The Unknown




                   The Unknown

No one knows what the best way is,
No not even me.
The intoxication of the unknown,
It is highly deleterious;
Where are its roots?
Where is it heading to?
Maybe it is not even there.

Mystery is a solace comparatively,
Hanging by a thread on a cliff the easier way;
Chasing a trail-less prey with loaded guns
Or trailing a fugitive.
The undisguised beauty of the disguised
Its merciless inimical treatment.

At least the winds could have given a hint,
Its chilling touch I would have withstood;
Spare me, will you?

Traveler speakes.

Traveler speakes  Omg!! They are teerrrorist!!! Bhai they are....shit man we are in trouble....hey bhaiya they are evidence wala...terrorist right???. ..reacted my 2 mins 'hey bro' friend who looked more like a young Punjabi less like Andhra. We were just getting to know each other in the usual way we used to start knowing a stranger until this chained men showed up in our coach with a number of securities giving them company which made my almost friend freaked out and changed his seat. Sunny seems to be his name.  I didn't react much but soon after a family shifted to our boggy seeing them panic I almost lost my composure and started to think of things which might happen. They looked like any other Mussulman man but with their hand ornaments(chains) they somehow looked horrifying. Like all Muslims are stereotyped to be terrorists or suicide bombers it wasn't difficult for the civilians around me to call them ' adangvatis ' and were giving their own best ass

Your story is who you are!!!

Who you are!!! Everybody dreams of dream they want to live in. Based on that dream we build our world and in fact work to become the protagonist of that world. You may be an engineer who builds anything, a doctor who saves millions of lives, a singer who touches so many lives with your voice, a writer who have sold millions of copies, a fire fighter who have dedicated your live for the service of mankind, etc. etc. But in the midst of all that we are more than what we achieve and do. We all have a thing in common and which many of us seem to value less and that thing is we are all story tellers. We are telling a story of ourselves every moment of our lives. We are telling this unique story by way of living and how we are living. My question is how are we telling our story? Is our story a good story or a bad one? Our next neighbor is witnessing our story and is being affected in different ways. Our next neighbor could be our siblings, a friend, parents, a stranger or anyone with wh

Food for aspiring Writers

                      “Writers do not merely reflect and interpret life,  they inform and shape life”. We might have a cluster of different reasons why we write. For some it might be for leisure or fun, for another it might be a window or a gateway from the tyranny of darkness to light, for self-exploration, or as a form of expressing things we cannot express verbally, or you just simply love writing. There is an explosion of writing tips to aspiring writers and here are some of them which  I have dug that are essentially helpful to me. The list isn’t exhaustive. If you are an aspiring writer here’s a treat for you:     1.   Read as much as possible. Do not just read during your leisure. Keep reading in your daily schedule. This is the best and undeniable way to learn how to write.    Read outside of your comfort zone. Confining yourself to one genre will limit your style of writing.  2.   Pay attention to the world; to life. What you see and experience in life will be ac
