The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

O CHILDHOOD

O childhood 
I was again lost in your innocence 
When you didn’t ask me why 
Your anger looks so complete
For both of us 
That it doesn’t need words
Like that expression on your face
As natural, as reactive, 
As life is supposed to be 
You speak when you feel
You react when you have to 
A freedom so natural to us 
Yet we have to crave for it 
In a life, driven by compulsions 
We have almost forgotten 
What it is about being a human 
Our broken souls do cry inside 
But in a painted world
Where we selectively cry
As it is invitational to its semiotics 
And so to our inhibitions 
When I see you o childhood 
I realize what I have lost in life 
And I go through this grind so often
