<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">I look at Ruth and can see right through
her eyes as they’re filled with sadness and overfilled with days of weight,
weighing her down. Her smile is that of resignation to the present, treating
everything as if it were to happen, it will.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">She smiles at me knowing there’s little I
can do as I challenge her inquisitive look with my crude helplessness. Her
beauty lies in her strength, in her resolve, and how easily people slide past
her without an inkling of a dent to her posture or her daydreams. Her days are
heavy and weigh her wide shoulders down. I look at her as she looks back
challenging each other of whom can see through the other, as a strand of her
curls naughtily slides down to her forehead and then her eye, as she blinks, countering
with a smile!</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">I win this hard-fought battle and my price
is a warmth that speaks of secrets and an admission to her present predicament.
She abruptly catches herself, and the smile disappears as mine lingers.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">She asks little of me, as I ask nothing of
her, and I ask so much of myself, hoping she can close her eyes and carry her
soul to the highlands, where the cold winds would embrace her and render her
snuggled inside, where her heart may flatter.</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">She walks the fields of wheat- head down,
way down, as she hears her own cries calling for her, and that only pre-empts
yet another stream of tears. She looks around and sees no one, as she looks
within and sees him in the shadows standing there, smilingly wanting to
encircle his arms around her, and will never let go.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">But she did... She curls her arms around
herself - vacant, warm-less, as the wheat strands dance back and fro, hoping
they may ease her emptiness with their whistles.</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">She kneels down to the murky ground and
looks down at me for answers, looking at her reflection, and then unexpectedly
puts her hand down to my surface, as she breaks my texture to ripples, tickling
me to dance to little meek waves, and I smile endlessly.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">And then she stops and jumps right in,
splashing me all around, as I collect myself and hold her, wetly embrace her-
all of her, as she raises her head above my texture, and smiles, smiles wide
open and cries; cries marrying her full tears to my water. I lift her slowly
and tenderly to float, sipping in her dress to warm her, curling myself between
her fingers, touching her lips to shhh her, and her eyes to relax and shut. I
lift her to float as I gingerly ask her to try to momentarily forget and she
obliges.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">I stream her across my wideness and cover
her ears from any sounds of the forest. I lead her across to a corner of fallen
branches and Monet-like water lilies that may embrace her in turn,
telling her that she matters, as I hold on to her, not letting her drown in my
thoughts and whims. I murmur river-fills, hoping mine replaces her fallen ones... She
starts to what I thought was whisper and then I realize that she’s singing...
She sings his name, and I sense that I’m drying up, depleting, as I corner in
to become but a few drops resting on her cheek.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">She’s laying there in wet mud and fallen
leaves, looking up to the sky, motionless, other than for her eyelids closing
in and out against the sun, as I now need shelter from its rays, so I fall back
to her eye and slide in. I am now her tear and take in her pain, her solitude,
and even as she struggles to cry me out- I’m obstinate and remain; I evaporate.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">Ruth closes her eyes, curls her arms
around herself, content, resigned, and sleeps. </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are two sides to a coin:</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1">HEADS: A reserved gentleman; Charles Spencer Chaplin
walks joyfully with his head up, back straight, leaning ever so gently on his
lean cane, raising his hat ever so slightly with the passing of a lady, and as
gallantly, comports himself with nuances of decorum, ginger of touches, kindest
of gestures and his hand resting on his waistcoat's pocket, as a discarded
fresh lily rests on his coat's collar.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1">TAILS: As delicate as he may be, this haughty
tramp’s clothes are in tatters, and his single-button coat-tails hang on as
add-ons. His hat breathes through its holes, his trousers is three sizes large,
and shoes that have held him more than their intent- worn and well outworn.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1">He's aware that people look and stare, but
undeterred, he smiles on as his kind eyes look ahead. He does not think of
himself as worthy of anything. He has nothing, owns nothing, and swims in
humility of expecting nothing whatsoever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, his sense of optimism blankets his days from negativism and
finds happiness in the knowledge that he deserves nothing, waits for nothing,
and nothing spectacular will pass by and stop to take note of him.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A tramp by way of no possessions, yet a rich old
soul by way of temperament and identity. He lives unnoticed with the
knowledge of insignificance, and will pass on not missed, not acknowledged,
but more acutely, not remembered. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This coin - like mine - will be passed on indiscriminately and without a
second thought, either opposite sides, bought and sold, while willingly serving
a purpose other than its own. </span></div>

