conflicted hope

conflicts abound, words fly

solutions are scarce

human guile is high

in this Erebus on earth,

everyday i struggle to survive,

the words are ammunition,

my soul the target,

and as every shot is fired,

i dwindle to a slow death.

Oh! physical pain I'll bear

torturous hands I'll embrace

but soft hands with thorns beware,

they will tear you apart!

and then, amidst the conflict,

the confusion,

amidst tears and death,

hope swells.

smile, someday hope will smile

Midnight Musing - Part 1.

Sometimes its really difficult to figure out who your real friends are. You know, like the ones that you read about, or watch on the movies. Like the ones that will be there for you when you want them to be. To carry you through. I'll be honest. I'm a naive person and I'm also super sensitive. So, if you are really mean or rude or nasty to me, I will be hurt. Regardless of the fact that I try not to pay much attention to your cruelty, or your low opinion of me by telling myself that your quite beneath my notice, I will still let it get to me. I'll be bewildered, groping for clues as to what I did wrong, or hurt. And most times, both. It's bewildering, frankly, to realize, how no matter how you try to portray yourself as a particular person, the image the world gets is often quite the opposite. So, as much as I'd for people to think of me as intelligent, witty, clever and (yes, I know, I know, I'm vain.. but we all have our vices!), beautiful, I think...

why do we stray?

You know I came back from school, hoping against hope to pick up my physics books and study for the upcoming weekly test! But that hope was all there was to it. I didn't study and on top of that wasted my entire time online watching one tree hill. Anyway, getting back to the original topic, why do we stray? When we say we aren't going to do something, why do we end up doing it? Why cant we just stick to what we planned and do that well rather than just mess everything up? I've never been able to finish anything I've started and that speaks volumes about how unstable and unreliable I am! Every single day just passes by and I wake up to a new morning feeling all the more worthless for it! I don't know if I'll ever do anything great in my life. I don't know if I'll even go after my dreams. Or if I'll just ideal by and let time and tide pass by. Its depressing to be me. I know a guy called dhruv. He's my senior. He's going to Canada now. He's...

The Day

Today, was kind of different actually. I was up all night feeling nauseous, so my fabulous plan about mugging last minute for my Cell Biology exam the next morning went for a spectacular toss. Nauseous, sleep deprived and tensed for my exam, because even I don't like being that underprepared for an exam! That was me today morning, when I headed down for breakfast! It seemed like it was the first time that I was making conversation with the mess "akka's". Even though I did meet them every other day for lunch, dinner and snacks, and on weekdays breakfast too, it wasn't like this. Then, I'd have been busy and the conversation would have been over by the time we exchanged curtsies. But today morning, today morning it was actually different. I spoke to the akka's like I used too. After chatting away and pulling their leg, I proceeded to eat my pathetic excuse for a breakfast. Today, the grime was Dosa with Sambar and dry watermelons. If you've never seen...
