Thundering Silence

 The beauty goes unnoticed,

of silence and of peace.

I keep gulping the poison,

of words I do not speak.

 

I witness the evil,

I hear that too.

And I unhear the shrieks and screams,

of chaos within my soul.

 

I silence what is sacred,

for the sake of survival.

I silence what is venomous,

for the sake of goodwill.

 

And I often battle with myself!

Could a war be waged,

or anger poured out,

or burning tears assuaged?


But then, I silence the chaos,

the words too silenced.

Neither an emotion is hurt,

nor a soul avenged.



And if silence is the sword,

eyes and ears shall bleed

The mercy of truth,

shall the souls plead.

    I oppose your silence. Silence after boundary violation isn’t strength — it’s surrender. Healing starts when u transfer the pain, shame, fear and weakness to where it actually belongs to. Your silence is still going to empower even though they know that truth could destroy them. Because 1. Fear of truth is not the same as facing it. 2.Silence protected their reputation, never your peace. 3. You choose not to act.-That choice keeps the power imbalance alive.

    They are empowered by your silence not because they’re fearless, but because she hasn’t forced them to face their fear.

    The power of silence is better understood by the person who has gone through war, within or otherwise!

The Grand Baton

  My journey as a defence aspirant started way back in 2017. I got my first green flag for the SSB interview in May 2019 after clearing my written examination, which is the first screening test of intelligence. I was recuperating from Typhoid and had lost all my hopes despite having been preparing for it since February, because, my health had taken a complete U-turn and I was out of shape. My father sensed the reason for my disinclination, as he had seen me in full spirits just weeks before my reporting date. He requested one of his friends back from his school days to guide me and encourage me. He made a call from the office informing me that Sir had made some space to connect with me from his schedule. Anticipating some relief, I made a call to Col M P Dinesh Nair, who was already aware of the whole situation. After a call of about 20-25 minutes, I felt a bout of energy in me, keeping aside the fact that I was not still healthy enough to undergo a 5-day interview process of asses...

In Pursuit of Delusion

Today, let me be lost Nowhere to be found, Nowhere to be seen. Let my existence be a delusion, And let my past be a myth. Today, let me be no soul Let my body have no structure, Let my heart have no beats, Let me have no flesh and blood, Let me have no air to breathe. Today, let me come from nowhere, And have no place to reach. Let me have no name, Let my design be no species, Let my blood be no colour, Let no gender define me. Today, let me be forgotten No proofs be found in papers and concretes. No trace be found in hearts and minds. No content of mine is known or read, No time be my witness, No context defines me. Let only the land know where I travelled. Let the water decipher my silence. Let the air feel the touch of my skin. Let the stars track my directions. Let the sun shield my shadows. Let the moon keep my secrets. Let me be unknown to humanity, Let me be unknown to humankind.                             ...
