Insanity To Oblivion

A Journey cherished like None other!

I have reached a point in my life where I can neither enjoy merry music, and I am bored as hell of Dark music.

For almost half a decade, I found refuge in dark music. Music that gave me pain and brought tears, gave me a sense of satisfaction, a sense of security and immense happiness.

If I would slit my wrist or bang my head to the walls of my room, I would feel ecstatic with the sharp sting of pain. I would find it fun.
There was even a time when I was (literally) addicted to the darker side of life. It would give me some kind of toxic pleasure which eventually assumed control over my entity.

Then I was labeled 'Insane'. I wasn't exactly pleased with the label but I was neither embarrassed or perturbed by the same.

By then, I was well aware that homo sapiens are the cruelest form of life and I was quite pleased with myself for having transformed into an outcast!

Psychiatrists gave it funny names. In fact, it so seemed to me that all the doctors, I had been to, were fighting with one another, (something like a cold war), to prove their diagnosis correct!

At that time, I was too busy architecturing the world I was building for myself, that I didn't care to form an opinion on the same.

But now, since my real estate is in good progress(!) I have formed a rather strong opinion on the above.
I guess these psychiatrists and therapists need help themselves.
(I would like to exclude a doctor friend of mine, Dr. Rohit, 'cause he's awesome!!)
They have no idea what they are doing, and thus are complicating lives of the complicated!

But as far as I remember, 'Insanity' was Awesome. It still persists to a small degree. At first, i was doubtful. But as time crawled by I began embracing it as one of my traits, a rather special one, and I am adamant in letting go of it.

I felt secure with my buddy, Insanity. I felt that, finally the outside world couldn't penetrate the impermeable structure that Insanity webbed around me. I felt that I was finally Home!

The odyssey continues.......

A peek into my draft sketch pad ;)


















The forsaken race!

Dear all,
I am too ashamed of being born as a human. On the other hand my human instincts propel me to fear being born as a non-human, an animal.
I experience a multi-dimensional feeling. I feel helpless, I feel Powerless, and partly appear benign.
Animals, are capable of love. We all have cats and dogs. We understand how well they understand us. In fact I have a pet dog too.
I would like to recount an anecdote about my dog and me.
" I had just returned from a tired day's of work. I was terribly weak, and perhaps was even running a temperature. I got off the car, and there she was waiting for me, so patiently to welcome me home, with her warm hugs and licks, wagging her tail with utmost vigor. I felt giddy, and I fainted and swooned to the ground.  I regained conscientiousness in say half a minute. But when I was back, I witnessed something so beautifully touching. My dog, sobbing, she was cry out loud, her heart beat had shot up, and she was licking me all over trying to revive me. And soon after I was fine, she didn't want me to leave her sight. She caught hold of me so tightly and stubbornly! She just ripped my heart off with her immense Love! "


Well, I got lost in those vivid memories. Nevertheless, let me resume what I intended to address initially.
Why can't we treat all animals alike. We love dogs and cats and rabbits, etc. But what about Pigs, and Chickens, and Cows and Fish, and so many other animals that we so indulgently devour!
Don't you find them cute enough? Forget about the beauty, it's after all just skin deep!


Do you think they are not capable of feeling pain? Do you think, they have been sent to earth, only to be reared and sent to slaughter houses? Do you think, they don't have flesh and blood, and nerves and veins and a body and a soul?


They very well do. They feel happiness and pain, just as we humans do. They feel anxiety, and trauma, and any feeling that is displayed my the human beings.


I beseech all my readers to have a look at the above video. I insist that you sit through the entire video. It might gross you out at the beginning. But view it entirely, and witness what we are doing?


How would you feel, if your loved ones ( say your mother, brother or best friend) were treated in a similar manner? If they were sent to be slaughtered, so that some other superior creature could enjoy a tasty delicacy of your beloved ones?


I don't mean to offend anyone, but, I would like to look at us and the animals at an equal scale. And I sincerely hope that you will do so too.


God, please don't abandon us. We have erred to the degree of being forsaken, please do get back and
Help us, Heal Our broken souls............
