Going down the memory lane
Going down the memory lane
Going down the memory lane, there is so much ive been thru
All I ask myself now is, was that really me?
With so much happening around
And accepting the non acceptable
Struggling to keep up with the pace
And yet not lose myself
I ask myself again,
Is this really me?
Forever inscribed in me,
Is what I have learnt today.
To part with it or live with it
Is the question I ask myself?
Cold shoulder and bitter words were unknown to me
Is it all apart of me now
I ask myself again
Mercy, compassion, forgiveness
Was a part of my soul
Is a part of me dead?
I question myself yet again
Respect and oneness is what I believed in
Then why is it that I plead for solitude today
I ask myself
Life isn’t all that bad
Like everyone around says
I still have so many complaints
Is the sky above falling apart
Or have I jus noticed it today?
Was this always a part of me
Or have I just woken up today
Till when will i stay still,
On the shattered mirror image
Blind to what I see,
Numb to what i feel
Deaf and reactionless.
When is it going to break
I dread that moment
I dread it horribly
But I knw it will rain,
Rain for the benefit of all
Rain to wash away everythin
Rain so hard
To take me along,
Somewhere along the memory lane
Where we shall meet again

What to say?
After much persuation and finally getting my cozy butt off my bed, thought I'd finally step into this part of the world and see what's it all about! Well initially I always thought, why would anyone be interested to know what's my perspective on different issues and what I think. But after coming down to Manipal and being here for 2 years now, it seems like knowing what people think and feel, gets you going on a different level all together.
I dont know if I'm making sense, but it's like you can either come on to common terms or either debate about an issue forever. For me especially being brought up in such a protected and tension free background, life here is just completely different. Never having encountered poverty, knowing nothing about India's politial or religious state and coming down to India once a year, unaware of a social circle or any such compliance, life here is quite mechanical now. I dont know if it's the country or the journalist in making or both together, Manipal has showed me what's atleast I call, 1/4th of 'REALITY'. Living a sterotype life and living in ignorance, is like not living at all. Though we do , most of us do, we know it all, we know what's happening out there, feel for a moment or two and then what next.. Some of them do something and try and make a difference, the others speak and feel truly but dont do anything at all and get back to the same flow. ( I belong to the others category:P)
Shifting tracks from all those muffled up thoughts, for the next upcoming blog posts you will get to experience my liking for authentic and what I call ' EXQUISITE' food and all about imagining that kind of a meal, my crazy photo post which I click when Im supposedly trying to be all artistic, Random thoughts and weird ass questions which never seem to have an answer and much more.
