Schizophrenia

https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Hc1ieetfj6OVxgMzEVojK?si=6feac709b5da4c17 A neutral third party can perhaps tell - she has changed too with his mental illness. The trepidation, the fear, the lines of defence are built though she has done nothing wrong. She hears sounds of an impending storm, sees thunder in distant lights and awaits doom, which is welcome but …. Armour is … Continue reading Schizophrenia

Underwater

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3jMtrSRXSezJ8NAM4oXWqL?si=269a627cf8a349c8 Rehab is no joke, especially if you happen to be a celebrity’s son grown in the lap of luxury.  Those inmates I consider below my dignity to interact with, have seen me crying - defenceless, helpless - not the prince I’m supposed to be. They say I’ll overcome the blues one day, and go … Continue reading Underwater

Leading Light – by Aishwarya

P.C :- Google Images

Mists of dreams transfigures,

As illusionary clouds,

The quote was kind of forgotten, but the wisdom returned in small doses, as I watched people around me grow old.

They appear to be unrecognisable compared to their previous self. And yet, I see familiar shades in their behaviour, their conversations.

My maternal grandmother died young at 32, so my Mom did not see her growing old. I see her talk and behave like her mother-in-law, my paternal grandmother. This is not genetic. It’s acquired behaviour, which she thinks is appropriate for an old woman of her age.

Bombarded

https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PKLLddOKvQKVEcv9frNiz?si=93f979721c424b01 There are times I take a stand on something. Others don’t agree. There’s a ferocious backlash, but I’m okay with it.

Then, … Continue reading Bombarded
