Flashback Forests: January 2012
http://flashbackforests.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
When the music races ahead of the song, in a world that does not exist in your reality, this is what you have. January 02, 2012. Sometimes, when I am travelling back home from work, I shut my eyes. In the bus, in the car, in the train. Sometimes, life around me is a bit too overwhelming, even for me. I work in an industry where advertising and selling form the core of my job. Everyday. Everyday, we come up with ideas on how and where to show ads to people. Sounds that tell me I am alive. To a Younger Self.

Flashback Forests: May 2014
http://flashbackforests.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
When the music races ahead of the song, in a world that does not exist in your reality, this is what you have. May 22, 2014. I have imagined, often, what it must feel like, to die. Do I gradually lose awareness of my body, one part at a time and slip away? Do I become excruciatingly aware of it as the mind recedes and the life force that I am makes it's presence known? People do it all the time. My home is this promise of death. This promise of closure is why I live my story. My journey may be im...

When the music races ahead of the song, in a world that does not exist in your reality, this is what you have. September 13, 2012. And the incredible challenges it throws your way. No matter who it uses to get to you, it will always, eventually, bring your focus back to the one most important person in your life. And you, you will still not get it. You will still not get why your insides melt in quietude when you see a heron take flight against a thundercloud. When you embrace a lover. Links to this post.

When the music races ahead of the song, in a world that does not exist in your reality, this is what you have. July 08, 2013. When you are silent inside, you have very little to say outside too. Have you wondered why the world is so noisy? Because behind the noise, there is silence that makes it possible for us to hear it all. Can you tune everything out and listen? Try it. Listen anagrams to silent, after all. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. To a Younger Self.

Intricate Interpretations: I have a dream
http://intricateinterpretations.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-have-dream.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. I have a dream. I live in a world where violence is an everyday occurrence, where rape is no longer a rarity, where war is the route to peace, where politics decide fates. I live in a country where money can buy justice, where corruption is a way of life, where education and food are luxuries, where child labour goes unchecked. I live in the knowledge that I have a dream. I have a dream for my generation. I have a dream for my country. India's growth maybe messy, chaotic and lar...

The child scrambled back into her chair, wiping tears and clutching at a pencil to fix her mistake. Her father glared at her. She caught a glance at her mother, ladle in hand, also glaring at her. She erased the equation and started again. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. To a Younger Self. Chapter 2 - Reminiscence.