typifies where van Gogh slept, where he ate, and to what constraining walls he
woke up to.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;">The room exists till today,
yet the noxious scent of paint and its remnants no longer occupy the air.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;">The room lies vacant, desolate, but for a
chair.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;">A wooden straw chair, placed
there for measure, for show, or is it the actual chair, and does that even
matter?</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Some people
come into the world and they never leave. They physically do, but somehow,
unlike the scent of paint solidify in what they’ve left behind, as in a body of
work, a feat, an accomplishment that merits their pronouncements, their
remembrance or mention, for good or bad, but as immortals, they’ve registered
their claim, willingly or otherwise, and they cannot evaporate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

they leave behind, even if it’s a chair, and above it all, left for us to
measure, dissect, appreciate or discuss, and yes, maybe worthy for-a-forever.
Some say that is the measure of a man, while some shelf the thought to just
another piece of information worthy at most as a footnote.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Question is
where have the immortals-to-be gone? Where are the ones in a million that when
they walk in, a light trails them, fluent with a knowledge so brittle you look
in awe and permitted to absorb, you forget where you are. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">As you stride
on through daily habits and reruns, climbing a mountain of ‘To Dos’ and
obviously ‘To Don’ts,’ as you go by your days, hopefully curious, free-falling off
the trail to seek, look around, open doors, and may find a chair or a vacant
room, but it’s what that space may have embraced that may in turn become intriguing,
allowing your very own imagination to take license in redrawing! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

