I've always been alone. Especially at nights. The loneliness strikes hard on nights I cry, screeming into my pillow. In those pitch dark nights the one gleam of light that fills my room slowly and beautifully is the moon. Irrespective of how it is, where it is, the moon comes to me. Through my window the comfort I get is the warmth of a mother and the company of a friend. On moonless nights it's as if the moon hands me over to the stars, they shine so bright and I wait for the moon to come to me. I wait for the moon to come to me.
I thought I was done with it. With this so called "Love". I believed that what I expect of love will never be given to me. I was sure it was all over.
But here I am sitting on my desk, gazing at my desktop screen, reading all those wonderful texts he sent me. Those lines of poetry that I had always wanted to hear. His words are the petals of the rose named love. But I fear that the thrones of the rose will prick me in no time.
Maybe this insecurity of mine is pointless, maybe even meaningless. That's what he told me too......
Maybe I am just fearing a bit too much. Maybe I am thinking too much. maybe........
I hope its just all in my head. And this time maybe it will work out. maybe my insecurity will just be done. he may be different from the rest. I now he is. the better different I hope
Stop associating success with age.. Stop associating happiness with age... Stop associating journeys with age... If something makes you happy and you are able to do it now do it! If you can't, wait and do it when you can! It doesn't matter how old you are what matters is how happy you are how content you are... Age is JUST a number

These human beings are so strange. They love you so much that they try to chain you down. They think only if you can hold on to something, maybe someone only then love remains.
Well, I love them too. They say, a dog is the most loyal animal, a man’s best friend. I am loyal to my humans, and I have been their best friend.
It’s funny, they think they can chain me down and love me more.
Yeah I know this is all very confusing to understand as to what is happening. I’ll begin from the beginning.
So, I’m Snowy; a white Pomeranian. I know not a creative name, but I like it now. I was 3 weeks old when I saw this beautiful family of human beings. A man, a woman, and a tiny human, all riding in a bike together. Cute..
I thought they’d feed me, so I went in front of the bike, they stopped but before that, they hurt me. I got hit by the bike. It did hurt, a lot. I was screaming, howling to be precise. They took good care of me. They cared a lot. I kept hearing them saying, I saved their life. Apparently, there was a stone in front of the bike and because I came in front they got saved. Otherwise they would have got hurt it seems.
So, now I’m theirs, just like that. They picked me up and I’m theirs. Named me Snowy, it was a silly name in the beginning, but now it’s nice. There is love when they call me Snowy. Cute...
Soon, I got a collar, a chain and a new home. I started marking my territory. I peed in all the poles and corners, so that no one else came in. There is this another human, the one who always wears the blue shirt, who always stays next to the tall iron wall. He help-s me keep my territory mine. He doesn't allow other dogs to come in. He help[s me keep my territory mine. My blue human.
A lot of people come here and everyone loves me. Not bragging or anything, but I am cute. You know the type girls like. So ya, I get a lot of attention. I see a lot of other dogs, trying to come in, trying to be friends with me, trying to scare me. At first i wouldn’t allow, but then I needed some friends.
But the actual problems was during the nights. Now, we dogs love nights. The phrase shouldn’t be night owl, rather night dogs. because we are the guards of dogs, we are the night owls, I mean the night dogs.
But these humans, they are so boring. They sleep at night, and they don’t bother much, so at night the other big dogs, they come to my place, they try to mark my territory as theirs. I bark and bark until they leave, I howl I scream. But this happens every night and the humans don’t like it.
I am 2 years old now. All grown up and there is this another tiny human in the house. A little cuter than me. He gets all the attention now, doesn’t like me much, and now I’m not allowed inside the house. I like this tiny human, but I’m not allowed to be close to him. I wonder why.
I go wandering to find some cute dogs, friendly dogs, some nice dogs, I really need someone to spend time with.
One time I was walking around and this human just took me away. I don’t understand these humans, they think they can just pick me up and take me home. Like I’m this thing they can possess. I was chained there for a few nights and one night I got the chance to run away. I came back to my humans. told you I was loyal, again there was so much love, but there was something missing. No dog understood me. There are a lot of humans who really like me, but these humans don’t understand me.
That’s when I saw this cute little girl dog. she was heavenly beautiful. She crawled in at night and ate my leftover food, I didn’t feel like barking, her puppy eyes, wagging tail... it was just beautiful. She was so adorable, like that little human.
She started coming every night from then on and I started leaving some food for her every night. But for some odd reason, she seemed very scared. It seemed like someone had hurt her. She licked me to say thank you. I sat her down and asked her one time, why she was scared and what happened. She didn’t wanna talk and just gave out a meek bark. I respected that, so I never asked her again. It’s up to her, but I assured her that she would be safe around me and my humans. Since then she’s always around me. She goes out to meet some other friends and come back at night when no humans are around, tells me everything that happened during the day, and just like that I become a part of her adventure and she became a part of my life. Eventually they found out but accepted her, and I told you right, those eyes have a charm!
Then we’ve always been around. I went out again and those huge scary dogs, they started barking and started chasing me away. I started running and everywhere it was the same, those huge dogs. They just couldn’t stop barking. I ran and ran and came near this car. It stopped and the humans gave me food and again those humans thought they can take me home, and just like that I was in their house. I was gone again. I didn’t know where I was, what I was doing. I was chained, taken care of, fed properly, loved. But I was chained. I wanted to go back to my humans.
