Can I just…

Can I just…

By Sarvesh Antapurkar2 Comments
And today can I just walk? Like I want to? When no one would see me? Where no one will feel any difference? Can I just go out as I'm? Naked of all the faces I wear to make do? So no one would walk with me? Or towards me? Can I just let go today? Of the feelings I hold back? And no one would get hurt? Unlike the times before? Today, can I be myself? With nothing hidden in the dark? Without regrets? And just all love? Can they just be as they are? Neither a bit less? Nor a part more? Perfect for existence and love? Can they let me be me today? Without judging? Nor getting hurt and hurting? Not complaining and only loving? Like the peaceful flow of the mighty Yangtze Would then I be. Only for if Daydreaming is not what I ask for. ©The Honest Fabler — Sarvesh Antapurkar ©Image Source — Google Images ...

Embracing Good Vibes

Embracing Good Vibes

By Radhika Ravindra16 Comments
It's been a while since you had a light hearted conversation, A long talk with someone which intoxicates your soul, A discussion that disentangles your intertwined thoughts, With tales of hope being the small capsules of a hopeless day.   It's been a while since you embraced the serenity, As you inhaled the scent of damp ground underneath, Exchanging rhapsodical gazes with your partner, While observing the beatific sunset as its colors blended gradiently.   It had been a while since you gazed at the long stretch of oceans, Stirring the heart as it radiated good vibrations into your soul, The blowing wind on your face detaching your worries away, As you sat quietly devouring the good vibes and its majestic purity.   They say Miracles happen when you do something without being asked, Maybe you should start by giving something to the world, Maybe a smile? A little compliment? A helping hand? You can’t harvest a field of good vibes if you don’t plant the seed of gratitude.   Complain less, be thankful and generous. Don’t expect you will receive...

Inside

Inside

By Sarvesh Antapurkar2 Comments
You look tired. Weary. Lanky. Upset. I see your eyes and I know it. I know you are trying. Trying to be strong. And giving all you can. It's full of selflessness. You are full of it. And yet here you are. All screwed and at the edge. Verge of giving it up. Everything around seems to resist you. Resist the change in you. And you end up doing what you think you won't ever do. You fight yourself over what is right and what is easy. It's dilemmatic. It's tough. And most importantly, it's not you. You were clear always. But no more. You feel shadowed in your own dark. But is this the end? Well, you don't know. So wait not. Keep fighting. Fight for the right. It won't be easy. Dumbuldor said so. Just laugh out loud. Look back and pat your back for the long way you have covered. And plunge inside the dark. Light it up from within. Or be a plankton. Just glow. Take it easy even when it's not. Sit back for a moment. Listen to Calum Scott telling you that there's a rhythm inside. And then...

Unsung Heroes

Unsung Heroes

I lie to you dressing in cheap clothes, an old duffel and pretending to be a cable operator. I lie to you washing your car, doing over jobs and making you think I'm poor. I lie to you. I lie to all. and you live on thinking you know me. you know my name, or perhaps the name I told you was mine. you know what I do, and not that what I do is lie. I lie of being a software developer. I lie of working on the weekend. I lie about going to the conference. I lie about all the meetings with the clients. I lie about my whereabouts. I lie about the deals. But perhaps, it is all true. I disguise to look poor. I act as a wallflower. I tell you the truth, and so I scream to all, but all of them are too blind to see perhaps you know me as I'm a software developer deciphering the coded messages working on the weekend as I kill a few sleeper cells conference with the mission operators disguised meetings...

Unpaid Loan

Unpaid Loan

By Sarvesh AntapurkarNo Comments
An unpaid-loan is the most stressful thing in the world. But of course, to those who care to repay. A loan, left unpaid, leaves us with a feeling on uneasiness. A mindset, which constantly forces our attention to the incomplete thing. More or less, it is like a unfulfilled responsibility. Loan is a mere borrow-return agreement. But the care is to be taken that the borrowed commodity is not exploited by you. Perhaps we have forgotten the same. The world we live in is not an ancestral gift, but a loan approved and sanctioned by our future generations. We do not own this, but have borrowed it and are bound to revert it in the good condition that we got it in, if not better than that. It is our responsibility to care for this beautiful gift but not forget it being an unpaid-loan, which we must return. Every single element of it, should be intact and should remain so. We have lost...

Death, take me.

Death, take me.

By Sarvesh Antapurkar1 Comment
Ever been in a place where you have nothing to say, but a lot to tell. Where all you feel is empty, but inside, you are on the verge of puking out all the crap that you hold inside. Where your mind screams, "Death, take me." What do you do then? Do you walk and hope that it will go down like the extra fat on your tummy? Or do you run, for it to come off like the sweat?   Ever did you try hiding, where it won't be able to see you? Or perhaps jumping down from the 14th floor?   Do you ever talk it out? Or sing it, like all those sad and depressing songs, which tend to suck out all the energy inside you?   Throw it off, like you throw a pebble in a steady lake, disturbing its peace and then drowning it to death? Or simply standing in a thunderstorm, and let the current burn it down to ashes?   Did you ever let it flow like...

Situation

Situation

By Sarvesh AntapurkarNo Comments
With the passing time and so he was realizing that he wasn't made for the thing in which he was falling into. For he wasn’t meant to stay at a single place and spend his whole life in it. He wasn’t meant to stay there forever. It was not his cup of tea. Fascinations were all around him since a long time then. And he had known all the ways he can go with. The options were of no short as well. Everything he had a passion for, was in front of him and yet he was there. Stationary. Unfortunstely he had no other choice but to do what he was forced into. There was pure helplessness that he was feeling. Helpless to pull himself out of the thing he was up with. Sometimes, it is just that you have to do it. For, either it’s the only way and you have no other option. His was the same situation. Passion would serve great and he will be happy, he...

Helpless

Helpless

Helpless.   Haven't you ever felt so?   Seeing things and not able to change the wrong.   But wrongs had always been there, then it dawns.   However, helplessness? Perhaps not.   Then what made the wrong to stay so?   Was it the silence?  Or had it been the rotten core?   To change the wrong the question always arrived   We ignore and name it helplessness. (Can that be denied?)   Aren't we at the stage yet where we are aware of it and need to change it?   Or would it take some more sisters, homies and lovers to be molested before it?   Is it really the issue with the society as a whole?   Or is it just merely us on a personal chore?   It's been long now. Long enough to bear and be helpless.   It's time to make those wrong helpless. ©The Honest Fabler — Sarvesh Antapurkar ©Image Source — Google Images...