marks on the walls, where Vincent’s wonders hung, but those hard, cold stone
walls will not let up on the secrets that took place within their confinement
and protection. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And maybe that’s for the
best as you may take your own chair, your own painted days of pastel moments to
throw caution to your days to triumph with a feat of your own, that may merit
your physical stand today, before you leave one of those tomorrows. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Isn’t that immortality at its simplest of definitions,
in that when you do pass, if your name is mentioned, it would be recognisable?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To Vincent, it’s utterly irrelevant. However,
to you- that’s another matter altogether between you and your purpose, be it
that gravity will hold you down, or you soar high and not sit down!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #353535;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today, there is no more
mail to deliver, nor envelopes to open up. Today, reciprocated emotions are not
carried by words to share. Today everyone speaks and no one hardly reads. Today
is another day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #353535;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In as much as mail or the
post - in time past - carried a token of secrecy of emotions, ill or good
between two people, that secrecy was invisibly sworn in to protect by a
mailman. The bridge between the sender and addressee was that one person. And
with that individual faded and Postman Pat is discarded to a dusty shelf, that
essential bond seems to have vanished into paperless, thin air as well, along
with ink, words, and the sentiments that carried them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #353535;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To receive a letter was a
thing of elation, as you would read it more than once, smell the paper in that
you may find the sender hiding between the pages, and in closing, find yourself
smiling that you are remembered, you are thought of, and to be read. But not
today!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Let’s
debate, if we may, the conscious knowledge of the loss of innocence, and the passion
one sheds along the way. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may be one
that is disillusioned with work in general, or one that stands up for all it
offers, and can duly accomplish what you set out to do and do it quite well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">But
what is it that we do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Serving names,
tags, brands and clients to what in the final run we refer to as a piece of
good or bad advertising, and in turn at best, accomplish brand recognition, a
heightened sale or an exercise to introduce a name, or forecasts of what that
piece of advertising might accomplish for that given geographical point, and
above all, the returns on that effort. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
no one talks of visions or visionaries.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Who
do we look up to? Granted, it may the likes of Sister Teresa for her ‘advertised’
gentleness and unfettering charity, but who is it that we look up to in our
daily lives; or we may regard as mentors? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people if not all, would scramble to look
to their immediate periphery and that would be your Dad and/or Mum, or an older
brother/sister. And even an admirable boss that is content with pointing the
way, and leading by example, rather than setting bad examples. However, what
may be interesting is that it’s possibly more than one person, and for
different plausible reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">However,
what is more interesting is: what does it do for you? How is it that – other
than looking up to that particular individual(s) – what else is there? Or is it
that we wear the Che Guevara T-Shirt as a way of a fashion fad – a brand -
rather than an allegiance to a type, idea or apt decorum?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may even use, wear or even love a brand,
and wouldn’t recognize the ‘branded’ or the creator behind that brand if they
were to walk past you! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if the
argument is sound, would you then perhaps agree that the brand has become the ideal
and the personification of what you may seek or even look up to?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I also speculate that if you turn to your left and might see a colleague
negotiating time, going at it emptily with filling his/her hours with To Do
lists of no consequence and no value? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see, few of us touch people; touch people
in terms of teaching or affecting a mere thought or a simple iota of change, so
why is it that we think we can endorse or publicise brands that can do just
that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">The majority seem to have resigned to settling down in their
safety cocoons, cashing in a certain sum, doing certain things robotically,
watching their stomachs bulge out, their eyes invert in, and growing older as
their pockets grow thicker. I don't see risk-takers as I see charlatans wearing
a clutter of brands to showcase their presumed status in life, rather than
what’s truly within; innate, if anything resides there to start with. Individuality
seems to have been cast aside for generality and populism; fitting in, rather
than standing out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In an overheated art
market where anything seems possible, the 1917-1918 painting: ‘Nu Couché,’ an
outstretched rosy-cheeked nude woman by the incomparable Amedeo Modigliani sold
on 9 November 2015 for a mammoth US$170.4 million, in a packed sales room at
Christie’s. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The bidding was profoundly
tense, with six people vying for the lot, and it took nine minutes to sell,
with the winning bid coming from a Chinese buyer on the phone. The transaction was concluded via credit
card!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The endearing
question here is not that the iconic suggestive painting is worth that much,
(which is much), but more so, that someone has the spending limit to buy that with
an American Express credit card!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr. Liu Yiqian, a
former taxi driver turned billionaire art collector, was confirmed as the buyer
of the painting. He had made his fortune through stock trading in the 1980s and
’90s, and he and his wife already have two private museums in China.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, here’s the
pressing argument: In this day and age, in the downturn to every industry
imaginable, and political turmoil to boot, everyone’s hands are to their
hearts, as they approach everything with scepticism and uncertainty. However, there exists a parallel life where
people, well some people, are so remote from the trepidations and fears of the many,
as they levitate without the use of meditation, but with the power of plastic,
and sheer determination. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And it all started
with a dream behind the wheel of a taxi!
Not surprisingly, Modigliani never saw that leap of fortune in his
lifetime, but if his mesmerizing art is anything to go by, then good on you
dude Yiqian! Let this be a lesson to all
of us- appreciate art, even if the reach is only as far as having the Painting as
a wallpaper at most, while the Bank is calling you again, as you are late on
your due car payment on your credit card! It’s just not the same plastic, and you know
what, that’s perfectly okay. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Take counsel in the
fact that we live in a world where you would not buy the Modigliani, even if
you could, for the highest price ever paid for a painting took place back in
May of this year, for Señor Pablo Picasso’s 1955 painting ‘Les Femmes d'Alger’
(Version 'O') that fetched an exuberating US$179.4 Million in a Christie's
auction in New York. And no, I’m not
going to ask who bought that, nor if he/she used a Credit Card for that
purpose! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"><b>"To note, Picasso’s
chef-d'oeuvre last appeared at auction in 1997 and had sold for US$31.9 Million.</b></span> <b>Remarkably, the work has increased in the value of 462% in the past 18 years."</b></span></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, it’s ironic
that Christie’s special evening auction of the Picasso masterpiece was titled:
‘Looking Forward to the Past,’ given that it’s well documented that Picasso
wrote in 1923: “To me there is no past or future in my art. If a work of art
cannot live always in the present, it must not be considered at all.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Consider this:
Here’s to the appreciation of art, here’s to the turbulent present, and
best of all, here’s to pure unwavering determination to dream big and believe
that even if you may be driving a cab, one day you’ll be driving a Modigliani
or a Picasso back home!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

walk aimlessly, and stop the weather.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
live drudgingly, and stop at idle talk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
look down to the ground with a weight so heavy on my thoughts,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">and
find conversations; mine and others to be of no consequence, and I fall silent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I

anything but.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
see foreign and distant beauty around me, as my eyes are temporarily granted
permission to observe and absorb that of the physical and scenic, but
intermittently digest the ugly, that of the persons and temperaments; all from
a distance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I’m
repulsed by the aloofness of many, their high airs and low energy base. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My feet purposefully evade others by
swerving away and far, for their fluent soiled preconceptions, muddled stench
of self-importance, and visceral borrowed views recoil my soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Days
are overfilled with trivialities and endless lists, with little essentials and
less smiles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
require little and that little is predominantly nature-based. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
shy for a handful, and count the hours as I watch the sun do its semi balance, draw
cloud dragons, blow wheat strands to dance, golden leaves that fall down
gingerly to tap my skin, and I offer my thanks by way of a weary smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">My
storms are internal, my anger is embedded, and my summer- warm and green greets
my skin with its fingers holding my face and lifting it up to look above, high
above. I’m tranquil yet I know I’m far from my prairie, for the grass beneath
my feet is unfamiliar, delicate and inviting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Please
ignite your senses. Please open your eyes to hear the splendour that surrounds
you, immerses you to childish-like reach out to discover, uncover and unearth
the simplest of joys, and the jewels of your days, as you’ll undoubtedly leave
your light footprints behind, and the indulgent wind will willingly sweep them
away- to fade- to ashes- to the sea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">From the small to the deluded rich, from the

