Begin. Aimlessness. It’s a feeling we all feel at some point in our life, for some it is most of the time. It can range from being aimless about our career choices, our spirituality, about what to eat when you’re sitting in a restaurant with the waiter holding the pen and also his attention towards…

Let me call you by the sound of my guitar Let me invite you to my burnt home We dance here in a burning room We try here to live afar all it is It’s just my mind Let me call you mine but for a while Let me invite you to my mind We…

[150] A Strange Look of Knowing
![[150] A Strange Look of Knowing](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/150.jpg)
I let strangers remain strangers Our conversation limited only by our eyes For a second they hold the future but only to break away as we see somewhere else How many potential losses sacrificed How many potential lovers avoided How many stories remained uncovered How many conversations silenced We return to our groups Some bored…

As I sit here, a realisation dawns on me. The world nods in confirmation of my fear that it doesn’t really require me as it runs without me unabashedly. This doesn’t come as a surprise at all but it comes like that strong gust of wind that uproots even the most rooted grass from the…

A snow-capped summit that evades you. You are filled with fear of the distance, of the journey that is unknown. Sounds that you’ve never heard conjure and hijack your senses packing your ambitions behind fear. One day you wake up remembering why you dreamt at all. The morning motivation coupled with no external stimuli of…

I remember carrying the disappointment of today to tomorrow with the added baggage of guilt of not doing something about it yesterday To all my coping of adding humour to my demons or to all the mechanics of my defences that lay all your faults ahead of mine I am disappointed Sometimes I think about…

We are told that “don’t upset the system” “don’t be a rebel and lose your mind”. The reason? The functioning of the system is crucial for miscreants to survive. To not politicise art is just another way of submitting to the pressure of not being seen as a rebel. As the word, ‘rebel’ has a…

[141] Echoes of Silence

You left your memories To echo in this empty room Each corner of which hides the fragrance of your lilac breath The walls capture your heels when I held you by the waist It feels as if this is a riverbed of my insecurities This empty room It’s a result of avoidance of my pain…

Stillness without contentment is just anxiety brooding. You can have the laziest day turn into a day of rest or it can turn into a day of sulking over your lack of productivity. Being holed up in a room and catching up with yourself can be tiring in an ironical way. Introspection takes effort and…
