Dear God, I don't know if you are a perfectionist or not, but there are certain things which are messed up since you have created this BIG Universe, n number of people, n^m number of relations between them(that too complex one) and all those things you know. There should be...I repeat...there should be some proper way to control our feelings. It will help me to LIVE. Sincerely yours creature, Ankur ↗

I’m barely human. I’m more like a creature; to me, everything gives off a scent! Thoughts, moments, feelings, movements, words left unsaid, words barely spoken; they all have a distinct sense, distinct fragrances! Both a smell and a touch! To inhale is to capture, to experience! I can perceive and I can “touch” in so many odd ways! And so I am made up of all these scents, all these feelings! An illumination of nerve endings! ↗
