This Great Evil

Where's it come from? 

How'd it steal into the world? 

What seed, what root did it grow from? 

Who's doing this? 

Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we might've known? 

Does our ruin benefit the earth, does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? 

Is this darkness in you, too? 

Have you passed through this night?

-Thin Red Line

क्योंकि... ग़ालिब

रही न ताक़त-ए-गुफ़्तार और अगर हो भी 

तो किस उम्मीद पे कहिये कि आरज़ू क्या है

As Time Goes By

Do we know we are in good times or bad times?

Or do we realize that only once the time is past?


I often read history and wonder what people felt then. What were they thinking? How were they feeling?

Why did they do what they did?

How could they? 

Or why didn't they?

We are those people in the history books. 

Just that it will be written in the future.

 

Play it once, Sam

For old time's sake.

Play it, Sam

Another Year

Changing us.

Full of changes

Most of them difficult

Big Losses

Minor gains

People

 Two good people left Ola Foods in a couple of days  - Inder and Manisheel.

I've been here for 6 months and most good people have already left the company. 

I've gotten used to people coming and going in life. Mostly it happens in professional environment.

I don't like people leaving.

I still miss the people I shared home with when I first moved out of Jaipur. 

Yet this is something I expect most of the time. 

I also realize that I'm no more the person I was a few years ago. I avoid people. I want to be left alone even when my work involves meeting and dealing with a lot of people.

Mandatory Birthday Post

This blog celebrates its birthday today. 

And I start my new life in Bangalore from today. 

I realize that life will continue to be difficult as it progresses. If there’s one thing I would wish for, it’s the strength to be able to live up to the challenges it throws at me.
