Light And Truth

-

 My eyes are no longer kind.

They lie.

They let in light,

enough light

and so I see

what's inside me 

and what surrounds me.

But not a fraction more..

for it would impair my vision

it would burn my heart

the ashes of which 

would nurture my dark soul.

My tears

tears of deceit 

water the deadly roots of my empty brain

and lets it grow

until it engulfs my very spirit

and I cease to exist.


I look around the world

and wonder

if any of it

if any of those eyes

are different 

from mine. 

All eyes lie.


- On writing, I forget

and the world remembers.

    Illuminatiiii lol

    The fact that you realize you are not real the people around you are the same... unreal...

    Being true would simply burn you, bring you to an end.

    The world truly is a hard place to live in, cool that you've mentioned it. Not many people talk about it.

    We live in the post-truth world. You won't find too many real faces.

    Blessed are those who are ignorant. Start living they said, and we thought we did. But I died on that day. Everything tastes the same. They said that's what's meant to be. And i believed. One day i opened my eyes 👀 and wished I've never opened mine.

♪ മാവേലി നാടു വാണീടും കാലം മാനുഷരെല്ലാരുമൊന്നു പോലേ ആമോദത്തോടെ വസിക്കും കാലം ആപത്തംഗാർക്കുമൊട്ടില്ല താനും കള്ളവുമില്ല ചതിയുമില്ലാ എള്ളോളമില്ലാ പൊളി വചനം ♪ Onam is the official festival of Kerala, celebrated in remembrance of king Mahabali and his prosperous reign in the state. It is a rice-harvest festival commemorated by Malayalis around the world with much zest and fervor. The carnival of Onam, which spans a duration of 10 days stands as a hallmark of Kerala's culture and tradition.  I'm not particularly inclined towards the grand festivities of Onam. I'm more interested in watching people have fun adorned in varieties of sarees, mundus, pattupavadas and kuppivalas(glass bangles). It surely is a feast to the eyes as sadya is to the belly. The ethereal scent of mullapoo(jasmine) enhances the beauty of the festival. People unite in the lively colors of the Athapookalam, and the spark of celebration shines on their faces. Everything and everybody look gracious with a light d

Oyasumi Punpun

Manga review Long, lonely lanes are all I see while I walk home to Punpun. I open the manga, flip the pages, see familiar faces stare into my soul. The air is stiffening, oh, so is my heart, as Punpun lies in his tub pondering over existence. Had I been the mangaka, I'd've colored him blue. He'd be soaring heights without the aid of the sky. I fell asleep trying to connect the stars of a constellation that he loves. I heard him whisper, "What's the point?" Or was it the echo of my own screams? How I wish he was real. I'd have a twin. Everyone would. 'cause Punpun is me. Punpun is you. Punpun is every single one of us in our rawest forms. Oyasumi, Punpun.   Oyasumi Punpun  is a manga written and illustrated by Inio Asano covering themes like depression, loneliness, and the absurdity of life.

Loss

Some people come into our lives at the right time. And when the time is right, they leave. People play a very important role in shaping our lives. Every person we meet, constitute a part of our life, no matter how short their stay is. Where we end up or who we end up with can often depend on specific people we come across in particular places. But 'ending up' is not final. We can never say "I 'ended up' doing this job." because we don't know for sure. We might 'end up' doing something else. And while it's difficult to deal with everything we lose in this ghost ride called life, we can have faith; belief, that whatever happens, whether good or bad, occurs for the best until God reveals to us what the 'best' truly is. But that also means never looking back and walking forward without turning our heads. But sometimes, that's the only way. We are obliged to lend our ears to a whole lot of people saying, "This is how life is!"
