You can finally hear

 You can finally hear. Not the roaring motorcade or immortal din of speech,  

but the violent silence that charges through the metal forests, carried by whispers of winds. You can  finally see the moonlight as it washes the onyx road, in between the blazing neon.  

We dwell in the confines of the sleeping cacophony and  

finally, we can hear. 

So, sit with me. My songs blare in wee hours of the night and you can see the symphonies wafting, caught  in the hazy city air. A bubble of trapped smoke and lucid dreams. 

I await you in the darkness.  

Just so you can destroy the quiet rage.  

I can’t handle the silence any longer. I can’t be quiet any longer, repressing myself any longer. I have put  my fears on hold, just so I think others need me. I think they need me to solve them, just so they can be  their happier selves. 

I want to, but  

how do I tell them to see something that’s not here. So, it’ll  

have to be you. It’ll be you who I’ll lay myself ragged before, the one who destroyed me but still holds  my face like I’m everything. You, from the tips of your fingers to your inked arms, who covers me from  my boy-beard to my round chin, so softly, so desiring,  

dog fur with touches of silk on my marked skin. You stink like wet wolves in torrid snow, with  disarming fangs that elicit mine. You know I don’t mind. I don’t mind it at all.  

Let’s dance and race through the gossip of the forest, groaning metal and moaning wood, frantic as you  are to devour everything I have to offer. I’m the first to willingly give myself to you and you are amused.  Perplexed I would venture to say, staring into your earth eyes of chrome and soft dirt. “You are naked for  a monster’s amusement”, playfully snarling in my ears, trying so hard to discover my fear.  

No. 

I’m bare for my own.  

You’ll realize I’ve faced horrors of my own creation, imprisoning myself in bars and barbed wires of my  own twisted design. You reel in horror like the cub you are. I am the monster here. Don’t let this frail skin  fool you. You may be Fear, but you wouldn’t last a day in my mind. That’s why I’m here. You wanted  me, and I gave myself to you. You are horrific, and finally, 

I have someone to share my horrors with.  

You can finally hear it, can’t you?  

The heart of a rabbit racing in the wolf,  

and the epitaph of something long gone in mine.

The Disruptive Mirror: Reclaiming Female Desire in "The Mirror"

In the male-gazed world of Indian cinema, female desire has long been a radical disruption -  acknowledged yet swiftly punished, fetishized yet contained. Konkona Sen Sharma's “The Mirror '' from the Lust Stories 2 anthology subverts this trope, unflinchingly holding up a mirror to the complexities of female sexuality. Through masterful visuals and searing performances by Amruta Subhash and Tillotama Shome, the short film demands that we not just glance but stare - at the raw yearning, the unabashed kink, the unapologetic claiming of pleasure. Right from the opening frames, "The Mirror" establishes the centrality of the female gaze. The first erotic encounter is staged not as a salacious reveal but an awkward stumbling - one woman catching another in a profound moment of intimacy neither are able to articulate. One woman keeping a secret the other doesn’t know. The fact that Ishita continues to watch Seema and her husband without their knowledge after catching the...

Apocalyptic Urbanscapes: Gigi Scaria's Multimedia Visions of Displacement, Ecological Devastation and Reimagined Habitats

 Gigi Scaria is an acclaimed Indian artist whose multidisciplinary practice has spanned a diverse range of mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, installation and video art over the past two decades. While his early career began with representational painting, Scaria quickly gravitated towards an experimental approach that allowed him to transcend the boundaries of individual artistic disciplines. At the core of Scaria's artistic explorations are profound inquiries into the phenomena of urbanisation, migration, displacement and more recently, the environmental crisis. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences of moving from a small village in Kerala to the bustling metropolis of Delhi, Scaria's works interrogate the intended and unintended consequences of rapid urban development. His oeuvre provides searing artistic commentary on the alienation, chaos and rigid social hierarchies that arise from unchecked expansion of Indian cities driven by policies prioritisin...

A Critical Background of "A Broken Sword"

Image
"A Broken Sword" is a collection of my writings which I transformed into my thesis for my Creative Writing Minor at Ashoka University, Sonipat. This essay explores why I wrote it, and the technical and artistic choices I have made in the thesis. You can find a PDF to the thesis linked below. A Broken Sword by Aryaman Kakkar (2023) I have been writing poetry since I was 11 years old. It started out as a way to deal with the separation from home, as I had gotten admission into a boarding school at the time. I started out like most kids, with rhyming poetry. Wrote some twenty-something poems over the course of two years. Until I was introduced to Spoken Word poetry through Shane Koyzcan's “To This Day”. It was in 8th Grade, in Ms. Priya Chauhan's English class, when she projected the YouTube video performance in a dark classroom and everything changed for me. Fortunately, around the same time, a new teacher joined school. Ms Malvika Kala was a teacher of German, having c...

Watch it Bloom

Watch it bloom. Lilies in the palms of your hands, their scent sickeningly sweet. You remember the slightest whiff could kill cats and they wilt, crumbling, falling, settling.    Orchids encircle your forearms, double helix thrones for the raat ki raanis that bud in the spaces between, where the finger meets the palm, meets the wrist, the orchids, the vines, the branches here. Breathe. Feel the winds of the oncoming monsoon storm here. Remember? The way the wind pushes your hand and you're flooded with the memories of all the times you did this before. The glee of an unsullied childhood, we didn't know so much about the world before.  Would we have noticed the heat then? How the rain comes quicker now, the summer blaze setting fire to everywhere, everything.  Breathe. Feel the wind holding your hand. Ventus meets flower meets epidermis, blood, bone. How it seeps deep into your being. The chill melding with the heat of life, clashing, waltzing.  Tornadoes happen...

It isn’t polite

  My mother grew up with silent tongues in a house she still divides between the in-laws and her own.  Brilliant, her words are the gales before a monsoon storm, what flight truly is: joyous. I am terrified of  becoming like you, who hides different versions of the same whole. How much longer than 21 years do  you need? It is not a home if you still feel the need to call it the kitchen ‘hers’ and not your own. These  silences teach me that sometimes joining them means beating yourself into submission, derelict and  wasted in your mind. This fear, this anger that you see comes from fear, mother. Terror that one day I will  be silent too long, and before long, I won't be the only one the beating myself up. It is a cruel irony of  sorts: my mother who never speaks at all, my father to roars his rage with every drive of his phone, his  free hand swords cutting down enemies in his path. You'd be surprised by the number of times I say  ‘hypocr...
