home, atlast.


what's this thing called home, or.

some days before,
i had this terrible feeling associated with
this forced concept called
home.

when i was here
5-6 years back
i remember i was restless,
and to an extend detatched..
grandma, i loved.
acchan, i loved.
still.
i realise the restlessness came from
the feeling that i have a very great mother.
her image projected on me,
anything and everything i did and i dint.
and so i planned to leave this place
which proved very good in many ways.

i came back home almost a year back.
leaving the high paying job i had,
leaving my degree.
not planning to do anything with my life,
not planning to get married.
it hurt everything so much.
so much that some part of the pain still lingers on.

why did it have to hurt so much?
i wonder, my parents, both of them,
at some point of their lives rejected
every confirmity.
why do they expect me to be confirming then?

after some months staying here,
i'm completely at peace.
sometimes, i get the glimpses of the trust being lost,
but i still manage.
i wonder what changed in me.
or what changed in them..
or is it a peace that can be broken at any point of time?

as the days pass,
it feels like
its also how i make it to be.
its also how i react to.
and also how i can divert the conversations..
there are things beyond political theorisations
which can be moulded using love..

Of Love And Other Demons..



when i read marquez talk about it,
i like it, yes,
but i don't quite believe it.
the halos and the yellow butterflies.
oops.

sometimes things happen.
they take you beyond logic,
they teach you things beyond comprehension..

i find myself drunk, happy,
one night,
i get back to where i was staying,
and among a lot of people,
i see him.
i just see him and my heart collapses.

i try to analyse this with my worldly wisdom.
it says everything should be reasonable
for you to be and stay happy.

so how do i define this?
is it because i'm drunk?
am i getting stupid, because this dint happen in my teens..
is it because i dint meet anyone like him before?

i try to sleep.
and the next morning, i'm not drunk,
my heart leaps higher and higher just by his glimpse.
there's something wrong indeed.

so i decide to let it free.
i let it take its own path,
i let it grow..

sometimes, logic is not that real.
it tells me.
and sometimes, it can give you enormous amount of energy,
this irrationality.
