Hamlet said ‘Words
Words and Words’ I would say Discourse Discourse and Discourses. All of a
sudden my life is a reaction that is created between two separating atoms. The
Other that was never conscious in me has began to challenge my alter ego. My
simple carefree life has become complex all with change of location. I was a
female once, I became a feminist female years later, I became an out and proud
queer person, I have no accent, I have no mother tongue, I have no location. Am
I a cosmopolitan or am I the eternal other that brings chaos to world? I feel like Hamlet a fool on the stage of world theater.
Few days back I called the most important man in my life
barking out all my problems and trouble on to his ears. The conversation with
him made me realise with each passing day, I am gaining moments of epiphanies. These epiphanies are true to their name, they neither make me happy nor sad. They simply produce another thought process in my mind.
A shared train journey with a similar soul with
complimentary and contradictory mind made me see I am never looking
for an end. I would prefer a life of a voyeur than talk to the muse I desire. Possession is not for me! I would rather be happy to call my life a collective album of
moments which never had happy endings.
A failed love relationship with a north wind knocked of the
idea of love from my head. Queerness is ingrained in a particular person, but all relationships in the world are
power relations and ‘Gender’ doesn't exist in relationship. Whereas responsibility
that comes with love was never meant for me. Bonds are bondage to me. I prefer
to be an escapist, a dreamer and a nobody.
No matter what even as a dead poet I can’t please
everybody. The text I create with my mind is not mine after I am done
penning it. The thoughts I had while writing the piece are worthless when knocking doors
of theories. In the end the personal pleasure with which I had penned the work becomes the guinea pigs at hand of theories. We destroy the most important
thing about reading- Pleasure!
Ultimately we humans are the only creature who evolved only
to realise that this existence is nothing special. Other organism are born,
they eat, they grow, they mate, they produce and they die. We do the same only
under a complex system of evolution. We are the only creatures who needs words
yet are totally incapable of communication.
All of a sudden one's own jokes seems to turn into a topic of debate, while too much of serious talks makes one understand that all we do is BHAT- a new Bangla word I learned. Can be translated as a mixture of stupid, worthless and aimlessness.
Surprisingly today I find everything BHAT!
PS- I was a clown, but today I realise I was a foolish clown

This is awesome. Quintessential. Different from all others I read before. The 'self' is murdered and double murdered as it deserves so. Love this and loved all I read from you blogger. Thanks for making me happy amongst all "BHAT'
