Where do the Oranges fall??

An orange falls from a tree- Not on Newton. No one wondered why she fell, like he did when the apple did. But everyone wondered whether the orange was orange or the orange was the orange. Is orange a color or a fruit or a color named after the fruit or the fruit named after the color?? How does orange look?? For me she looks orange, for you too she does- but my orange isn’t the same as yours. I might be color blind or you might be, or we both might not be- yet orange is orange today, but tomorrow or for someone else, she’s totally different. Once we make an attempt to accept all the confusions of her cover, we look closer, as she lets you into her world. As we get introduced to a new expression among the various others of her. The juicy vesicles that we consume each one of them having a quality of her own, mood of her own and having her own individual existence within. An aroma of her own that slows down the movement of sand into the other side of it. As we separate a vesicle, another expression of her is introduced. Now we’re looking into her, from a whole different perspective. We never knew that there was a vesicle inside her, when she fell at first. It was just stories we heard, when we saw something colorful fall off a tree that grew from a seed and some downpour by the sincerity of the queen of seasons. It was a conversation of the nature, a way of telling a story by creating something new, different, something colorful in between the green canvas on a brown bark. A vesicle bounded by a translucent layer, we see a seed within. A seed that would give birth to another green canvas and a brown bark that would grow to more oranges. So we take it away, the flaw in everything that we expect to be perfect. We get into the translucent layer and in between the juiciness of the colorfulness; we find a flaw, the seed whose potential and acceptance comes with time. And then we pop in our mouth, to experience a momentary joy that would sustain until you pop another and another, as we plant the flaws and let the seasons takes over its part. The various expressions are known, familiar with time as we fall in love with the cycle. The color, the fruit, the various expressions as we get into the colorful fruit, as we understand her mood and her tastes- she falls off a tree, another one falls and then another. From within, another one grows and from that, another and this big cycle keeps continuing. And now the orange doesn’t fall below the tree, she falls far away, travels far away and meets tangerines, gets insecure. Finds an apple, is fascinated by his contribution to Gravity. Meets everyone else, tries to understand just like she did herself. Then she falls in love with the diversity, variety and the flaws that exist all around in a world filled with colors and tastes, living in a bubble that needs to be… burst.

Batman and Bananas

Bananas- The fruit most of us love. We consume the good of it and dispose the peel. Something that we ignore to notice is the way the peel makes people fall down, if not disposed rightfully. After extracting the good, if you leave it on the streets to decompose, it’ll get back on the human race by making someone slip for someone else’s action. This sounds like the story of every grey character towards the black end we’ve known- the bad guys- or the villains that we’ve come across. So who are the good guys? Bananas??- Maybe. So let’s talk about Batman, the universe with a quite a lot of grey characters. Batman was trained by mercenaries who wanted him to destroy Gotham, become a ‘peel’ to Gotham slip it off its course of downfall and mark a growth of a new civilization. But he does become a symbol, a symbol of ‘right’ among all wrongs- he becomes the peel in the dustbin. When the peel is in the dustbin, instead on the street- it’s in the right place, doing the right thing. Not on the ...

Post Master of None, Season 2

After finishing a fantastic second season of Master of None, started going through Ansari's Wikipedia page to come across that he has written book on something he was dealing with through his series. So I got the book and I've been reading Modern Romance- An investigation. Reading this, I'm kind of feeling that in a way we feel we're a generation who've seen the best of both, now I feel that we've lived the best now we're just turning into 'not so nice' people. The way we play some form of competitive games over the various apps available to us, where the texts are a way to hide from the actual conversations or the way our personalities are judged over the way we use the dictionary, grammar, emojis and how we sound over a text. After some level there is an understanding dynamic between the two, but until then it's this uncertainty that might come off as confusion or in a judgemental form, might be a loss of something that could've would...

In between the Lakes and Palaces

If you’re A poet A misfit A dreamer A schemer A rebel A loner A doer A thinker Please For the love Of the universe Don’t change A piece of blue paper with these words on it was handed to me on a bowl with many others, with different quotes to it. The universe chose this for me, amongst all the other chits of paper, stuck between my fingers as I lifted it from a ‘bowl of quotes’ placed at our table along with the bill at a café, in the narrow lanes of Udaipur. With partially digested pasta with pesto and a shot of caffeine in the form of Irish coffee, I was hit with strong words making me ponder about- What am I doing? - in middle of the largest state in the country. Of all the café’s in all of Udaipur, I walk into this and this little blue paper falls in between my fingers. I was lost in a sea of thoughts, each word playing on repeat in my head as I walked down the narrow lanes towards Bagore ki Haveli, again. I couldn’t hear the words of my friends, just s...
