![[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…

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…

All you are now is a tremor in my memory Like the coming of an earthquake but to me just an illusion of the mind All you’ve become now is just a scar on my skin Like an invisible tenant of my body but the one that makes its presence felt once in a while…

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…

It was one of those conversations where the word “love” was mentioned 31 times where it felt for the first time that with all this distance between us space can feel suffocating too It was one of those conversations where the word “bye” was mentioned 55 times and yet we talked regardless letting every sound…

I let my eyes adjust to the dark to let it uncover its secrets to let it overcome me somehow to show the potential of what we become if we give in to the vices and all the temptation that comes with it All your philosophy of life that you neatly lifted from minds alike and…

The weight of my intelligence weighs on my stupidity and I carry it like an exercise in style but waiting for you to tell me that sometimes intelligence is negligent and some rawness of our mind is elegant where nothing comes out of a filtered brain and all you care is to get that weight…
