Still-life travelling

By -
I feel like a time traveler. As if it has been decades,centuries of my existence. Don't mistake it as something haughty, or arrogant or something else. I read about things and i feel that i have been there and absorbed the melodies of those bygone years.
I had been there with Sinatra, and with Morrison, with Axl Rose and his skin tight jeans.
With Sackett, and with Kid Rodelo,I traveled the far blue mountains.
Sipping black coffee,living off the grass, i survived the frontier with strong Irish people.
Passing history as I walk,I feel the pebbles talking, the big oak smiling gently, laughing at my inquisitiveness.
The foreign lands are not so foreign. And the seas have never been so calm.
Soaked in knowledge of past years and people, it feels complete. There is contentment and yet,there is an urge to know more.
Life's ending,one minute at a time.
A subtle hurry it is.

    Going back in time and seeing & being a part of all the incidents that happened long back in time is indeed a quite facinating experience....sometimes, even me, I sit back and imagine myself living in those days with those people, in their tradition with a little bit of modern touch.. ;) ..
    nice post. but i think you should give a slight description of who those people are whom you have mentioned above.. that will be quite helpful.. :p

Whispering heartbeat

In a flash,it changed. The London weather gave way to the sunshine of southern France. That's how life was with her. In an instant she could come and twist and break me with a couple of strange upright non romantic letters. For her eyes bore into mine and melted me in an instant. Lazer eyes melted the soft iron core. But i liked it. I liked the way we would go on talking for hours and the world ceased to exist. Our words intermingled,to form poetry and that's how we would talk then. She is pretty. Those big eyelashes. That kajal smudge,for she used it,and i loved it. And strange as it was,i never knew what hit me until she was no longer there. Yes,in a flash it changed. The sunshine gave way to London weather,had me up in bottles of beer   and an unkempt beard. That's why i write at in the night. What is it now, 1: 20 am? Because he,who loved the light,made darkness his own. And she's all grown up, and the kajal's not so smudgy now. But i long to

Yearly Post II (2016)

1. How would you rate the year on 10?  Umm, like, a 4-5 maybe? 2. Was this year happier or sadder?  I think happier, because of the fact that I went ahead with everything with the hope of not having any regrets later on. 3. Best thing to happen in the year?  I always answer this as people, not things. I think Anusha, I like how she has quite a positive attitude, but it also pretty realistic about stuff. Conversations with her are pretty amazing! 4. The thing you dedicated your time the most?  Work. 5. Did you keep up your yearly resolutions?  "I never make any. I guess i should start now, considering how wayward life presently is." - this was my answer in 2013, I'll stick by this yet again. 6. Best musical discovery?  Indian Indie! Prateek Kuhad, Ankur Tiwari, such inspiring stories and music to surround myself with. 7. What you would've done more of?  Climbed more mountains. 8. What you would've done less of?  Could've been less wasted, but we