I had to leave, I just had to, after a long time, many nights, they take me back to my humans. It was strange, they loved me and still just gave me away.
My humans, they kept asking me why I left, I told them, I barked and barked, I told them I was chased but they didn’t listen to me. I mean how would they, these humans only hear only what they want to hear. Ever since then, I’m chained. They say it’s for my own good. I can’t walk more than 8 feet, this chain, it pulls me back, pulls me down. Remember that puppy, she still comes visit me. She has grown up a little now, but those puppy eyes, they still are the same. She licked my face as soon as she saw me. Told me how much these human were worried. I told I went to see the world she always used to tell me about. The outside world.
Now I’m struck in my own world. These humans, they’re strange. They think in the name of love, they can lock me down and say it’s all for my own good. They say they love me unconditionally and put me under conditions. These humans, they love in a strange way.
I gaze at the evening sky
filled with all kinds of birds chirruping...
the parrots flying in flocks, the crows sharp enough to notice everything, the eagles high enough that they don’t care of what’s going down...
the sun sets in one corner, the moon now visible in between trees, in between clouds....
All the birds fly back home, the pigeons finding shelter in tall buildings, the crows in the big tree.
suddenly the night grows dark
not because of the night, or the clouds
rather something else is filling up the sky
I look up and find hundreds of bats all flying
filling the night sky with just enough space to reveal the moon
welcoming the full moon....
Why is one particular thing interconnected to so many particular things that to have one particular thing all other particular things must get in order to that one particular thing....
Me, myself again
With mountains climbed
Stars gazed at.
It's been a beautiful week of all my life.
With friends made, and friendships bonded
I don't know how life could change.
People talked, laughed, had a merry go ride.
This has been where relationships redefined
New ones made
Judgements broken and new ones made.
Love to all the people and all the memories.
To the good and bad triping
I always wonder, if I could do a lot of things, life would have been a bit more simpler.
if I could read other people's mind it would have been simpler to avoid complications, to not hurt people. I would not have broken the trust of my beloved and regret those lies.
if I could go back in time, I would have undone a lot of things that hurt her and made her eyes go wet. I would have not fallen in love with all those wrong guys and now be in a state of hating love.
if I could get a second chance, I would apologize to all those whom I hurt.
if I could.... if I just could... I would do a hundred things that made life simpler, that made life easier.
I plug in my earphones with no music switched on
The night slowly turned mellow.
The embrace of my best friend's mother
and the timing of my google photo notifications
just feels like a hug and a salp at the same time.
I gaze at pictures of the sky,
my phone chimes again
It's the reminder I had set to call my parents.
I swipe it away and brush off my thoughts
I do not have the energy to dial the number
and deal with both of them.
I continue looking at the image from last year,
a time when I was at a stranger's house
as I didn't wanna go home
I saw how juggling between multiple things,
multitasking, studying and working
were all pins to my shoulder
pinned with pride and a pinch of salt.
I remember how I was happy for the lack of time
to think, to feel and to contemplate.
But then going home, going back to that house
having to live with the person
whose house I left years ago.
scared me in a way I didn't know of
It made me want to leave even before reaching
It made me want the plane to crash
the car to stumble
the road to split.
It scared me that staying under the same roof
would scratch wounds that had become scars
would lead to conversations that would end to fights
I reached the building she called home and I called house
I remember how she would want to embrace me in a hug and I'd stand still
I remember how she wanted to know the people in my life
and how she wasn't a part of it
I remember how she had faded from all of it
While I stab my toe on the way to find my notebook to scribble this down
My phone chimes of the reminder to sleep
I still stare at the notification.
I miss the person I don't want in life.
I constantly live in chaos but seek organization. I envy those who do great but am not jealous. I love it when someone compliments me, but don't know how to react. I love the fact that I am liked and disliked by a lot of people at the same time.
And all these thoughts bring about a lot of question in my mind. I have been aloof in a long while about everything. I have been pushing away deadlines, stay awake and do nothing. I have wasted my time and energy doing nothing as if I have got nothing.
There is indeed a lot of things I want to do. And that question I was talking about which haunts me is "where is all this leading to?"
I am completely insane about the fact that I have a lot of errands to run and I am still aloof.
It is actually astonishing and weird that I notice all the chaos in life and still do nothing about it. But I know that I am seeking for organization. But something, some force, maybe the biggest enemy of mine is pulling me down. "Laziness"
Its completely strange and crazy to say this, but I think I am responsible for my failure, it is my stupidity of all that makes me react and overreact to unnecessary, well let's say not so important things in life. I am angry at someone for being good and dissapointed in me for staying aloof.
I am not pinpointing anything or infact pinpointing myself. I think its the 3:30 am thoughts. Maybe sleeplessness. Maybe the disturbance in my head. But again there is peace and a sence of calmness in my head. I guess I have a clear head now and the morning would be without the laziness and the aloofness. I guess I'll be fine the first thing in the morning.
I guess its all in your head. And yet again I seek organization in my chaos.
