Lonely in a crowd

-
If I can call them for cigarettes and alcohol
That being the scope of our reunion
While talking about trips and adventure together
Out of nowhere, priority comes into consideration.

Probably friends are meant to be people
Limited to certain interests and thoughts
Then why shouldn't we forget all of them
And pretend to colleague that we love them the most?

Perhaps boundaries won't stay then
Between personal and professional
Also, there will be no competition or envy,
Turning office into an home will be rational then.

I have surpassed the age
Of emphasising on fancy terms like 'fake friends'.
There is some worth in safeguarding than blending in
Which I am aware of that it goes against the trends.

The only person I know doesn't talk to me
Poor Conscience, I thought him to be an angry hound
Feasting upon the past but it turned out to be mute
Leaving me all lonely in a crowd.

GCEK Horror Stories CASE-1

The sky had a vast sea of clouds floating in it with the rays of sunbeams traversing in distinguished harmony through them. Me and my roommates, were having a casual walk around the campus. It was in the fresher year when people try hard to make selections for their life partners or friends with similar interests. We three belonged to the normal community of nothingness and mostly remained within our circle. It was around six in the evening and my roommates, both belonging to the same section, were reminded of the need to buy some stationery material from the town. They boarded the bus and I was left all alone.  Thinking about the lake behind the hostel, I made a quick decision to go to the spot. I had been there once before, for taking bath with my friends but in the evening, nobody would go there without purpose. So I made way through the little gap beneath the campus boundary and climbed upwards to the railway tracks and began walking slowly enjoying every charm o

Writing through the engineering days

The scenery of rain drops slipping on the slides of leaves gives me nostalgia of my engineering days. It was 2015 when I took admission in an engineering college. Continual rain over the days had filled in all the low lying areas beside road leading from the main gate to the hostel. My father had just dropped me off at my newly, temporarily and partially owned property. One of the bed was unoccupied and in another, my senior roommate slept covering himself with blanket from top to bottom. My room was on fourth floor. It was drizzzling and through the sprinkled glasses of the window, I gazed at the hills on the other side. There were four of them in view, so I saw in them my family photo which hung up on the drawing room walls back at my hometown. The big ones were my parents ofcourse and the small ones- me and my brother. All my life I had remained secluded from friend circles but being alone in a new area of strangers where you don’t identify a ghost was a terrible feeling

Inexperienced adulthood

Like the earth held on to the counting droplets and made lakes, rivers and oceans  I shall hold on to the fragments of joy, despair and imagination for who knows they might become an identity  See, the boy who remained committed to art The person who never followed most trends with his generation  Then young fellows come up once a while Whom nobody in the world understands Sometimes due to the age they are in and sometimes because the listener never fought the battle themselves  Somehow my heroism is never encouraged, but exemplified how a man understood and fought for his values  I tell the young kids all  Cousins or nieces and nephews  Why I render their parents stupid  Why listening to the heart is as important as applying the brain  How to deal with the long letters getting delivered but never been responded  And many other things whose learning hasn't arrived yet  But they are all on the way  There are no wise men who have known it all  And even if they did, then what's th
