Wherefore art thou?

2011-09-24T23:56:00.000+05:30

On a summer morning,
As she sat surrounded in mist,
With her eyes closed,
Fevering a prayer.

She heard a whisper in the air.
Enchanting was the breath.
And felt the quilt cover her,
as she discovered the wall.

She now flew high,
She now dove deep,
Still, crossing the barriers,
She asked, Wherefore art thou?

Do i cry?

2011-03-27T13:54:00.003+05:30

Do you cry while watching a movie?

My friends have often posed this question and my answer is - yes, bitterly when i saw this movie and its ending!

The ending - it is totally unexpected when you u watch it for the first time, meaningful when u watch it the second time, soulful when you watch it for the third time and beautiful whenever you watch it every other time!!!

Enjoy!

There was movement far away,
an oceanic image on land,
i watched each gallop it took,
a gentle turn it made,
before i became a part.

It shook hands at first,
whispered in my ears,
before wishing me a goodbye,
almost swayed my hair high,
as it travelled far away.

Abe Lincoln's Quote

2010-04-17T11:49:00.003+05:30

“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already. It is but a small matter whether you read with anybody or not. I did not read with anyone. Getting the books, and read and study them till you understand them in their principal feature; and that is the main thing. It is of no consequence to be in a large town while you are reading. I read at New Salem, which never had 300 people living in it. The books and your capacity for understanding them, are just the same in all places. Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing”

Life is the union of walks, each filled with crossroads marked with the milestones.

What can be more alien then the heart? What it want is something which even the owner may not be aware of…. And my heart is no different.

Footprints

2009-07-28T18:08:00.003+05:30

As the mist surrounds the heart aches, with no real pain its just what the heart seeks it is easy to be lost now as the footprints aren't seen the wind get warm fear of the demons.
And soon they appear alongwith the brightness of the flames could the warmth be of it,when its so far while the demons are to close the desire to know makes the lips say the prayer to see the footprints that got me here soon i engrave new ones leading to.....

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

All in Heart

2008-09-09T22:08:00.003+05:30

I was too old to understand the answer
but was too young to understand the questions

Sometime i searched my surroundings
sometime i searched myself
the journey seemed so long
and the thoughts bothered me on and on.

on the highway of my thoughts
there were many toll counters
i was taken off my valuables
but the thoughts stayed on

i thought of it as my final journey
so i moved on with excitement
priceless has always been ones time
so i tried to hold it.

Call it my youth or inexperience but i learnt,
time like me was free so i had to wait for moments to come
cause what comes before time
i stopped to sit on a cliff over the valley

i cried as i saw the depth of my faults
and the streams of gains
everything was lost at once but,
my thoughts that lay safe and untouched were yet to be answered.

with nobody around i sensed the gift of silence
i soon began to speak to myself not for the first time,
but it was different now Someone answered those doubts

And we were in an conversation Heart - to - heart

it wasnt too late before i smiled
i enjoyed the doubts cause i was getting the replies
i was back on my highway of thoughts
travelling miles without a toll

All that i had see and known before sitting on the cliff
All that i wanted to know i got it all
- All in heart.

So little So BIG

2008-09-09T21:29:00.003+05:30

When i was a little one
Life was so big
When i laughed it meant nothing
when i cried it meant so many things

when i spoke a word
i knew it all
when i took a step
out the world awaited conquer

when i had learnt all the words
books were countless
when i had walked only a mile
roads were all mapped

when i cried a little
happiness meant so much
when i was a big one
life was so small

BEACH UNDER THE SUN

2008-08-19T15:29:00.005+05:30

Under the Shining Sun
A spell in my ear
Over the fields of crystal sand
A gush of emotions

Amidst the sparkling waters
A twirl to the lips
Walking step by step
A dig into the spirits

The engraved sand gives
A look to remember
As the clouds speak of
A new season to arrive

The rocks of possibility
A fear unseen
The trees of choir
A song unheard

The flock of birds creating
A vision magically sound
Nothing left to be said with
A look into the eyes

Far and stretched
A dream that occurs
While breeze that blows
A kiss to recognize.

