About me

Apolitical, Agnostic, Liberal, Pluralist

moHAnologues is an attempt to weave through the life of an everyday-everyplace person. It is an attempt to see if I can sit by the roadside and reflect on the long, lonely journey of that introvert child.

The personal blogs and poetry sections hopes to give expression to the inner self; take a peep into the interplay of serendipity, effort, and time in my evolution.

The general blog deals with opinions and viewpoints on matters and ways of the world, largely around me.

mohHAnlogues is a soliloquy as well as a monologue!

My long, lonely walk!

As I walk my lonely path,
As indeed I must,
The wilderness growing around me I know,
Will be the ember on which I will bed,
My last sleep.
Each day I awake, each night I sleep
Is a gift, given for atonement!
Before knowledge was tempered with wisdom,
Before intelligence was
Molded with experience,
There was much amiss.
Much that could have been different, better.
That is what for which,
I seek atonement!
