untitled



Lying as he is - 
Oblivious, on a dusty road of 
Fractured Earth, 
I see in him a look that is
Not human. 

For he seems worried not 
About things he had not done 
Or regrets about his youth. 
Nor there is a choice, a hesitation,
Etched into every fabric of his being.

Amidst this burden of thoughts, 
These echoes of guilt and memories 
Like restless, unkind ghosts 
Haunts the corridors of my mind, 
There blooms an innocence,
Like the fleeting grace of
God, Unaware of his Purity. 

He being only a pup, afterall.  
Looking at him, it seems
Universe revealed its secrets 
To me. But the world weeps
Alone, still.

SECOND VERSION 

Lying as he is - 
Oblivious, on a dusty road of 
Fractured Earth, 
I see in him a look that is
Not human. 

For he seems worried not 
About things he had not done 
Or regrets about his Youth. 
Nor there is a choice, a hesitation,
Etched into every fabric of his being.

Amidst this burden of thoughts, 
These echoes of guilt and memories 
Like restless, unkind ghosts 
Haunts corridors of my mind, 
There blooms an innocence,
Like the fleeting grace of
God, unaware of his Purity. 

Human heart, the fatal favour, 
where grief wanders freely, 
seeking sucor in embrace of time,
while the world spins on - 
Indifferent. His primal soul 
Lives, here and now. 

He being only a pup, afterall.  
Looking at him, it seems
Universe revealed its secrets 
To me. But the world weeps
Alone, still.

Locke | Movie Review

Locke - 2013 Directed By : Steven Knight I like to think that Locke is perhaps about stoicism. Its a lesson about stoicism. Perhaps about how to handle situations which are out of control. And in the end stoicism prevails. Perhaps its not hardcore or perfect form of stoicism which is described in the books. Ivan Locke has his faults. He shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. It isn't his dead father's fault that he has impregnated a women who is not his wife. Or he should have been more sensitive to the woman who carries his child. He is sensible man though, his soul is being tortured, his mind is not at rest and his whole world is falling apart in front of him. Yet he bears it all. He is determined to his thing, right thing. And probably thats the basic idea of stoicism, isn't it? Sometimes it is confusing to define stoicism. It has its shades, its variants. Ivan Locke has his variants. He has a deep urge to save the ruins of his already d...

The Magic Of Thinking Big | Book Review

     After certain level these kind of books dont help at all. Although I have to agree with whatever the author has to say but it doesnt make a huge impact on me in the long term. I even forgot that I had read it a few months ago. This is not about this book in general but all others in the self-help genre. It might make difference to the people who actually act after reading such stuff, and who have certain degree of control on their impulses and actions.       This review seems to be more about my reading priority than the work of the author. The author have of course fair ideas about how you can make change and be productive and successful and the best and the most important and........ But at the end it depends on the reader himself to how extent he is ready to act and change himself accordingly.      There are huge number of books being published in these genre everyday. All of them presenting same ideas but putting dif...

The White Tiger | Movie Review

The White Tiger - 2021 Directed By : Ramin Bahrani The White Tiger have many kind of problems, but they are not very stark. They are not significant, but still quite obstruct this film to be a lot better than what it is. This is awkward, lukewarm and confusing film throughout, but enjoying nonetheless. As an adaptation of Arvind Adiga's Booker Prize winning book, this film is somewhat accurate and faithful to its source material. The book was also quite lukewarm and confusing. And if I am allowed to be little more critical, it was gimmicky. And the film somewhat makes that gimmick much more obvious and visible here. There are instances where you have to join the universal opinion and question your own judgment because of it. When you read a book or watch a film, people are so crazed about that piece of work, but you don't see the greatness of the work which the people around you are referring to. And more often than not, you question your own judgement in that case ...
