Erosion
I can hardly hold on to the balance between passion and commitment as I look to the lighthouse, feeling the pathway of ships swinging in between shore to coast. Here I am, suspended between the crumbling shore and the night sky and sea, the sky and ships dimming, so enticing it seems alive. What do…

April’ 24
I started my April at 12:25AM. A loved one had sent it to me. Today at 10:40PM, I went back to read this again. In a way, it summarises April to me. Finding the balance in this bizarre concept of living. This month felt like I was walking in heavy clouds and light clouds. One…

Snake and Ladder and Dice
Leisurely had a thinking session today even as Premalu plays in background. At the ripe age of 21, I had happily planned a rough sketch of the next 50 years. One of those rare ambitious things I did which I wasn’t scared about. I should have been. The milestones are haphazard, the path was foggy…

Bitter-Sweet
Growth is good. But I didn’t want to ask how good and to who? Sometimes behind closed eyes. I see the smokescreen of the said growth. I see how fate decides on the final judgement even as the hands of the night stuff it inside one last time. The watercolours are removed and a whitewash…

Platform Ticket
Some dialogue writer wrote “Life is a race.” And then Chetan Bhagat somehow won the successful loser race. But it is a race against what exactly? Everyday I feel the race to finish is against multiple things. Towards peace? Towards freedoms? Towards victory. What after that? One more race, and then one more after which…

Goo Good Goods
Today my boss’s boss called. He said I wish you got more hike and said the percentage of hike I was getting. It was actually good in macro/micro or some crow level of economy but in an ideal scenario I know I deserved much more. But ideals are goo in this world. My initial high…

Pottery Classes for how long?
It’s very difficult to mould things into place when there’s no base. It goes to all levels of nonsense departing the dimension where sense and sensibility doesn’t seem like myths. I see yellow butterflies flapping and fluttering while I re-do my pot. Swerving and serving high above, out of my reach. The wheels of pottery…

Burthday
Unlike many, I will not be able to say I lack what one’s heart and soul truly feels on your birthday. I also do not go into cow holes on the concept of ageing and living. I am Rohit and birthdays are my jam. Understandably many have wished me with the intention of jokez (although…

Speech?
This was said in perhaps an incoherent manner at an important event yesterday. Directly copied from notes app, so I might have gone extempore at that time. Didn’t want to lose it so adding it here. Apologies for the wrong sentence constructions, grammar and what not. I am going to stick in English for this…

The countdown no one asked for
This should come out on March 1. It is series of things I will try to do or chronicle what’s running on my mind or pen realisations across four weeks, culminating before March 2, what is probably the greatest day for absolutely no reason, of course. T-28 Out of comfort zone-ish I realise preparing for…
