October: The Season of Existence 🍁

Tell me, have you seen me cry? Tell me, have you seen me take a humble round out of sheer happiness? Tell me, have you seen me disappear every other day like a crumble of smoke puffing out of the chimney attached to that fireplace that might have warmed up with flames a century ago? Tell me, what exactly have you seen?
Just the very yesterday, I sniffed a rotting smell from the other side of a closed door. It was a stale gruelling smell of death. It was unbearable. A few days passed away like that. I got myself familiar and adjusted with that decomposing whiff. It somehow started to get into the domestic flow. A few days went in that way like an accepted discomfort. But then that day, we found a stray cat, whom I used to call "Lennon" laid there all dead and frozen. I couldn't get a glimpse of his lifeless face but saw some flies rushed out of the room, unnoticed.
So tell me what have you seen? Is it always too conditional to consume whatever is there in front of our sight? Can't we happen to look right over what is not there? Once, a few years back, I was travelling somewhere on a train. It was a chilly night in December. The compartment was hollow with a hushed hue of snoring and blues. I was lying on my seat all tired and awake. The earphones of my iPod were stuck in my ears but all could hear was the hurled sound of railway tracks lining below me, moving me, carrying me, taking me to an unknown destination. But was I even there? At that moment? In that sleep stricken train bogie? Where was I hanging then? Where am I hanging now? Why do I only see myself in the past moments, where I wasn't actually alone? Tell me, have you seen me anywhere? Was I there with you yesterday? If I wasn't then where was I? And who was that embodied entity of mine with you in the past moments?
October. Octobers summoned such striking curiosity. The curiosity of entity. I am curious to know about the fall I never happened to see on my own. But I was there. My existence was there in the conjunction of living and unconsciousness. I see myself walking on the damp road of late October piled up with dead maple leaves. I saw myself walking through a fairly dense forest where I might come across a small cottage showing its presence of liveliness with an entwined chain of dimming bulbs and wrath of reeks hovering above the ridge. I saw myself knitting tiny woollen covers for my cats who usually spend their days chasing insects or dozing on the sofa kept aside at the late hour of the afternoon. Tell me, Can you see me there? Well... Maybe not. But you can see yourself on the verge of late autumn, sitting all alone by the shutted window counting the visible stars, reading your favourite poetry 5th time that day, stuffing warm succulent meatballs induced in a spicy broth, looking for your scarf of bad habits, lifting yourself from the struggles you are growing through, living the day and leaving behind yesterday. 
So tell me.... Could you see yourself now? Did you find it? Is that you? If not... then don't frazzle up. It might be just another nightmare. Or... It might just be another bad, brooding, lifeless October. A season of fall 🍁...

Why isn't my 'Present' speaking anymore?

There is always this fine line between living and dying, and that line is called our Present. Once I heard a faint voice whispered into my ears which coherently spoke about some stories of Yesterday Supper time. But I could not compose those words because I was merged into this vast eternity of blue glistening sky above me which was living at that moment. Most of the time I had always let these moments slip away out of my fists but that day I could not resist myself to dive into that immense airspace. Yes, I may have felt the hushed existence of someone standing behind that door at my back, waiting for me to turn around, but something that day stopped me. That day I comprehended that when we turn back towards the days that we had already left behind on the crevices of unbearable suffering, let us go back to those past moments that beckoned us and showed us the traps of nostalgias, are those days that we made us owned by our memories. We are owned. We pushed ourselves to be owned by our memories. We got nowhere else to go and thus are left with the choice of being stocked by the cage of our immortal corpses. We are forced to be locked up within our consent. Similarly, there are days when you desired to be breathing heavily by standing on the edgiest summit of your determined destination but in reality, you found yourself to be sitting on your claustrophobic bed breathing heavily and holding yourself to be calmed down by the emotional breakdown that might occur any moment and will wash out your existence forever from this Universe. Your days ahead, your sunshine sparkling on the daisies of your dream field may be pretending as the mirage of the forthcoming dictatorial future that would chain you up like a slaughtered creature and you may never live like before again.... 
Why are we peeking into our past? Why are we worrying and losing ourselves every single parting moment in the fear of tomorrow? Who is there any way? In the past? We aren't even there anymore! In the future? We haven't even taken birth yet! You are not there. Not "anymore", not " yet". You are "Here!". You were always "Here". You are living. You are breathing here. You are witnessing the honey melting out of the honeycomb, you are witnessing the shivery yawns and pukings of your dear beloved little kittens, you are drinking cool lemonade out from your shinny glasses, you are missing someone you never have met in your life, you are missing someone who was there with you Yesterday, you are letting yourself gliding out from your fears, you are living now. You are alive. You are so much alive. You are 'Here'. You always were. 🌾

