wise and otherwise...


"Arjuna, Knowledge stands
covered by the eternal enemy of the wise
known as desire,
which is insatiable like fire."
-Sri Krishna

I live on the edge,
I am rooted in that very thing of 'desire', 'life', 'wants', 'bullet rides', 'nice coffee', 'brilliant and other conversations', 'desire to intimacy', 'desire to grief', 'desire to have smiles and tears', 'desire to see', 'desire to understand', 'be a man (with the flavours of being human)', 'desire of walking long miles', 'desire to burn myself to bones', 'desire to reach the horizon'...


Churn and learn
Sulk and burn
Fire in the mountain
Run run run...


I stand nowhere close to wisdom
Not ready to give away my boredom(!)
Thou cry for thy freedom
My acts n thoughts are very random...


I let myself be such
Nevertheless with left much
Thoughts and wishes still to munch
I let myself be such
