The guy by the window seat

The best part about train journey
is the window seat.
For instance, I become a paradox with a window seat.
Not the paradox that mind could think about, it's the paradox
that, only the heart knows.
The moving mountains, flying hair, 
'Tuhi re' playing along, the train's shakiness
putting me into sleep as the train sounds its 
Lullaby. Is someone singing along, or is it the train?

I wonder how perfectly Rahman's albums
frames its lyrics with the window, itself.
May be that's what moving keys on his piano mean.
Also, that's what a hypnotist does to you.
You're aware of your heart beat, not the senses; that you enjoy losing.

I am the guy who quotes 'the part about reaching the destination is its journey towards it'
I am the guy for whom R N Jayagopal songs has been written down for
I am the guy who puts paradox across the minds
Mostly, I am the guy by the window seat.

Feels terrible. The interval. Realization and the urge to get closer. The end. Finding the familiarity. The more I get lost, the more I find a part within me that I barely knew existed.

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
