“You know what is the problem with trust??
It really stops the conversation, because you take the things for granted,
Things value less to you because you know that, that thing is going to be there for you, no matter what,
You stop talking about love because you believe that you've got the saturation point in your relationship,
And you've got her completely,
And that is the problem. You don’t own her,
Because sometimes love is not enough,
And bad is strong to iterate itself with you,
It is much stronger to come back.”
― Nishikant, The Papery Onions

“All she captures is a moment and what she calls it is a memory,
Sometimes, it is assumptions that we use; all we need is a theory,

And all you need is a vision to make a perfect picture.
I feel that I have known you for a century,
And whatever she calls is a memory.”

“Chimerical words, the words were written,
Some are wasted; some are still on the page,
Tattered words, the words were written,
Some are young, some are aged,
Gloomy words, the words were written,
Some are unspoken, some are told,
Words were hurt, though they can heal,
Words are breathless, though can feel,
Words won hearts, words shattered hearts,
Words lost battles, words won wars,
Wars within, words had scars.”
― Nishikant, The Papery Onions

“Words are never frail. They have all the powers to change the personality and features of a man. The way he relates and depicts the things are based on the words he discovers. At one point where words portray happiness for someone, it also counts for the tears to some. The day we comprehend the strength of words, we would choose them more closely and patiently. Where we would prefer silence more over words. If words are our strength, they are our weakness too.”
― Nishikant, The Papery Onions

“Red eyes, clogged vessels, tanned cells and septum holes,
She came up to me with an ashtray, and a bunch of tobacco rolls,
I mean, how can I fill the gap that you've created??
How could I switch the clock back to the past, for the time I have wasted?
I have gone a sedate now; the heart has stopped pumping zeal into my head,
And for the hole in my heart, which is so dead now, which has run out of life now,
I carry the loads of moments that you've endowed.”
― Nishikant, The Papery Onions

“In the shadows, we all are the same. Dark, inconsistent and indifferent. And if someone loves you dark, he loves all of you. Because when it is dark, the shadow is within you. It is the light that differentiates us with an identity. It is the light that marks our shadows.
Light never guarantees love.”
― Nishikant, The Papery Onions

“You and I happen to one another every day,
Run. Collide. Disseminate. Scatter. Float. Under the melted atom.
But did not react and were not ashed away.
Every day, we happen to each other,
To anticipate the lost words of a half-burned paper.
To salvage our shattered bits of heart.”
