Greed is the currency of life
Dreams are its estate
Happiness in the landscape of sorrow
Such is Life, a game for Fate….

To Remember or Not…..
Life often times becomes obsessed with today and tomorrow. So much so, that it seems to be born everyday only to die day after and be born again. Then, might we say –
“All life is but a pursuit to evade the Past?”
As I walk through the pavements of my memory today, I encounter countless moments which have been resisted from remembrance – only to make me comfortable in my mind. Thus, naturally we do not recall the one time when we broke out in tears out of fear or lost someone out of one’s own selfishness or chose to ache an ailing heart because its bearer had done a mindless act offending our sensibilities.
The more I see, the more I know that in all my trysts with the Past, it is not the past itself which suffers. Rather the ghosts of people residing in it bear the violence for they have become frozen in time. As I choose to grudge against certain memories, I opt to lemmatise their agents, thereby gathering my power over the ghosts in the memory.
Yet, I forget that even today would become a memory tomorrow. And the people I meet today would be the ghosts I would want to freeze tomorrow….Just like I would become a ghost to forget tomorrow in the mind of a certain other who seems to be unimportant today…
So, do I choose to remember? Or do I opt to forget?
Knowing that my memory becomes the only gateway for someone to exist?
I must admit that I have come to this realisation after reading about the Award Winning Broadway Show “Dear Evan Hansen” (based on the book of the same name by Steven Levenson). It is indeed a very thought-provoking musical.
Has anyone watched it?!

The Ache of Azure
Chaos is in order
The string has broken its chord
As insanity dances freely
the truth is over awed
As rain washes itself in the sea
Mountains dissolve in the sand
Humanity chases itself
While Hand demands a hand
From the last death comes the first cry
Living becomes a panorama of sorrow
If such be the plight today
What comes of ringing tomorrow ?
Three Days, Three Quotes, Three Tagged Challenge (3D3Q3T) Day 3
The Third day for my 3D3Q3T challenge introduced to me by Lana Cole at Lana’s Blog
I have chosen a quote from my favourite book to mark my successful completion of this task – Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel Cervantes
Of that incredible Spanish book, I have chosen this particular post because it brings out a very interesting dichotomy between two concepts that intermingle in our everyday – “facts” and “truth”.
Should they choose to accept, my next three nominations for this challenge are as follows:
Cheers to the spirit of learning!

Three Days, Three Quotes, Three Tagged (3D3Q3T) Day 2
So, it is my second day of Lara Cole’s Quote challenge to me and I believe I am doing just fine…
The Quote for today has set my mind on ignition of thought. It is as similar as saying –
“If reality is a constructed image, how do we know we are real?”
With these words, I nominate three more of my fellow bloggers for this challenge and I hope they would love to carry this energy forward!
Till tomorrow then!
Cheers!
