  1. Youth

    I remember all too clearly
    Some days from my youth
    No, not the time spent
    In someone's company
    Actually not in their company
    If you know what I mean,
    But some other days
    Actually far too few days
    To recount some
    My mind goes back
    Recalling my visit to JNU
    Where a friend was studying
    (Himadeep, now a prof at Vassar)
    Another friend was there, too
    (AV Satish Chandra, gold medalist
    At JNU in pol sci).

    I remember the student elections
    Had gotten underway at JNU
    That guy from Bihar
    Contesting for president
    Spoke in just chaste Hindi
    That the southerner in me
    Was quite charmed,
    And I heard him
    Sitting beside my friend
    And his classmates
    Some of whom were girls
    Who seemed more at ease
    Those Delhi girls
    Than those from my hometown.

    I remember banging my head
    Between the two eyebrows
    Against the drum, at JNU,
    When I bent in to take water
    And injuring myself
    And being young
    I wondered if that would leave a scar
    Ruining thus my chances
    Of a girl ever dating me
    And my friend was exasperated
    Said he,
    "First treat that injury
    Stop thinking all that."
    Now I tell myself
    It is just that scar
    Which made all the girls
    Down the years
    Hesitate
    Yes, just that,
    And not my personality
    Or overall looks
    That for me
    Was the real dialectical materialism
    In my life.

    Then there was Varun(?)
    Hima's classmate
    A slightly fat guy
    And hence his nickname enugu
    Who was the topper
    Who went on to do
    PhD from Oxford
    On some scholarhsip (Rhodes or Inlaks?)
    And I smiled at him
    From across the dining table
    Having breakfast
    (God, so much chapati and dal).

    Then those teas under the trees---
    I do not recall, but
    Surely they must have been discussing
    Marx
    And some waiting for the library to open
    Those Civil Services aspirants.

    Then staying some days
    On that Delhi trip
    Way back in 1986
    At Narasimha's place
    Who was in the law school
    And Sanjay was there, too,
    Little could I know
    Both would go on
    To becoming Supreme Court judges
    (Shh, forget I said that,
    They do not want the public to know
    They are my friends
    Lest someone curry their favour)
    And the law school back then
    Was a pretty vibrant place
    Plus, Sanjay and I
    Took a photo
    In front of the supreme court
    Which photo I have since torn up
    In one of those moods
    When I do not value anything in life.

  6. Thanks to a dear friend for a lovely evening of tea, doggo snuggles, talking about ALL the relationships, tantra events, BDSM-events and more 💝

    I have a somewhat easy time understanding that I have partners and lovers. But that I have such a cool, kind, supportive and quite big circle of friends blows my mind and fills my heart 💖

  7. CW: marriage

    Went and saw Midwinter Break.

    It's a small tale.
    Set in the present.
    The acting, dialogue and camerawork are so good that they were pretty much invisible to me.

    If you're doing, or have done, marriage then I'm interested in what you feel about the movie and the subjects raised.

    "What of the subjects raised are most important in your view?"

  12. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

  15. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.
