Surrender…enjoy the scenery!

I have a knack for doing the exact opposite of what i have been told. So when told not to rush through it I did, when advised against focusing on reaching the peak i did, and when told to watch the sunrise i slept through it. Yes, I climbed Mt Sinai gave up after five hours of strenuous physical activity…

Breaking News!

This just in: Egypt is declared a logic-free country. Scientists claim it’s a grave condition and that it is highly unlikely to resolve soon. Civilians are advised to take extreme caution when dealing with one another. It is highly contagious and anyone could be a carrier of that dangerous disease without showing any symptoms unless engaged in a serious discussion.…

A heart for sale!

My heart is for sale. It’s been used, abused and torn apart. It has scars, bruises and stretch marks. It’s been blown, pierced and stepped upon. It has track marks, clots and paint. It has remains of others’ hearts. It is been patched and stitched but is functioning just fine. All the bruises make it hard to breathe sometimes but…

On defeat

I don’t understand the process and I don’t accept the repercussions. I don’t believe I should give in to the circumstances at hand and I don’t believe in surrendering to abhorrent facts. I don’t accept that a chosen few worthless lunatics should rule over the world. Perhaps not the world…but my small little world. The one I have chosen for…

My life with you

Someday, maybe not far away, I will hold your hand and we will walk through the meadow and wind will blow our hair. Someday, maybe not far away, I will hold your hand and browse through tons of books in random bookstores in that busy yet small town of our own. Someday, not far away, we will hold hands and push a pram through…

I renounce that myth!

Although I was the person who always over expressed and reflected upon every bit of emotion, although my heart ache was always a well of inspiration, except that it is different now, it is different today. Although lately the theme of my life seems to be about loss and uncertainty except that it is different now and different today. So…

Stray

We all want to live that G-rated life; to act like children in Disneyland. But the truth is we are all darkness. And the brilliance and magnificence all lie in that darkness; in secretly hating your parents; in secretly envying your friends or secretly judging your partner. Darkness in lusting over people that you are not supposed to. In advocating…

What is to become of that boy?

I know I will provoke most of you and will probably get no one on my side; but bear with me. Yesterday; feeling incredibly bored and really wanting to go out on a Friday evening, also, now that we are blessed with a curfew-less weekend; I thought I will go have a walk by the Nile. Spending all my life…

One!

My mother renews my faith in everything. She has that power over me and is capable of turning black into white. Even the darkest thoughts get sorted out. It took me years to understand it. It is myself that I see when I look at her and it is her I see within me.  Had I known that earlier, I wouldn’t have…

enigma

There is a certain beauty about uncertainty, a mystical theme to life. You don’t know where your path is leading you or who your companions will be. It is like painting your own world. You choose a colour, a theme and an accompanying ballad. There is genius behind not knowing your fate. You might just end up anywhere. You might…
