The Absurdity of halves

 Do you think it's absurd that I want to study Latin, Greek,  history,  law and politics..  also philosophy.. I mean am at that stage of life where am supposed to have a job, to support my family. But am thinking about some things that will never happen.. Like having a post graduation in English literature, getting a job as a librarian, meeting a Korean guy and falling in love. .. yes thus is how my brain works. She is an irony itself. She is a pessimist and optimist at the same time. She cries and hopes at the very same moment.  She wants to share but also to hold back.. She wishes to say "FUCK you " and also cares about hurting others.. She bleeds a lot but acts like everything is OK.. or can we just point out that she wants someone to read this blog but also doesn't wnt that? it's the same about my heart too. it loves and it hates..  it can't move in but moves on.. My heart wants to follow the dreams but it is practical.. 

I think you read and understood right _ "she" for my brain and "it" for my heart.. Why so? The brain never failed me, but the heart made me fail a lot. Does that even make sense? Let me give an example... I once fell in love with someone. I listened to my heart and look, am in pieces... only if I had listened to my brain... her reasons, her scrutiny, her criticism.. I never did.. but now I do.. 

does that make a difference? well do you find regret here? Sometimes I do regret about my lost (and losing) beautiful days.. but sometimes I think everything happened for good, atleast i have a story with a moral...

In short am living in halves...

And am in halves here too, so please don't try to make assumptions...(if anyone is reading this then the other half wishes to know your assumptions in the comment box)

 I am longing for death.  Forever longing for it.When people around me crave to live, do everything to have a life, I could never understand it. I could never understand the meaning of their desire. I always wanted to die… slowly, painlessly, and alone. Over time, my death instinct  became an inexorable habitual thought. The yearning to merge into an infinite darkness is there, always. The swelling torment I can't put into words. There was nothing, until him, that could dilute my urge to die. I used to think I can hold on a little, until he disappeared. I was obsessed to wither completely.  Look at me now. I think I have died, when he left. What a metaphor, the old cliché, you may think. I can declare this without embarrassment, but I can't express it. It is really so heavy to be afforded by my vocabulary, thoughts, and consciousness... Many moons ago, I listened passively to Nee Mattume by T.M. Krishna. And yesterday night, like a little miracle, it came back to me...

THE BOOK OF SETHI

PROLOGUE: THE FIRST TIME GRIEF SANG I don’t remember the first time I heard Ali Sethi. I remember what I lost when I did. Something inside me— the part that kept sorrow folded beneath my tongue— opened its eyes. It wasn’t music. It was recognition. A voice that didn’t arrive like thunder, but like memory—slow, precise, mercifully cruel. It sang in the key of ache I inherited but never named. This is not about songs. It’s about the ruins they left glowing. It begins, always, with silence. And then: Ali. 1 TO THE VOICE THAT ARRIVED BEFORE STORM Some nights, I don’t know if it’s rain, or your voice pressing its forehead against my window. Ali, you don’t sing— you stitch. Each word, a needle pulling centuries through my skin. I keep your ragas in my wrists— they flutter when grief walks in, asking for tea and permission to stay. Who gave you the right to know what longing sounds like before I could name it? Who taught your throat to echo the ache I buried beneath my mother tongue? Sometime...

If love is peeling oranges, then  God is the transcultural smell  residing inside crescent of fingernails. Consuming prayers,  a bead of fragility in hands,  he tells you that : In love we are blind,  In love we are far sighted. His delicate crockeries inside  a filthy broken sink is  his metaphor for us. The way he scrub them is his synonym for violent love  and antonym for soft grief. Once in a while, the shards of his anger  turns me into a silent film  suffocating under city lights. Then you change into a morning  with mourning , Into a ship torn under monsoons, Into a broken concave mirror, Into a prime number in solitude, Into a black hole singing opera. Still we exchange kisses with words  inside  the holes on our throat.  God chain smoking in his evening gown interrupt us with a question,  What is your religion? This is when a love letter switch into  a propaganda poem  written by plum faced ang...
