Do not judge names
Even though sometimes they mean the utter opposites.
Dance even if nobody is watching. Sing even if nobody is listening. Count the slits your wrist even if no body cares.
There are cobwebs in the bookshelf. Kiss them. Do not dare to clean the one's in your spine for they hold memories trapped.
A cuckoo doesnt had a nest. So it doesnt know how to have its own home.
Sprinkle every prayer over unpeeled poems. They will taste better only in his tongue, but dont wait for him.
We are always kids waiting for their favorite snacks, without realising our mothers are sharpening the knives to cut us open. \\will we lay golden eggs? No//
We should feed the dogs with our tongues because hunger should be eradicated. Because unnecessary things should be thrown out.
We dont know the tastes of burnt daisies. Only dead does. \arent we all dead/
Curls should not be straighted. But words should be minced./Given a choice will you drown or hang?/
Don't answer honestly when someone asks how you are. People dont listen to what they dont want to hear.
If someone promises you world, smile politely. /we are not a part of this world /
Pain is an ice cube. It makes us numb.
There are different types of love. The one that put a knife into lamb's heart and also the ones that make a fish fly.
Snails have more than thousand teeth /Do they also taste blood with every word they utter?/
Dont be afraid when our fathers look into our eyes. \for us eyes are not windows to our soul because we traded our soul for a lover's heartbeat/
Look closer at the lines in your palm. That is a family tree trying not to end./where is the starting line if it's a 'family' line/
If someone say that death is scary, don't tell them that it is not, when the death is our own.

 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...
