Their 'soul' that they have held on to and not yet abandoned to the world!”

But tell me then why does my heart yearn to just have a glimpse of you every moment of my life? Why do I see you in every sunrise? Why do I see you in every sunset? Why do I think of you when I walk down the lane of my apartment? Why do I imagine you sitting beside me while riding my bike? Why do I inhale your fragrance around me in my days and in my nights? Why do I keep missing you? Why do I feel restless untill I have spoken to you? Why do I keep thinking about you every night lying there in my bed? Why do I feel incomplete without you in my life? Why do all my memories smell of you?”

“In the quagmire of feelings and emotions that engulf us on our drab and monotonous days and starry, resplendent nights, the ones that bring back past memories hold a special place, almost a unique pedestal, in our hearts! The distinct fragrance of nostalgia that serenades us in our minds, though incomparable, could be akin to a feeling of ecstasy. A feeling that hovers in our minds for a humongous period of time, and one that takes us to mammoth heights in the midst of chaos and cacophony. It is as if we found a new elixir that rejuvenates us and makes us spring back into life.

~ Notes of a Traveler, The Musafir.”

“if i told you
that i talk to
the mountains
quite often
would you
think that i
am insane?

if i told you
that i secretly
hug trees
would you
think that
i am an idiot?

if i told you
that i love
fragrances
would you
think that i
am less
masculine?

if i told you
that i dislike
talking
because i
hate my
own voice
would you
think that
i lack confidence?

if i told you
that i cry
in movies
when an
emotional
scene unfolds
would you
think that i
am a weak-heart?

if i told you
that i keep
staring at the
sky most often
would you
think that i
am crazy?”

“As another year went by
And a new year came to greet us
I got up in the morning to take my class
And in the afternoon, while sauntering down the road
I saw a hairdresser's saloon inviting me in
And so I met the hairdresser
A fine young lad, and I told him to get my hair and beard trimmed if he may please
But for some reason I decided to keep the moustache without any trims
Life makes us poets,
with a love for poetry.”
― Avijeet Das
