50. Battlefield

From the very moment their souls became one, a battle began. It was a war fought by two tender hearted lovers against a world; one that was run by rules written by culture, language, heritage and the most potent one, religion. 

Despite trying all that they could to make peace with that venomous force, somehow it kept lurking back into their small but wonderful world, perhaps creating a barricade between the mented souls.

It even came to a point where there was self doubt within themselves as if there was a rule that social norms and religious values have to be taken as the primary requirement for "soul finding".

Sadly there was a limit to what two naïve  lovers can do to fight back.  Sure, the world written with unholy truths and ran by spiritual lies might have won this round but this is not the end of it in any sense.

As they parted their ways, he hugged her and said " Our souls might never be together in this life but in the next life or the life after that, we will exist as one. We will exist in a world with no barriers or religions, in a day when the truth will rise  above the unholy practices and spirtual lies; an ultimate truth called Love. Until then keep my soul too as I don't want to exist in this heartless world with it. Until then farewell my love".

136. നിശാഗന്ധി / Nishagandhi: Queen of the Night

Image
As I kept fighting dreary dreams in the middle of the night, a nocturnal fragrance woke me up from the depth of my slumber.  Wanting to find the source of this scent,  I embarked on an uncharted journey.  I kept fumbling in the dark haze until stumbling across a mesmerizing sight.  Even as the drapes of dusk covered the light, it was like twilight, this mystical sight. With it's radiance and enchanting allure, before me bloomed the Queen of the Night. As everything else stood still, stuck in time, my life felt like a riddle; perhaps a rhyme.  -Rithin. After planting the Queen of the Night in her indoor garden a few years ago,  my mother tended to it with the same love and care she gave her own children. It took immense patience as this type of flower only blooms one night a year. The fact that it wilts before dawn further signifies its rarity. Last night, I was fortunate enough to have woken up by the sweet fragrance of this blooming flower. I watched it da...

137. The Aura of Aurora

Image
Ever since the hues were washed away from my life, it has become nothing but a blur.  Mundane agony and constant worries  have ended up covering it fully like fur.  But at this moment right now,  all that have become a memory; As I  stumble upon an aura, so luminous, vivid, and shimmery.  Along with the sky,  it is painting my soul and along with the surroundings,  it is lighting up my life.  An experience like no other; Something I have craved to see.  There it is, the alluring aurora, right in front of me. As I am floating high with euphoria, basking in this kaleidoscopic experience, I find myself asking if this is what a thousand rainbows look like.  Rithin.

And how incredibly fortunate was I on that phenomenal ni...

Core Memory Unlocked!

Image
January 2008 ; just a few months after my family and I moved to the United States.       Hailing from the Southern part of India, to us snow was an abstract concept; something we witnessed occasionally in film songs and music videos.  It was sometime after the 3rd period in 6th grade when a kid yelled out "Hey look, it's snowing!". Along with the whole class, I turned towards the window too. To the kids around me, these powdery white flurries meant a seasonal occurrence; a simple reminder of the winter wonders. But for me, it was a monumental moment. An event like no other! Something I have never witnessed or experienced before in my life. It continued to snow and during my bus ride home, I just stared out through the window, completely mesmerized. We all played in the snow at our bus stop and all along the way to our homes. I am quite certain that I might have even crunched down a few handfuls of snow. What made this experience even sweeter was the fact that we...
