Walker & The Dark

Walker Walker was neither a Lion nor a Lion cub. He was an adolescent bursting with hormones. He was already a whimsical Butterfly painting life gay with his iridescent wings, with a wise old Owl soul within his heart of a Cow jailed by an iron Hyena heart guarded by Vultures. Walker was all, and yet, none. He managed to identify with everybody, yet not totally with anybody, even himself. But Walker was not God, as no one is, but only human that led to him rushing headlong into disaster, taking others with him, but emerging unscathed, alone, as he finally found God, himself, albeit in a form opposite towards which he had aspired. The Dark This story is about an old poor writer’s wisdom and...

Predator & Prey

The red-haired emerald-green eyed Irish American is waiting to die on a mountain-top… under a starlit sky in front of a blazing fire, surrounded by his three imaginary friends: the moth, the chameleon, and the eagle. As he phlegmatically looks back at the adventurous, globe-trotting life he has led, his diary entries, which he had penned during the course of his journey, take us through the important milestones in his life. What could have possibly led him to where he is now? Why is he contemplating suicide? Will he take the final plunge? Predator & Prey looks at life as Yin & Yang. It artistically and philosophically explores psychology, humanity, God, and ultimately, space, time, and the universe, with the aim of making sense of what we call life.

Life Unshackled

Rudra’s life, until he met Krupa, a commercial sex worker, was shackled, and lacking light was filled with darkness. Rudra was a teetotaler, but he haunted a dingy dim-lit bar, sipping soft drinks. Rudra did not expect anything from the women of the world’s oldest profession, but he walked a street where they waited to be picked up. Rudra craved, paradoxically, not only for solitude in darkness but also for a ray of non-interfering company in his lonely life. Rudra’s behavior was the result of a dysfunctional milieu’s conditionings, which had started attacking him right from kindergarten, and continued to do so all through the duration of his first job after graduation, until his unconditional love for Krupa enabled him to challenge and vanquish them. Rudra’s life finally walked unshackled, from the bondages of dark conditionings, proudly in the light with Krupa who also freed herself from her misery aided by his moral courage.

Politics – A Love Story

In this work, a fine needle with a strong thread runs through politics, death, love, parallel universes, poems, a new style of campaigning for elections, and its results. This is not a book about ethics and morality in politics, but only about how reality rules supreme over both. Truth is, it is sometimes ethical and moral, and sometimes it is not. Everything depends upon the necessity of the concerned parties. As of love, it is a peacock’s feather caught in a tornado

DO: The Fourth Musketeer of Lust, Love, and Life

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, where kingdoms are abound with mystical elements, there lived a prince who was about to begin the journey of his lifetime—a journey in search of the simple Truth. Young Do, the son of a brave soldier-turned-king, embarks in search of IP, the magical Inverse Prism which would make diverse ones one. Having been aimless for much of life, battling addiction and struggling with his forgetful nature, he believes that discovering IP will not just solve his problems, but also bring into existence an ‘ideal society’. Aided by his best friends, The Three Musketeers, as well as the love of his life, The Rainbow Woman, Do becomes the Fourth Musketeer in this ultimate journey, a journey he deems to be the purpose of his life. The more he sees people convincing themselves of the ‘untruths’, the more determined he becomes in his search. However, the cost of seeking simplicity seems to be complexity. Where will this path lead Do? From a prince to a musketeer, what more is in store for him? ‘DO’ is a philosophical fairytale trying to find the best through the worst and making the magical ideal the possible real.

A Writer’s Zen

Raj is a writer who is like a wildflower. He lives far away from the crowd. A haiku to emphasize: Does a wildflower Expect to be in world’s eyes Appreciated? He has extreme empathy for the characters in the story he has begun to write. He also asks too many questions of himself. These above two factors combined with his years of solitude finally force him to change his lifestyle to bring about a satisfactory ending to his story and new love into his life. That is why a Zen proverb says: In Zen, We don’t find the answers. We lose the questions.

Bhakti sans Religion - Dilemmas in the Search of One's True Inner Self

There is only one God. Unfortunately he is surrounded by infinite veils of sophisticated lies and subtle misdirections, Maya. These veils are harder to shred since we have been conditioned to adapt to the materialistic world with its innumerable religions which preach kowtowing to different external gods as salvation to our horrendous internal needs. But the reality is that, only faith and platonic unconditional love, both of which together result in devotion, are sufficient to attain bliss if that devotion is concentrated upon an aesthetic object of devotion, without letting even a single stray thought to enter into the peace within oneself, until the object of devotion becomes one with one’s true inner self, which is nothing but the reflection of Brahman, the Atman, which in a rightful spiritual manner becomes one with the Absolute.

Buddha In A Mercedes

It was an unforgettable journey. I travelled in a fast car. A Mercedes. But I would rather have walked, for life whizzed by and the traveller was left with just a tourist brochure… The drive was a rush, like the kiss long-lost lovers exchange when they meet. The journey was short, like love’s pleasure blindsided by lust. I didn’t stop to think that there could be an alternative… a stroll down the countryside… …reached my destination without the necessity to get somewhere…

A Mariachi & A Philosopher On Wheels ~ A Poem

What do you get when there is a philosopher who loves to gain a better understanding of his true inner self by involving himself in the outer world to its fullest, whose brain is at its sharpest when he is experiencing the best while driving his car, and a musician who loves to celebrate every moment of life by singing and playing his guitar—both of whom are flatmates and the best of buddies with down to earth attitudes and charming personalities. One fine day, out of the blue, the musician confides in his chum his heart is yearning to desperately leave the metro and go to his village in another State which is quite far away, for a family reunion and the only option is by road but he doesn’t want to take a taxi. The default result is a purely fantastic road trip with outward sensory, but most importantly, soul searching and soul satisfying experiences and rewards for both the philosopher and the mariachi on wheels.
