having guns, and yeah, fighting skills too. People of Iran had been living peacefully until there came a king, a ruler, who was as cruel to people as we are to our self-health.  Admission of the king resulted in seclusion of freedom of the people. He changed all the legal policies and obviously, made it a dictatorship. The Iranis were troubled. One of the couples with a young boy decided to stand against the dictatorship. Pretty gutsy move right? Well, the only flaw in their rebellious decision was that there was no plan. But they were motivated enough to do something. The...

Everyone has a chapter in their lives that they never want to talk about. They always think that that chapter would make them vulnerable in front of all the people. Sometimes people understand that we need our personal space and that we don’t want to share our secrets and they leave us alone. The rest of the times, some people bug us too much, and we end up having an outburst. It may be of fear, sadness, anger, despair or sometimes we just can’t handle our emotions, and a combo comes out. Some of my readers may have already experienced that outburst. If you haven’t, you will. The people who leave us alone, the people who bug us, just want to know what is wrong with us and what is keeping us troubled. So when we have an outburst, for them it’s like skipping an entire chapter in a big, fat book. So they will always be a bit confused. But it is always the quietened hearts that make the loudest rumbles ~⚡️ Speaking of books, if you all, my fellow readers, are novel-readers...

Our brains want certain things and without them, we will never be satisfied. We assure everything by doing them a couple of times. For example, knocking on the door twice, or even thrice. Clicking the volume button a thousand times even if the device is at its maximum potential! Funny how such things prevail, and yet go unnoticed. I've said this twice that unless someone mentions all these whoops of joys, you will never pay heed to it. One such example : Waterfalls. I have known mankind to cherish happiness. I have come to know that happiness comes to these creatures only when they move forwards or upwards. I also learned that victory is achieved when the counterparty surrenders, and not when there exists a peace between the different groups. Mankind is strange indeed. If they cherish felicity, why do they come to watch me? I neither move upwards nor do I provide any speck of hope. I fall. Throughout. The cliffs push me about like the pirates terrorize the laymen...
