The Hollow Inside

They say it's okay
The silence, is normal
For it doesn't hurt anyone
Lest it shall trouble none.

The doldrums of time
Keep beating itself, as one
Never ending rhythm of
Deep thoughts and tunes

Our friend, the mirror
Tells us stories of laughter
In the silence, which shadows
The storm inside us.

We are for ever, by them
They are, for themselves
In the darkness of loneliness
We are all one.

The greenery, feels black
The sunshine, dims dark
The night is our dear friend
Yet the darkness, doesn't help

If help us, you possibly can't
Understand us, you at least shall
We live with our silences, in
Our own mute wind chimes

It's hard, to go by
Smiling, yet burning inside
Cause no one knows, that you're
Living, yet dying inside.

P.S: An inspiration and dedication to the very recently watched movie - Joker - enacted exceptionally by Joaquin Phoenix, and a marvellous story. More than the comic character, it's a great lot amount on how people should be portraying and considering mental health. It's an important aspect of the human mind, but yet, often, we all don't give too much attention to it, which in turn ends up as calculated negligence.

Vicious Circle of Survival of the Fittest

It's one of the famous theories existing in the world. The one part of the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin, which we all have learnt in school - "Survival of the fittest". Along the years of human evolution, the above said principle has seen to be followed by us as a species. And it is very evident in other species as well. The strong and the healthy ones, survive the competition and progress further in time. The ones who are weak, perish and the cycle repeats for numerous number of times. It might have been repeating for millions of years! Once one-sided, but it returns back! When we reflect on our society, we see the very repercussions of this theory in it. People have been evolving as civilizations along many years, and there have been remarkable changes in our societies as well. But as we should see two sides of everything, there are two sections of people, one which is very well off in their lives, and another section which is not at all so. P...

Should we exist this way ?

The curiosity of mankind with finding Life on another planet has always been there. Various scientific expeditions, telescopes roaming all over the outer space, various researches going on. And often there are reports all over stating that there are life supporting planets many light years away from our own. Considering the philosophical side of it. Suppose if we do come across such a world, where life exists. We as a life form called HUMANS, existing on this third planet of the solar system called Earth. We have our own definitions for things that exist. It was around 5 or 6 years ago that the planet Pluto was deprived of its "planet" status. And there are various things as well, which we define for our own sensibilities. As humans, we are supposed to co-exist with all the fellow living beings on the Earth. But that's not what is happening. Just wonder, that one day, we do discover that there is a life-existing planet other than ours, and there is a life-form as well...

One Year Down at Planet-E!

A small void left about. The calmness gets into the mind, but still, you miss the fulfilment inside the void. That's the situation which is lingering now. Even though, the ever active and lively life has come to a break, in a way it's being missed. The constant running around, handling different things at a time and wrapping up time till and post midnight. That's on a break, at least academically. So, taking a flashback to June 2012. It was a different time. As an MBA aspirant I had put foot on that soil, with hopes of entering the 'management' world, a door to another world - that of the Corporate. And from there on, close to 10 months have been spent there. With most of the time being there, it has evolved to be my second home. And the feeling of staying separate from it, doesn't get digested much. But just a short recap on went on within the past year - 10 months to be exact. Right from the Orientation session, the gelling in with the fellow stude...
