Dreaming

Background Music: Aerodynamics by Daft Punk (ironically enough!)

A large canvas hangs above my head. I glance at it tentatively and watch it sway under my glance. I blink repeatedly and continuing walking, but it never fails to leave me, a large curtain blanketing me. It is the large expanse, the waves and seas raging above us, that we have named the sky. It has perplexed generations with its unpredictable tears alternating with its blinding, dizzying lights. Adults look up and implore the sky for answers; children stare up at it and create the sky's atlas, filled with galloping horses instantly moulding itself into flying fairies.

I often wonder if I would reach the corner of the world and touch the sky as it meets the sea, just like in 'The Truman Show'. Yet, its true endlessness captivates my soul. Looking up at it now, I wonder if it is just a bulk of lifelessness which humanity has personified. But for me, it will always be more -- a painting I can never photograph; a juxtaposition of change and permanence.

'I've got the rhythm baby!'

Background Music: Around the World by Daft Punk

After months of hibernation, I am back to express myself. I am in the mood to dance. For the past few days, I've been blaring dance music in my room. Now, for those of you who know me, dance music is not my 'thing'. I am usually an alternative rock-deep and contemplative lyrics- kind-of-person. I like to curl up and let the music seep into me. But now dance music craves for my attention. And its not long before I'm dancing in my room. Bouncing and hopping around, waving my arms around like a person drowning in the large expanse of the ocean of synthesisers and auto-tunes.

Once, I asked my friend how she manages to capture everyone's attention with her dance moves. She smiled back and exclaimed -- 'I've got rhythm baby!'. Unlike her, I am not very proud of my dance skills and in public places, I usually sway from side to side. But, every so often the rhythm just gets to me and even a simple repetition of the phrase - 'around the world, around the world' can inspire me to break away from routine.

Let go of yourself! :P
