Why Modern Men Cheat?

Its easy to write jokes, if you're funny

Are we successful? Are we making strides? Are we heading in the right direction? Do we have our story straight? Is this the life we were meant to live? Yes, probably. Whatever you believe to be true is true. If its not true, you lack belief. But who knows? I started adding milk to my coffee to make it look whiter. Its not a lot, but just enough. I could add sugar, but I don't. Its hard to explain why people do things. Its harder to explain why you did things. Its almost impossible to explain why things are the way they are.

Health is wealth. Stay alive and good things will happen.

When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere. If you ask him, he'll tell you how he got there. How he forgot where he was going, and then woke up. If you listen, he'll tell you about the time he dreamt of being perfect. And then he'll smile, content that he realized the world isn't perfect. We're flawed because we always want so much more. We're ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

The best things in life are free

Its always now. What you only truly have in life is this moment and being consciously aware of this moment. Everything else is a bonus and in most cases, surplus to requirement. What matters is not what you did, but what led you to doing what you did. Life is fragile. If you haven't had a Strawberry Cheesecake milkshake yet, you might want to. You can only make so many trades for your happiness. Life is what happens when you're busy planning other things. I've made a few bucks in the stock market and got a raise. I'm only happy about it because I choose to.

When good fortune finally comes, no one can ever stop it

A parking lot, also known as a car lot, is a cleared area that is intended for parking vehicles. In most countries where cars are the dominant mode of transportation, parking lots are a feature of every city and suburban area. Shopping malls, sports stadiums, megachurches and similar venues often feature parking lots of immense area. Customers prefer parking lots which have trees planted and parking lot owners have been antagonistic towards the same.

Work hard and be nice to people

I be tryna rest, but lord, the devil busy
And when I do, I dream of you and then the devil pinch me
Do you ever miss me?

Do you ever wish we'd get it right, and the rest is history?

An Open Letter to Salman Khan

When in Rome, walk aimlessly.

The first or last thing I should be doing is writing a blog. But I am presently in a state of mind where my ego or the ego has dissolved completely, or so I have myself believing. I hope to finish this post by the end of this week.


If I'm in a conversation with myself, I find me interrupting 


One fine winter afternoon, I really had a craving for a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake from Shake Shack. I had just had my lunch and was in two minds about what I should do. I spoke to my colleague about it and he suggested that I should get it. So I made my way downstairs and crossed the road to get to the Shake Shack or get to Shake Shack depending on how you word it. Yes, who proof reads a blog? When I got to Shake Shack, I found that there was a huge line and I had to stand in the cold if I wanted a milkshake. So I decided to pass. On my way back, I stopped by the deli and got some Dove milk chocolate. It was neither emotionally nor aesthetically gratifying, but you just do these things for whatever they're worth. 


If time is money, I'm an hour past paid


I left work around 5. I usually leave around 5 to go home. I don't go home directly, but I physically leave the office around 5. Right before leaving, I wished my colleague a good evening. I never paid much attention to the kinds of evenings he has. But that's for another day. He told me to get a nice PB and C( Peanut Butter and Chocolate) milkshake on my way home from Shake Shack. I thought about it for a minute and realized that I don't feel like getting a milkshake anymore. Its all different now. When you're going through rough shit in your life, you feel like you badly need a quick fix. Then time moves forward. You, your problems and priorities are all different. I also started listening to Black Sabbath and watched a complete documentary on Galileo.


I grew my beard out just a little, to show that I'm indeed a man


Typically, people gather to drum in drum "circles" with others from the surrounding community. The drum circle offers equality because there is no head or tail. It includes people of all ages. The main objective is to share rhythm and get in tune with each other and themselves. To form a group consciousness. To entrain and resonate. By entrainment, I mean that a new voice, a collective voice, emerges from the group as they drum together


Above the planet on a wing and a prayer

My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
