The T r a i l

“Why did you do that?” he asked.
“That wasn’t me,” she replied.
“You lie like a sunset — beautiful, fading, certain. But you know I see it every time. Every flicker of your voice betrays the truth.”
It hadn’t been that long since he left her behind. Yet somehow, she had found the trail.
“Why are the traces still here?” he whispered. “We walked that path lifetimes ago. And still no dust has settled. No memory has spoiled it. How do they remain untouched?”
She stood there, silent. Then finally, her voice — soft, searching.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m looking for Anand,” she said. “He left me here ages ago. I’ve been following the shape of his shadow ever since. Have you seen him?”
He looked at her, hollow-eyed.
“I’m lost,” he said.

Unknowing

By
I choose the heart of darkness — not in despair, but in reverence — to immerse myself in its monstrous chaos, the womb from which all beginnings bleed into existence. I do not flee the shadows; I invite them. I slow the light, restrain it, keep it from intruding too close—because some truths are born only where light hesitates.  I sense what is coming. The slow unravelling of the world. A moment when day and night lose their boundaries and collapse into a single breath. When direction dissolves and humanity forgets where it stands. Time loosens its grip. Space forgets its shape.  In that hour, man will begin to speak languages he has never learned, utter sounds older than memory itself. He will see beyond the limits of his eyes, hear frequencies never meant for human ears. Perception will stretch, fracture, expand—until meaning itself trembles.  And in that unsettling clarity, where fear and wonder merge, the truth will no longer hide. It will rise—not in light, but in t...

Hindolam: M₁

By
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, ...

Angels Crest and the Law of the Father

By
For those who left too soon Angels Crest directed by Gaby Dellal is a mirror image of the contemporary American family setup. The story roams around the death of a child which unintentionally happened by his divorced father on a snow fall day. The mother figure is an alcoholic who was having an extra marital sex with a friend her husband. The event has been charged a file in the court. The story goes on a straight linear track, which traces the guilty consciousness of a father. The family setup causes the death and alienation of most of the children in the United States of America. There is a possible sentimental side which might be drawn towards the side of the father who has lost his son. In a fine morning his misses his very two year old son who has been sleeping in the car. The county is gathered in a café where people meet; there is no possibility of being a stranger in a small county. After all that’s interesting and appreciative. In Lacanian psychoanalysis the Law of...
