| Introduction | someday... someday I will walk down that road that eludes me so often... eludes me, yet calls out in the enchanting voice with their claims of solitude and promises of anonymity... someday I will walk the familiar streets of that unvisited city where all the yesterdays seem to have taken refuge... someday, I will listen to that unheard song that have kept me awake so many nights.... someday, I will walk by those familiar strangers and think of those old faces that crowded my memories... someday, I will leave these streets where I had skinned my heart and knees and take the forbidden road... and away from friends and family rediscover what I let go... what I lost... what lost me... someday I will feel all that I have felt... again... someday, I'll think of all that I have thought... all that I've known.... loved... hated... liked... lost... and that day.... someday... there will be no more regrets... the memories won't sting anymore... that day... I will have come full circle... someday, I'll come to terms... with what has been... what is... and what will never be... with myself... someday... when I've walked that extra mile... I'll be home... someday… |
| Interests | phonology, programming, nietzsche, travel, martial arts, Calvin, computers, philosophy, Bob Dylan, abstract art, Descartes, digital designing, impressionism, web, hard rock, modernist poetry, neo-classical romanticism, satanism, saxophone, counter-culture, Apple Inc., and sundry other paradoxical whims! I love books more than people ( and quite unabashedly so)- I enjoy almost anything from Tolkien to Rowling, to Eliot. But I tend to stick with James Joyce and Sylvia Plath...I simply adore the 'riddle in nine syllables', and I'm not quite sure I have figured it out yet. I obsess about martial arts and sharp shooting, and at one point of time I trained in karate, judo, kobudo, wushu and san shou (Chinese heavyweight boxing). At the NCC I trained with a H&K- B731, and one of my regrets is not getting my hands on a Dragunov. I specialize in writing poems that can be only properly described as 'emo-crap'... I have long suspected that my poetic urges originate from my overt fondness for Rum and Absinthe. My mom firmly believes that if you were to stab me I will be bleeding green ( read Absinthe). |
