Disparaging Own Individuality!



Blue as the sky
Or, blue as the ocean?
Seamless water,
Or, lucid cloudy sky?
..
Pretentious profanity
Or, ostentatious fidelity?
Prickly revelations,
Aiding smothering shambles!
..
Ahaan?
Seems like the night's going to hit hard!
..
Confining yourself to
Minuscule trickling stream of thoughts?
Or, making out a way
Far away
From all the superposed apprehensions?
......
Isn't it funny to see a pattern
In all the disclosures?
When all you need is a chance of "self-closure".
Where, your very own insatiable self-ego,
No more asks for a heavyweight set of apologies ,
For every gesture
that was a move towards disparaging own "individuality"!
..
It's funny, I know.
That's what you're thinking.
If not you, maybe most of them are.
And even, when not "the most" of them are!
I, still am!
And that's not even the worst part.
..
But, the worst part is
I love the cliffhangers
Or, maybe that's how I have groomed myself over the years.
Trying to find a hook,
Get attached.
Or, maybe
Cling to it till eternity.
..
Guess, what?
Who leaves a part of himself?
Everytime he moves from one hook to another.
It's "me"!
The hyperactive soul,
Trying to fit in the trajectory of "masses",
Far away from my very own self-reliant anomalies.
..
In the awake of these trajectory of masses,
The only problem I had is moving on from "people", at times.
(Basically, the set of individuals who were more than people, but my insatiable ego is learning to fit in the trajectory of masses.)
So, Yes, the same "people"!
Who have forgotten,
The chime from the past,
When the cliff meant
Each other's back,
And hooks were the superlative bonds!
(Period)
..
When the calls were answered,
Thoughts were reciprocated,
Freedom of thoughts felt for real,
And things were a little less ostentatious!
I told you, cliffhangers!
..
Whatsoever the case is,
Or, no matter, how blue the sky is or ocean is!
There is a sense of belongingness in this "blue".
In this particular hook, at this instance.
Which has been defying the order of my insatiable ego to break through the self reliant anomalies .
No wonder, for how long!
Ahaan?
Seems like the night's going to hit hard!

"बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है।" . . समय का चक्रव्यूह तो देखो, कभी इनसे दरियादिली तो सीखो, जो सव्यं कभी परवचन देते थे, मानों भीतर से खोखले हो गए हैं सब। . . क्या कहना इस अकेलेपन के बारे में? माना भीड़ का भाग हो तुम, पर इसी भीड़ में कहीं खो से गए हो तुम। इस बंजर बस्ती की प्रज्वाला से मानों, 'संस्कार' कहीँ लुप्त हो गए हो तुम! . . लिखते हैं आज साधू राम, तुम्हारी हस्ती कितनी हसीन है! खामोशियों की इस लड़ाई में, मानो भुजाएँ सब सिमटी हुई है। . . लिखते हैं आज, गौर से सोचना ज़रा, . . कौन तेरे कौन मेरे? फितरत में ही खोट सुनहरे, दो घूट मन के अंदर, चार अलफ़ाज़ मन के बाहर, कह रहे थे बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है! . . समय का चक्रव्यूह तो देखो, अब न इनसे कोई दरियादिली सीखे, जो सव्यं कभी परवचन देते थे, मानों भीतर से खोखले हो गए हैं सब। . बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है, किसी किश्ती को सहारा ही तो देना है! मेरी नहीं तो क्या हुआ, किसी और की सही! खोखले हो तो क्या हुआ? खोट तो हम में भी हैं! . मन में कहीँं प्यार नहीं तो क्या हुआ? कम से कम तकरार के रूप में ह...

"Bruises of Love"

Covered in the thread of dark colored clothes,  I could see a smile on her face!  Her make-up was minimal,  Hairstyle on point! A not so common shade of nude lipstick,  Complimented black Kohl in her eyes! ... A galaxy of intellectuals have gathered to mark her existence,  And just like others even I was stunned looking at her innocent face!  I don't know what was written in her faith,  But it would have been certainly better if I wasn't there at that place. ... Yes, Yes, I'm aware,  I've compared certainty with faith here,  but there are things that outlaws the idea of right doing or wrong doing and all we have is that particular state!  This was one of those peculiar moments;  It's not like this was my " first-time " But with her, yes it was!  She pointed at me and winked,  and signalled me to follow her.  I hesitated for...

"WordSmith"-Sure?

"What's the worst form of fear? To go through the same guilt again and again!" .. You know,  I have trust issues! Some literal ones Which are quite depressing At times.  .. When I hit the rock bottom I just re-live them again.  .. Now, think of you Making the same mistakes Which I shouldn't have  At first place! Isn't the moment of "self-doubt" for real? And it takes a heavy toll. .. Probably, that's my problem It definitely is. I tried to stop myself From going through it again and again. But seems like damage is done. .. A potential damage  That often restricts my spurted flow of words out of mouth. Though my rants are all set to be lashed at someone Full of despair and complaints! But now these thoughts seem to be hitting the thin walls of my veins Making their way to the hyperactive pumped brain And there I feel a hard pricking pain against the cranium! .. As i try to hold myself together I just pass out  And it seems as if  There is ...
