Threads


There exists a thread between you and me.

It's very strong and resilient.
It has weathered misbehavior.
It has tolerated selfishness.

It has snagged in other places and yet continued to exist.
It has knotted up and become a holy mess.
Some threads are fraying with age.

Ah! But none of this has detracted from its strength.

It is much less flexible, but it's pull is strong.
It's no longer smooth and silky, but it binds us tight.

But a time shall come when you will finally snap this thread...
How will you do it then my love?
Shall it be a single vicious stroke that cuts the thread?
Or will you saw through it strand by strand?

What will be more agonizing? The wrench of you thrusting me away suddenly or the knowledge that you are separating us slowly but steadily?

I don't know my love what shall be easier for me, but you be sure to do what's easier for you.

I don't know my love how I will bear the loss when it comes, but you be sure that you cut through each strand.

I don't know my love what I shall do with my half of our thread, but you be sure that you destroy yours.

I don't know my love how often I shall caress my half of our thread, but you be sure to weave a new one.

I don't know my love how often I shall wrap around my body, my half of our thread, but you be sure to share your new one.

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...

Gehraaiyan

  Gehraiyaan This is one of the first hindi movies I have enjoyed in a long while, and that is because it is pure entertainment. I watched it and I liked it and I didn't try and explore its morality or the why's and wherefores. It might never become a cult classic like others in its genre, namely Silsila, Masoom, Arth or even Pati patni aur woh, but it is a decent watch. Fidelity is a state of the mind and even a golden oldie like Navrang addressed it as such. Putting that aside, this movie belongs to Deepika Padukone all the way. But, ah the dashing and devious devil, Siddhant Chaturvedi makes a mark too. Deepika/Alisha is a conflicted individual, whose backstory is relayed to us in bits and pieces. The irony is that, her perception of everything is colored by her version of the truth. Watch how she takes pictures and then crops them. That's a peak in to her state of mind. She tries to err on the safe side always, and it reflects in her choice of life partner even. Her cou...

Silent Bystanders. ....

At times one sees people behaving in the most despicable way and one itches to say something. I witnessed such a wrong being perpetrated today and to my utter shame I just stood by and then later mutely walked away. Yes, there were others present and yes someone else could have said something. But none of us did. And neither did I. Exactly what is it that held me back? Maybe the thought that this wasn't my fight or the fact that I wanted to have no rep ercussions coming my way...... Whatever....... I didn't take a stand and I could have..... It's a shame I shall cart around for a while.... I wish I could turn back time, but I can't and knowing that so well today could possibly make me more stronger ahead.... Maybe......
