Among the Stars: A Poem

  Conceived: 30 Aug, 2020 Completed and Recited: 29 Sep, 2020 With this poem, I attach a recitation which is my attempt at bringing a tune to it. Hope you enjoy. Shut the doors to my heart And hope that it's a start Can't really trust who you are  And I know I belong among the stars. Watch me raise the walls that I have built Against your words laced with gilt And when the gilt corrodes, a light is shone: The Universe is what I call my own. And yet you could be a treasure trove Sometimes the glitter can be gold And diamonds are made from coal; But remember you won't outshine my goal. Yes, I've seen the black and white  Changing days bring changing tides But 'til I know who you are I belong among the stars.

ऐ मेरे वतन के लोगों...

  February 6, 2022 marks the day Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar passed away, and what a loss it is.

The news of her death in itself is a shock, but the implications are what scared me even more. There are sentiments I associate with her passing that I was too afraid to voice before, but I don’t imagine there will be a better time for them.

What I really meant, I suppose, is that I still want to have music in this world that is more than just digitized voices and background noise to lose your mind to. I am partial to music that expresses emotions of more than what I hear in music that has been coming out since roughly 2015. (And I want to clari...

Kindness and Correctness

 Whoever said it was more important to be kind than right could not handle being served a conflicting belief. The sentiment reeks of a sore loser. Also, who said the two were separate? People can tell ruthless lies and the gentlest of truths. But if we want  to view the two as mutually exclusive, I think correctness trumps kindness. The way I interpret this, the underlying tussle is between maintaining interpersonal relations and reaching a workable conclusion. The world is often against the latter. Preferring interpersonal relations - choosing kindness - is a short-sighted goal. It appeases everyone for the time being, but it doesn't solve anything. The problem, argument or conflict will resurface. It may even become compounded. Eventually, there will be a point where kindness will not solve anything. However, correctness can be a bitter pill to swallow. This is especially true if correctness unearths a conflicting notion to long-held beliefs. In this case, one would naturall...
