Murphy's law


I see faint light
glimmering through
the hole of hope,
flickering incessantly.

I strive pretty hard 
to get back at you,
like a cuckoo popping
out every hour, reminding 
me of how eager I am at
the closed doors of your heart.

May be I shouldn't have met
you, in the first place.
Second of all, I shouldn't have 
dreamt about our children, 
our house, or anything with
you in it.

May be, you were my
favorite lesson
in my history class.
Just so you know, 
I used to hate history,
Only to eventually admire it now.

I stare at the flickering light
missing your palms 
and talk to myself 
Saying, whatever will 
happen, will happen.
And may be that's how 
I should be living.

A personal note on That Antha Eli- A Kannada Short Film

When you are with your friends just about talking, while the conversation skipping from one dissociated topic to the next, have you ever observed that it's the most boring, daily life incident narrated by that one friend that gets the group hooked and NOT the most flamboyant piece of information that another friend had to say? What do you think? Good oratory skills you may say, but that's just a tiny part of the whole incident. Well, then, you may say it's the incident itself that made the narration so interesting, you may counter, but then it's a boring incident, no? Perhaps It's the culmination of both the ideas- the tool used for narration (oratory skills/screenplay) and making the banal idea into the most interesting part of the story (tell what is necessary to your friends/editing) The idea of this short film sounds too flat when read on paper. So to make it sound vibrant, we thought, after several discussions on the location that we were going to the making fi
