Time

The seconds tick by,

Taking along the minutes and hours,

The days and weeks

The months fly by and the years follow

We age with time,

Living our lives

Making our memories on which to live by

Time is precious that we know

Yet why is it that we treasure it not?

My 2-cents worth: Anything has been passed off as the "future" in the movie. Special effects and random shit has been shown under the guise of the "future". Harman Baweja can't act to save his life!

A short love story

It was a cool-wet monsoon morning. He stood in his towel, his hair dripping from his shower. The morning sun shone on the sleeping figure. As the sun rays hit her face she murmured and rolled to the other side hiding her face. A smile played on his face as he watched her.

Half an hour later he stood dressed for work. Taking a final look in the mirror he walked over to the bed. His brown eyes twinkling with mischief he bent over and kissed her slightly parted lips lightly. She smiled in her sleep and pulled him close. Prying open her sleep laden eyes she kissed him back.

“I’m off to the office darling. You go back to sleep. I’ll see you at home in the evening.”

Holding him tight she sat up in the bed. She then instructed him to stand by the door where she could get a good look at him.

“You look very handsome baby. Don’t break too many hearts today” she said with a grin on her face.

He chuckled as he walked back to her and held her in a tight embrace. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. Glowing with the happiness only true love could bring she sat back on the bed watching his retreating back. As the last of him disappeared from her sight she went back to bed thinking how lucky she was to be married to her true love.

Which is my final flame?

I chase after something,
I achieve it.
I wonder if there is something else I should chase.
I start chasing again.
Am I crazy to leave everything for something I don't know?
What lies shrouded in mystery, in the veil of unknown?
Will it be good or will I great my sacrifice?
I know not,
Yet I gravitate like a moth to a flame.
Though I know not which is my final flame.


It is said being satisfied in life is akin to saying no to anything else out there. It may be worse or better than what you have.

How wise is it then to sit back and be content with what you have?
Does the curiosity of what is out there, waiting for you fill your mind? Should you let it fill your mind and stop you from enjoying what you already have?


The human psyche is simply too complex for anyone to comprehend fully. It is an enigma that intrigues me and forces me to think. It makes me ponder and search for answers. Alas I think my quest for these answers is one with no end in sight.
