What makes us Human


Why does it always take

A few words from someone special

Just to liven up the soul 

Why do we yearn for things

That's ours only in dreams

Why do we keep doing things

That hurts us yet we never learn

Why do we struggle upstream

When all we need is a journey to the sea


Why do we feel those things

When feelings have been cruel to us

Why do we remember things

When memories are nothing but painful

Why do we search for a glance

When we know they are not near anymore 


Why, why and why?


I guess because that's what makes us human

The joy and the pain

The laughter and the tears

The moments together and the memories apart

The beautiful companionship and the haunting loneliness

The belongingness and the longings

The touch and the emptiness

The fleeting presence

And the lasting absence

Delirium

                                                            Delirium Would you like to know? What does it feel like? When you are a prisoner of your mind? And subject to its confabulated pranks To wander aimlessly in your memory land In an eternal state of existential crisis Stuck in the twilight zone Between consciousness and unconsciousness Questioning each moment Wait, is it really mine? How do I know that? What is real, what is not? Do you know what it’s like to wonder? Minute after minute, hour after hour Are the voices you hear really being spoken? And the touch you feel? Is it really there? Is the ocean just a reflection of the sky? With the endless azure blue? Are those Angels I see? With the brilliant white and the golden halo? Questions, Questions, Questions ...

The Undisputed Master of Courtroom Thrillers

John Grisham is as good as he is prolific. His numerous foray into the world of courtroom thrillers and beyond have filled up many bookracks. But, thankfully he hasn't compromised the quality of his writing. Year after year, he continues to deliver excellent courtroom thrillers, tying it up with vivid tales of corrupt institutions, corporate greed and the vices of law practices to which any reader would have been happily unaware. Although his first book, A Time to Kill wasn't popular initially, his next novel The Firm brought him worldwide recognition. And finally, his previous works also got the attention they deserved.  Each and every novel of John Grisham are undoubtedly the benchmarks in the genre, but today I'd like to pick my favourite and gush over it a little. Although it is very difficult to single out his best novel from the likes of The Firm, The Partner, The Pelican Brief, A Time to Kill , and so on,  I have picked a favourite. It's The Rainmaker.

Annihilation

                                                                 Annihilation Born through war But brought up in peace An irony in itself I am  a study in contrasts And, I can’t figure out myself A bomb about to go off Or a relic worth only in memory Still, I try I try to be one of the crowd. I try to be a cogwheel in the machination of life But every time, something haunts me From the past, for the future Pulling me back to the whirlwind of thoughts And I can’t escape   And I wonder, Maybe, it’s not so bad To be annihilated in memory At least, my future would be settled Cause, there will be no future.     Enable Ginger Cannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection or reload the browser Disable in this text field Edit Edit in ...
