"L" freezes over

"A winter's day-
in a deep and dark December
I am alone-
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock, I am an island.

I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
I touch no one and no one touches me."

(I am a rock by Simon n Garfunkel)

Whoooo.....Lucknow is freezing man!!
Planned to have that ever elusive bath today in the afternoon. But it seems that the forces of mother nature are all up in arms against me. Tommorow will be a test of my will power.
Hope that I'll succeed.
Amen

Sitting at the edge, on the cliff of hope. I've seen the sun, hanging to a bit of luck. All it needs is a slack, so tight is the rope. All it needs is some luck, to gather that hope.

Wish... I were a rock

The past few days have been very turbulent for me psychologically. Have had severe mood swings, depression, anxiety to name a few. Well, life doesn’t always follow the smoothest tracks for u I guess. I have been sarcastic, rude , cynical to many of the people around me and I simply fail to fathom why? May be it’s all a vent for the frustration that has been building inside me for a very long time regarding my life, my career and my aspirations. I wanted to stay happy, at least to pretend to stay happy to people around me so that they do not feel the heat of my erratic behaviour. But, so far I’ve been unsuccessful at that. I felt like explaining things to them as in why I was avoiding them, lashing out at them and scorning them. They too deserve an explanation being some of my closest pals but, I feel I just couldn’t explain things to them. If only I could do that to them…..to myself. If only……… Well coming back to sanity, I have been tagged by Manish and Nidhi who have asked me to name...
