Crusoe

I am a lone wanderer. The stars above are my guides, the wind my unyielding speed, and my dreams, those untamed forces, propel me forward. Time unfolds beneath my feet, the road stretching endlessly, and space becomes nothing more than a marker of milestones—yet I do not seek to know where it all leads. My destination is a mystery, and that mystery is enough.
There is a reason behind every encounter, a force behind every meeting. What drives us to act as we do, to choose one path and not another? Have you ever considered your own death? Not the mere event of it, but the various ways it could come? There is a strange discomfort in contemplating death. The energy that once surged through our veins, that vibrant force sustaining life, gradually fades. This is the inevitable rhythm of existence. As our bodies decay, the universe itself renews us in its cosmic furnace—where the struggle between life’s resilience and death’s inevitability unfolds. Life finds its way, and so too does death, relentless and undeterred.
But what of existence beyond the known? Beyond stars and planets, beyond even the comforting glow of light? Can you imagine a place where there is no reflection, no object to grasp, not even a distant glow? A place where you are cast into the pure, raw nothingness—the absolute void. The space itself becomes an overwhelming presence, a monstrous force that traps you in its vastness. It is a terror more profound than death itself. To be lost in that boundless abyss, utterly alone, is the most primal horror. For, what can you fear when you are alone in a universe without form, without meaning? A shark, a predator, would at least provide an alter ego—a threat, a shape, something to grasp against. But to face nothingness, without an echo, without a boundary—this is terror without equal.

Hindolam: M₁

At every corner, she glimpsed him. Through the mist, she saw his figure, looking at her, the love in his eyes never fading. She tightened her grip on 'his' hand, her love, and glanced back. Sometimes she wonders, was it true? What he believed in. Whether she was his princess. But, she lost that moment. And she lived in her present, and the past, a mirage. Nothing could change her love for 'him'. She looked into 'his' eyes and all her inhibitions disappeared. She didn't hear the soft crunch of leaves behind her. She was too occupied with her love, her beliefs, with 'him'. She didn't see him steal glances at her. And sometimes, he lost her again, in the mist, in the blur, in the obscurity.  But he always found her, for his love for her burned in his heart, a bright flame. She gave him the key to his freedom, but he flung it away. He chose his way of life, he wanted to chase her forever. He would never give up. His incessant pursuit fascinated her, ...

In the Fabric of Evolution

Nothing was left untouched. Every stone was overturned, every grain of sand displaced. The monstrous beauty of the Earth transforming into a perfect haven for living organisms was a grand saga of evolution—an orchestration by the Unknown. As a child then, and an adult now, my timeless reverie has been to envision this orchestration—to witness how the Earth journeyed from the most hostile to the most hospitable. I have, time and again, tried to comprehend evolution and the mysterious forces that harmonized to weave the very fabric of life. As I grew, I found myself entangled in the same fabric of evolution—fulfilling its purpose. I began to see how I, too, evolved through the people who crossed my path, the events that unfolded, and the moments that shaped me. Everything seemed to work in silent precision, scripting the being I was meant to become. Should I resist it—or embrace it? I find resistance meaningless, for everything appears perfectly programmed by time and space. Can I truly ...

Hindolam: Ṡ

WE danced till the world slipped into an oblivion of our presence.  WE drank wine till the sun turned black.   WE forgot who we were and transformed into the purest form of creation.  I knew, then, I died and reincarnated into all of your desires, happiness, sorrows, fears, ecstasy, and forms of beings.  “Where will you find me after?” your lips quivered.  “You are everywhere” I said.
