Skeptical Trajectory

Skeptical Trajectory!

Often, I think of nth possibilities,
Of twisting the "things", "paths" and "crossroads"!
You see, 
I'm trying! 
..
I'm trying to fix: 
The Skeptical Trajectory
That has caged me 
For time 
I can't give an account of!
..
Throughout my teenage,
I have been a follower
Definitely, not of the right deeds 
But of simple "defined traits" pattern.
..
"शायद, यह नज़रिया कभी मेरा था ही नहीं। और शायद कभी पूरी तरह बन भी नहीं पाया। यूं समझो की ऊंची दीवारों के इस 8X8 के कमरे में एक मैं हूं और कमरे की दीवार में जो सुराख है, वहां से आती रोशनी मेरा नज़रिया भी और दुनिया देखने का दायरा भी।"
..
The Skeptical Trajectory,
That I had chosen to follow!
It's funny, 
You know!
It is!
 ..
Sometimes, at night;
I sit on the floor, 
Against the dark,
Extra for a minute,
A Minute turning into hours
As I watch the night sky full of stars!
 ..
There are nights; a bit darker ones,
Full of dangling eeriness! 
That makes me sit for a while and think:
Think and Introspect,
Introspect and Question myself!
..
Questions full of ambiguity!
Resonating the struggles of my mind.
Digging my nails in the wrist
For the cold skin to feel some warmth.
..
As I try to make peace with my fears,
Fears that often leave a scar.
Scars highlighted by my dark pigmented chapped skin,
That are here to everlast!
 ..
Sometimes, at night,
I sit on the floor 
Against the wall 
Extra for a minute 
And feel the strange eeriness in this dark!
To compare if my fears are darker
Or, the shade of the sky full of stars! 
..
And I wonder, 
What if the stars in the night sky are scars too?
What if the things I said weren't said so?
What if I had said it all before?
What if I had not followed the "defined traits" pattern?
What if..!
..
This particular point,
Right at this place,
Turned out to be my defining moment!
Prefixing "Un" before Certainty
For fixing the 
Skeptical Trajectory-
That always added an extra ounce of weight to my existence,
With a pre-written Manual!

Art of Judging People V/S Fear of Getting Judged

Do you ever stop yourself from doing something just because of “ log kya kahenge ”? I do! In fact, I’ve judged myself more than anyone else ever has. There are days when we judge others, but the harshest judgment often comes from within. My own vision shackled me with invisible chains.  A constant fear that kept me from being myself: Fear of dancing in public. Fear of getting clicked (what if I look old, not good enough?). Fear of wasting potential, of not living up to “standards.” The Weight of Opinions Over time, these fears weren’t even mine. They were borrowed from the world around me: Too much affection in public? "Wrong. Don't do it!" Getting drunk? “Good people, don’t do that.” Dating someone? “Weren’t you supposed to make it big, first?" Our society writes invisible rules, and we live inside that 10x10 room of opinions. The walls keep closing in, until one day people say, “ Aadmi acha tha, potential bohot tha, bura hua! ” The Circle of Judgement The circle o...

"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 ...
