Entry 15.0 - If the World's Gonna End Tonight

 

 

If the World’s Gonna End Tonight



If the world’s gonna end tonight,

Let’s go for a car ride..

 

I’ll quickly get the car,

Race to your house, near the park,

Won’t that be a wonderful start,

 

Start to the night, when the world’s gonna tear itself apart,

 

You’ll sit without putting the seat belt on,

With no fear, and a comical laugh, (Coz the world’s gonna tear itself apart)

 

Finally,

Its you, here by my side,

With literally, no end destination in sight.

 

Even if it’s the last night,

You sit there, lost in thoughts, like it’s any other of those countless nights, 

Playing with your nails and humming to the music the car plays,

Soon, the network is gone, and now,

It feels like, this string of silence, is our only ally.

 

(You say)

Even if the world’s ending tonight,

Look how the sky burns with a brilliant light,

 

Your eyes constantly looking out of the window,

Observing the storm destroying everything in its sight,


(You say) 

What to do now?

About the worries of future,

The worries of what feels right and wrong,

What would people say and parents think,

While driving into this oblivion, all this seems so small and imbecile,

At just 24 or 25, does it seem right with what I’ve lived like?

I doubt if all these matters now,

(making a bun of her hair)

 

 

(I say)

I hope all of this matters,

All these years and moments we’ve lived by,

All the memories and regrets, laughter and cries,

I hope that this moment does too,

(You still fiddling with the bun and your hair)

 

Where I can keep seeing you,

With no judgements and worries around,

Coz this is our last car ride,

And maybe, just maybe, I can say,

How I’ve always felt about you,

That, I see you everyday in so many ways,

The way your muscles twitch or the way you nibble your food,

The tones you use for different people and moods,

Or the way you’re playing with your bun right now,

 

At least there’s courage in me to speak about the smaller things, tonight.

 

You say nothing for a while and just me give a smile,

Saying, there’s no more time.

 

(I say)

I know it’s a little too late,

But we’ve still got tonight,

I hope we’ve got some more time,

 

And even if the world’s ending tonight,

Let just go for a car ride...

Entry 19.0 -  The Night they Met   Disclaimer: Try to imagine it as a scene in a movie, or rather a short film. When we say a scene or a short film screenplay, a lot of things are conveyed more through expressions and unsaid thoughts rather the dialogue doing the talking. Turns out, now I understand that writing a scene is difficult. At the start of it, you gotta explain the surroundings and feelings a lot before the dialogue kicks in. Though this doesn’t stop here, you gotta explain things too. (Things mentioned in brackets are what the characters are feeling or doing, what's happening in the scene) Things mentioned without brackets and in italics are the ones which the writer is thinking while writing this.. I know all this is odd..but then please take a chance on it… ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ----- The first ones are always special. Somehow, they just always are. This story is ...

Entry 20.0 - Fix You Ft. The Greater Fool

We are in the season for yearly report cards on Youtube music and Spotify wrapped. We love to see what others listened to the most (the ones we like). Its sort of getting a window into their world, probably a chance to know about their guilty pleasures. Music.. A thing of mystery. Take everything the world has in common. You won’t find a better mutual friend than Music. Take all the humans, movies, countries, gods, religions. I don’t think there’s a more powerful unifying source than Music which exists. For me, Music is part of my everyday life. Like, my each day probably starts and ends with the notes of Music. From stressful situations to daily routines to happy times, there’s a tune for each of these moods. Recently, someone asked me, how do you discover new kinds of music? How do you find songs from different languages and genre which end up being part of your playlist? There came my weird little answer. I get all the new music in my life throughs films and televisi...

Entry 21.0 - Bandish Bandits

  “I always almost get inspired by watching and listening these BEAUTIFUL shows and musicals.” “But after a few moments later, while I come out of that world full of inspiration and try to DRAW that for my current live real life right now in front of me..doesn’t happen.. Its kind of depressing. HOW DOES INSPIRATION WORK THEN?? How does Inspiration work at all? (These are lines I relate so much with. I was supposed to write an answer to them during this week) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ----- What is INSPIRATION? If I could ever put it in words for me, It’s a situaiton where neurons in the body are in a constant state of excitement - firing and transmitting impulses throughout the body. Its like that all the chakra limiters have been turned off for a while and these impulses are creating a endless spiral of intellectual and emotional storms within. And this can happen anytime, it can be o...
