Noise In My Head

Probably it is the beauty of Calcutta that makes Dukkhobilash your favorite night routine!

I've been sleepless for almost 2 weeks now, felt restless, anxious and spent hours thinking of random things like how much space would be free-ed up if the book shelf is moved from left to right (yes!).

I've visited old memory corners of my mind and heart, tried to explicitly visit only the happy lanes and avoided the sad ones (both literally and figuratively). The subtle office pressure is also not helping.

Add the rush of Obhimaan that Calcutta brings in my heart! Whys and Why Nots and Why Me-s, ghosts of pasts, personality traits that I should have changed, words that I should have said better, people I should not have met, souls I should not have assumed mates. Whirlwind of thoughts, night after night! And then there are happy sappy people, happy sappy lives, happy sappy photos!!! 

Baadh Shedho Na Bondhu!!!!

Tobe Tai Hok :)

Repeat





A storm inside
A struggling Yacht.
The sails tearing,
The sailor wearing,
Don't call for help!
Must not abort.

            A hurricane outside,
            A struggling Jeep,
            You're heavy!
            You're demanding!
            Figure your own rescue!
            Must, now, leap

So bring out the smile,
Tears are for the closed doors to keep;
No one understands,
Do not talk so deep.

            Shout, write, hide,
            Repeat.
            Shout, write, hide,
            Repeat
