If I say esoteric, people say it’s a word difficult to fathom. But then, I point out that exoteric—the well-known and the widely understood—stumps them too. Do these words mean anything at all?
When I drink, I smoke. And I try to maintain an optimal proportion of both, when in simultaneity. 3 drags and a swig. I’m never satisfied though. Therein lies the puzzle. I’m happy, but the niggling details refuse to let go. Too much for the lungs, too little for the liver, or viceversa. If I concern myself with the details, I just cease to enjoy the moment.
At bedtime, I agree that it has been a happy day. The hours conflate, translating into a balmy feel; yet, the analysis of the minutes vex me. If I choose, still, to be happy, the other me reminds me that there has been disregard of slights. Thoughts have not been thought over. The saner me says, “Rub those stains off for tomorrow, please. Or else they will notice and comment.” I’m many different persons while talking to myself.
So, smart and sprightly, up and running, I stand at the threshold of existence to welcome the daylight of life. Shuttling between existence and life though are the moments.
Between the perfectly done hair and new shoes lies a trepid heart, and beneath it are two cold feet.
She grew up by the sea with the rustle of sand-filled breeze. I step out and the blare of incessant honking and the cry of too many babies stupefy me. Reality distorts dreams many times over.
It has been seeping into me that no lesson lasts a lifetime. The agenda always outsmarts the plan.

Beautiful writing. Even at work, those few times when I reviewed your papers, it used to be a delight to observe the way your mind worked.

A gamut of my emotions expressed so well there! Its so comforting to know that there are like minded people going through the same thought process!
:( Could not understand a bit (a bit bole to any bit)
I need a tution.
candid confessions: its all the more surprising to me when I've people who relate to what i write.. cos i just write what i feel like and sometimes its quite abstract; being, or still being, understood is like the icing on the cake (the cake being the actual process of penning down thoughts)..comments like yours makes me wonder if there are birds beyond the ocean with similar plumes
prits: i'm not sorry but i wish you had understood..you certainly don't need tuition :-)
will somebody pleeeeeeeeeeez tell ma wats dis bout???
really i neeed to knw...m feelin helpless...
sonika: if you could just tell me which parts you didn't understand, I would be willing to explain the same to you. I intend no sarcasm or judgment; i only want to get what I've written across
