Reality check …

Reality always hit u hard, so I was told, n I learned it the hard way today. Earlier in the day, I was given a quick reality check by Mohano. He always have been the man who’ve pointed the most obvious things which I tend to miss. N today he pointed out a very interesting point, which made me think really hard while driving back from Asix to Cyber, till I got quite a headache once I reached the office. Driving in the hot sun n thinking critical stuff doesn’t go along well, turns out to be. Aaanyway, I realized that reality is not very pleasant, maybe that’s the reason why I’ve been refusing to accept things as they are. Ohhh god, look at me, I’m an emotional wreck.

What to do, what to do… the classic question of what to do?


After great pain a formal feeling comes--
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions--was it He that bore?
And yesterday--or centuries before?

The feet, mechanical, go round
A wooden way
Of ground, or air, or ought,
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment, like a stone.

This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived,
As freezing persons recollect the snow--
First chill, then stupor, then the letting go.

Emily Dickinson
