Tug of War

Tardy hours of a dark night,
Eyes wide open; fixed at nothingness.

Visible are the outlines,
Of the figures that haunt me.

Drawn to some,
I am repelled by others.

I close my eyes, and the world spins
As if tossed over in a centrifuge.

Pulled towards the familiar shadows,
I am tied with a string.

Fastened to a vital part, it tugs with a force
Taking me to places I don’t belong,

Ignoring the protests, I yell at it.
With a sluggish pace; I try to deceive

Move away, But ah! it stings.
A battle goes on as it dawns on me,

A puppet I am, after all
Manipulated by thee.

Assalam o alaikum,  I recently submitted my passport for RESIDENT VISA of Saudi Arabia after a lot of misinformation and misguidance. It was very stressful to complete the procedure correctly. So I am going to write what I did to help anyone else who is in the same boat.  Before your visa arrives, get done with making POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE from local thana. Go to the thana in your area and ask for the form. They will give you the form with a list of documents required. Complete it and submit it to get your certificate in a few days. After receiving certificate go to MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS for its attestation.  Register yourself on GAMCA WEBSITE. https://gcchmc.org/gcc/RegisterForMedicalTest.aspx   It will ask your passport details and charge a fee of 10$ through visa card. It will generate your GAMCA NUMBER and the name of registered medical center from where you will get your fitness done.  Go to the medical center mentioned on your GAMCA slip and get the medical

Get your Totems fixed, its time for a reality check.

Life goes on even when a father lays his son six feet under. It points and laughs at you when you make friends with the wall and wonder. It tackles and pulls you down when you're already trippin' over. It just never stops. Gives in. Lays to rest. Slows down. Takes a breather. Its a never ending circus act, giving tears and laughs to the ordinary. Life's short, shallow and even shit. Everyone's being heard, but only heard and not listened to. Its like Inception. A paradox. A dream within a dream. And you'd just keep waking up and realise that its still not the reality. Its still just a dream. But one day, one day you'll get that kick which would bring you back, to the real world. No more projections. Thats when life would really start. You were never born before. See you till then.

Just that.

Sometimes I feel like running. Wind in my face, a blank road ahead all for myself. Even if I close my eyes, I wouldn’t bang into anything. If that helps to leave behind everything.. and if it really helps, I would like to run even faster. I would want to run till my limbs give up, the oxygen runs out and I am exhausted. Then I’ll just lay there thinking about oxygen and exhaustion and the annoying pain in my limbs because of the irritating lactic acid. Just that. And nothing more. Just that. I would want to run till the wind moving against me tries so hard to stop me and I’d still want to run faster than before. And every time that I am successful in defeating it, I would want to stop for a microsecond and look back and laugh at it. And then I would again want to run extremely fast, my speed ever increasing, that at one point I am no longer solid. Having left behind what made me substance, I’m just energy now, invisible, impervious, untouchable. You can’t know I’m there unles
