Sit down and listen to me a little.


You know these crime games that people are playing. Those booze shambles that lead to unforgivable acts of evil. That rotten, mis-constructed thought that pulls your body like a puppet on a thread. This era of madness and agony that fails to please the human mind and dares to be the unholy. Yes, you know of them.

And you very well know the brain that resides on the top floor of your body and know that it's responsible for everything that you ever do. You realise that sometimes, it turns it's ear towards white noise. The many times that you let your body float through the daily shenanigans, avoiding sight, excusing yourself from the tourists that we all call truth, love.

You feel ashamed, disgusted or even helpless. But then you forget. 'Cause it's just a phase of recall, a source of distraction because oh! so much of storage capacity. The powerful brain, the evil brain, the intelligent brain, the dirty brain, the lonely brain, the creative brain, the useless brain, the snappy brain, the clever brain, the brain that is sometimes just one person, sometimes many.

So just listen a little more.

The brain is really close to your eyes, isn't it? Can't you see what is does everyday? Take a pill and lie down. And when you lie down, close your eyes. And let those eyes pop inwards and float around in your skull. You know where the brain is, make them follow the veins that network the body. The brain is up to something mischievous. Look, it's playing with your memories right now. Mixing, mashing, creating a semi solid product of misery. Hold that right hand and fold it backwards and put the left one up. And now slowly, the hand takes a plunge into a river of floating memories. Some are really light, it sees them whole. Some lie half submerged, unable to finish their stories. Some cease to exist because buoyancy is off for lunch. And from whatever it can make sense from, the left hand of your dear brain tries to fix them, like an unresolved puzzle. Sometimes creating a vivid portrait of happiness. Sometimes forming a holocaust of sorts.

After a while, you let the left arm down and wake up instantly.

Sometimes in shock, sometimes smiling. Sometimes with absolutely nothing at all and just a weird self-created hairstyle. Everyday, these brains in our separate bodies create an imagery that is unresolved, mysterious. Some brains treat this mystery like the very word. Trying to find the world, maybe more. Some brains treat it like an omen. Staying away from the world. Some, like a game. Challenging the world. And some brains treat this mystery like an opportunity to enter banned hallways in our beautiful world. Hence, the many brains that we talked about in the third paragraph.

Thank you for listening.

The Chronicles of Genius Rabbit: Psychopath gone sober

“Whose balls do I have to break to get some cabbage around here?” Genius Rabbit wasn’t this perturbed usually but his mind was kind of fucked greatly because of the current case he was handling. It was something he had not dealt with since the time Book Worm had lost his memory after the 9/11 attacks. It took him almost an hour to treat him. To make him remind of the many tigers he had killed in his lost state. This case was different although. Not because the victim and the culprit were the same but because the victim and the culprit were avid television watchers. A person so addicted to the world of television is not fooled by the whims and fancies of the real world. The victim and the culprit was Psychopath George. In an attempt to take revenge from his long-time rival Happy Fred, Psychopath George had accidently fallen prey to his kindness. Why was this bad? This was bad because Happy Fred was one of the top criminals of Mount Paramount Pictures. “Here you are, sir.” The giraffe wh...

WHAMBAY! 2: Lost in transition

‘Na jee paaoge, na jaa paaoge…’ Another year in Mumbai. And boy, has it been another ride. I really did not expect it to be, considering the challenges and experiences I shared in the first blog. But here I am. Writing again. And solely because I want you guys to appreciate the lives of the people from here, people living here, people wanting to live here. What’s the big deal? Why another post? This isn’t anything like a Sacred Games or a Gully Boy, glorifying and fantasising life in Mumbai. This is just more of the same. Hard facts, engagements in real life. And I guess some of you would be interested in it. I got comments and suggestions from people like me, who moved in, about how true I was about whatever I was saying. I had people from here tell me, how they had forgotten about these little things in their process of growing. I had people, who wanted to come here, get freaked about the ways of living and surviving in this city. So, let me go further into narration and tel...

'Choose your elf' by Any Man

Look… If you had… One short… One really puny… To bring everything you ever wanted… In one moment. Would you choose it? Or just get a grip? Yo… His palms are small, knee-high, his arms are steady There's service in this weather already, tom’s machete He's frivolous, but like a surfer he looks calm and ready To drop you home, but he keeps on forgettin' What he brought down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his bag, but the gifts won't come out He's jokin', how, everybody's freakin' now The clocks run out, times up, over, ciao! Snap back to reality, oh there goes clarity, oh, there goes habit, you know, you’re so bad, but you won't, give up that easy, no, you won't have it, you knows the whole city's lost hope, it don't matter, you’re broke, he knows that, but he's forced, he's so scared that he knows, when he goes back to north pole, that's when its back to the dad again, yo, this whole custody. Yo...
