Sleep Walking The "Moon Walk"

Do you ever get a feeling, when you are not sure if you are still awake or just dreaming? If you do, I am sure you would hope everything to be normal when you wake up - assuming of course you were dreaming in the first place. What if you weren't? What if you couldn't? Well! I don't want to sound like a person on a trip, so excuse me if this sounds a bit weird, but I think I am sleep-walking a moon walk.

The harder I push, The more I am pushed back
The more I desire, The harder I am taken aback
Is this a dream, or a real deadlock?
I guess I am, Sleep walking a moon walk

So, why am I discussing this? If I had known, I wouldn't have! I am probably asking more questions than telling answers. But trust me, this ain't a question and there surely is no answer. I think it's more of a condition - a state of being; just another frame of mind.

Freaked out already? Please don't be!
Thoughts flow free, just sink in with me
Really press hard and you will understand
This post was designed to kill some of your time!


Thank you for reading this post, it meant nothing! I am now responsible for wasting a couple of your minutes :) Curse me as much as you like, but remember - there is always a little truth in "just kidding".

A Walk To Remember

Sometimes I wonder if we really comprehend loneliness. I was heading home after devoting a day's life to the hardships of the flat world, with my "currently freaked out" mind trifling with my emotions. The night was cold and I wanted to be alone; but I guess it had more in-store for me than just a mere glass of hot milk and an old laptop to meddle with. A queer thought struck my mind, and now I was treading the roads, blind!

In the darkness of the night
Away from all delight,
On my foot I was treading
Was it only me or my mind dreading?

Having crossed a couple of blocks, I started hearing blaring beats of a few notorious drums, which appeared to have killed the silence of the night. The dark night had nothing to offer, except a few drums beating out in rapture. So, I thought of inspecting the occasion, with rising hope and an intense desire in succession. To my surprise, it was a Lohri night, and I saw people celebrating in their own jive.

No signs of fatigue or tire
Dancing around the ring of fire,
People had lit the holy beacon
Frisking in the festive Lohri season

I stood there for as long as I could, allowing my soul to tap to a beat or two. I was really happy to have taken that walk, which helped me to refresh - at least my thoughts! The sudden vibe had blessed my soul and now I was readily heading for my home. That night I slept really well, with sweet memories of the Lohri celebrations forcing my loneliness to bid farewell.

Blessed my soul, I was overwhelmed
My mind was free, having no realm
Thoughts were candid, but really tender
This surely was, a walk to remember



I was alone but not lonely! No friends around, but happy faces in plenty!
