[260] I think I know it all
![[260] I think I know it all](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/39324-260.jpg)
A clean slate of self-discovery A push is needed to find all my checkpoints again Knowledge has become amnesic in the pursuit I can only hold so much in the little head that’s left Smoke alarm whirring in my airy bones Intoxications only resolve to bring back lost energy All that comes back is the…

where are we again? no longer slowing down warping our sense of time passing by without us looking without us checking if its all worthwhile

Our love like unicorn tears only in my dreams it is realised You hold a book that yawns intelligence just so there is no scope for me to interpret your silence The spirit of your strange journey towards me compels me to hide from your shadows The strangeness of complexity in your simplest words leaves…

[78] Defeat.

Loneliness isn’t limited to being alone. It transcends to a form where even though you are surrounded by everyone you want to be surrounded by, you still feel utterly alone. Loneliness is not the physical manifestations of people but the mental manifestation of us in their minds. If we are not in their minds when…

The urge to write has never been there in me. I looked at writing regularly as something that every writer has to do to reach a level where they are fooled into believing that what they write is decent. Today, I feel an urge to write. It’s quite a new experience given my love-hate relationship…

[69] Cure Your Writer’s Block By Doing This.
The economy of the like minded has created a perception that writer’s block is a phenomenon that can be overcome only by an inspired mind. The need to understand that a constant state of flow can also spring up new ideas and reveal your underlying feelings just because your neurons are sparking up is paramount…

[64] Am I excited to be doing what I’m doing or am I in aimless motion?
![[64] Am I excited to be doing what I’m doing or am I in aimless motion?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1280.jpeg)
Enthusiasm and eagerness are the emotions that a person goes through whilst feeling excited. And feeling excited about the field that you’re going to dedicate your whole life to is a must. Do I feel excited towards filmmaking right now? or am I in aimless motion? To answer the first half I can say that…

Confusion. Bewilderment. Brink of insanity. Web of lies. Complications. These words describe the situations I’ve been in before I left Social Media. Getting immersed in a scroll fest of unnecessary information that fed tiredness to my brain was the schedule whenever I had free time. The Changes During day 2 to day 5 whenever I…

[44] Solace from the Soulless.

What shackles us is not the judgement of others but the perceived thought that they will judge us. We humans, a tribal community, have lived life without instantaneous connectivity almost 99% of our time on earth (if we weren’t on other planets). The age we live in, the age of connectivity demands us of our interruption,…

[42] Water Kills You

The story is inspired by the Writing Prompt – “100% of people who drink water will die” sounds like a dumb statistic, but you are 900 years old and very thirsty. Enjoy! ——— “Dude you’ve got to meet this guy. He looks so… different but speaks so wise. Have you seen “The Man from Earth” where…

[33] Concrete Jungle Never Leaves You

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…

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…

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…

That’s the biggest excuse we give us, our emotional response to our inability to do a certain task is I have no time. Maintaining this blog every day will take about 30 minutes to think about the topic (If I am going for a detailed post), 20 minutes to write, 5 minutes to edit and…

One thing I’ve learned directing my second short film is that management of the crew, actors and the DOP is essential for creating life on screen as desired by you. I’ve only looked at directing from a skewed perspective of it being a creative desire to infuse life into 24 frames a second. Never have I…
