A Self-written Metrical Composition: Mistaken + A sketch

Image
Today, just out of an inner compulsion , I felt like sketching a moment that I have always felt so close. You will not find it something too big or astonishing but it surely is one of the deepest, rejoicing and enriched practice of mine. Something I just can't let go. Something to which I return after every stressful day. I don't actually relate when did the idea actually strike me, may be a few nights back when I escaped slumber and passed the entire night in the dark room looking at the darkness outside or may be a few more such nights back but what I know is I drew it just a few minutes ago and I already have a poem written by me that I may post with it. 😊 Mistaken There is darkness outside Not for a negative soul Only the night And its melody so sore As if  mist hidden hopes No beckoning, no goal. Glancing through the window Of that old stilt house You see a sour, crisp moon An old, mundane tout. Not a star of those times Could shi...

Now that I return...

Image
Was it right or was it wrong? I mean being away from all these... society, friends, hobbies and all other interests except the one that had taken me there. I guess you are getting it...what I want to say. Now that it has been more than 2 years or better say 2 years 1 month and 27 days after which I try to pen my experiences into you, many such questions constantly reel into me. Already it took me 3 days to just get ready to open blogger and still when today I did open it, my mind was empty. But yup I must say there is something, something so special I sense in you that me... a high level introvert who just opens to a few... you make me blabber and that is why all of a sudden I became sad thinking why I remained away for so long. I think it was necessary to concentrate more and more on some other stuffs for the sake of the goal I had planned to reach and as they say for big achievements, big sacrifices need to be made but then I also think I might have not gone so hopeles...

Things I have been doing recently...

Image
This is relaxing... this surely is. It is after a long time that I realize that sometimes a change can be amazing. All this while I have had to experience its bitter half… I know people have changed and I also know that somehow I am coping up with it well externally… this is actually eating me from within. A hollow feeling. Oh no…no. L et’s not drift there now.... Not this way. I don’t want this to happen. I want to feel happy today… and this has come to me after so many days. I want to shout, laugh, run and even cry in happiness. I don’t know why. Today I am going to tell you what I have been doing recently… I have been indulged in for quite a long time in cleaning my room and doing some decoration work. Huh! Quite tiresome but yet seems like a lot of peace. I have found some old stuff… some letters, my old, musty diary (seems silly now), some old books of mine, some stories I had written quite a long time ago, a photo album and some of the sketches and paintings I had made ab...

A Note on the Parting Away

Image
Everything is going so swiftly... life becomes so easy when you don't have to go out of your home, no one to face. Moreover, somehow I have got friendly with the four walls of my home and I am loving it. I know I am seeing no far from the very end of my own nose but still this is going great guns (at least for some time). Haven't been to the river for quite a long time... the river, my eternal friend. Don't know what withholds me from going there. May be just the feeling that I will break down when I go near her, start shouting and turn psychic. The panoramic view of the ever flowing river, the misty wind, the remains of voices that once echoed in that part of the town, the faint smell of flowers blooming nearby, the fun of walking on the wet, sultry smelling soil, the trampled grasses, the sound of the flowing water and the sensation of my friend touching me, its water flowing through my fingers... The wind around me turns chilling cold and I can't bear it against m...

Song Review: Manic Monday by Bangles

Image
Manic Monday About the song...   (Credit: Wikipedia) "Manic Monday" is a song by the American pop rock band The Bangles, and the first single released from their second studio album, Different Light (1986). It was written by Prince, using the pseudonym "Christopher". Originally intended for the group Apollonia 6 in 1984, he offered the song to The Bangles two years later. Lyrically it describes a woman who is waking up on Monday, wishing it were still Sunday. The song, which was released on Monday January 27, 1986 by Columbia Records, received generally positive reviews from music critics and some comparisons with The Mamas & the Papas' "Monday, Monday". It became The Bangles' first hit, reaching number two in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as in Austria, Canada, Germany and Ireland, and peaked within the top five of New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland. It was later certified silver in the UK by the British Phono...

Victory will return! I Believe...

Hello everyone! It is after a long break that I am blogging again. Blogging to me is like a wonderful experience which I had to sacrifice for the sake of one of the most vital period of my life. Huh! Now it is over though for quite a short period of time ( and I should not expect it to be long). How did the struggle go? I am afraid to predict. The result is awaited... impatiently though. For the sake of a bit of peace lets abandon this haughty topic ( atleast so for me). But then I don't even get peace elsewhere. I was watching the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final match between India and Australia all the while hoping for the best. Everyone around could be seen with beaming faces expecting a big score from India. We Indians do have a big sentiment about Cricket matches and when it is the World Cup so close to finals… what else can be said. India did start with a weak batting… but I went on telling myself, it is not over yet. All is well that ends well. But how l...
