CALL IT WHAT YOU MAY...


Hold that thought.
It just might topple your mind palace.
Mind you, when your worst enemy wants instant gratification,
Stop there, then think twice (this time, using your brain).
You can't always have what It wants.

 Relish your reveries, write poetry out of it (but don't rush it).
Try living it and you might never 'reverie' again.
Stay in control of your worst enemy.
Your actual life is just a small window between
Your gaining control over It and then loosing It at the end.

 Reveries are like curtains,
Thin curtains that'll let you see the Outside in a shadowy hue.
Still there is that fear of the unknown.
But that moment the door opens, and the Outside attains vividness,
Your worst enemy is set loose.

 You are now in constant struggle just to contain It.
Believe me, all the vessels in the world wouldn't suffice.
Great men have tried,
Known are the stories of failure, unknown are those who won.

 Still there is that question of pleasure,
That giggly feeling that keeps you going.
Should you lose it over this curbing and containing?
Secretly revered are those who deemed it wise and practiced it.
Publicly admired are those who thought it stupid and ignored it.
It's not the choices we make that defines our life,
It's the reasons for which we make them.

AND SO IT WAS IN THE EAST...

To rewrite Shakespeare is a fool's affair… And I became that fool... A Cultural adaptation of the Famous COURT SCENE in THE MERCHANT OF VENICE... Shylock became Shankaran, Antonio became Thommen, Bassanio became Philipose, Balthazar became Radhakrishnan and even the Pound of Flesh was not relived of this Violence... When they told me to put the Shakespearian story into an Indian context, I was doubtful at first.  But that’s one good thing about the life at St. Berchmans College (Autonomous), Changanassery. You always get to do the things that most frightens you. For those who are interested in reading the Script of the play, here is the link: https://mybigscream.blogspot.in/2016/12/and-so-it-was-in-east.html Here you can watch my play:

THE STORY OF HOW I MADE MY FIRST PROPOSAL AND FAILED...

2016 September 20, 1:10 pm I decided that this was the day... I didn't have the courage.... But I had to get it off my heart... I never thought this would happen to me. Love... A passing fancy. That's all it was for me. Until now... Until she...  I don't remember the first time I saw her. I don't know how or when or why I liked her. Its been over three months now. I would look at her while I pass her by. After some days, she began to notice. Then her friends began to notice. They began to smile at me like I was some Joker who was to be their entertainment. But I never cared about what they thought.  So,  I would stand there all day Like a monkey carved in clay. My eyes tilted sideways, To see her drift across my place. She was atleast 2 years elder than I was. It was not Practical in any way. But I couldn't stop. Because there was a gleam of approval in her eyes. I don't think she liked me. No. How can she ever like a Stupid...
