The Soliloquy of a Ghost

Looking over my mangled body

With the eyes fixed with fear

I weep for the beauty I never possessed

Draped in shadow, abandoned by nature

Where many had buried their futile tears

I lay in desolation, but not at rest



Out of the darkness, I crawl

Torn, I bleed in my mind

Unable to endure, I fall

Guilt and regret stains my hand

As all hope fades away

Your breath is a thing I can still recall



Your rash rude gaze mingled with fear

I stand, the wretched man

Squinting outside at dawn

My hunch turns to hope

Towards the light is where I ran

Will the morning glory make me newborn?



But my head is heavy and sore

With bells ringing in the dawn

I know I lie, I know I will die

My mind is a mess, and vision obscured

I try to look where you have gone

And because you live, so shall I

Random Musings on One Fine Morning


Today I have exactly completed 4 months in Chennai and we are also into the last month of the year. It seems so fast time has passed. Once I had this situation for another twelve times, I would be bidding adieu to another damn year. Why am I starting a post with another sorry and dull tale on how we are getting old and how miserable life is???....maybe coz I have a shitty job, I live in a lousy place in Chennai, or maybe coz I am a nutcase......Not that I am worried about it...and I hardly worry about anything…and these things would figure somewhere near the bottom in my list of things to worry about. Here is the list of High priority Problems which would put real pain in my buttocks in course of life.


1. Dying Old

2. A Nuclear War (with radiation all over you body, death cannot be more painful)

3. Global Warming (Now think about this: No Land for crops + heat that lets roast a Man

+ No Food ---->Human Cannibalism)

4. Dying doing the same shitty work as you are doing now.

5. Getting Married (to clarify, not getting married isn’t a problem but getting married is)


On the fifth point, most people get married with any cuckoo they lay their hands on, thinking nothing better will come along(which is also true), and then they end up spending a fortune on a stupid big wedding, which could have been spent more wisely on a VW Passat or on a Month Long trip to Europe. No one cares about weddings, I hate Wedding parties, it’s the most foolish way of wasting tons of money…..You want to blow away your money and of your parents too???, I will give you a better idea, Give The Money to Me...I will put it into far better use than you dumb heads can dream of.


Coming back to my time in Chennai, now some might feel that my job is a big piece of shit….but stop high-fiving you sadistic morons, b’coz it is the best one you will ever be able to get. To elaborate on my work experience in Chennai: I am getting paid for resting my ass on the office chair for 8 hrs a day and just to highlight a few things on my tough time in office……which included snoring at my office chair with an open mouth(disgusting?, I know), exaggerating all the lies in my resume to my office colleagues, feigning interest in whatever boring activities my superiors fill their weekends with, maintaining a fake smile frozen on my face when my Boss tries to say something funny…..and having done it for four long months, it has been tough to be my own slothful self. But hey!! No one is complaining, as long as I have my salary credited at the end of every month...and when I feel I have made enough money, I will give a thought about contributing something to the company revenue (Right now my contribution is in negatives, taking all the free coffee and other company freebies into account), and when I realize I had enough, I will leave and rob someone else.
