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...

In the chilling temperature !

Yeh. Had been up early today. There was a task at hand. Had gone to leave my brother for his school trip, and apparently, it didn't get over until about 3 hours later than scheduled time. And in between all these, I was standing in the cold air for all the 3 hours. It was an experience ! With hands in my pockets all the time, shivering at times !! Eeeew !! And here, the nights seem to get chill each and every day.My evening walks are turning to be freezing cold. But still, I hang on. I just can't imagine people in Europe going through the temperatures out there ! It's way down the negative scale !! Hats off to them !

The Trip

It was started off as just another Whatsapp group, but fortunately it ended up as something which materialized into a get-together. With couple of months of planning lead by our very own planning commision head, Mr. S, a trip to Ooty, worked out for the long weekend clubbed with Labor Day. The agenda was clear: A visit to our alma mater, a drive through the valleys of Ooty, and an overnight stay, and then the return day after - and yes, celebrating Mr. A’s homecoming as well. The plan looked simple, but the eagerness towards it wasn’t such. It had been a long time ever since the whole of Troublers (yes! that’s the name of our group), had sat down together, and talked like there wasn’t an end to the world. And The Trip was surely going to be a mark up for that. For me, it happened to be a rush through with missing out on the first day to The Trip. So after the hiccups with the month end closure and between the hurried heartbeats decrypting the excitement into smiles, I boarded t...
