A collection of independent short stories and thoughts. I started writing these on my other blog (Random Scribbles), and then decided to start a separate one for this genre of writing. The dates for the first thirteen posts are misleading: they were written and posted long before the dates indicated here.

Short Scribble 29
The translation of a thought into words can sometimes drain the memory of other thoughts that you would like to translate - and that hurts more than anything else

Short Scribble 27
You are afraid of your reality crumbling down upon you, you are afraid of being stranded upon a world full of corpses that shan't respond to your cries of helplessness, you're afraid of your voice becoming useless.. you aren't afraid of an eternal sleep, you're afraid of waking up to nothing, of being caught, locked up..
You aren't afraid of dying, you're afraid of living forever.

Short Scribble 26
The restless soul calms when by her side,
Beats my heart, now both heavy and light,
As I rest my head, upon her lap,
And my limbs on the temple's grass.
Sweet words flow, in the tongue of my land,
Waking life in each grain of sand,
Sways my heart, instead of the umbilical cord that was,
Dancing in tune, with the music of Assam.

Short Scribble 24
And art is a cool pool,
Which one digs and fills,
Where the world takes a dip,
Immersing itself whole,
Bathing in its refreshing waters,
Losing themselves for a few moments,
So they can get out there,
And walk another mile.

Organized thought is intelligence.
-
When consciousness is wounded, imprinting on another piece of consciousness is the medicine. Basking in compassionate attention can heal.

Lies my camera, Lie her lips, Lies the crowd, And all my friends, Lies she, the woman I know, Better than she knows herself, I know...
