[257] Discriminating Cycles
![[257] Discriminating Cycles](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/bdc7a-img_5017.jpg)
Time is the greatest discriminator For some there’s less For some there’s more For some it’s omnipresent For some it’s invisible There are moments you feel where you’re not the happiest but the most content You realise you don’t know the time then but then the desire to know it arises and your eyes waver…

![[254] How To Be Happy: A Reminder](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/119-e1515869747422.jpg)
Happiness is learning the difference between which thoughts to keep and which thoughts to let go It is to live less in imagination and to be more rooted in reality It is to be with someone else’s feelings To be helpful to them even when you’re not able to help yourself

![[249] A New Day](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_0255-e1561187727182.jpg)
Today the world woke up looking a little forgetful The sun didn’t feel as vengeful The newspapers had empty pages The air didn’t suffocate living Was it because we all remembered our dreams today?

![[155] A Waking Dream](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/155-e1527191833412.jpg)
I erode my being to get out of my mind The physical sensation of emptiness coupled with the confirmation of being alive the paradox of which is enough to take up all the space in my mind as what bothered me is without me now All I care about is this small little world where…

Decorate your room for my memories to echo less Your lingering perfume wanes in intensity as I get undressed Tormenting clouds call me out to watch them perform a show for us tonight A show we’re both an audience of separated by space and time The show gets over and I remember that my umbrella…

[152] The Purpose of Everything and Nothing
![[152] The Purpose of Everything and Nothing](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/152.jpeg)
An original thought is an accident and an invention is inspired After all, we live in another man’s idea of a mind The creation by you is laborious like making a sculpture from a stone It’s not the movie version of progress where it seems entertaining in a montage It’s a slow burning sensation of routine…

![[151] Keep Me Where The Light Is](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/151-e1526299378661.jpg)
I still remember your gestures in my dream The way your self-consciousness makes you more elegant than hideous, like you think The way your eyes held the calm of the mountains and somehow I knew the reason was me That was when fear gripped me for pain knows me way too well as it circles…

[149] The Future Waits For None
![[149] The Future Waits For None](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/149.jpeg)
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…

[147] Falling Stars

Yesterday feels like tomorrow when you’re stuck in a routine Sleeping feels like waking and dreaming feels like living Your life is muddled up in a series of activities meant to soothe you into a slumber of having no sensations finally They say love helps you find your home or the idea of it because you still…

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…

The air feels heavy when I feel your presence around even when I know you’re not around I think the grudges we hold weigh more than what forgiveness makes us feel I stumble on our memory as I walk on the same paths of yesterday I feel your presence again in this park like the…

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…
