Break on through to the other side
I’m back once again and hopefully I will be posting my often outdated and vague streams of thought more often. Two different individuals can co exist in what outwardly seems, to be one single innocuous human being. Two different sets of wants, of dreams, of likes and dislikes, of idiosyncrasies.  One of these two individual personas, was forward lo... more...

The Way Things Are!
I’m back, after what seems like ages, and there is an end to the beginning of the end. Though I’m not all that up to writing a touching soliloquy at the moment, I would like to illustrate a few instances, I have made note of over the past month.God v/s the Human being (and vice versa) It’s incredibly easy for a human being to challenge God, when he... more...

One!
 “Whatever you might do, it will never be enough. There are thousands of them out there, worse sometimes. What’s the point of battling for this little one?”A voiced thought with a bitter under taste that persistently remains; long after dusk has fallen, long after the blood on my hands has been fastidiously washed away, long after his breathing has... more...

You
  Another human being who strides across the road, at the traffic signal, engaged with the 9 to 6 work routine, battling the haste and the clamor. Another unfamiliar face in a crowd I did not know, a place I was not accustomed to, a thought I had not reflected on. You You, revealed a life I never knew, never existed before I met you; gently acclima... more...

Return to Epicurean Cannibalism
1498 - Christopher Columbus and his crew, embarked on a voyage of discovery which revealed, amongst other things, that human flesh was a gourmet food substance in the West Indies. The Spaniards were appalled, at the succulent, sizeable portions of human flesh roasting over a spit fire. They labeled these tribes ‘canibs’ and later ‘canibales’ - mean... more...

Those eyes
The shadows pattern the lilac wall, turning it into a pre historic monster. An unadorned, well worn, dog eared passport sized snap stares back at me from the dusty shelf. Those beautifully sad eyes irk me, compelling me now to sit down calmly and remember. At first those eyes were heartrending, just as they were in the photograph - cheerless, melan... more...

Change
The years diminish memories; at first the self wrestles to retain every detail. Every morning, an imaginary catalog of smiles, frowns, mannerisms, sounds and features; the details reinforced lest one forgets the tinniest facet.But time is almost an eraser; a merciless one at that.Years go by and from nowhere the memory is about to become reality al... more...

Affinity for perfection?
Affinity for the beautiful, fascinatingly faultless entities, in our lives; those that offer such pleasing gratification. We proceed to base our likes and dislikes and our long term preferences, on these gratifying vagaries. Fortune’s fools we all are. The dusky, homely bride, shunned by her suitors, with no regard for her intellect and culture; th... more...

We are not what we seem
The woman across the room; exotically striking and beautiful, seemingly confident and poised. Her  exquisite features exemplify her intelligence and breeding. She smiles at the appropriate moments,  makes notable conversation, and does the right thing at the right time. The picture of flawlessness, they all say. And yet, she loathes herself, despis... more...

What lies beneath?
The being shrouds the self, or vice versa? Are we equipped to judge a person we know not; a person is not always what he fundamentally is. For the self is not always bared so straightforwardly.Far beneath the depths of a soul lies a child, a child whom I have occasionally witnessed, but witnessed nonetheless. An adult’s eyes shroud the child; feari... more...

Pak Democracy
I BELIEVE it is not yet time for the democratisation of Pakistan. It must wait for the right time; that is, when the systems are in place and militancy is rooted out completely.
