The Co Passenger



It was known that my end was drawing near. It was known that following a few more sunsets, the succeeding sunrise wouldn’t be lucky enough to have a glimpse of my face when my feet would be striving to attain a state of perfection in health on the sands of the beach. But contentment is something alien to the world of today- the same world that had at one point of time found happiness in what was available and what was within reach. My eyes, that were a window to truth and reality seemed to lose interest in assisting me to distinguish between the two contrasting worlds of eternal truth and eternal falsification. A surgery was demanded and that too in a far off land, crossing the seas.

Happy Birthday to My Friend




Life, a confluence of feelings and emotions, bundled together in an intricate and complex way which even the Almighty might find difficult to recreate does halt at times. Everything appears blank. Voices seem to speak from nowhere. The path to be followed appears to have not been laid out. In short, life comes to a standstill and an illusion, which might be a reality with equal probability; that the end of the last chapter of the book- life has been reached gets deeply rooted in the fragile ocean of memories, destructible even with the slightest jerk.
