If I had to grade this city against Harry Potter’s Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWLS) standard, I’d give it an exceeds expectations. I had expected to be utterly homesick, dismal and regretful of my decision to be here. On the contrary, I find myself perfectly content if not blissfully enchanted. I’d expected myself to miss the [...]

What do I do when
I am forced by unforeseen
unavoidable circumstances
to see or hear that
which I would rather avoid?
Crane my neck a full 90 degree
and change the angle of my sight?
plug my ears with my fingers
and repeat to myself, “that does not exist”?
maybe burn it up and
flush it down the toilet.
But what if it is not [...]

You studied and studied to become oh so learned
Yet you never took the time to study yourself
You ran and ran to the temple without fail
But never bothered to enter your own heart
Everyday you fight Satan
But you never fight your own self (ego)
~ Baba Bulleh Shah
This according to my dashboard is my 100th post. I want [...]

I just got ticking about the Happiness logic again and realized that it is indeed so simple. If one wants to be dissatisfied and unhappy s/he can find plenty of reasons to become unhappy and dissatisfied but by just a little trying and giving one self what one truly deserves – that tiny bit of [...]

I won’t lie no more
No more will I lie.
No stinkin’ heartbreakin
soul sapping lie.
I lay on my ol’ bed
try to drift asleep
but I’ve been cursed
cursed by a lie I told.
The people outside
they don’t know
but the guards of my
conscience they know.
So I tell the truth
to wash away the lie.
Scrub the floor of my
soul spic and span.
Here’s me [...]

My ode to the four headed lord
You thought I’d not realize that it was you
who opened the door and showed the light
and the way to where I should go, but I knew.
I knew it was you in your glory who saw my plight.
My mother always told me that no matter what
You’d stand by me [...]

I’m confused whether I should let my blog be public or not. I mean a lot of people have started reading me and like certain things I write but there are so many sides to me that the other sides might turn people off and make them judge me against what I write. I belong [...]

I was always after dreams, all sorts of dreams; acting towards them, chasing them and experiencing them. Some dreams I’ve had and sometimes still do are what I like to think are small dreams, easily attainable but with bigger prices to pay and others are big ones hard to attain and also with some small [...]

You see, I’m the not the only one
who should feel bad, regretful or otherwise
An apology was much needed – from you-
just don’t do it again to anyone, ever again.
You see you shouldn’t play around with people
especially wild, underground, intense emotional forces;
They’re not conventional, you cant expect them
to say what you want them to say, or [...]
I write, they respond
