Existential Absurd

Is it dusk or is it dawn? I ask myself always the same question When I wake up, it is always dark and the lights are never on I see a silhouette and not my reflection The dogs keep howling in my head, telling me I am wake But I keep silence, for your sake. Because you are still asleep and your eyes are closed But before 2, you never doze. You are dreaming, about your perfect world Beautiful hair on your face and the rest curled But is your world so perfect? Is it always bright? Chocolates and roses. never out of sight? Or is it like mine, where it's always dark? Maybe yes, but the dogs just bark. Are we the same, one side of a coin Where you are you and I am mine I hope it is a palindrome and some kind of spouse syndrome We are the same, beautifully insane.

Deal making is the primary job of every salaried employee, whether an office boy or the MD. Everyone is selling something to someone. And in the process, there are plenty of back and forth, negotiations, seeking approvals and getting to the *yes*. This process of selling or deal making is an art. There are numerous books which can help you enhance your skill sets and change your approach to have a successful closure. But there are a very few good reads or experts on restructuring deals. In my experience, restructuring and consequently the renegotiation that follow can test anyone's patience.

Experiences with the partners: When a deal is fresh, there is hardly any experience between the partners. The relationship is fresh and like most others, there is plenty of excitement. Post the deal, as time goes on, there are ups and downs in the agreements. The downs really lea...

“50!” “40!, I go everyday”, said Naina. Naina did go to Prizark Gardens everyday.   The cab driver agrees, not flinching, because he had dropped Naina twice in the last week. He drives 100 passengers daily, but with someone comes in with grey eyes, you don’t forget them.   Naina didn’t remember him. She hardly remembers anything. Her days are spent at the rugged Garden, her nights are spent in a small apartment, cuddled up with her Prince.   Prince was not allowed at Prizark. It isn’t permitted to bring your dog to the gardens. Humans are allowed but not all - only the ones with clothes on. The beggars wandered outside. They say the place reeks love during winter nights. The beggars hate love she had concluded. “Anything we love, is taken away from us”. Prizark Gardens is a strange place for many reasons. It only has grass the size you will find growing on your outer home walls. This makes it feel more immense. It covers about 20 Acres, but it ...

Favorite movie? Favorite actor, director? Yes, everyone has one. What about your favorite scene? A regular scene in a movie is around 4-5 mins long. Mostly part of the larger narrative, there a few scenes out there which are good enough to a be a short film themselves. What now I will describe is my favorite scene. The scene starts with an average looking guy asking for a lift to a wedding he is invited to. He sees a girl leaving the hotel and asks if he can have a drop off. The girl, a beautiful female who is entering her car, agrees to drop him. Cut to the drive scene. There is a lively pop song playing in the background, the girl is singing along while driving.

"The noise when you press your accelerator. It means there is wind in your engine" . You know what, just see the damn scene ra...
