Venus In My Veranda

-

 

Stood on my veranda 

Looked up at the sky

There’s that shiny thing

Shining below moon 


Shines like a star 

Looks so cool

Cool enough to hang 

Hang around with moon

Could I join in too?

Put on my superman cape

Leap towards this boon


Cold air and then no air

I’m flying supersonic

Towards my luminous friends 

Venus and moon.

Dreams are windows into the lives of our Multiversal Selves

-
I’ve recently come to discover that my dreams have been becoming more vivid. I sleep and suddenly I’m unaware that I’m asleep. My brain transforms into a kind of antenna that broadcasts the lives of multiple versions of me from parallel realities. It’s hard to explain but I’ll try anyway. For the last six or so years I’ve been a nocturnal person, my parents are surprised I haven’t yet befriended Bats and Owls. Although there was this one time when a bat took a detour into my face as I was entering through the gates of my house riding my scooter, I know, scary right? Luckily I was wearing my Blue helmet. I felt like Bruce Wayne there for a second. I do wanna become Batman someday, I really do. Someday I’m going to find a Cave, or rather build myself one and then I’m gonna go out in society and say things like “I’m gonna buy this hotel, right here, right now”. Every boy wants to grow up and become Bruce Wayne/Batman. Batman in Chennai wouldn’t be as cool, pretty sure of that. I’ll let yo...

Hypothetical Voodoo

Long I’ve wondered what it would be like for one of my musical heroes, John Mayer, to meet and play with his heroes, two of the world’s greatest musicians who ever lived, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. A family tree of Master Musicians who look up to each other, me being the youngest. So unfortunate that both Jimi and Stevie Ray are no more, having lost their lives at a young age to two very peculiar ways of expiration.  Scientists are ever evolving, finding new ways to manipulate reality to make the world work for themselves in all sorts of ways, our own modern day wizards. This is how time travel and multiversal travel came into existence in my world. Anything is possible now, especially this! Today I will be using science for the sake of creating history, happiness and entertainment. I am going to travel back in time and bring back both Hendrix and SRV. Fans have only dreamt about such a lineup, today this dream will cease to be a dream. Tonight is going to be the gre...

On today's episode of what I preach but don't follow..(note to self: I must follow what I preach)

What is motivation? I could either choose to thoughtlessly copy down some internet definition or I could be honest and actually describe what it feels like to be motivated. I have decided to take the highroad. Now, I am not going to be presumptuous and call myself the most motivated I have ever been, but I’ve had a fair share of being motivated. Every time I’ve had to do something that has involved matters of consequence or otherwise, I’ve always made sure to do my best in order to get to the other side. And how do I get to the other side? With the right amount of “being motivated” or so I think.  I’ve witnessed successful people at conventions being badgered by people about motivation and where it comes from and how to derive it. “How do you do it?”, they keep asking. People are always so curious to make sense of the extraordinary. I don't think motivation is extraordinary at all. I’ve obviously experienced not enough of it, but I know that it works best when you’re doing somethin...
