Smaller than Life
Why a blog? Simple. Cacoethes Scribendi -- the urge to write! My literary pretensions and caprices bring me here. Like any writer I write to be read. All my posts, though fettered to my small world and trivially myopic, will live and yearn that somebody connects to them someday. Cognitive frenzies, sardonic musings, aimless banters, incoherent ramblings and trivial indulgences; this is simply an episodic narrative of my trivial world -- in a grain of sand… Smaller than Life.

When I am dead,
I hope it is said,
'His sins were scarlet,
but his books were read'.

- Hillaire Belloc

This is my letter to the world
That never wrote to me, --
The simple news that Nature told
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

- Emily Dickinson

The thoughts of our past years
          in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction

- William Wordsworth

Estranged

Pained lovers, here's a thought for you:

All plaintive rumination is well with a romance that was wiped out by the cruel hand of Destiny; the grief is profound. But what becomes of an illusory one-sided romance that has little to glean; not even moments of requite? It merely wilts under the derision of others at a hallucinatory presumptuous odyssey for self-gratification. All along the pained lover is deluded with thoughts of a Victorian romance that never was and will never be, and when he egresses out of its labyrinthine trail, he is mockingly escorted by merely bitterness and a lingering pain. Pain not at the failure of a love, but of a neglect, the hollowness of chimerical propositions, a lack of direction and consummate attrition of self-esteem. Devdas was better off; he had at least a squashed romance to get drunk with!
