A guy who writes better than he speaks. Trying to destigmatize not speaking to anyone at all. Is it asking for too much?

#OpenPoetry The In-betweeners I am one of those lucky few Those lucky few who are somewhere in between I am the connecting dot between two generations I am a hinge between ‘Gen X’ and the ‘Millenials’ I am the aesthetics of the 90s I am also the liberal of the 2000s I am one of those who would not sleep Not sleep because a show on ‘Cartoon Network’ was next I am also one of those who subscribes to ‘Netflix’ every single month I went from from watching Sachin Tendulkar say "aila" To now Virat Kohli say "MC BC" all the time I went from collecting Marvel comics as a kid To now watching Avengers freaking Endgame I am two generations immersed as one Having seen both The humane touch to existence And also the overpowering technology I am the pre cell phone era One who would wait near the only telephone for a call I am also the one who tweets, shares and posts All at the drop of a hat I am one of those lucky few Those lucky few who are somewhere in between I am not fully apathetic to ‘mental health’ As apathetic as my predecessors were Nor have I become totally detached Totally detached as the future is I have seen growth Been a part of it Long enough to understand Understand the change Understand the implications Which should make me a responsible citizen For I am the hinge that connects And it is only me who can say That I have seen the beauty of change While retaining the aura of the old

.. Because when you've grown up You're merely loitering in limbo This limbo is akin to death Death: not the one that kills you Death of a different kind Death, the first one...

Opinionated. I am. Never before has the opinion been empowered As the times we live in today Tweet your thing in 140 Or put up dreamy Instagram captions Or perhaps maybe, just maybe create a poem out of your opinion Camouflage it with complex hyperbole Just so that no one gets offended, you know Whilst we live in a world with supposed freedom of speech Voicing your opinion can now cost you jail terms and a hefty bail Not to forget, the countless counter arguments and death treats that tag along All at the pretext ot your opinion not aligning with mine Where is the notion that one could agree to disagree? And not be butthurt at every opinion that could go against you Oh but then we like calling each other sarcastic names Trolling and victimising We are 1.2 billion brains Some functioning, some not so much Demographics say that we ought to differ Our opinions should and must differ Online discourse today has never been so taxing A slight deviation from the popular opinion and one shall be vindicated Vindicated to a barrage of hate Disgusting grammar and spelling mistakes notwithstanding Perhaps a more civilized discourse would have made sense But then, one uping the other party has always been the trend Also, mother sister abuses that come along with it Maybe, a civil discussion online is what we need But is that far fetched? So far fetched that one could call it utopian?

Oh dear transition I move, I run and I crawl Along with you, my ever changing world Home? Is that even a place now? Ever changing places, ever conflicting minds Nomad is no longer the gypsy I found in books It's you, me, everyone of us Phase after phase after phase I change, evolve, falter All at the same time Constance is an afterthought Evolution is a necessity Run to adapt, run to adjust In this process, you never stop Never stop to take a breather Wait and contemplate If ever in life have you lived for you? Just as you start to reach a decisive conclusion Another gong strikes and another train arrives You board the train, eliminating the rush And voila! There you are All set and ready to go Never completely cleansed, answers not found Yet I run, yet I move and yet I crawl Oh dear transition, you are one bittersweet feeling Sucking me off my nostalgia And replinishing my memories You sure must be a treat, I believe

So, I am used to instant things The espresso from my coffee machine The likes to my new DP The swipes on my Tinder More right than left, I must say All instant and all at the shot of a gun So, when I do not get things instantly As I had hoped Do I crawl back into my shell? Contemplating my existence? Then again, Rome was not built in a day Nor did Col Sanders become a millionaire overnight Past generations will tell me, the wait is the key son Not understanding my getting used to instant gratification Perhaps they are right, I should persevere more Believe a little more Keep track in the process Results would follow But then who would understand I'm used to instant gratification All instant and all at the shot of a gun Just like my coffee and the swipes on Tinder More right than left, you see
