Don’t forget there are two ways of being yourself…you can either show the straightforward picture, or else what is called the negative.

In the latter, light and shade are reversed; To the unaccustomed eye it seems ugly; But the likeness is in that, too, all the same.

this time, i found -


her warm, cold, bearable, lovely, lonely, beautiful, concrete.

friends in her old gents and ladies.

that the fact that she doesn't have daylight saving time makes her feel other-worldly, and that that is alright by me.

that she can make you feel heavy, light-headed, lost, loved, awkward, protected, oppressed, a stranger, at home - all in just one evening.

that she can wreak havoc with your soul.

that she still carries hope of 'home' for some, someday..

    i love the idea of carrying ones home around inside you. i can't quite say how, but that's what this poem speaks to me of.

    A goiter-size smoking-pipe! I love the evening-condensed sentiments exposed! Rather deep —to delve ...

    @illusionaire: lovely aint she? couldn't resist taking a shot. she's quite the enigma...didn't even tell me her name. so 've come up with my own.

    illoo, meet the Concrete Princess. if yo lucky ye just might bump into her at Mizoram Hse, Ballygunge, Kolkata. i wish you two all the best.

    @chawnghilh: thanks. "goiter-sized" smoking pipe sums up the perils of smoking pretty well!

    and I always thought you were this high-brow lady and I was too intimidated to comment here... mahse a*****te-i kha ilo ni reng sia :D

    Have rarely been outside the state, so I could not really relate, but loved it anyway. I remember when we used to come home from Shillong and we'd suddenly emerge from Leitan to see Aizawl spread out beneath us...always took my breath away. "Protected, oppressed" sums it up so well.