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The oddity of it all is how pronounced normal,
as each pursues his day with the set of conditions he or others dictate, added
with a set of responsibilities, and topped with necessities and chores way

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">On the side of the highway rest two worn wooden chairs- one empty,
one occupied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I sit for the longest time, while seasons come and go and I stare in
front of me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some come and sit for
a while and they all eventually stand up and go, fading away. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And all I wanted was to wave you
through, creating a small moment of remembrance and pride in the long highway
of hope you ran on, and you would turn your head and smile back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The strands of grass dance to and fro, as the wind breezes past fields
and roads, through the tarmac you ran on, you tamed. The fields miss seeing you
run through them, ever so gently, while the leaves rattle on still, attesting
to the same. The rain drops in to clean up your persistent shadow, echoing the
music away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It's a single piano note playing over and over again from a distant
car's radio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Just short of 23 years old, you would have been this and that. But then
again, you were.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Terry- Where tears do not suffice, smiles should, in honour and in
respect. I talk to the wind and stand up in turn, leaving the two chairs
vacant, yet in wait, as I know you'd sit on the other and not run this time
round, but sit quietly and watch the seasons go by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the song of a mermaid calls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sit
on a bench in the glorious summer sun, and look at the ambivalent world around
me, so consumed and fixed. I ask no permission to look and dissect. Likewise

stand up to see where my legs take me, places unseen with feet bound with a
pair of shoes that squeak fooling many as new, even though if their birthday

she shuts her unrelenting eyes and washes away the superficialities of the day.
The layers of paint that have nestled under her fingernails, emulating the conceit
of others, leave her bare yet clean... She wears her scarlet letter to her
chest in shame, as she dissolves into the dark so she wouldn't see her own
reflection. She marries the cold ground and cuddles to her own thoughts, lost
in their muddle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To rot, and be conscious of that hideous notion is
equal to something deep within you that truly hurts you; hurts you to a degree

kind that you have rivers to say, but as water, there’s no cohesive strand of
where to start and how vivid you can be in describing in full how you

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It’s so personalised, in-depth and within. It takes
over your faculties and your thoughts; every single one of them, leaving none
to smile and run free, barefoot on freshly cut grass. Every thought is chained
to another, and all parade with the whys, whos, wheres and whens in different
guises and scenarios, played out over and over again to unending encores to an
audience of one: you. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

detached, and light. Yes, light. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Light
as in not heavy, for your focus is one, and light, as emitting a distinct radiance.
That light that shines meekly may be nature’s way of calling for a hand, a
shoulder, an ear and a virtual eraser to quicken time, and lessen the wound, as
you would be light-headed, and yet, it’s all quite heavy on your being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dimensions irrelevant, isn’t it what

