The Art of Letting Go
The art of letting go, isn't hard to master Yet, I have never seen any of its Master. 24 hours awake. Smoking 31st cigarette since I last woke up. 12 hours of continuous work. At this point, I am half dead and half alive. But, a message gave me energy to write it all. I have stopped opening up your chats, as I have archived them. But as usual, I remember you in different ways before I go to sleep. Sometimes, I listen to Parveen Shakir. Other times, I make up scenarios. I had no hope of getting an update from you. But, this time came a link. I am not writing this to convince you of anything. Just to tell you, some phases of life, love, lust, and other things.

Solo Rides. Content Warning.
Solo Rides give the best company. I am alone in my loneliness walking through the meadows and on the roads. I feel like am a grown up. But in fact, I am just a toddler transcending a few steps in the vast meadows of this cosmos. The roads, the cities, everything seems beautifully irrelevant. The villages and their chirping sounds, the smokes from the houses all just ask me the same thing that I look like a stranger. And the stranger I am, whom nobody knows. The gaze I get from the people intrigues in me a sense of oblivion. And I ask, what a well-known stranger I am to myself. I aspire to explore the world, but in fact exploring myself will turn me into a much better explorer.

Why Do Books Tell Us?
I don't love to read books. I live to read books. It always surprises me to see people who have never read a book apart from academia. It always struck my head what life is like to them? Imagine living a life without ever realizing what life is about. What would be the hands like if they have never been placed upon the page of a romantic love story.
