The colour's too dull
The things look too similar
Perhaps the eyes' haze.

Haiku in a Heart
First I form five words
Then a seven's and a five's
I got a haiku!
The limbic system. Yeah, that's where neurobiologists discovered our emotions are arranged intricately inside the brain.
There are theorists who profess that "cognitive activity—in the form of judgments, evaluations, or thoughts—is necessary for an emotion to occur." There are also several disciplinary approaches to study emotion.
But in this series, I'm concerned with 'commonplace' emotions, those feelings which we experience in our daily life. I found in haiku the ideal place to capture the superficial sense and smell.

Real ideals and realistic ideas
Carefree, a child plays
The fickle butterflies flew
Finding happiness.
Those joys we have lost
Now we praise felicity
On misery's lap.
It's silver lining
We trust joy's old as the sun
The moon as sorrow.
Today the dreams block
the road to Utopia
Action! They hollered!
And so the machine
And the lab, they are proving
doubting, and guessing.

Piktru's Psychological Narrative
In high school, I was so weak in Mathematics. I've completely done away those complex trigonometry and quadratic equations, but have kept on counting numbers, with the hope that a little more understanding of this subject will reduce the regret. The regret for being too lousy when it comes to numbers and abstract formulas. Quite surprisingly, I have found that this habit of counting is so useful in composing haikus. When I'm not sure, I go to //rhymer.com and //howmanysyllables.com.
Another thing I link to haiku is errr not Basho... but the night. Yes, I mean the nighttime when the bed is earnestly waiting for me, when there is the usual 24x7 traffic at the busy Ring Road; and that's when I give my time to haikus and blogging. Otherwise I have a day-time job as a sub-editor at one of the major publishing vendors in South East Delhi.
Been living in this city for the last five years now. Originally I belong to Manipur, an incredibly beautiful state though torn apart by violence. That politics and insurgency thing. Well, thanks for spending your time here and hope you enjoy surfing-wilfing on this blog. Happy reading!
