Dual-ist Life

Dualist,
The first kiss, the first hint of that sound,
Orbital.
The kiss, the caress that lead me to a world of
Qualia,
Qualia, is an addiction.
The sudden surge and soar of sounds. Memories.
My hair tangled on the rocks of Gokarna,
The train journey to Bangalore.
The flu filled journey into Mumbai.
The joy of hugging someone I had met after 3 years.
The waves singing songs of temptation.
A moment, at a concert,
Eyes closed, heart beats.
The sheer joy of listening to the silence,
The silence after the cigarette has burned out.
The silence at a moment when all you can hear is the wind.
The music slips in and out of my stagnant mind.
The first kiss, the first hint of that sound,
Orbital.
The kiss, the caress that lead me to a world of
Qualia,
Qualia, is an addiction.
“The experience of happiness”, she says.
And I smile. I nod in agreement.
The laughter in the background,
The musical journey of it all.
And every moment, every word uttered,
Reminds me of so much.
“memories are like picture postcards
And the experience is actually being there.”
The kisses that my friends plant on my skin,
The first touch of my lover’s lips on mine,
The stranger who smiled at me at a red light on the street,
The smile I see on the faces of street vendors,
The dreams that make you sigh,
The trips that take you far, far, so far away.
The school teacher who hated you,
Who you grew to remember more.
“And when you look back tomorrow and wish it was today.
You can wish wish and wish away. Stare into space, wonder how it felt back then..
And smile.. because you remember.”
And I nod and hold on to a breath and I am calm again,
I remember again. How it felt to cry, to laugh, to kiss and hug and touch.
To smile and receive a smile in return,
To just be. To just let the world hold you in Her arms.
“Id been trying to believe for so long”
The so of it all. The sound of the sounds.
The joy of asking questions,
The laughter of nothingness,
The memory lapses,
And the surge of it all.
“Asking upside down questions
Getting inside out answers”
Dualist,
The first kiss, the first hint of that sound,
Orbital.
The kiss, the caress that lead me to a world of
Qualia,
Qualia, is an addiction.
And suddenly everything drowns,
And memories of the spark remain,
And its over…
Qualia.
Here fair readers, we have a Delhi boy who has taken over most of my day.
The sound of the music makes it all easy to get through today.

Name: Dualist Inquiry, the only member currently is Sahej Bakshi

Here is a link to the two songs that inspired the lines above:
