Edit 2025 ' P.S: This post was triggered by Maladaptive Day Dreaming, a coping mechanism for people not satisfied with their realities at all and deny any such malady for themselves.

Hungry Baby

kitchen once when Pk was at work A song, not a poem. Dedicated to my younger brother, who gifted me a coffee maker this year so that I can make better coffee, just like he could even without a coffee maker. Lyrics of Hungry Baby Not Camera Shy He steps out of his door, knocks on my room once more, goes to the kitchen and things start looking shadyy.....

If you find yourself walking a tight rope between practicality and idealism, this is no answer but a Pandora's box of questions you should never avoid. These thoughts would make more sense to you if you watched the 2001 crime thriller, Moksha by Ashok Mehta, starring Arjun Rampal and Manisha Koirala. I remember when I fell in love for the first time. When my heart, body, and mind finally confessed and yielded like an overflowing dam. When I would often find my soul dancing in my body. I was intoxicated. I was convinced, and I am still convinced. No one can love like me. There is no one as crazy, as loyal, as smitten, as definite, as loving, as accepting and as powerful as I can be in love, in separation, in longing, in death.
