Reminiscing the days when life was simpler, the sun seemed brighter with a tint of yellow joy in its light. My heart was clean, my thoughts were pristine…now the sun hasn’t really changed, neither its light then why does the day feel like night? What has age done to us? Why so dark? Is it of our own choices that we resign to the place we are now? Or is it a journey that was meant to be?
Nobody realizes the package is heavy until it’s opened & picked from its wrappings. I guess childhood is all about the joys of opening this package called life….no matter how varied our days may have been from each other…we all have our share of fond memories. Back to the present & feeling the weight of its contents we realize how one of the biggest pieces in there is responsibility, towards us as well as others. With that come various other pieces like love, career, luck etc. the list is endless… Each individual’s choice to discard or prioritize certain pieces over the other is a tailored decision.
Some may arrange all the pieces out in a way that suits them best, so that each piece is easily accessible according to their priority. Others might take the package & run under a tree, sit in its shade away from everyone else take each piece out have a good look at it & place it back in the box. Maybe they might go through all the pieces within or loose interest over time without having gone through the rest. While some may get so attached to one particular piece they might discard the other bits & concentrate on just this one bit.
Life is nothing more than all of us doing what we think best with this package in our hands. What makes each one special is it’s in our hands for us to piece together, arrange, look at, feel, play with, throw away or do what we feel best with it.
One fine day eventuality catches up & shows us something new……& that’s when we sail away, until then happy exploring!

Steering Clear
Money…its names may differ but its importance transcends age, gender, geographical boundaries etc to name a few. Strange how such an essential part of life is nothing but a self imposed simulation by us humans. We call it a structure that was implemented to enrich our lives! It began with a simple barter system that further evolved into a standard currency which over the millennia has morphed into our wide & varied currencies worldwide.
Today thanks to money we have measurability through which one piece of land or (country) is better off than another. And thanks to this novel invention we are now able to judge each other not on our abilities to pass on good genes but our ability to PURCHASE.
Bad mouthing money isn’t going to do me any good & isn’t my point of discussion either! My case as always is human nature & how we lack the capability to keep a structure positive in the long run. Be it money, society, marriage or civilization in general as we know it, the initiative to create stems from the need to exploit our abilities. The initial process in anything manmade is always good & positive, until it reaches the point where we realize our biggest flaw, our inability to stop.
In order to compensate for such a dilemma there needs to be continual renewal, new thoughts are a key aspect of bending our current trajectory to a more suitable path. As mentioned earlier, eventually on this new trajectory also our inability to stop will cause hindrances after which a new direction will be sought. Humankind in a way will travel in a zigzag pattern through its evolution & there is no way we can predict far off moves.
The reason for my discussions are straight & simple, every generation has a key to a new door which may have not existed in the preceding generations & it’s essential that we don’t ignore these signs. Initiative must be taken to accept new ways, changes & reforms. The faster we come to terms with this procedure the easier it will be for us to live our simulated lives in a better way. After all we are nothing more than the ape that stared at his reflection & forgot the world…..start making funny faces :)

Society So Sighted
Sweet dreams under a sky of black, what a pity we weren’t made to live long but live strong instead. Struggles are common when you don’t belong, they aren’t necessarily good or bad just a situation at hand.
When the world is against us or when all it can offer is indifference, grief & misunderstanding, pain seemed to be our best tool. The question arose if we would like to inflict ourselves or others. I have seen my kind fall & cry out for help. I have seen them suffer & fight a battle that doesn’t have a start or end. I have seen them wither away into the real world. Goodbye my friend, goodbye imagination you lay here in a pool so desolate while your physical embodiment forges on into false tribes fabricated over thousands of years spent in structuring & binding themselves. Goodbye my angel, goodbye freedom you drift away in streams of smoke as the searing world makes quick work of our unrestricted innocence.
For time endless we have lived amongst this menace & not bothered to change it. Our indifference has translated into a mainstream beneficiary. It’s time for a reform, to right what’s always been a twisted wrong. Stand by my side because we are of another realm, we must not unite instead work in staggered ways with common insight.
