My first digital-art work. Om Namah Shivaya!

Bewildered from the very reality I once lived in as I walked into the setting sun in my illusory perception, I thought the world was huge. Later as I was wandering on this planet like The Wandering Jew who was condemned to roam the world for mocking Jesus at the Crucifixion, I learnt that the world was not just huge but it's also the only one in this vast faux darkness and we had no where else to go! For that moment I felt sheer loneliness and the daunt behind it was that the whole universe was helpless because there's no one else in the universe other than us. It was just us fighting and killing each other and turning into bloodletting jack asses and there's no one out there who actually gives a damn. and here we are fighting,waiting for a messiah or a faquir of some kind to stop us from doing the same. I said to my self "It's all a dream and we all are a self-taught lie". But later it occurred to my mind that every single memory of mine was in this dream, in just a melodramatic plebeian dream. The truthful lie was very painful to accept. The lie that am just an illusion, a dream and a lie. It was like the outcome of all my hallucinations which bore no sweet fruits were slapped right across my face and swapped me back to the painful blank reality .
