Let us Think



Let us think, before the brink,
Is far too near to avoid.
Let us ponder, without the wander,
To which pondering-s often surrender.

Let us plan, prepare and consider,
What the consequence and subsequence may be.
Let us back ourselves up for the worst,
And not act martyrs to the expectation of a ‘luck spree’.

We must work, structured cerebrum and not exactly the optimist’s view,
Turn a brave face to every outcome but refrain from being the fool.
We must assume that the absence of soldiers at the periphery of the palace,
Won’t repeat itself for us to use as a tool.

Let us sit for hours in thought,
Let us jot down the pros and cons.
Let us hope for the best but hold,
In mind that no future holds indicators or horns.

Friend, don’t you open the box anticipating,
That it will contain a jack as conveyed by an intimate.
Don’t you go venturing in the dense, desolate woods,
Before putting forth in the head and looking behind and ahead what you’re putting at stake.

Stack trust on the cultivation list,
But ensure that you can tell it from stupidity.
With an insight into the difference don’t go by mere wags of the tongue,
The world doesn’t believe in ‘to be or not to be’.

Let us not disdain by calling a pain,
Precaution and consideration.
Let’s bear in head that planning ahead,
Bestows on us fruits of consumable preparation.

Clandestine

Sometimes we wait too long, To speak our minds. We let lingering truths linger, We let sporadic clocks, chime.. We allow patient seams to fritter away Like a sparrow does with the timber of the tune That she was shrouded by; shrill words tearing  Ears, each word she utters, careful, today. While the first day it was a free reign, until Some unctuous winds carried to her, criticism. Just the same way as copper utensils in a house Of steel, are anyone's delight, until bronzed,  With wear and use, both are the victims Of sundry needs and glances. Just the same way, some things, Are stowed away in careful pockets Because they have borne a lot of perusing When kept in the open.  Like love. Like hurt. Like envy. Like silence. Trust and truth are two things I can list, That are given, that are l'habitude. I tell the truth because it is, it exists, It is what I perceive, it is what I've lived.. And I keep your trust, because I've learnt That it'll help you keep mine, it wil...

Predictability Plays Spoilsport

"Comfort's journey from the familiar to the unpredictable..." In the age of AI, if you are an AI Engineer like I am, you would swear by predictability. It's indispensable. We will find patterns in your genetic tree. We'll find them even in your whim of a Gulab Jamun or Barfi. We'll try to connect dots that are distant by miles. Yet, I'm here to tell you that we cannot afford predictability today. Sounds crazy and totally contradictory right? But I can be weird.   I'm here to tell you about randomness. I want you to experience it too. Well, you're smart people, readers. I may not be as smart. You know why we can't enforce patterns.   Someone will read them. Someone will exploit them.  Someone will feed them to an AI (Tool) and figure out what to do with them. You see what I mean? I'm being random. Randomness is not entirely useless.  I want to be equally random. I am stupid, gullible, naive and I'm wandering... You can say that I can be ...

Threads of One Fabric

We are all threads of one fabric- The fabric of the human experience. Embroidered by effort, dampened by tears, Emblazoned by ambition, creased by anger- We are all threads of the same single fabric- Which is the fabric of our human emotion. Emotions that flow, those that can't Those that sneak away, waiting to be discovered- And those that comfort us In times of distress. We are drawn by our emotions like puppets tied To a string- becoming caricatures in the live play Which is our every day life. And yet, it is  These emotions that define us. You, me , everybody- Tied together by shared experiences that are Composed of shared sentiment. And yet, pangs of doubt refuse to depart- Is that which I'm feeling, justified? Is it alright? I say to you- I think every feeling has a place. Yours, mine, theirs, everyone's. It's got a role to play. So don't hold it back, pin it down or push it away- There's a definite reason that it's here for you today. Differences defi...
