This thought hasn't occured the first time. The closing walls of solitude, pushing their way boldly, without hindrance to crush my being. My will has left me, i can't fight these solid walls that threaten the peace of my mind. The truth is out there, the shadow of loneliness that has cast a gloom over the landscape. Feel abandoned sometimes, alone amidst a crowd. A lone warrior, left to face the world that has long turned its back on him.

How must the warrior go on?? How to sustain the truth that resides within? The answers are numerous. Go out, enjoy yourself, loosen up, all these come in volleys. My conciousness flickers and falters but steadily burns to ward off these attacks upon its very essence.

The truth must be accepted. The bitter pill must be swallowed. I cannot get out. Not because i can't, but because i choose not to. I don't know why, but the life of a recluse beckons me, but yet the yearnings of the world are still too strong. And so i live, so i reason with the limitlessness residing within for the demarcated world outside.

I am alone, cold , and withdrawn. There are souls that are near me, but reside far away. Their spirits locked away in bodies in places further off on land or sea. I choose not to think about them, lest i feel alone.

This entry is an ode to all those that feel lonely at some point of time or the other. Or people who choose to stay alone because they either haven't met anyone or have not felt the overpowering urge to meet , once they are touched by a soul from the outer recesses of their inner sanctum.

Productivity is a point of the matter. How do we ascertain the productivity of a person? And more importantly, how can anyone dream of becoming productive in the Hustle Bustle of today. Feeding our lives incessantly to these giant corporations, trading our last values and souls for the industrial devil.

So this is what it has finally come to. People no longer see the side of reason that constantly urges for a life that is untouched, rather we are drowning in a deluge of mass consumerism and no one seems to realize, but a precious few. Our present generation is still awake, to a certain extent, but our suceedors will suffer for the short sightedness of their predecessors, whose legacy we slowly and unconsicously are adopting.

Think! my fellow men and women. What has this blind consumerism and militant industrialization got you? We all start with aspirations and dreams, but a closer look only betrays us, because we start off by first conforming ourselves to a standard. The current system is so masked, that nowadays rule breakers, anarchists, and the like have disappeared. The government too is not visible, but it silently pulls the strings.

We are a gullible lot, because we have always played around the rule. Going by the view that more the better, little realising that it is to an extent unsustainable. Engineers earlier were rule breakers, exceptional people, inventors to an extent, fine technical minds, and what do we have now? Their predecessors, a bunch of incompetent fools with no aim or inkling of anything technical, just having a qualification to have a graduation certificate.

We no longer produce humans, we just produce numbers to fuel the so - called growth. Where is it? That fickle thing that they call growth? Is it something that is read off the share market chart??? Is it something so significant??

What about human growth? It is denied….it is pushed under the carpet, or displayed on some fancy furniture (gathering dust) just to show how much the developed countries do to alleviate the pain and suffering by pouring money, but not help. By being under the misconception that money solves age - old problems.

Wake up!
