  • The Starry Sky

    The Starry Sky

    We don’t usually get to see a starry sky. Well, there will be few visible stars here, but not too many to lie down and admire like it used to be when I was a kid. Back then we used to lie on the rooftop often. Eventhough our place and surrounding is not as polluted as the city, we live close to airport, naturally air pollution and light pollution is inevitable on certain days. But yesterday, I am not sure if its the calmness after the rain and cyclone that the city faced last week, I accidentally noticed too many…

    The Crux Of Time (Poem)

    The crux of time, the bleak disaster!When everything is weighed on a broken scaleOne always gives more than the other,While the other grows cold and frail…The scale has never been in equilibrium.The low tide hits hard, a harsh reminderOf how the sea can ebb and flow.One always waits for the other’s returnWhile the other seeks new shores to know.The light that shines only in the darkA faint and flickering star;One always hopes for the other’s sparkWhile the other drifts too far…That’s the timeline of starsLongest in your eyes… The shortest in the space…The crux of time, the bleak disasterWhen your emotions…

The scenery is spot on, the water is not clearer in any way but the view is quite stunning. Feels like you are in a chaotic painting. I consider it a feel-good place. We didn’t exactly plan to go there, but we suddenly ended there because of terrible traffic.…
