I do know what it’s all about
When every breath becomes a shout
A grating, rasping, wordless sound
I know the deeps where it is found
This leviathan of my sea
Who makes his torture known through me
He rises up, he gulps for air
Lets forth a scream beyond compare
He screams so that I might be heard
He utters not a single word
But he and I, we scream in alone
To no one is my torment known
We scream in cars and empty rooms
We scream in hours of deep despair
They burn, arise in smoky plumes
And futile, dispel in the air.
About hbhatnagar
I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.

Posted by hbhatnagar | 22/10/2017, 6:52 AMYou are welcome. I am still finding my followers and putting them in a special part of the reader so I can keep up without searching through thousands of blogs I follow and can’t possibly keep up with and if they aren’t active this ways I will know.

Posted by hbhatnagar | 23/10/2017, 5:46 AMI slowed down. I used to follow every blog I came across. Now I am creating a special reader page for the blogs I truly want to follow or that are following me.
