    He reads "Smoking Kills" every day like a weather report and lights up anyway. She never missed a Sunday. Never carried anything heavy. Never asked a question she wasn't ready to sit inside. Together they talk about God, luck, jellyfish, and why the universe rolls dice with no concern for who wins. Some conversations change everything. Some things can't be explained after.

    A sublime confession how love for a man can sometimes be one sided and that in order for it to prosper, one must carry on why thinking of thoughts that will leave an abstract hole between reality and spirituality. How each word spoken are melted plates of gold that will never glaciate, and will only live on as a dream. an abstract longing, incurable and dispiriting. Thinking simply of thoughts, one must weight the heaviness of such emotion amidst the crisis of change.

    HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP After falling asleep to a video of the "nihilist penguin", Lian Min wakes at 3 a.m. to wet footprints and melting snow in his studio apartment in a country of perennial summer. On tracing the footprints to the corridor, he discovers a world in stasis where he is the only one who can still move. That's the least of his worries, however. Various flowers begin sprouting in his living room and the footprints change trails without warning, leading him to discover things about his neighbourhood that he never knew and perhaps should not know. Then the trail goes cold.

    *This writing is presented as an outline of a book you already half-remember. A testament in our very genes and memes. It does not argue or command. It does not claim revelation. What begins as philosophy turns into parody, and what begins as parody folds back into reflection. A table of contents for a book that's not there - but absolutely exists.

    Adrian Keller's life is ordinary-until a single letter changes everything: "You are hereby summoned for the crime of being alive." Suddenly, the world twists into corridors that stretch endlessly, doors that lead nowhere, and shadows that seem to watch his every move. A faceless bureaucrat, Mr. Grey, awaits to judge him. Guided by the steadfast faith of Elias, challenged by the cold logic of Maxim, and haunted by the quiet intensity of Clara Weiss, Adrian must navigate a surreal labyrinth where every step questions reality itself. In a city indifferent to suffering, Adrian faces a trial with no rules, a verdict with no clarity, and a question that cannot be ignored: what does it truly mean to exist? The Trial of Existence is a dark, philosophical journey blending the unsettling surrealism of Kafka, the moral intensity of Dostoevsky, and the existential absurdity of Camus. A story about guilt, identity, love, and the fragile human spirit standing against a universe that refuses to explain itself.

    Another collection of poems and unused song lyrics. The earliest ones date back to 2015 and 2016. A lot of them are complete absurdity. Like the title says. I decided to include a few poems from a poetry project back in high school, because I heard that my English teacher passed away.

    Exploring an isolated instance of a peculiar encounter, i take you on a journey through one of my dreams, they have always been really weird. I absolutely love finding metaphorical meanings in them, possibly as a way to understand them, but more likely as a means to cope with them. In the first installment of a short story series called "Dreams: A journey into the absurd", I hope to take you on an adventure through one of them. I greatly appreciate you taking time out of the current dream-like state of the world to read my story. I hope it resonates with you as it did with me. And more importantly if it does, feel free to share, and see you on the next one. PS im open to any and all criticism, and tbh i kinda enjoy it, so gimme your best thoughts. PS PS This is my first time posting anything like this so ples be nice or dont, eh honestly do what you must besties.

    ABSTRACT This paper deals with the language used by one of the most famous modern writer EUGENE IONESCO (1909-1994), in his plays,The Chairs and The Bald Soprano. Ionesco is the writer whose sense of literature incorporated with the experiences he gained from his life and the observations that he made in society and people around him.The usage of language in his works we can say, to some extent, is quite similar to other modern writers who motivated their thoughts and writing skills to write in an absurd manner and portray the extreme level of absurdity of human and worlds in their works. But as every writer is having their own way of flourishing the works, like through plot, character, dialogues and scenes and so on. Ionesco too had his way of presenting the levels of absurdity in the society and his technique was 'Language'. He is often called as Man of Anti-Theatre, because of his presentation of language as an impossible means of communication. The paper will present these points briefly and will focus on the two above mentioned texts in detail.

    This is the story of Dawgpur, an Indian town that nobody can locate on a map, mostly because it's a figment of my (yvs') imagination. Dawgpur has a unique set of residents, like Chhotu- a 5-year-old who is too tall for his age. Or his father Lambu, a madari (monkey-charmer), who is too short for his age. Or Lana del Jogo, a primatologist and Chhotu's mother, who is just the right height but still sticks out like a sore thumb. The only creature that fits in the family is Raquesh Albert Mancini, a Golden Langur with a penchant for literature and high art. But things go apeshit when the Langur's dark past comes around to haunt the family. Dawgpur is a documentation of the life and times of the Dawgpurians, an enquiry into the twisted, absurd and somewhat comical nature of our own being.
