Mood…



1 April 2010.


It was a fool’s day. And the greatest fool I assume in my knowledge was me who was fooling his own conscience and doing what I never wished to. I freed my head from the safety helmet and gave my head a shake to drain the perspiration out. I saw the river flowing the way it could, the clouds roving the way it could and the sun light scorching my eyes the way it could. I walked out. I wished to walk till I fall. I went outside the premises and decided to move out. I wasn’t oblivious of the fact that I would get a grudge from some or the other person around the next morning. I sauntered out and boarded the bus to peace. I simply closed my eyes, thought the way I came in life and wrote this…


I remain in a deep sleep…
        All the time with my eyes open
Whatever I feel I never do…
        Whatever I do I never feel
I remain stuck in a place…
        And keep on planning to move places
Time seems to be stagnant as barren desert…
        Fumes of Flames puzzling the traveler
The color of currency makes me go blind…
        I being there since ages and the world turns around
I live in a state I can never define…
       The profit all dispersed and the loss all mine
Little do I move ahead in life…
       Complicating the process; Compromising all the time
Some find me confused other call me mad
       All I do is watch the show; smirking around…!
