Desks are still here. Chairs are not. Computers are still here. Humans are not. Well some of us are still here. We are trying to teach the A.I. everything we know about the job collated from the gargantuan experience we have had in the industry only to apply that experience in creating a machine that…

Left alone screaming hold me, hold me These voices whisper secrets I ignore Crawling to whatever’s little left of you, just be Just be what you were A mere night is a nightmare now As I lie in darkness now What is night? Vast serenity, mystery of infinite space? For me, it is the horror…

Excuses are the worst form of a seemingly incurable disease that can happen to us. It is another way of staying under the sheets when you should be going out. Let’s delve deep into the psyche of excuses today. Why do we make excuses? A task so daunting that makes us feel small, makes us…

“The Apollo program was a fraudulent NASA spaceflight endeavour which allegedly landed the first men on the moon.” said the head of the Flat Earth Society who sat next to me on the frisbee pendulum ride. It was an unusual choice of an interview setting but he wanted to prove a point. While the others…

My lungs are corrupted You took my breath away Sucking all the air drifting through your hair Patterns on your face, the sunlight makes A gentle awakening in my heart No longer I reside in the dark ///

[26] Dreams That Hit You.
![[26] Dreams That Hit You.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1.png?w=560)
The impact of my body hitting the door was so loud that I made a big roaring sound. I wouldn’t have been able to hit the door this hard in my wakefulness because of my frail skeleton of a body. But my mind was more focussed on something else. The demon that hit me. I…

[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind
![[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/christoph-niemann.jpg?w=1024)
I just finished watching the first episode of a Netflix documentary called “Abstract: The Art of Design” which profiles the illustrator, Christoph Niemann. The way his mind work is scarily similar to how your or mine might work but the art he produces is spellbinding. So what is the difference between him and us? What…

I try to be a shapeless blur that no one notices Curious about the ways I can hide myself Under the garb of jokes and stretched lips Under the static sound of nothingness that puts me to sleep Behind the curtains of clothes to hide my naked self Behind her strength when she puts her point across…

[23] Moonlight

A picture described by naysayers as a slow and a critically hyped movie. Yes, it features scenes with silence and a character that speaks rarely but what is the criticism more pointed at? The movie creates an atmosphere with its slow burning poison of storytelling with time-jumps that leave an audience to imagine the characters…

[22] In The Mood For Love

As the musical piece titled “Yumeji’s theme” invades the sound space of the visuals of Wong Kar Wai’s “In The Mood For Love” everything slows down as if we are watching a music video inside a movie. The re-appearance of this musical piece (a striking eight times) is a leitmotif to describe the relationship between Chow…
