The prompt for today was to write a nine-line poem. I choose to write on the conflicting battle to be in dreams and to face reality. —— His majesty in a slumber of dreams All he does here is swing like a child only to fall into an earthquake of defeat Reality it seems is…

[34] Duality Personality
![[34] Duality Personality](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/gemini.jpg)
My consciousness reaches its sleepiness attention at the banality of my clients. I’ve always tried to keep the sessions of the two patients with similar conditions distant so as to not let the monotony of it pierce through my attention for them both. But it could not be helped today. The two schizophrenic patients, the…

Nature has a way of connecting us with our inner selves. The idea of being away from the concrete jungle of cities is immediately followed up by unwinding, loosening up, connecting with our real self. Introspection comes naturally unlike in high rises where tall skyscrapers pose as an inferior substitute for tall trees. The city…

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…

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…

[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind
![[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/christoph-niemann.jpg)
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
![[23] Moonlight](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/moonlight-poster-lg.jpg)
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…

[21] What is a Story?
![[21] What is a Story?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/adapt2.jpg)
Stories are dreaming with our eyes open. It’s the art of convincing people of a certain idea but with a narrative, they can relate to. A writer puts his scrambled thoughts in a structure which may be linear, non-linear. The most vital stories of our ages are the one where the writers have “something to say”.…

The adrenaline in my body starts to pump up all the wiring in my brain when I watch a moment in a movie that just makes me jump out in joy. A good movie is like an instant energizer for me no matter how low on energy I am

In an age of information overload, the technological advances of our generation have given us many perks too. One of them being the option of pausing the video you are watching on your laptop. Rarely has it ever crossed my mind, to pause a TV show or a movie and appreciate what just happened. The…

I arrived at the gate of my new prison (read: college) and scoured the area for familiar faces (read: friendly faces). All I saw was an accumulation unto my conservative outlook of the world. People smoking, hurling abuses, holding hands and what not. It was the opposite of what I was taught to be. The…
