<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sunday night is an imposter,</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The kind that writers wearing bandanas foster.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sunday night's when writers don't work,</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Yet you find yourself blinded by the blue light,</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Of your computer screen, bandana on nightstand,</span></div>

Hello again it's you and me,<br />
coffee for you and words for me.<br />
Fresh paint on my walls and a thousand stories,<br />
Of ups and downs and flailing glory.<br />
A nervous laugh and you tell me,<br />
Of childhood ghosts and new found fears.<br />
On reckless nights down we go,<br />
Opening ourselves and mixing tears.<br />
But now our time is done ,<br />
we go into life and oblivion .<br />
<br />
In this moment , if we chose to stay,<br />
We'll build our bridges and barricades.<br />
Time and place won't mean a thing,<br />
A thousand years or decades.<br />
That was there time, this is our place.<br />
We won't be lost cuz we've been saved.<br />
<br />
Hello again, it's you and me,<br />
kinda how it used to be.<br />
Been so long since you've seen me,<br />
I've got new stories and new memories.<br />
So pick one gem hanging in the air ,<br />
as we go into conversation.<br />
Sailing uncharted waters ,<br />
of our begginings and our ends.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If Van Gogh were alive today,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He wold sell socks on the pavement.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We would steal his paints and replace them with a begging bowl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We would take his brushes,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And replace them with books.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Books of science and mathematics and instructions ,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On how to be a contributing member of society.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And then we'd say' Paint us something, you're the painter man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do your job anyway?'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">'Not in wavy colours! Paint in black and grey !'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He'd run away with his oranges too a far off field,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And we'd laugh into his hazy eyes, as he'd scream colour from his veins.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We'd pelt his eyes with stones on starry nights.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We'd burn gardens of his almond blossoms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We'd make sure he never touched canvas with colour.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He would beg on the streets for kind words and for food.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And we would spit in his bowl (which we gave him) and his art books.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We would never buy the socks he sold,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Or the dreams that died with him in blood cold.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If Van Gogh lived today,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He would still cut his ear,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And we wouldn't shed a damn tear.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I want to write poems in fountain pen ink,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Hazy purple, on yellowed pages,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On the back of a novel, unopened for ages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But I can't make a mark,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On this blue screen of computer bark.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to buy a guitar from that old pawn shop,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the old part of town, with a tea stained table top.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They tell me at the store,"Gone are the blues and bebop!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I buy myself today's harp-the latest laptop.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used to buy Rubik's cubes from an old Parsi shop in Bombay,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But the mall there now sells cubes with fifty four pieces of gray.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I try to meet the changing times halfway,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And buy my food in predigested sachets!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To eat out is in, cooking with calories is a sin!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To kill language to save a few seconds is #hip,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But you better spend hours to find the filter to hide that melanin.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like the cubes, all is gray in this township.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sitting in this colour blind sink,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to write poems in fountain pen ink,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Hazy purple , on yellowed pages,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On the back of a novel, unread for ages.</span><br />

/*maroon is a combination of red and blue*/<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He wakes from maroon dreams,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Into a world of summer autumn colour schemes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The maroon man with his myriad moods,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At schemes ,chuckles, smirks,laughs and broods.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Red from blood once flowing,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From skin covering secret scars,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That now radiant and lambent are glowing,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like battle scars on old guitars.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Blue from a music of oppressed art,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Blue borrowed scent, blue love and blue heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And somewhere Bukowski is sounding a rebel yell,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">'Love......love is a dog from hell.'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As his eyes crave the sepia tint of nostalgia,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Blue and red blend , overpowering melancholia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hail muse! As nocturne sea brings foam to shore,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As maroon distills into purity from its ore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">City moves in chemically somnambulistic steps,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As poets of buildings large and small perplex.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Between these lines of cathartic ink,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maroon turns into crimson,magenta or even pink.</span><br />

