The Timeline is Malleable. But then, It Ends.

DISORIENTED BODY FOUND IN BLOOD, PHLEGUM, AND DIRT-The newspaper headlines rinsed sleep from the eyes, well.

 

 

Looking at the calendar, strolling on a sepia wooden chair brought unnoticed memories. Time is a thief, a metaphor states, while I wish it were a happy song like Time, you old gypsy man. It still fascinates me how Adlerian rush is only constant in wormholes. Unlike the stinky name, which most physicists would love to discuss, a wormhole is not a humus: a fertile layer of soil. Unlike the upper layer delicious for plants, the wormhole, coined by American theoretical physicist John A. Wheeler, is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime and is based on a special solution ofthe Einstein field equations. Water spinning down the plughole is an easy representation of my insight, as I just finished doing the dishes



 “Chai?"

"We haven't met yet, and I don't think you feel the same way as you've expressed here. I'm overwhelmed. But do pay me a visit whenever you visit Delhi.” 

An intriguing invitation from my favorite bureaucrat has been like a dream come true. I never booked tickets for Delhi, though. Zee will move to Cairo in September. I'll gift him his book while he sleeps silently in the library. Sometimes the real tragedy is when you meet the most right person in the midst of wrong time, where the center of A circle is the dream person, the circumference is you, and your hope is the array of tangents at the circle B. 


I still jump in the mushy cushion of my elegant laughter of a memory when I saw his first mock interview and decided to write poems about him, which he still admires. Time travel is fun in the past when memories are moments of laughter of a blissful moment. I no longer deserve to visit ministry and share tea the way he likes, but the leap into timeline 23, 3023, would always be a wonderful date.s

I still travel to The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration because of our first conversation, where I felt happy being addressed as ma'am. A place I never thought I would visit. Time traveling is fun, indeed.



11:13 am 

Aditi's call was louder than the drummers in dream vision, clearing the way of 5 am alarms. The NEWS must be hot, for sure! 

“check the group messages!”

What's wrong, I'm still half awake. Give me some time.

Picture attached- A man with vibrant smile with a view of Aravali ranges in the back. 

The conversation was shimmering reality of our best friend Ananya getting married, a miracle to be happened in November. Despite of her being in academic institution, we all derivered our free lectures on 'be a good bride and law,' continued till the bell rang for another physics period. 

The conversation took us to the school verandah during rain where we shared laughter and words in the library at the sound of rain and leaves. The time travel is clever, indeed.

"Hey Annie, do you like pyaar ki ye ek Kahaani, it's based on Twilight series.”

I love Vivian Dsena, you know her real life girlfriend is panchi.”

The knot of friendship tightened with the never ending length, fastned enough to be her bridesmaid in future. 


JUNE 4, 2024

Tonight is the night my lover died

Tonight?

The last time I saw him drink!

One on his egoistical milieu,

Another on rude alter ego.

Afternoon was the last Thursday 

He offered me red-purple bruises 

While biting my lips and tongue 

knowing well 

I disgust at his taste and fragrance 

Last evening was the farewell 

To his sweet simple words

Sipping coffee with a single cube of sugar

Promising a ring with a Grandidierite studded in.

Lies, tears, tickle, sobs, laugh, pretend, flirts, rob-

The subshell of my love story in a frame.

I pretend to dance like being a part of a musical. The memoirs of bruises on skin refresh the allergy I had during my burnt years. It all happened in standard second, and rushing to the future a lot in semester second. Time travel is like being sick on a Baron 1898 Dive Coaster, unable to stop the glitches in pain no matter how messy the time line gets. Pain stabs similarly to the first thrust, with blood bulging out from the chest. 


 

PROMENADE 

13 years apart. A masterpiece to be witnessed by favorite with favorite with a minimum of 13 people sitting around. Pushing one to the GATE question paper of the person sitting across with multiple choice answers. 

A

D

Timelines collapsed. 

A space no longer holds comfort. But grief is a luxury; it should be felt to confront the miraculous moments coming ahead. 

