[180] Present Plight
![[180] Present Plight](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/180.jpg)
Sometimes when the rain comes I ask myself Was i wrong to love you? Is this waning self-confidence worth your little display of affection Is knowing that you are mine only sometimes worth hurting myself all the time? I’m almost close to the answer it lingers in a thought between the past and the future…

[176] How To Be Successful?
![[176] How To Be Successful?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/img_7440.jpg)
We’re all excited in the story of the successful. The 1% that have achieved what they imagined. We deny ourselves thinking that we won’t be a part of that 1%, so we don’t listen to the other not so successful 99%. So now we don’t know what not to do. Who tells the story of…

Render me useless and make me forget your smile Let it be a part of our vanishing time and a part of an unsolved puzzle where you & I speak more but understand less The air feels devoid of movement as if it has zoned out looking at the sun the abstraction becoming more and…

I am the shadow of your gloomy nights A nobody, a reflection of the dark Just to hear your silent contemplation of where you are & where you wanted to be Just to watch you deny death as you almost throw the pen away from your mess of a mind You try to hear a sobbing…

[75] A Summary Of A Poetic Life.

Sometimes you forget that reality breathes. You ask yourself if this spectacle in front of you is a painting or a dream? The scenery is beyond an impressionistic work of art. Like an echo of a time that you can almost touch, the reality fades into a daydream where sounds cease to exist and imagination…

She didn’t react to my behaviour. Nor did she express any contempt. But all I could hear in her footsteps and the saintly silence with which she worked, all I could hear was reaction and contempt. I am a child of my mother. My age is 22, and I have no job. Not because I…

[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…

[15] Everyone is scared

There is a guy in my classroom; tall, well built and when he speaks words flow out of him like waves hitting the rocks – rock solid. I have always envied the plethora of confidence he exudes. Never have I doubted his confidence. But then I see it shatter in front of me. The facade…

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…

[11] Illness and its grip on you
A disease stricken mind can’t function at its fullest potential but if you stay idle you are letting it overpower you. Have you tried hard enough to work your mind in 102 degrees temperature that you are radiating? Illness forms a grip on you when you let it. The best way to at least make…

[9] Forgetfulness of Dreams.
![[9] Forgetfulness of Dreams.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/maxresdefault.jpg)
You wake up from another world, still suffering from the dizziness you were engulfed in. A senseless world it was, weird in nature but some say it tells a lot about your deepest secrets. Dreams. You sleep, ignorant about the world you’re about to get in, yet you will be inside it. A fall, to…

[7] Thread and the needle.
When I was a child, my favourite pastime was playing with toy cars with my grandma. I used to wait for her to finish the work she did throughout the day and sit on the bed, waiting for her to come. The cars were always ready. I put them in order for her to choose…

[6] I don’t know.
How much do you believe your role model? How much do you believe the philosophers that walked on this planet? How much do you believe anyone who says anything? Every word I spew, write, slice, reflect, shoot on this page is a manifestation of the experience of my tiny existence. And our experience is limited?…

I am “….partly truth, partly fiction. A walking contradiction.” It is difficult to know yourself, the real true self. If you shed your skin, underneath you’ll find another layer and then another. How do you climb down to the deepest holes to find one’s true self? First, there is a possibility that you will weep…

You’re on your deathbed staring at the faces that stand beside you but your thoughts meander towards an imagined reality of what it could have been only if I did that. If becomes the starting word of every thought that you take. If only I would have said yes to that girl. If only I would…
