Intro

"The lesser you fathom,
The more you don't,
But for the more you do, 
Greater you don't."

                                        -Klaus Wolfgang

Have you ever looked at some everyday event/thing and were blown away by the sheer complexity and wonderful things that happen to make it do what it does?
  
Do you think about idealistic/ impossible scenarios and just get lost in the complexity of what could be, and forget what is? 

I find myself pondering about abstract philosophy, existentialism and hypotheticals and journaling helps me structuralise what my mind shows in my 'Kopfkino'. (A cinema in a person's mind....yes, the Germans have a word for that)

This blog contains thoughts ranging from epiphanies to shower thoughts which occur to me and the ways I douse the incessant flame of ambiguity.

Every time I get lost in such self-woven worlds, arguments with my alter ego or succumb to existential crisis, It becomes unsettling to not save the thoughts down. Hence this blog. 

So take a seat, get comfortable. You are now in my Kopfkino.

An Ode to Rain

  An Ode to Rain “So what’s your favourite time of the year?” she asked, swinging a crossed foot lazily in the air, as she swirled a stirrer in a tiny cup of hot chocolate. Perhaps the time when I used to lick melted drops of vanilla from the back of my hand? blind to the fact that I was painting a modern art piece on the pavement with ice cream. What a charming memory.  Summer, I should say.  What about the little shivers my feet do, tucked away in the layers of heavy blankets, while my nose and ears complain of the biting cold to my toes.   Hot soups, lazy mornings, clouds from the mouth when I speak and hoodies with cosy pockets to slide my hands into.  Winter beats summer, surely.  To be fair, I was born in spring, the perfect gradient from the cold seasons to hot summers. Just the right temperature, reasonably humid with a drizzle of rain here and there. It had never been dramatic enough to create a lasting memory of itself though. Glancing out the caf...

My Notes-app Up For Auction

It’s a late night with Alex Turner on full blast in my ears, never on the speakers though.  To make others around feel the full weight of unsolicited emotion of music, feels wrong. Who am I kidding, perhaps they don’t feel a thing. How rude. The flair of words seems to have abandoned me today so it’ll be bare bones. I find myself constantly backspacing the words I type with a vigour. A quickly written sentence followed by a slight pause full of fear, before my finger reaches out to the delete button on the far right. Desperately trying to put the tarp back on naked emotions uncovered bare. No more backspacing though. I’ve even gotten rid of the Grammarly extension. It shows me how a sentence rephrased, sounds more assertive but I digress. Enough fine tuning. Times like these I wish I had a typewriter. Imagine a canvas pedestal with hands, pointing to the parts where the acrylic paints fail to smudge. No one would ever pick up a paintbrush. Okay, enough rambling. This would have bee...

To Sculpt a Poem

Sometimes, I wish I was Michelangelo.  I wish I could see the angel, Before I set her free from the stone,  My mind. But alas, I am no sculptor nor painter. Us writers, we are magicians, mages and warlocks. Conjuring words from thin air, Stringing them together as we go. Sometimes,  I wish I could peek at her tender hands through the uncut rock. So I may chip away stone day and night to carve them to perfection. But, I possess no hammer, chisel nor rake. Sounds trapped in letters. Letters stitched to form words. Words which I must now weave, Into a warm winter blanket that shall not exist in the real world. The real world.. where it's cold. Ah yes. Words. They are the only tools I wield. How do I ever see my creation like Michelangelo saw his angels, When I am being asked to embrace her, Before I pour life to her very inception? - P.S
