From dust to stardusts.

We were stardust once said Mother Crow to her nestlings high up a gulmohar tree in the park of a city suburbs. Mother Crow survived the first monsoon fending off city monkeys far bigger than she was from eating her eggs and she plans on surviving the rain and the storm and the hails and the gale. Mother Crow is a scavenger, she needed her inguenity and intelligence to survive in a human jungle.  She doted her children in a way humans doted theirs. She will die for them. She is a good mother.

There is a road that leads to the park where office goers of the city commute every single day. It was hectic at rush hours where vehicles of all kinds swerved around in chaos bellowing up dust into the air covering up the leafs of trees in the park in brown. One of those tree was a cranky old mango tree who hated the gulmohar for taking away all his insects who protected his fruits from diseases and birds.

There was a car that could speak named Debry.

There was a boy who lived near a park on a city suburbs whose parents work selling mangoes for a living. The boy had asked his father a slingshot for his birthday.

There was a crow that died protecting her hatchlings from a boy's slingshot who fell onto the ground in a park covered by the dust of vehicles everyday at 9 am. 

There was a half rotten corpse of a crow half eaten by ants near a gulmohar tree in a park near a road. 

There were little crows who had lost their mother because a mango tree bore bad fruits after the end of one monsoon which fruit sellers couldn't sell and had to borrow money that year or their child would grow hungry on his birthday. Someone discovered a car that could talk on his birthday and thinking it was a sign from heavens that their son would achieve great things, they bought a slingshot he always wanted for his birthday with which he killed a mother crow who was cawing her lungs off in a park when he was testing out his new slingshot on mangoes. A gulmohar tree was struck by lightning that evening into half.

There was a queen ant who survived a storm.

In the beginning there was the big bang. Millions of atoms split into twos and threes creating star dust and plants and solar systems and universes.

A star died split itself into tiny atoms and some of that atom became a bird, a crow, a slingshot, a boy, a car, a park, a fruit vendor, hatchlings, city suburbs.

An atom killed an atom.

We are all stardusts.

All about papercranes.

Here I write this words in remembrance of the things that happened and I smiled even though she will never be mine, she's the one that got away but the circumstances by which here I am, not sad, just happy is because she changed me, she changed me for the better. She’s a warm ray of sunshine, a free spirit in this tumultuous and constricting after-thoughts that haunt me to this very day and I cherish every words, every smile and every moment spent with her.  It was a college trip where we first met, on a bus as I was sitting listening to music to calm my nerves because we were travelling to a distant place and the road we were going to take was perilous with high cliffs and dangerous mudslides that usually occur usually at that time of year. She came in with a friend, fashionably late but just in time. The thing that caught my eye about her was her hairdo, which was a shawl wrapped around her head to keep her wild hair from flowing all over the place. I thought it was pretty low...

The 21'st Century Tribal?

I live in a world surrounded by concrete jungles that streched high up into the sky.I am lost in a city where friendly faces of my people are gone.I do not the tongues they speak and their eyes stared deep into my soul.As I walked on paths that lit up in the dark,metal horses screamed at me as they run down black roads.“Do I belong here?“is the question I asked myself most of the time.I long for the green  fields,the woods where creatures roamed undisturbed by men and most of all,my people,with their sun-burnt faces smiling at me as I walk past them in our small world.I traded these simple joys in life for an education which could not and will not help me living a life in a world that is changing economically,culturally and politically.I remain oblivious of the essentials in life eventhough I have been educated in all the knowledge of western sciences.I was never taught how to catch a fish,climb a tree or cook rice in firewood.The knowledge I attain from this education,I could not...

Not even stars live forever

Of the seven deadly sins,sloth is my demon and I love her.I'd rather sleep all day and get paid sitting in my ass rather than working hard,with sweaty armpits and things like that to get minimal pay.But is sitting on my ass and getting paid better than working all day on the fields,sweating all over?Is it healthy?Would you rather die of a high blood pressure by being obese because you sit on your ass all day in a close quarter office building or live a hard life tilling the land,churning dirt for your everyday bread and butter but keeping healthy doing just that?.Do you need to meet social expectations and live up to your parents dreams because they couldn't achieve the dreams they made you strive for?.Do you want to stay so relevant to the things that happen with the world and couldn't keep up with the drama in your home?Would you rather work and be so fucking tired you cant stay relevant to your wife or your kids and so you had to find love outside of your hou...
