Inside My Gemini Mind!

People in my friends and family circle have, on multiple occasions, called me out for my randomness. And honestly, they have a point.

Every morning, as we sip on our tea and talk about the most grounded things like, what’s for breakfast, whether we have enough groceries, or if we need anything for the month, I suddenly derail the conversation with, “Is there an RCB match today?”

That’s the thing. My brain often operates like 20 tabs open on incognito mode, and none of them are related. Occasionally, there’s a vague connection between what I say and what we’re discussing... but more often than not, my train of thought has no tracks. It just takes off like a rogue rocket.

Now here’s the best way I can describe it:

Whether it is a personal experience or a universal one, I am not sure, but poetry is something I like doing. If I do not write poems at least once a week, I am diabetic and I need to take my medicines after every meal, but my salary is not much, and I like going on a Northeast tour once in my life, and oops, I spilled the milk. I always forget that the gas stove was on a low flame. Oh, gone are the days I played FLAMES. There's a Flames University, maybe they all play it there. Well, chuck it. Where was I?

This is how I would sound in my head. Also, there's a cat GIF downloaded in my brain that's making me giggle mindlessly all the time.

See what I mean?

It’s a beautiful mess up there. A chaotic, poetic, slightly unhinged internal monologue that somehow manages to keep life interesting, for me and everyone within a 10-foot radius.

Waiting for a miracle

The mirage isn’t real, the moon isn’t near, the hope, probably feeble, and life, certainly terse. A verse, has to be written to tell a story. Because this fairy tale, is getting gory. You wished for a smile, and walked through the isle, you wished for the reveries to come true. A fine friend, you expected. A flawed foe, and a marred knot, you got. While I hopefully craved for the dawn, you eclipsed into despair with a resentful scorn. Emotions began to take turns on the weighing scale. My pains versus yours, versus our trust getting frail. Giving up may not be your forte, and winning may not be mine. Deprived and devoid of love, we live together, waiting for tides to change, waiting for a sign from Above, waiting for the impossible, waiting for a miracle.

Where’s the Middle Ground?

If you are a middle-class man and married recently, there must be an incessant turmoil going on in your mind. You must be thinking, “why me?” There were times when nobody cared what you did, or said. But now, after you are married, everyone questions your decisions and actions (even inactions). You are blamed for posing a “changed” (read, spoilt ) behaviour and it is basically not you – it's because of YOUR WIFE, who has drastically changed you as per her convenience and necessities, just because you are like clay in your thirties. Anybody can manipulate you and make you their slave, right? That’s the intention of every marriage – to enslave all of “Man” kind. The mother-sister combo tries that for a particular period with all their love. To some extent they succeed without any resistance from you. Because, you too love them back equally for everything they did to you, right from your birth till your marriage. Now that you have become their most prized possession, it is nearl...
