Expect no more,

What must one do &amp; with what shall one abide.



Expect no more,

Subject it not to any suppression, don’t pass any decree.



Expect no more,

If you cannot reciprocate;

It’s nature’s law, not your destiny or fate.

In the dark of the night, 
a world falls asleep and another rises;

In the dark of the night,
thoughts acquire a voice;
you listen and question your every choice.

In the dark of the night,
evil comes knocking;
you shut the door but it just keeps talking.

In the dark of the night,
tears find a way out;
the lips remain silent, though, they'd rather shout.

If you have seen and liked, Dibakar Banerjee’s previous two flicks – Khosla ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky! , you wouldn’t be wrong in having high expectations from this one. LSD is definitely different, new age and falls in the slice-of-life genre but unlike his previous ventures, this one leaves a lot to be desired.
