Inaction is one of the worst thing there possibly could be for society. But sometimes you wonder which is the bigger cause of it.
Apathy or Cynicism.


The thing about beauty or art for that matter, is that its got to be framed. It has to be within a context. Within a start and an end. It cant be timeless, or spaceless. Its the only way to appreciate it.
Its the reason why life will never be like the movies. Because life is timeless. Parts of our lives may be wonderful. But then there are those parts after those parts, and life goes on after our lives end, and it flows and you appreciate some parts but you cant begin to conceptualise the entirety and scale of it all. And when you do, its sublime. Because at the end of the day, we cant go on living life, day to day with that kind of thinking.
The reality is that not just beauty, but alot of concepts are only within our human reach within the confines of limits and frames. There are no heroes outside of the text, because man cannot sustain heroism. Alot of it is captured in moments and periods of our lives, but can never be realised as a continuous flow or constant. All we can do is say "start here" "end here", and in that context, only in that manner will we feel the awe and inspiration of the hero.

and then the whole choir echoes "Menon dont be bastard!"
by Yours Truly


I know i said ill be there
but im having second thoughts
about this stand im taking and
this shadow that i cast


I know its way past Sunday
and the time to act has gone
but acting comes with characters
and mine just aint that strong

-

Im sure I should have followed
but maybe its better that i stay
I guess its a loss im making which
im still prepared to pay


Ill believe that Ive been missing out
If that is what you say
But please dont count me in the next roll call
for your next play

-

So I thought I found my place
That wasnt too deep in outer space
guess I was wrong


please forget me if you see me drift along

-

I want to say im sorry
but im 'fraid that all itll do
was bring back all the memories
when I wasnt there with you


I didnt forget, all that I told yer,
guess I just, wasnt sure, what i meant
feels like im going nowhere
without a map to represent

-

I know its not too late
but still its taking kind of long
Its not your fault im stalling
But its the rocks im standing on


Its not that I dont want to
Its just I feel its time I go
Its useless staying grounded
when the waters getting cold

-

So I though I found a place
That wasnt too deep in outer space
to keep me on


But this search for any name or sign
Thats fixed to any lane or line
feels wrong


So dont pretend to understand
when even I cant comprehend
this gravity that keeps me from the floor


So dont count me to be anchored to the shore


please forget me if you see me drift along

Good night!

Random thoughts over the week.


Cab fares make Singapore feel bigger than it really is.


Why take panadol when there is access to cookies.


A fast paced, career obsessed life with all the money in the world probably wont buy me happiness. But it would buy me a BMW.


Running and marching really makes you appreciate the tender care and love of new socks.


Winning isnt everything, but maaan it feeeells sooo amazing.



Im off off and AWAY!!!







since i love photos of myself; and ive not uploaded any of myself since i enlisted. haha.

I wonder if gmail will be angry?

'MSN as a means to an end'
by Rishik Vijay Menon


You've mastered the
art of conversation
you blow me beyond
all comprehension
As I stutter I seek
for composition
As I endeavor to shirk
from repetition


Is that the reason
why your so persuasive?
your command of my
words are so invasive
I find my grammar
awkward and abrasive
I need some help cause
you are plain addictive


When your quiet, it
pierces of oblivion
Every word you mouth
begs for deconstruction
Theres no vowel thats
deficit in meaning
No definition
thats not packed with feeling



im a product of
national education
Im an advocate
of abbreviation
I never knew you didnt
have to read left to right
How'd you see these
words were more than black on white


Its amazing
how your so damn eloquent
Your speech is rich
verging close to decadent
Its saccharine
its nauseating sweetness
Somnolent high its
all that leaves me speechless

you dont have to fall

this is gonna be the chorus for my next song/poem. doesnt have a name yet. but its gonna come soon. haha.

by Rishik Menon





You dont have to fall
if you want me to catch you





Dont wait for a call
if you need someone to talk to





You dont have to stall
to make this last forever







we dont need a plan
to make it through the weather
