Who are you?

 I stare at my profile and sometimes my eyes fall on the header it shows, bolded letters, almost proud, calling out a name, Piyush Baral. And I wander who this person actually is. 


Is it the picture that is displayed above it? Or the hand that had typed it or the mind that is making it write it? Is piyush the vibes he tries to send? Or the memories others save about him for him to be? Does his belief makes him piyush? Or does his emotions radiating around do? 

They say every cells around the body is completely replaced at about 7 years. Many memories fade, we learn and unlearn new things every passing moment. People with alzheimer's or some form of memory disorders lose their entire identity yet they are themselves. How? 


The thought or belief Piyush had a year ago completely contradicts the ones he has right now too,  the looks he had changes conatantly, he learns and unlearns many skills constantly, his taste changes and his thought processes and preferences changes in time too. Even in all these differences and changes, how is the identity still Piyush Baral? What makes this boldness and pride in this consistency of fluctuations in yourself as yourself?

Who are you?

Emotions are another form of energy

Image
  " Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form into another. "  Newton was very right about his theory. I think this same theory is very much applicable to our emotions and feelings as well, to some extent at least. I’m not going to go on a debate on how can an emotion NOT be created! The very nature of the feelings and emotions is that they develop, grow and prosper in our heart and mind like cancer. And certainly feelings are destroyed! The feeling, killed from its active sprouting form into a complete diminish is probably what we call Indifference. I’m not trying to explain about how to create a feeling, But I’d like to focus only on the, “can be transformed from one form into another” and ultimately destroy it as a whole. Think about it, what do you say when you talk to someone and you don’t feel like you are going to enjoy their company? You’d say, “Our vibes don’t match.” Or some words similar. The vibes, or the vibration of one ...

When you're so F*ked up in love.

 When you're so fucked up in love,  When you're so fucked up in love, You feel like a bird with broken wings  Unable to soar above,  Trapped in a world of painful things. Every thought is consumed.  By the one who holds your heart,  You try to move on really bad,  But you don't know where to start. You see their face in every crowd.  Their voice echoes in your mind.  You try to silence the memories,  But they're impossible to unwind. The pain cuts deep like a knife,  As you try to heal from the wound.  But no matter how hard you strive.  The love remains profound. You wish you could turn back time, And do things differently somehow,  But you know that's just a fantasy,  And you're stuck in the here and now. When you're so fucked up in love.  Your heart feels like a stormy sea,  Your mind is a tangled mess,  And you can't seem to break free. But as time passes by.  You start to realize, That lo...

What more is our life than a theatrical dance?

 Sometimes we feel like we have lost our way or we don't know what we are supposed to be doing ahead anymore. We frantically look around searching for clues, suggestions, hints, help to find out what we are supposed to do, where we're supposed to go. "Hey please tell me where I'm supposed to go!" we ask to another forlorn mess searching for their own way themselves. But if we take a certain time to stop chasing and look behind, we find ourselves in a place or situation completely different from where we started. We have been making some progress afterall! But we just don't know where from and where to. We just dance. Move forward and dance. Pretend like we know what we are doing and keep going on that performance. Make it a grand, spectacular show to fool everyone into believing that you have figured it out. Including yourself. You perform. You perform until nobody wants to see you perform. Or maybe you still perform even when nobody wants to see you perform. ...