/* I can't even start on the inevitability of change. It is going to happen , yet we cling to the familiar. Like a comforting summer in the middle of winter. This is not an uncommon euphemism on this blog, and it refers to porcupine tree and Albert Camus at the same time ( yeah, that's some combination) . But that is perhaps the only answer to change. Time flies, and the best that you can do is take whatever comes to you , cherish it and then let it go. If we weren't specks of dust in cosmic sand, perhaps the summers would last for ever, but that is not the case. All we can do is make good memories and let them guide us through the unfamiliar, unpredictable future.If you've had to say goodbye to good friends you know what I mean (and that's why I wrote this ). D<span style="color: #212121; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">ans les profondeurs de l'hiver je l'ai trouvé un été invincible as Camus should say .... that summer within , that's where time stands still.</span> */<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">If for every path not taken</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a parallel universe,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">For very chorus heard</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a silent verse.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">City moves in maddening chaos,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we get lost in crowds and its throes,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Searching for a blindfold to pathos ,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not once looking to the undertows.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The moments between phone rings,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The poetry despite the text message blur,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The mindful breaths between desperate pangs,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Is when air becomes breath.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pauses before punch lines,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The loud note and then the softer,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elegant strokes of blank canvas,</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Amidst splashes of colour.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">/* So this one is about the virtues of silence and minimalism. I think in the fast and chaotic world we find ourselves in , the few moments of silence and poignant observation are rather amiss and rare. Great work of art always have paid attention to this idea. How many notes does BB King have to play to say what he wants to say and how many words does Hemingway have to write to convey all the horrors of war? I think we could all benefit from a few moments of silence and reserve in a world full of noise and chaos. Of course , too much of silence can never be a good thing, but given how fast and loud modern life has become , it is always great when art remind us to take a moment and just observe.*/</span></div>

Humans have had problems since the dawn of time , but how we deal with them is what shows the strength of our character. And I just don't see it that often. The diseased state of coping skills is concerning to say the last. And of course those of us who have managed to achieve some semblance of peace and balance have no choice but to bubble wrap our hearts , even though these deliciously dark individuals may be the most interesting thing we've ever seen and as much as they remind us of our unevolved selves. Perhaps our educational curriculum could teach a little more about how should one handle life and not just random facts to write in an exam.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">/* So I’ve been reading Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis, the
basis of Fear of a Blank Planet. And I have to say there is just way too much
narcissism in this internet generation of ours. We know longer try to be
ourselves , we just do good impressions of our virtual lives ( a recurring
motif in Lunar Park). So I wondered what would Narcissus do today, and I
figured his pool would be this online world of today. I hope our generation is
wiser than Narcissus. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Granted the internet has done so much good ( like bringing you this poem :P) , but on the whole think about the implications on social skills and language. Everything has to be condensed into 124 characters and selfies are the new self portrait. I think somewhere art has been lost in the process.</span><br />

Often we seem to forget what the human condition is all about living in this make believe world of social media and materialism. There is a wonderful concept in medical literature that disease itself is a metaphor. For instance cancer is considered as an alter ego or the varied uses of the word ' plague '. I guess seeing humanity in the rough , reminds us of how much we can do as the fortunate ones and makes us give up arm-chair cynicism.

/* So, this one is about how there really isn’t much of a
right or wrong in most things and how almost everything is ultimately
circumstantial. There are varying sides to all of us. Some prefer to call a particular
side good and a particular side bad. But, ultimately everything does boil down
to circumstance. If you believe in the traditional concept of good and evil, I
guess there is a little of both in all of us (like shown so wonderfully in the
pictures by friend Mukund, thanks mate for lending your pictures to this blog.Check out some of his stuff here <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MPaiPhotography?_rdr=p">https://www.facebook.com/MPaiPhoto</a>).
I think any attempts to jump at generalizations on as to what is good and bad
is but a silly attempt by us humans to make some sense of all this existential
meaninglessness .*/</div>

So what can I say about this one, if you read through this blog chronologically you will find posts drenched in existential angst gradually giving way to a sort of stable plateau of well... i don't know ... melancholy , acceptance , happiness ... call it what you will. But that is what this one is about. Its about coming up for air after facing all those truths that Nietzsche or Sartre would tell us about ( would that be Camus or Proust ?) . Fact is we are so lucky to have human form, after all those years of evolution , and random mutations carbon molecules have evolved to give us this form of life. And I hope you don't see beauty in that .But as far as I go , I love this breath of fresh air. */</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Any one who knows me , or has been reading this blog would know that the first thing to hit me when I think of trains is Steven Wilson/Ptree/In Absentia. Also the idea of travelling bluesmen (especially like good ol' dylan in 'I'm not There') is a very fascinating one to me. And what can I say of them blues? Like BB King says ' a baby cries cuz the baby got the blues ! ' Guess we all need to strum that shuffle once in a while , to the rhythm of the sixty ton angel, falling to the earth.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The manic road meets the frenzied sky,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">As words in indelible ink sprawl the sunset,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like the most beautiful evening,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of the ones from childhood’s treasury.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The manic road is long gone,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet it appears in my dreams,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">To wake me in cold sweat,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">To remind me of all that frenzy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">So to the manic road I have returned,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">And sped down it ,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">To the point of no return,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now sleep does not break in cold sweat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The manic road now runs within me,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Showing me how to walk other
roads,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">As for words sprawled in indelible ink,</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some words cannot be erased.</span><br />
