Echoes of the Sterile Abyss

White walls weep Antiseptic beads, sterile, unstained. Hippocrates gnashes bone against earth, His ancient oath splintering in its tomb. Staccato heartbeats On cracked monitors Tick, tick, tick— Then silence— The flat-line of existence. Corridors twist— Escherian nightmare, Where healers— Ah, the healers! Are hunted like prey In a sterile jungle. Power's labyrinth— Minotaurs of mercy with iron in their gaze, Their hands clean, Yet cruelty seeps from every pore, Feasting on innocence. Trust: a currency devalued, Hope: a luxury taxed. In closets of shame, Skeletons waltz with fresh corpses. Nightingales sing requiems For their fallen sisters— (Who will hear? Who will care?) Society's bones—brittle, porous— Snap under the weight of silence. Justice: blindfolded, gagged, bound In red tape and white lies. The girl? Fragmented Like this verse, Pieces swept under sterilized rugs. April's promise of renewal Ah! A harsh veneer, When August in Bengal strips it bare, Revealing oaths d

The Dawdling presence

In the arms of solitude, keenly sense, A vast absence, a void intense. Every passing moment silently pleads, A sweet presence, my spirit needs.   The gentle wind whispers, softly it sways, Lost in echoes, as time slips away. A longing to grasp lingering still, In every breath, I feel the chill.   Amidst the quiet, I seek your embrace, A desire so deep, it leaves a trace. In the hush of night, in the ray of day, Your absence dawdles, never fades away.

Eren Jaeger's Journey and the Philosophical Tapestry of Attack on Titan

Image
  It's been an extraordinary journey delving into the dystopian world of "Attack on Titan." For me, Eren Jaeger embodies the complexities of human ideologies, ethics, and the unyielding pursuit of freedom amidst chaos. What a stunning character Eren is! Entwined with profound philosophical concepts, echoing the dilemmas and paradoxes of our own moral landscapes, Eren’s journey encapsulates an existentialist struggle, reflecting Jean-Paul Sartre’s assertion that “Man is condemned to be free.” His relentless quest for liberation in a world overrun by Titans mirrors the existentialist belief that individuals are responsible for defining their essence through their choices and actions. Hajime Isayama beautifully conveyed these philosophies in this manga series. The world of "Attack on Titan" echoes a tapestry of philosophical ideologies woven into the intricate character developments within the series. The clash between utilitarianism and deontology within Eren&#

The War of Lanka : Book Review

Image
  Let me start by saying it was a pleasure reading this long awaited book. Ever since I have picked up the Shiva triology, can’t resist becoming the fan of Amish’s writing. There is something uniquely striking and thought-provoking about reading the Mythology stories we heard growing up being narrated in an altered perspective. Ram Chandra series is no different. The magic of Amish narrating it in a scientific way surpasses the mystic stories handed down by our elders. And the earlier books raised the bar of expectation so much that it understandably remained insurmountable to match it. But and this is a big BUT... this book really wasn’t up to the jacked up expectations like its predecessors and I'll rather go on and say it messed up a bit. I would like to delve into the parts which I liked and disliked and thus it will vent forth a bit of spoilers. Spoilers Likes: I really liked the inclusion of Bharat and Shatrughan in the war and the resulting dynamics between the brother