“I'm sorry."

"You already apologized."

"And it would never be enough."

Timelines mentored by giggles.

Umar learned a new poem and a dance step imitating Grant Justin. Umar lost his mother, time took a year. With a future ahead, he cries on her cemetery, making us all wonder how he holds onto pain at such a tiny age.

“Appi, you've closed your eyes, ap sogai hai?”

“Yes, Umru, my baby.” Holding his tiny hands.

“Ammi, I'll meet you in jannat, and put my hands on your head like you used to.” 

Umar is just five. From the beginning to the end of the universe, there isn't a word to comfort someone who has lost their loved one to the angel of death. 

Absolute zero cannot be achieved except hypothetically, but when grief arrives, it fits the definition well.

To create a beautiful future without running into it with the speed of light or speedy emotions, I decided to make a list of ingredients to bake moon pies for my sweetest Rockstar, for it enlightens his heart with joy. 🍪 

A healthy timeline is present in the moment of present presence if we only tend to untangle it like the strings of kites in a caring manner.

Pitch, Poetry, and Parallel Times: What a Joka!📽️🍁✍🏼🗓️

कुछ कह दिया होता? कूर्ग का टिकट करा ही लिया होता? शायद सब बेहतर होता। The “if theory” is the wisest of all for the pitch — even for skeptical humans. Time traveling has always fascinated my mind, as it does for many of us. We often wish to leap into the future or alter the past. Last July, I unexpectedly got a call from the city of Jhilmil and Barfi. I felt the emotions exactly as Satyajit Ray’ s movies make us feel, with the metaphysical boundaries of dreams and reality, reminiscent of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s poetry. Before my rotting thoughts could steal all the joy, as they did in the movie Lootera near lakes, I tried to reassemble my gratitude while being in sujood. Literature expertise would lead to an institute talking about consultancy. Phew! I never thought God’s pitch worked like that. If 25-year-old Munazza hadn’t heard that, she wouldn’t have thought of this pun: What a joka! No wonder I’ve stopped writing. Ideas only come in dreams, in waves, often butchered...

11:11? What a stupid wish-granting factory reset ⏳

Scene I   Lights Camera Pen☀️  How lonely and lovely at the same time, To live in a castle of own, How strange and fluffy  The winds from roof Where rain keeps showering  Like dancing along. I keep singing poems While doing the laundary  And hanging the clothes to go dry Some lose their charms Some crankles, some run  Some turn out from black to greyyyyyyyy! I tip toe the work I Like it's an art! It's always always better to do work this way. It's easy, and lovely  And as Mary⁵ and Bert⁶ says,  "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."¹ The people around notice nothing unusual as they're part of their own musicals. The kids love splashing in lakes, the women complete their everyday chores sharing emotions like an art, men walk around with an umbrella so dark making sure they hide their emotions, strangers both men and women whistle along (some hidden, most vague), cats own the roads and walk like Hadid sisters on Victoria's last ramp walk, lea...

A Love Poem, Finally🗺️🏡

Scribble, Scribble, Scribble, Crumbling another poem on paper  without a word, Oh! Wait, scribbling on your skin.🪟 The beautiful arc of the stretch marks—I always wish I had one. Ammi had many; she told me Nani got some after giving birth to her. I stole a man with a scribble [strech marks].  Oh! I can't stop imagining the loud crackles during heavy rain- One in his eyes that I name his cheeks a land of tears, Other outside his window of the slurs people speak for him.  Their ugly mindsets never come close  to even his bin polythene. 🗑️  The man I stole wore long sleeves to hide the stretch marks. 👔 I wore long sleeves to avoid being questioned about my favorite burnt skin, “ Hey, what kind of mark are on your neck and forearms .” 👘 I am tired of telling them  How much I love my burnt skin, As they made me a living story. Along the ocean of unbothered waves, I'm tired of his disgust for hating his stretch marks. Sometimes I carve a line or two, 🖋️...
