Clean your room, my mamma shouts! Oh! What an ordeal! Let me see! Mm... Failed test papers, crushed and thrown! Crumbled candy covers, reminiscent of the friendship I thought would last forever.

Oh baby.. Dont kneel. Daada hold me!! I'm sinking Is it karma Or death confused? Be quiet. Stay still. Daada I'm drifting Blurred sights Muted breaths, Heartbeats.. Past lives encircled Thoughts, memories muddled. Soul detached, Floating... Deep slumber Inner voice chanting Om...... Arose.. Incarnated!
