[246] Confused Clarity

June 17, 2019by Rahul Gaur5 Comments

My distraction is aware of all that it lacks. It can be missing out on the various sounds of rain or it can be not holding the knowledge to appreciate architecture it falls on. I accept that there is a lot that I don't accept. I understand that there is a lot that I don't [...]

[238] The Napkin Cafe

April 23, 2019June 26, 2019by Rahul Gaur14 Comments

Mumbai is a city where you see people drifting in and out of their own lives. Some days they feel the urge to live and some days they stay quiet and let the city consume them. On the days of living people go out in blind hope of chancing upon their destiny. They feel the [...]

[181] Mass Hysteria of Truth

August 20, 2018by Rahul Gaur14 Comments

The loneliest thing in the world is to search for the truth in everything and anything. Ask any conscious artist the question, "what is good art?", and most of them will answer "it's the pursuit of truth". No one will ever say "it's when you get to the truth" because no one ever gets to [...]