2008-07-25T23:17:00.002+05:30

A minute left to be forgotten
In an hour of life
Is the real test of time!
So just face it all.
One experience above all
Yet wished never at all
One fact of life
Easily ignored by all
Compared to its contrary
It makes one lonely
Only to help us
Bring the inside out if one can be quantified don’t forget the other just mark off the limit and avoid the baring what matters is the end the state be such that the real spirit salutes the living.

Good or Evil

2008-06-29T23:12:00.002+05:30

Good or Evil both exit in our mind not in our actions.

Actions are Karma.
Karma is Dharma.
Dharma is Religion.
Religion is Belief.
Belief is Trust.
Trust is Essential.
Essential is Struggle.
Struggle is Survival.
Survival is Fittest.
Fittest is Ruler.
Ruler is Mind.
Minds are Evolutions.
Evolutions are with Time.

And Only Time can distinguish Good from evil.

Hands immersed in the wet sand;
A smile engraves the memory.
A touch to the soul;
With just a glimpse into the eyes.
A strong rush of the emotions;
Doubts raised in the heart,
become a conflict in the mind;
and so they stand parallel.
When the clouds have rained;
Enters the fear of moss.
The thoughts afloat;
and All seems like trance.

Two strangers

Once meet in a crowd

In deep thoughts and

Without words walked

Entering a memory lane

They joined hands

It was a season

To cherish and go on

But, when the winds changed

They were left cold

With hearts pondering

Still never looked back

Only took some steps

Without any hope

Shaken in cold

They graved the sand

It was season

With new horizon

Amazingly, the pleasant winds

Left no strangers by

2007-11-10T22:45:00.001+05:30

Names aren’t unknown

Faces aren’t strange

Still a chord is needed

But not to be played

Out of so many

One goes for just one

Nothing was forever

For a while they go

Talk becomes the bonus

When done among hearts

Filling the voids

As on different paths

Crossing the hurdles

With a little faith

Goodness and all

Isn’t required to cross an age

Presence is what helps

Capture the lost time

Hope it continues

Is the only prayer

This one is an African Proverb...

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. He has to be able to run faster than the fastest lion.

If he cannot, then he will be food.

Every morning in Africa, a lion awakens. He has to be able to run faster than the slowest gazelle.

If he cannot, he will die of hunger.

Regardless of whether you are a lion or a gazelle, with the rising sun, you must run.

And you must run faster than you did yesterday or you will die.

This is the race of life."

Sometimes its difficult to recognize a fragnance.
Who knew it then, that the wind could play such games.
But what could stop when one is a finder, and the other was a rescuer.
who knew what their mind speaks.

As ever time moves on, but can the finder stop, the side of rescuer, gives the trust in the finder.
the two ends meet time and again to only find the differences.
Strangely the trust deepens as they are the only ones.
Not affected by the winds, the fragance now gets a name, the game has build a bond, which is the only reward.

It was the view of the mystic river from the temple
I call it- blissful luxury
When the heart and mind aspires a dream at once.
Now it must be accomplished.

I ponder the plan again and again;
Is it a goal or a wish?
As time passes by
The pebbles move along with the water.

What do I do now?
How can I hear a silent river?
I need the pebbles,
need them Crying aloud, hear my own voice.

Collecting pebbles that’s my job!
The forces of nature stop me
But that’s my dream
I fly with them I am on the flight

If I leave I fall hard
If I continue I shall be there
And what if the world looks different
I shall be the same.

I guess I told u said my dear friend
I wondered did she tell me, may be she did say those things to me…what was it??!!

You see she tells me a lot of stuff! Now what mattered was, was it of any significance today?
Well why am I getting confused, wasn’t she the one who is so confused, for matter of fact, she has always been that very confused. I am the one who has been sorting out the problems…. It always gives me peace!

She had to move on and so did she, the troubles also went on increasing as she stepped into the grave sky. But when the time came for me to eat ice cream, I couldn’t see identify my favorite flavor; but she was the one who bought me, and yes my favorite, very rich dark chocolate with caramel almonds…(what a delight!!!!)

And guess what finally I am enjoying the rollercoaster rides she is taking me through. Did she say how about a new ride…