Evening of Affections 🌇

There was a continuous rambling on the iron door knocker and a very ancient man was sitting by the window looking outside, just near to the door. That man was deaf. Not by any disabilities occurred to him due to biology but by society. This is what we are affected with these days; terrible society. And our scattered affections remain fallen off like a turned old book by the side of an empty jar which once belonged to some sort of sweets. Now nowhere to be found in the bazaar anymore. We are losing our affections, our smiles, our satisfaction like an evening, which was dead already. In exchange to that, we are forced to listen to the shouting of ambulances on the irregular roads, as they are not taken care of anymore. The rambling on the door knocker was still there. Far away a girl was heard playing the harmonium "āύীāϞ āφāĻ•াāĻļে āĻ•ে āĻ­াāϏাāϞে.. āϏাāĻĻা āĻŽেāϘে āĻ–েāϞা āϰে āĻ­াāχ.. āϞুāĻ•োāϚুāϰি āĻ–েāϞা..।" A setting evening, singing about hiding and fresh mornings! This is how we are sniffing and munching for dreams. Society is killing our dreams but our evenings are giving birth to them secretly, 'hiding' behind the beliefs of an orthodox lantern, lighted for the homes. 
Those lanterns are then carried inside the house where a very old familiar song was mingling in the choking air of the 'home'.. the words of that song were something like this .."Kabhi humme-tumme bhi chah thi, kabhi humse tumse bhi raah thi.. Kabhi hum bhi tum bhi the ashna, tumhe yaad ho, ki na yaad ho.." What pleasing lines to mourn, to cry, to whisper in the void about. The door knocker was still hitting the door! Suddenly a crystal white Saari, breaking herself into the plague of impatience peeped from the roof towards the rear to enquire after this rambling. There was no one. But a child racing and paddling on his new bicycle. That kid was happy. He is contained with incomplete and growing up affections like a lightning up of a street light to fear out the stale affections of a closed-door with no door knocker, broken lanterns on the rooftop storeroom and a torn brown saari which was heavy with the sweat of the entire summer day. 
Who was singing again? Who was sitting by the window? There was no stereo. No harmonium. Yes, someone is sitting by the side of the window. A cat with a bushy tail and a pair of big eyes. Contained with affections and Melancholy of Akhtari. 🌅

Pahari Sanyal Cafe 🏞

"There is your gumti.. On that.. No.. No.. Not there, on the left side of the road.. Yes... behind that broken house. Yes."
Like this, we are instructed to our destiny. Funny thing is that we are unfailingly aware of where we are headed to but are always distracted by the journey.
PAHARI SANYAL CAFE!
Strange name.. Isn't it? It's a cafe. Umm.. Well, not a "cafè" cafe, just a cafe on the lap of an unknown hill station. It's a cocoon for runners who ran away from their homes, a gramophone for failed musicians scribbling old songs, again and again, expecting for a dash of tune, a diary for a lone traveller who is recording every sight of what he has observed over the past decade, the last leaf for a dead tree, a blue envelope for a hiding revolutionist, the last umbrella left by a customer two rainy days before, a feeling of numbness choking a news correspondent. The old man was found on the last evening stirring Maggie and scrambled eggs slowly, very slowly, on a frying pan. The cafe was quite. Customers were eating silently. Suddenly a little girl pushed the front door and entered inside. She brought a pocket full of misty fog coming down from the dark tops along with her. The old man scolded her mildly "aamu! why did you leave your bed? You are still on your fever!" The girl sniffed her nose and cleaned it with her trousers. She smiled and headed towards the counter. She handed her little pocket radio to him and told him, " Listen Daaji, your favourite song is coming on the station! Listen listen!" The old man simmered the gas and tried to listen minutely. But he could not compose the music. The signal was horrific! A man from a table near the window called out "Another cup of tea Sanyal da!" The girl raised her hand and told him that she is coming and then raise the tea kettle from the counter and went ahead. The old man coughed loudly and then along with the radio went towards the window behind. The mountain looks like a home of tiny twinkling stars or lights. Those lights belong to someone's existence. A drunk man far away on the bends of the mountain was found to be singing indistinctly about his broken shattered love. The old man standing by the side of the window listening to the radio silently. The broken radio station was only able to mumble these words "⤕ि⤤⤍े ā¤—ā¤šā¤°े ā¤šā¤˛ā¤•े,ā¤ļाā¤Ž ⤕े ⤰ं⤗ ā¤šै ⤛⤞⤕े,ā¤Ē⤰ā¤Ŧ⤤ ⤏े ⤝ूँ ⤉⤤⤰े ā¤Ŧाā¤Ļ⤞..⤜ै⤏े ⤆ँ⤚⤞ ā¤ĸ⤞⤕े.." The rest was not needed anymore for that dying evening. Winter assembled on the lap of ridges silently. 🍀
