He was in his twenties; most of his generation was such Like most others, he too was haunted by a dreary specter, a dark void That sinking feeling of not knowing what to do with your life It gripped him, day in, day out; like clockwork it was As he boarded the morning metro, the … Continue reading Answers
The Journey
It was a ritual for him, for the past one year or so Waiting for the morning train; which ever came at his time Hanging on the footboard of the train made him feel like a daredevil The sights were all familiar, but they never ceased to amuse him The hawkers carrying their wares for … Continue reading The Journey
From Hell to Purgatory

Graveyard Shift
Awake stays the nocturnal animal
Gazing fixatedly at a screen he has no interest in
But gazing at the screen is his job; a paycheck he earns for that
Boredom haunts the mansion of his mind; he knows why
But no recourse is there for the boredom to be exorcised; he knows not why
He would wish to find out a way; out of boredom’s reach
“0”, flashed the number on the screen; the number of errors encountered
There was a time that the number was anything but zero
But ages have passed since that time; he would know
A part of his mind wished for something to break, an excuse if you will
Anything, anything to put boredom in it’s place
A stern warning, a mighty blow, a fair putdown; anything
Awake stays the nocturnal animal
Typing out the report for the day, for there will always be reports
