A poet makes notes on humanity, one atom and twitch at a time.
1:12 pm: I was under the impression that poets have a heart thundering with tender sensitivity; their blood drawn from the most fragile of emotions, tiptoeing around with succour and composed with passion.
Turns out they are ALL made of flesh and blood susceptible to jealousy…

7:07 pm: Everything is such a muddle right now. And I'm this close to extracting my cerebrum and cerebellum and putting them both in a box; I seem to be doing pretty well in mediocrity without them both!

There is a constant stream of mechanical noises climbing through the window into my bedroom.
Armed with smoke from its musicians, buses and rickshaws, it is quite a fantastic beast.
But I have no intention of taming it.

And of course, this is India I’m talking of!

3:35 pm: a certain organization asked me to take a pledge when I worked with them. “We will be transparent and have each other’s back” and all that.
Well they were transparent—that yes—about not having a spine! Our backs were out of the question!

2:06 pm: #Gaza on Instagram has become a prop to drag people to your account. I’m saying this because I know quite a few who don’t care whether the Gazans live to see their freedom or die under its collapsing rubble.
But they prance around in their reels making the right noises to reel you in!

2:02 pm: The easiest way to speak out against things is to do so anonymously.
This was exactly what I realized in the early 2000s; and by the looks of it, nothing has changed since then.

5:19 pm: The rains have pulled away from the city; and a murder of crows hovers over the trees alongside the apartment. I have no intention of going for a walk but if I don’t all my subsequent intentions will go to bed.
So a walk is what I’ll go for.

It’s the conversation between loneliness and a deep shade of nirvana.

10:39 pm: The suburban service has reached the end of the line. I need to take a long-distance passenger train from there.
In fact, I should have taken it years ago. But I was distracted by the pulse that kept beating

We rarely saw her admiring her shopping list. That’s because we never saw her shop.
I remember she loved ice. The report said icicles were swimming in the left ventricle…
