Days

Is it me or days are actually sprinting by

with every shave of my unpopular beard

I am counting two weeks in my fingers

but standing still,with the week ahead in hand

and the same old Cup of TEA,

with every sip, a sunken realization of a sickening rut

Pages of reading and comprehending

with every chapter ending,

leading to the inception of another

and by the time its twilight in the Evening

I realize I've bought more than half of my day

but the drill remains the same

hackneyed by its mandatory communal strength

proven to be efficient that way

no matter how much dehydrating it gets

in the midst of chores and its inane monotony

there goes another day.....

Rubble

"You have reached the farthest point,

Of your endeavours

Manipulating your conscience and cremating amity

How was this sparkling joyful journey?

How do you post yourself up on the chart board?

You are enlightened with all your fears

The fear of a self loathing enigma

And the conquest of your own darkness over yourself

By now you must be fathoming your blunder, because now

It’s apparent to you

Hear it out...! It’s the incubus of your inner goblin

Playing mayhem

And you’re turning into this docile crumb of an element,

Consumed By your intuition,

Soon to be perished to nothingness... and I’m afraid

You’ve missed the only way out long before ... Compassion"

Long Distance Usual

Its been just over 2 weeks that my girlfriend has left my town for pursuing her higher studies. She went to college that has its name mentioned in the premier list of art colleges. Not that there is an "official List", but its a word of everyone's mouth. Some of my friends were actually kind of worried about me as to whether I'd be able to take her absence and bear the emptiness, and most importantly the insecurity of my paramour falling in the grasp of an alpha. Well..of all their concerns, I was least worried about the last one... one of the major reasons for which was that she chose for a girl's college and besides that, we have gone down way too far with each other (not that we're planning baby names but then in time.. !) so the thought of a second option is far beyond the horizon.
However, its not been too easy either. My problem is too practical to let any soft and gooey emotions seep in. Increasing mobile bills leading to lack of requisite communication is turning out to be a disturbing itch. But then i figured that we have to go through this like any other couple. I used to find Skype talk a little lame but now its my Savior.We do our best talking there amongst all the background noise and occasional feedback and line cuts due to our god speed internet. However, what's occupying her and me to some level is our studies. My exams are at my doorsteps and she has a gigantic curriculum with loads of research work to do. The only thing that keeps us going fine is looking forward to the holidays, where we can make the best out of the limited number of days.

Anyway, my point here is that it is completely up to us to maintain a long distance relationship. It can work out just as fine as it would otherwise. The level of understanding needs to be as clear as a mountain brook. The problem is, people take up a negative stance in the first place. Optimism is bliss in this case. One of my dear friends told me once that Long distance doesn't work out at any cost.. but well I do believe at 1500 Rupees a month it can work out pretty fine. It is working wonders for me at least. If you think of a breach, the breach will come and haunt you. I decided to stay chilled and eager, eager to see her more and more as time for holidays is just around the corner...
