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..! :)

OD

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..

The Suicide

Ashrith — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:12:43 +0000

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…

“Re-genesis”

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!!
