Lingering Ghost

Alas! This lingering Ghost,
Thou canst not so boast!
In thine own self
Truly are thee engrossed,
Neglecting our hearts
Slighting our Innermost.

Through clime and years
Lives lived in fears.
Through storms and calms,
We found our balms.

Ever relenting…
Ever consenting…
And ever condescending...
Yet forever and ever...
...tormenting.

-Thanyarat Komolsingsakul

Lend Me..

Lend me a smile
Love me a while
Cast me a spell

Shh Shh...
I won't tell

Make me a promise
That nothing be amiss
Keep me enchanted

Think 'New!'

We talk of improving the circumstances surrounding us yet we are reluctant in improving ourselves; our lives therefore remain stagnant. As a result, we feel bound, restricted and suffocated. We feel like we're trapped in a spinning wheel. The fact of it is...circumstances can and will change. It has to start from ourselves...our thoughts and our actions. We need a new approach in thinking. We need a new outbreak in action. This is the only way to escape from an impasse.

Charade

Charade...what is it for?
Is it to bemuse and ruse?
To best disguise our pain?
Or is it to fool ourselves...
Into thinking, we are alright?

-Thanyarat Komolsingsakul

Enriched (really?)

Promises made
Promises broken

Hopes renewed
Hopes shattered

Smiles regained
Smiles stolen

Life enriched
Coz...

Of Uttered Lies

Fiasco or Great Experience?

It may have seemed to be a fiasco when it rained immediately after our horse riding up to Kufri, Shimla. But it wasn't at all. It was a fun time eating alloo tikki and Maggie noodles, and drinking hot tea from the vendor.

Challenging Tradition by a Very Simple Deed

It's a known and practiced thing in India that you never ever give to the beggars on the streets coz when you do, the whole community of beggars will come swarming at your feet to ask for the same. I defied this tradition and gave a bar of Kit Kat to a little girl. And it was worth it to see the look of pure bliss on her face--chocolates can really cheer a person up, even before actually consuming it.