importantly, you are not alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px;">Daybreak seeps in ever so slowly, as rays
of disparate light take over.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The birds have not woken up, but the sun
seems to be as punctual as I’m not, and a silence; a short silence resides to
all I see, all I feel, as I sip on an odd bitter coffee. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The world has not begun. And what a
glorious symphony it is when it does, as I, in tandem play Sumi Jo, as the
young tree leaves outside respond by dancing to and fro, while the more aged
ones staunchly stay still.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
voice angelically rises as the sun takes its cue, and the chirps begin, a
breeze takes form, and the sky paints itself into hues of aqua blue. Our cats
swirl in their favourite spots, as they stretch in an attempt at disregarding
the music’s intrusion on their beauty sleep. Not musically inclined, I must say!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My coffee has since changed to an odd
bitter and cold one, which I drink regardless, and the aftertaste leaves me
with a grimace that the felines seem to find amusing, as they approach and make
their presence felt, and in fact, demand the attention I seem to have
undeservingly displaced onto the affairs outside, instead of onto them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I look in front me at the framed photos of
our loved ones, one by one and each takes me back to where that snapshot was
taken and when.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each carries a
story of its own and its long gone daybreak that may have been as singular, and
as any you may choose to experience in your days to come, or days past. You'd smile within with precise remembrances cherished; all your very own that are tucked away
inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px;">I miss that it’s been a while since I sat
at the window-sill in an oversized sweater, with a hot, boiling cup of coffee
in my two hands, smiling and content, as I look to the outside pouring rain, at
the street across and see myself standing there soaking wet, cold, freezing,
tears merged with the rain, asking the world why it is as is.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I miss standing at a forest lake, as I
look around me to my friends, and we all pick the best flat stones, throwing
twisters to see how many water-bounces we can up one another, with laughter echoing
across the skies. I hear no sounds but the water, as my thrown stone goes a modest
two leaps clear, and I look around to find me, alone standing there, in the
company of my own reflection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I miss sneaking into a cinema and watching
an adult movie with girls, pretending we were old enough to do so, with eyes
wide open, and hold that secret with our lives. I’m still holding on, but to
what?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I hear footsteps, and think them to be
hers, but which one, which year, and which folly? They’re now faceless,
nameless, and yet I simply miss the youthful, carefree folly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I miss cycling behind my older brother, as
he would look back and smile at me, constantly checking if I’m keeping up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I turn the corner of my days, cycling
alone, and I look ahead and see him smiling but in my mind, for he’s in a
better place, and still ahead of me…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My Dad swiftly turns to hold me tight when
we meet, making sure that I know he’s still stronger than me, and we laugh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We meet to sit at a café and talk as
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I miss my friend; for the
chair in front of me is now vacant, and I miss, miss his husky voice, and our
laughter. I now sit alone, as I can’t but hear the next table’s chuckles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My sweet little Mum… Unconditional,
overflowing and generous with her smiles and hugs, as I see her seeing us all
grown up and away, and she beams. I miss that light, and return to it often!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I miss cuddling my kids to sleep, playing, and holding them to my face as they grab it, trying to take it off, for
they have no words to express - but motions and baby lingo- I miss them now
even as I look at them - older - confiding in me, in words and I for my turn,
am left speechless except for my daft expressions, and I’m beaming!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yet, I don’t miss what I was, rather than
what I am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I don’t miss what I had, rather than what

if it gets to suspend to normalcy, to being a habit even, I like its presence, its
pillow comfort and ice-cream smiles, to the oblivious reach for my fingers when
walking, while my others inquisitively slide down the alleyways of her
hair. And all, without one Neruda word spoken. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tears ask me to be still, as I catch a droplet at the tip of my finger and look
closely at it and what stories are pertained within, and I put it to my lips
and drink its salty tales in, as her embrace melts me to insignificance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

eyes see within me, invading every room, turning over every sheet of secrets,
and she answers her own, but I'm not listening; I'm sleeping in her clouds of
arms. She whisperingly tells me not to breathe on her, for she would then have
to breathe me in. That's not fair! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I close my smiling eyes, and breathe on her in playful
defiance anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

caress turns to a stronghold against my skin, as she nears... and bites my lip
as a reprimand for my insubordination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My heart laughs, as she takes back the droplet I stole. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

home to millions that will grow and age to the same streets, same air, same
sounds, without getting to be foreigners themselves one day outside the realm
of comfort and habit to experience my THERE, but that of my sentiments being in
their land, their streets, sharing their air and their scenery, looking at the
same things up ahead, but not really seeing the same thing at all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The fascination of travel is by definition; (at
least to me), not the discovery of new sights, new people, new ‘doings,’ but
more so the discovery of oneself in those unfamiliar situations and foreign
scents, nameless faces and the novelty of it all makes it for what it is, and what
you inherently take away with you from the experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

wherever THERE or HERE may be, for a borrowed period of time, a given set of
moments where streets seen once will not be walked on by you ever again; and scenery
stolen in will be so for a mere then, and never again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">India has called me back, and it hasn’t aged one
bit. Transcendent of change and of novelty, it embraces you with sharp aromas
and sharper colours. It remains modest, yet inquisitive with the nameless eyes
fixated on you, as the alien you are, and the foreignness of sheer presence you
bring for show, for those few minutes of the blistering day – a day that will
come to pass, and each will resume his place in the world, distinct, distant,
separate and foreign HERE, as they would be THERE, elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the hollow shell that I am, to the faceless Magritte that I’ve become, I look
to my surroundings to instigate a novelty, as I sit on the hard ground, beside
an equally barren Giacometti tree, and I cough out nothing but words; empty
words that glide in the air, seeking an ear or a nod, and yet they instead land
beside me, lifeless and curled up like autumn leaves. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

sentences dissolve, as they look up to me for sympathy and warmth. I
clutch the sad words in my hand and eat them in, so they can roam freely and
carefree within my empty tunnels within me once again.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
