My precise words were "Say eeeeeeeeeeeeeee"!!
And now for a breath of fresh air after my depressing suicidal poetry! :P Ran into these kids at Hampi. Initially they posed reluctantly, standing stiff. After some coaxing and joking around, they finally loosened up and gave me these blockbuster smiles way beyond my expectation! Absolutely beautiful..! :)
Death’s cold fingers
Seem to beckon me
And I’m not surprised..
Lungfuls of smoke
Don’t quell no pain
Mary Jane in my blood
Does nothing to refrain..
Yes I’m high on the adrenaline
As I stand on the ledge
A step from the end
Driven to the edge
Yes I’m high
But no narcotic should get the blame
You think I’m fucked??
Too bad, we’re all fucked the same..
Disillusioned by the world
Disdained by the conscience
Self-doubt creeps in
A mind-numbing obscurity
Comfortably Numb
Yet far from so
A self-imposed predicament
Yet…Inevitable
A Chopsuey of emotions
The burdens seem unbearable
Atlas wants to shrug at last
Elsewhere Jeremy has had enough
He wants to speak in class
The mind is sober
Yet drunk on delusions
A Purple Haze descends upon him
A psychedelic kaleidoscope
Of images and memories
Yet his eyes perceive
Only the darkness
No need for sympathy
Too late for concern
White noise in the ears
As Cobain screams Teen Spirit
Time seems to stand still
And yet it seems to run out
All the time in the world
Yet none left to spend
A bullet to the brain
Hole in the soul
The show’s over
The skin is cold
While Morrison croons This is the End…
So after a prolonged hiatus from blogging, I stage a comeback of sorts. Reason? Not a case of ‘my cup runneth over’ with an overwhelming surge of creativity. Definitely not. Some kind of ‘copycat syndrome’ to emulate other people with blogs? Perhaps! But more specifically it’s a primal urge that we, the primates on the supposed civilized end of the spectrum, haven’t quite been able to rid ourselves of. We are ,quite simply put, attention whores. Not some of us. Not many of us. All of us! We all crave attention. And this affliction, if I may call it that, is more widespread now than ever. And the 3 guys who thought of YouTube were friggin’ geniuses! It’s a simple formula if u think about it though: millions of attention whores + hundreds of millions of voyeurs and voila! Who doesn’t enjoy an innocent peek at what other people are up to? And who can forget a certain Mr.Mark Zuckerberg who made billions because he trusted all of us voyeurs and attention whores to do what we do best!
As for my blog. Hello voyeurs!!
