Mahar Tata

So fragile this goal
A lover's journey
Simple words to roll by. Roll into increasing orders of urbanization.
Moments to make sense.. ones i sneak away on, when I'm feeling not anywhere. Only where there are the cockroaches crawling.
Felt consumed over the past few weeks. Shifting gears, as i try to make my day less consumed, more presumed. What better than train travel to aid that.. a simple note goes a long way when it's about the railways. 10-about to go with 18 remaining.

The violence inherent in the system



Sad seeing my valley get burnt, lately (t-3d, t] . Thousands of Bambi films at making, though a majority with not the same happy ending. Like the hares and snakes and porcupines in the burrows. Or the newly-hatched on the low-hanging tree branches and myriad thickets that populate the environs of mine. Out to watch the Lyrids, I, instead, watched the forests burn. The pine needles out here are akin to gunpowder, very rapid to catch fire from the littlest spark. That littlest would be shred somewhere deep in the abandonous outdoors, away from any espy, and then, the rest is history, one that also turns several lives into history. Our greatest sins go unknown, so goes for these fires, from their origin to the supportive acts/actors. In our abstract mind, the tiny bobbly fire-figures at a distance look innocuous, same ones which make senses turn violently against our psyche when seen as 10-ft giants up-close.

Typing is a skill that declines little with time. I mean, I haven't lost it over time (or at the rate of) as much as I have with a pen and paper. When I lose track of 'writing', the comeback is usually harder than of typing. Easy responsibility of formatting is a motivating factor, I guess. It becomes especially hard to write again with no lines or margins or auto-spacing involved. The visual appeal of text needs to be reclaimed everytime someone takes a break from writing. Not so with typing. Though words are as visually boring in a text editor, they transform to a greater semantic diversity once we Publish or Preview. And there's a variety of those transformations to choose from, post-writing. Keep choosing. Curtly, typing is a taste of timelessness.
