About

"It's not like you haven't been here before. Anyway, this is my mental attic, where I keep my trash and once in a while trek up here. You are welcome, but try not to disturb things around. "

Snowstorm

this day began with a snowstorm
at 5 am inside my mind
i was careening on silken slopes
and discovered a pool of red
growing slowly beside me as i lay there
wounded by the cold

drops dripped across my bed spread
onto my floor & coloured my tears

i watched the snow falling
turning into pictures & then splinters of words
that split my mind in half
you came to rescue me
but slipped on a piece of my past
that i forgot to cast away
under the carpet, out of my house
it was still there lodged in my memory
a frozen peice of time
i barely whispered..

thank you for listening so close
& dropping the snow globe
on the cold stone floor

in the fragments of glass
now i begin to see myself as whole

thank you for that warm sheet
that melted away the icicles
between us

in the heat of the night
now i can drift into a dreamless sleep

    the last of my guests here, if you know Meghana, you will never forget her. If you don't know her, you are missing something.

    Thanks Meghana. top

    Its the snow, which makes it easier for us to hear the whispers.

    It brings silence. And the snow storm just breaks that! :) top

    Dear Kohari and Meghana,

    Since Kohari thinks I am “flirting”, I will express my extremely lame way of “flirting”
    By this corny piece of song,

    Actually it is surprising because I haven’t even seen you and technically don’t know you at all. But I did see this really cute middle eastern girl, and just for the sake of this comment, wanted to believe she looks like you.

    So here is a typical Am F C D song


    If I had a hammer, I’d build a house on a tree for two
    If I had a yacht, I’d take you out for a long distance cruise
    If I were a poet, I’d write a verse or maybe three
    If I were a painter, with fine colours I’ll set you free

    But I don’t have a hammer
    And I only ride a skateboard
    I cannot even climb a tree
    And never be able to take you sailing

    And I am clearly not a poet
    And nor can I paint
    So I’ll never write a verse
    Or even paint your face

    And I also believe in Intra Terrestrial life top

  • Blogger meghu says so:

    you too? i always suspected stuff like that existed but you know noone ever believed me. we should form an intraterrestrial life believers community & send hate email to everyone who dosent sign up.

    schazeb - sorry to take up this space on your blog by random mundane nonsense. this is the last post i promise top

    schazu,
    you are a guy, na. why are guys so stuppid? I mean, honestly. the height of stuppidity is breached by guys alone. especially guys of indian descent who are so fucking stuppid, they don't even know ke they are, in fact, that stuppid.
    I can rant, na?
    love. top
