True humility is like a tree in the forest; it stands tall but blends in, letting the whole forest be seen.

One day, you’ll realize I was not wrong.

It wouldn’t be too late, but it wouldn’t be same either.
Why don’t you come along with me?

So that you have a reason to visit home.
Running after relationship is like running after your credit score. The more you want, the lesser your score.

I lost my way when
I was just about to reach the land
Did I lose or take a small detour?
Not sure but didn’t want it to end.Life is such a journey
A fixed start and no user guide
Open to interpretation
No single path or rule to abideYes, goals are important
April 16, 2022
But so is to experience first hand
It should be okay to live a little
Before the destination, “dead end”
“I bet it feels amazing to have found a new path on your own. What did you find there?”

“The same mundane world.”
We all wanted to be Harry Potter, but end up becoming dementors!

He was waiting for traffic light when he saw a poor kid near the cross road counting some old garbage coins, foils, papers and what not!
“I don’t understand why he’s so happy collecting those garbage”, he mumbled and opened his mobile wallet to see how his crypto altcoins were doing.

“You have no idea what you have done!”

Is there a story sadder than “Not a single dream fulfilled”?
May 21, 2021
“All dreams fulfilled”, I answered.
Yesterday, I was patiently listening to every story I heard; for I wanted to appreciate years of efforts and experience they have put in.
Today, I am losing my time listening to stories and don’t have my own to tell. So, I’m planning to choose action over listening.
Tomorrow, I’ll start listening again for the only way to make people listen to my story would be by offering to hear theirs.

We are tied to the fake perception and idea of freedom so rigidly, that we aren’t free anymore.

And he warned, “let me be very clear. It’s nothing but downhill from here.”
“Well then I have nothing to fear everything that falls can bounce back, dear!”, I replied.

You call is loneliness, I call it solitude.
You call it togetherness, I call it dependency.
You call it a year less, I call it one more to remember.
We are saying the same thing, except we aren’t.

I am that air-conditioner that sucks up all your heat and give you nothing but chills and tries its best to keep you calm.
It’s just that people don’t really realise that air-conditioners also need a drain pipe to vent out.

I grieve, not because I lost them.
Oct 25, 2020
But I lost my freedom to ignore.
It’s easier to pretend to be a knowledgeable person especially when you’re not.

A signboard can’t be called wise just because it does show the right path without knowing what it is. It is the traveller’s ability to read that makes it useful.

When I was young, I wanted to know how future will look like, without worrying about it.
Now? Well, either I’m not young anymore, or I’m more worried about present now.

Corona is like your younger sibling.
At first, you think it won’t affect you.
Then it starts annoying you.
Then it makes your life miserable.In the end, you accept your fate and try to co-exist.

carved out a hole, after thinking a ton,
to ensure you can make the cut,
And now, I’m just another donut.
Why do you feel pride in giving away things that don’t belong to you?
Can the cloud pour the rain if the ocean didn’t lend the water?You must share what you have, not because you can or you should,
Jan 19, 2020
But because, it was given to you, you just don’t know by whom!
Life is indeed like a video game, you can choose to complete levels fast by completing missions you are given, or can explore the levels fully before moving to next one.

The talks are like life,

the more you try to get out of it,
the shorter it lasts.
You’re grown up when you understand that it’s not the scars, but the fear of scars, that causes the permanent scars of regrets. Most people don’t grow up. I for one probably never will.

Maybe oppression is in the human blood.
What if Kumbhkarna wasn’t Raavan’s sibling, and was born in Antarctica?
That would make sense why he used to sleep for 6 months!

The best stories are the ones that have a protagonist with whom you can relate with, but never want to be that person in that situation!

During summer vacation you have more homework than normal days and you end up completing more sums.
Is that why it’s called summer?
But by that logic, if I bet more on this theory, I’m better!!

Well, I’m not against love and never believed a separation could ever give me this much joy.
But if a book is good, how can one let the bookmark be with it for too long?

I remember the words my school teacher once said.
“It’s easier to show people who they are but hard to find who you are”.
I feel pity for the mirror who probably will never find its true self.
I still haven’t found myself, and I have stopped showing people who they are long back.

If you need to quote (someone) to prove your point,
Jul 10, 2019
doesn’t that mean you don’t have points to defend yourself ?
The first time I read Harry Potter, I couldn’t understand nor believe how a soul or heart can be divided into pieces. And even when unicorns could have been real, this child couldn’t believe how a single soul can reside in multiple places. But I’ve left home too many times since then.

A woman was begging in front of the gate camera for few sips of the magical liquid outside the bungalow. Funny-smelling fabric on her body was trying to justify its status as cloth by showing it can cover essential parts but was barely succeeding. The baby on her shoulder, accustomed and now indifferent to the smell and summer afternoon heat, was crying out of thirst.
And inside the house, someone was crying for a child while the artificial rain was trying to drown her.

Can there exist a species such that everyone understands what the other one is saying? For starters, humans surely do not.
On that note, do you think Dogs have different languages in their own species? And maybe they don’t understand what cats have been “bitching” about them.

I’d say plants are stronger due to their roots.

Mere western wind can blow humans away.

Sometimes I wonder what would I require to live my life happily, without a fuss?
Only if life was not such an introvert, and told us what was expected from us.

Nowadays, self-conscious merely means being too conscious about what others will think about you.

What if world is like a book, and there are 3 types of readers?
1. Who can’t read the language.
2. Who can read it and understand what’s going on.
3. Who know enough to read characters or words. Those who can’t read the sentence or chapter collectively to make sense out of it. And end up believing the book is nothing but a random permutation of some random words.

Finally I understood life the way it is, not understandable.

The life would have been lot simpler if I could find complex solvable challenges before I get tired of the former one.

Emo Philips once said, “I used to think the human brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.” I think friends are the most wonderful people in my life.

The mansion has been filled with silence since the clock stopped. The second last sound was the last scream of a father of five.

Why so serious?
Because all great people taught us to question one thing. “Why Not?”

Who am I?
Jun 25, 2018
I’m the one who doesn’t know who I am.
I’m the one who thinks he needs to know who I am.
I’m the one who knocks the door, only to ask if you heard the knock on the door.
I’m random, just like your life and our universe.
My tombstone will read:
In the end, everyone ends up here.
Jun 24, 2018
So be free, make mistakes.
Don’t worry about others,
any tomb, can only accommodate one.
Amid the crowded market,

the lady coughed, and celebrated the privacy and mortality.
