the book that got stuck at chapter seven

he looked back at all the happiness shared, and he relaxed. it was no longer a numbers game, nor was it a game to win or lose. things are just things, and some happen for a reason and others for less than a proper one, but that's that. in retrospect, if being floored a few times (make that 1000x) meant that the memories could be kept as his own, then it was worth it. even so, seven chapters were enough to make people experience all sorts of things, and revising them would be a nightmare that he'd welcome.

when interviewed, he said: "failure to do everything 100% as i was, and to be as close to chakra as i could didn't make me lose hope, it made me hungrier for the next adventure, and the next incarnation of grit that will emerge from the ashes of any burnt out paperback. it is not easy to pick oneself up every time life, if you care to be narcissistic, seems to throw everything it has got (evidently not enough) to make one weary, to be driven to the edge of insanity, but that didn't stop anyone i know, nor will it to a digital coding core that has enjoyed many successes in recording happiness. i can handle the valleys and i will strive for the peaks."

when asked about his fears, that it could all end in an instance, that everything could fall apart, he was resolute.

"anything else is a lie. that i will give up on myself is impossible. not yet. i still have to become better than most.. i have an idea. i am an idea. read me as i am, or let me die trying."

so it shall be! in between the popular and critical, what a shame..

what's that orange doing being an apple?

i saw the thing there just today, being an apple when it was an orange. i mean, what's worse than that! it always scored high in flavour, vitamins and pulpy goodness, why did it want to deviate from that. in contrast, an apple is known to be crunchy, refreshing and filling, but that is not its destiny to choose..

then it hit me, that actually that's natural selection right there! an orange tries to be an apple because an apple represents everything that's beautiful, and an orange wants to be more than the sum of its pulps. it wanted to improve itself, and in the course of doing so, the orange went pear shape. it was not yet crunchy, but hey that's life of a fruit, short and sweet! and in the stomachs of those who eat.

obsessions made by artificial stimulants

these rascals should have known better,

that ideas were only beginnings,

not the end of stories,

that the journeys in between are priceless,

that we will not relent for the short paths..

please do not misunderstand me,

in light of a fading obsession,

that your beauty is insufficient,

that you should feel lesser in spite,

for those thoughts simply aren't true,

and hateful if you thought so.

we miss so many things,

and long for love in many journeys,

but life is all about choices,

a social judgment of what we do,

regardless of thoughts.

lets leave divinity's test till the end,

and forget that labels mean anything,

for if love was supposed to be reckless to your heart,

for if labels were supposed to hold meaning,

then it never be the time of the hour.
