Skepticism on a not so holy holiday
People go away from their homes,
Because they can't manage to stay,
At home on those holy holidays,
Because of the noise.
Times for contemplation and learning,
Is broken by the loud song singing, And competitions which seek whose,
Music system can play louder.
Times for meeting friends and relatives,
Is broken by the messages and forwards,
Sent on WhatsApp and Telegram whose,
Message came earlier.
Times for celebrating a holiday,
Is broken by the loud rhetoric,
Sent on social media,
That make no sense.139 views

Dec 9 - Monday blues!
Just another Monday in December. But on some mornings I get into blues, need not be a Monday though, and I start rambling. Twitter gets the brunt of it most, but since it’s already in deep s.h.i.t nowadays, I presume it’s won’t mind to carry some more. For me. I haven’t taken pre...

I was standing in front of my house, preparing to leave, when I noticed the boy who lived in a small single room with his parents and two siblings. This family of five occupied a tiny space on a large plot of land. Whenever anyone from my family went out or someone visited our ho...
Idle commentary on humanity or How We’re Pavloved into Loving the Absurd
So, I saw this video about a guy playing a piano, when a woman walks in to sing. The piano man (let’s call him that and it has nothing to do with the song) looks at the woman, shakes his hand in abject disappointment and leaves abruptly leaving the woman surprised—embarrassed eve...
