Stephen Dedalus- The Anarchist

My name is Stephen Dedalus. I am a hawk within myself, a creature bound to the human form, yet tethered to something greater. My wings are magnificent and powerful, capable of navigating even the most violent and unpredictable tempests of existence. In the face of these storms, I will never lose my way. The firmament, that eternal expanse of spotless sky, does not weigh my heart with its monstrous gravity.
Gravity. What a profound phenomenon! It anchors everything, yet it also gives meaning to all that exists. Gravity shapes us, gives us life, love, and lust. It makes time and space possible, and in its absence, existence would fragment into endless, uncountable particles of matter. Without gravity, life itself would cease to be, and even death would be impossible. How could I not fall in love with it?
I am an anarchist. Not in the political sense, but in a deeply personal way. The adventure of life is enough to keep me enthralled with the transient nature of our existence. I have no illusions about how vast and infinite my potential may be, but I understand that I do not yet know the full extent of it. I do not speak much. I do not seek the company of others, for my circle is small. My feelings are intimate, and they belong only to me. Love, however, is the exception—it transcends the personal and binds me to the world.
I dance. I sing. I live, even in the darkest and most painful moments of my journey. I cry when I need to. In the grand theater of life, I find it exhilarating to witness the human carnival in all its myriad forms—its beautiful, grotesque, and unnameable transformations. Life, I’ve learned, is a wild dragon, a beast spitting fire and fury. Taming it is a challenge, but I, a warrior, am ready for the adventure. I carry all the weapons I need, and I wield them when the time comes. The people I meet, the choices I make, the places I go, the karma I accumulate—each is a weapon in its own right.
My myth is metafictional. I was born in the mind of a man and inscribed into the eternal pages of thought. People think of me, and in doing so, they become like me—climbing the stairways of their own consciousness toward uncharted horizons. You can find me everywhere: in universities, libraries, squares, churches, playhouses, asylums, penitentiaries, monasteries, brothels, warfields, and cemeteries.
Transformation does not diminish my essence. I am timeless, existing beyond the boundaries of dimension, where gravity ceases to exist. In that place, I dissolve into pure energy, infinite and ever-present.

Hindolam: S

When someone is taken away from you, you realise how much you need that person. The universe took 'him' away from her and she wasn't ready to give up yet. She needed to get back to 'him', to her world. That was the only thought that crossed her mind, it consumed her. Her fear, perplexities and doubts vanished, this was the moment she figured out what she really wanted. She realised that she knew it all along. She loved 'him' so dearly that she wouldn't leave 'him' for anything in the world.  She told him, "I belong to 'him'. No matter how intensely you love me, I will love 'him', not you. Because it was a promise for a lifetime. Even death can't do us apart. Let me go. I have to go back to 'him'. I know I'm hurting you but 'he' needs me. And do you know how ardently I love and admire 'him'? As much as you love me, if not more. And 'he' loves me much more than that also. ” His moist eyes...

Rage

Rage, rage, rage! Rage unto the roaring skies and rob the mighty waves of light; And sound the clash of Titans. Bring me them in the arc, I shall drink them to the less. Ah, my Angels and Devils,  Rage unto the eternal fire and waters, I shall blow the west wind and chariot unto the Eastern skies. I carry the unquenched fire and sound the trumpet of war. They devoured Prometheus's liver, Defiled Hypatia upon Caesareum's altar, Stripped by oyster shells, Bathed in the blood of Jesus, the Nazarene. I bury them. Yes, I bury them. I see the reversal of the time-  Those who walk on land shall return to their origin. The slave of the past, Bearer of forefathers' sins, Shed your blood, find solace in your shadows, As they demand the return of your sins.           Show me your hands           For, they drop blood            and wipe the stains of sins they p...

Kundera

Emerging from the lampshade, a nocturnal butterfly fluttered erratically, startled by the sudden overhead light. As I closed the book, the strains of a distant piano and violin drifted weakly from below. Lost in contemplating the butterfly's flight patterns, I found myself entranced. Kundera, sensing my bewilderment, remarked on the rhythm, the highs and lows of the musical strains below. He spoke of the interconnectedness of each note, emphasizing how even the pauses between them contributed to the symphony's beauty. I was drawn to the profound silence, where a symphony was meticulously orchestrated. Interrupting my reverie, she snatched the book from my chest, exclaiming, "What are you reading?" I could only respond with an "Ah!"
