Dot not get it

They did not get it. They just did not and would not get it until and unless he did something about it. What was to be done about it? A deep, deep psychological scalpel awaited all those who constantly went about the search of finding something they realized they lacked. As long as one did …

The Reawakening

At long last it had happened. A human being's perception of time, originally tethered to nature's cycles of day & night, change of seasons & wind speeds, had now coalesced around the standard mechanism of the clock. Across the world, from the most progressive civilization to the most regressive, the clock has been accepted as …

There is Nothing, Nothing is there

There was no joy, no anger, no feeling. There was nothing. There was no feeling, there was no pride, there was no angst, there was nothing. The man didn't feel anything. Madness gripped him out of nowhere, a spectre of debauchery haunted his thoughts every second. He wondered how much longer this would go on. …

Starr Comes Back

People come, people go; we think, we live & exist. The universe has its ways of communicating with us. It's expressed as people, signs, icons & other symbols or meanings that we use to make sense of the world around us. The individual who exists in his or her social collective is wired to think …

Thoughts in Time, Save Lives

The sunshine illuminated their grinning faces like the warmth of a rekindled friendship. Some of them could not remember the last time they had seen the sun. Drenched in its glow, surrounded by frolic, their skins wrapped in winter wear, the lawns seemed to have stirred their familiarity with the earth. The individuals watched the …

Happy Birthday, Starr

The sun gleamed for sometime and disappeared behind the clouds soon after. It behaved like someone who was isolated by the swarms of people around them; akin to empty shells, with one thought after the other, creating one emotion after another. Starr's voice reverberated in his head again, like it had been for the last …

Re-birth, Re-creation & Re-mind

The process of writing has actively shaped our evolution since the last 5000 years. When we think about events and happenings (we always want to know - what is going on?) on a daily, minute-by-minute level (thank you instant news and media), it is easy to loose track of how months, years, decades and centuries …

Open Minds Open The World

For as long as we can remember, we've had the feeling that there is too much happening around us. The truth is that most of it is noise. We know how a majority of the universe is composed of dark matter. Meaning, to say that a healthy part of the universe is composed of nothing. …

Calling the Cannabis Community of the World to Unite

Death and rebirth is all too often, happening around us all the time. Its the reason, when someone has "changed" after sometime, could be over days, weeks, months or years. That's because we change every second, from a biological point of view. New cells and neurons are being created constantly and used by our body …

Toxicated Energy, Toxicated Economy

Little by little, the energy was coming back. All it had taken was to cut down if not downright eliminate, energy-sucking activities. The nature of energy-sucking activities can be imposed on both mental and physical levels. For example: forgetting to have water in the right amount was an energy-sucking (neglecting, rather) activity over the long-term. …

Writing about Day 0

Time and again, the questions were the same. Once someone knew what to do, it was better to give one's all and be good at it, instead of pontificating and doing nothing. Its called 'living in the head'. Living in the head was for the ones who were shielded from the travails of being involved …

A Perfect Storm of Circumstances

There are many things an individual can potentially accomplish in their day to day lives. All change simply needs a subtle shift in thought. The nature of the thought will dictate how one takes the next step. There are many thoughts available for us to think on a daily basis. We often loose track of …

The Important Matters of the Day

Post the third edible, a calm wave of radiation seemed to pass over the immediate surroundings. He was the last one remaining inside the 'Nomads' office. The others had seen no reason to accompany him. They were happy and done for the day; when in fact the day had just started for him. Thinking was …

Cannabis and Crypto Lover

Sins had been able to source legal edibles last week. There had been too much 'concern' about 'drugs' in the national media from time to time, over the entirety of 2021. Why exactly were the masses 'concerned' with consciousness altering substances, he did not quite understand. Claims of 'immorality' and 'lack of culture' did not …

Back To Writing After a 5 Month Break

He had turned 27 years old a few days ago. He was feeling good about it. As if he were just getting started with his life. And what a life. Whenever, he heard the word 'life', his thoughts would drift to the monotonous senselessness that life had seemed to be, that had so plagued him …

Blazed Mind, Blazed New World

On one hand, his content feed was filled with news about 5G trials; the 'metaverse' led by Epic Games; companies raising millions of dollars for being valued at billions; stock market updates (where share prices reflect the 'future') and its disconnect from the real economy (where its about the 'present'); cryptocurrencies and so on; while …

Blazing for Individualism, not Groupism

The vagabonds started at him for a few seconds, made eye contact and then quickly looked away. A bit confused, and blazed out of his mind; he continued walking. They - all four of them - were dressed in clothes one could only term as pitiable; while he, a privileged, middle class fuck, was decked …

Living With Frustration and Acceptance

All around, he only sensed a never-ending sense of drudgery, stagnation and ruts of all kinds. Maybe it was the environment - summer was there; somedays it wasn't; or maybe it was the never-ending stream of news that contained only gloom, doom and everything in between,; he didn't know for sure. But constantly, on a …

The World Is Ours; By The Powers, Where We Will, We Roam

His head was going haywire and he couldn't concentrate, try as he could with all his might. . He had decided to order cold coffee. He had been having exactly 200 ml of it every morning since the last 2 weeks, and he was feeling as if he had developed a healthy tolerance to coffee …

Brain Fog, Brain God, Brain on Pot

As I trip hard writing this; it is prudent to mention that there lies a deep, deep angst buried within me; in the deepest recesses of my brain; where many ugly things lie in wait and reach the surface of my thoughts from time to time - hate and lust to name the two main …

Tripping Away on Taking it Easy

The morning sun rays felt good on his face. As if he were being blessed. He imagined a figure clad in white robes, invisible; standing next to him. Why exactly, he could not say at that point of time. But he got a strong feeling that he was being watched by someone. Maybe a neighbour …

Thinking the Thought and Blazing Away

The drudgery seemed never ending. Try as he could, it felt as if he were running out of energy, time and things that served to motivate him to get up every day and so something, anything. He could not understand what was happening to him. Everything felt fine, but everything also felt not so fine. …

Start Again, Start Again

The sun rays gave him goosebumps. He could hear the rays call out that it had been well more than a month. Exactly why, he did not know, because he was not interested in thinking at that moment. In fact, thinking was all he did, all the time. Many things bothered him everyday. Too many …

Tripping on Capitalism and Altered Conscious States

A section of people in many countries (any country for that matter. Any country of the 200 odd total) feel that elected governments should not be questioned about any decision they take. Another equal if not more amount of people, feel that every decision of the elected government taken in any context is to be …
