“The more I am getting to know these so called 'beautiful people' the more I am waking up to their emptiness. For them 'being tall' and 'being fair' is an achievement!”
“He arrives at the girl's window. They are face-to-face. She sees him through the streaky glass, through the rain- now pounding; a mudded, monstrous creature. She opens her mouth to scream, to cry for help, but in that very moment, everything changes.
Before her eyes, he changes. She sees through the layers of mud, through the generations of darkness and rage and sorrow, to the human face beneath. A young man's face. A forgotten face. A face of such longing and sadness and beauty; and she reaches, unthinking, to unlock the window. To bring him in from the rain.”

“Curves, Clothes, Character (The Sonnet)
Your abs won't last, your racks won't last,
Eventually everything ends up in wrinkle.
Polish the outside all you want but,
All curves are crookery if the heart is wrinkled.
Slimness is not the same as fitness,
Skinship is not the same as kinship.
Etiquettes don't elevate the world,
Apparels don't bring liberty and leadership.
Waste not the life on measuring your waist,
All waist is waste if the backbone is malnourished.
Fitness is fiction when shallowness runs rampant,
All curves are filth if the being remains prejudiced.
Curves and clothes have no bearing on character whatsoever.
Better a character out of shape, than a shape without character.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 56
Don't look for someone you can talk sense with,
Find someone with whom you can talk nonsense.
Call it friendship, call it love, call it whatever,
Role of a companion isn't sensibility but acceptance.
That's why I walk around in shabby clothes,
That’s how I get to know about people's true nature.
Everybody likes to butter up those in suits,
Those who smile at the people with nothing,
are the ones with real substance of character.
If you wanna find out who your enemies are,
Walk fancy and wait for the butter to pour in.
If you wanna find out the humans amongst the leeches,
Walk like a vagabond with your shirt not tucked in.
Be cautious of those who applaud your accomplishment.
And never lose those who walk by you in hopelessness.”

“Accepting obscenity as freedom of expression,
Is like showing tolerance to intolerance.
Posing butt naked on instagram, unless you're pornstar,
Is like barging into capitol with a flag confederate.
We must find a balance between comfort and conscience.
Civilization falls apart when we can't tell the difference.”

“Often times obscenity is but an outburst of insecurity, by empowering obscenity we empower mental imbalance.”

“A moment of peril is often also a moment of open-hearted kindness and affection. We are thrown off our guard by the general agitation of our feelings, and betray the intensity of those which, at more tranquil periods, our prudence at least conceals, if it cannot altogether suppress them.”
