Rennaissance Again :-)

Frivolously wounded among the timely blades
Vivacious manifestations of 'WAIT' being played-
When will the melodies rise again in rhythm?
Will eons of chimera stagnate seldom?

Why my fate this damn cacophonous?
No answers echoed out in synchronous-
Why my heart in-sync with offbeat?
While space around humming tunes of cadence and greet!

All around I searched for peace and solace-
Not once within my 'self-made' case I gazed-
Arcane hassles of grief,fate and wait-
Cognition of self opens up newer gates!

Rewrite your song in glory and renaissance
The whole world will sing out with you in utmost eminence
Prophecy over the thunderous'WAIT' rupturing the fatal chords
Thats the elysian provided by the LORDS!

My castle in the sky :-)

From eternity,the moon,stars and the night sky have been beatifying the world with the essence of love and euphoria procreating a fantasy to be lived for.Such is the magic of the moon and stars which has given way to numerous great literatures of love , romance , imagination, inspiration and what not, which indeed are glorifying.I m just another commoner.How could I not fall under the spell of MOON???The following lines which are in kannada is the result of moon jinx over me.
Enjoy maadi!! :-)

The mind - As I see it .

This is what I deeply felt at the pace of life which is moving me.

The greatest sickness that has affected man-kind from ages is that we are not happy with the normalcy of our surroundings.For instance,if its summer,this MIND dreams about the cool pleasant winters.And when its winter what this MIND longs for is the warmth of the sun.And if at all nature exposes its anger,we blame THE CREATOR for mocking at us with HIS bad joke.What the mind examines and finds out is about what it is lacking in and not about what so far it has filled in.Such is the default case of mind.But working in the default mode is insipid.

To spice up the life what needs to be done is addition of a new evolved theme of MIND wherein nature of mind (desiring a step higher than normalcy) remains unchanged but the attitude of tackling is modified. Its about keeping our eyes open and looking out for existing possibilities to emerge out of ignorance rather than getting stuck with non existing typical behaviours.

Let me make it more clearer as I see it .Traditional cars consisted of just three gears(Let this be the Default case).But mileage was the compromised factor.As traditional cars evolved to be the MODERN day machines with additional two gears,the result was better mileage and performance which entirely grew from the basic nature of cars itself.

One of learnt men once said - "Sometimes it is impossible to stop the river of life".But what we can do is improve the quality of life by the simple exercise of evolving the MIND and making life worth living for.Hope you unwrap the top gear and move on with it in this car of life.

Can u resist not yawning???

As I was indolently lying down on the couch of our living room , meddling with the invention of John Logie Baird , what flashed in front of my eyes was the advertisement. The very advertisement of 'Kurl-on' matrress! What my eyes saw was people gaping ! In simpler words , people yawning with mouth wide open and breathing in deeply. My immediate reflex,even before I could sense-I had gaped.

"How funny ?",I thought.I knew yawning was contagious and people usually end up yawning seeing someone next gape.But what puzzled me was the sensitivity of mind!! Its adaption and reflex worked even with just a vision of yawning on the 'chatter-box':-) Similar to the ways emotions depicted on movies move us from within if carried out in a truly touching sense.:-)But then what about people who are blind??;-)Maybe sound of yawn makes them reflexly yawn too ....God knows!!:-)

Have I provoked a yawn out of you yet? If I have, hopefully it's not out of boredom, but by the power of suggestion :-)Even while writing up this post I have yawned more than a dozen times...he he:-).....such is the sensitivity of mind and in this case of yawning it regulates the carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood.

Thus,began my musings when it struck to my memory how I had teased Roshni on the way back from college that oxygen deficit aneamic people like her yawn all the time and active people like me are always full of oxygen:-)Memories..so vague at times,yet so unique.;-)

Further down my thoughtful lane,what emerged out was the mythical belief which says that we yawn, when someone remembers us. I have always wondered who would be remembering me???Do I yawn if souls in heaven remember me?? Or is it my dream-boy who thinks about me and I yawn?;-)But how do I find out WHO thinks about me that I end up gaping ?? Is it just boredom and frustration ?? Or is it out of nature's influences(Pancha Bhutas : AKASHA, VAYU, AGNI, JALA and PRITHVI)that drives your being,make a mark about its profound existence through the action of VAYU??

So many thoughts! But the best part,THE best part of all,:-), which I truly enjoy is that yawning rings loud bells in my memory that I need to sleeeeeeep;sleep on my bed under my cosy blanket which carries me to land of dreams.

Happy sleeeeeeeeeppppiiinnnggg!!!!!

Good night!! Sweetest dreams :-)

MY TRIBUTE

Thoughts,faster than the speed of light. Some thoughts are so edifying and some others are just too futile. Thoughts make us what we are, irrespective of their nature. Have you ever mused over the diversity of your THOUGHTS??? Ever imagined yourself without THOUGHTS??? The very statement is a cogitation in itself.

Since the emergence of mankind,its the 'THOUGHT' that has ignited the course of action. Irrespective of differences in colour ,creed ,sex or whether it be a blind man, a dumb man,a deaf man or physically handicapped ones till physically fit kids to grown ups, Thought ---> Thinking is the universal seed which MOTHER NATURE sows in us. Its upto us to nurture it and allow its growth randomly as weeds or like a strong banyan tree which cannot to uprooted easily.

All fairylands , dreams , treasures , wealth , inventions , languages , literature , monuments , dynastries , countries , religion , people , medicine evolve around the globe of 'thoughts' ,all along the sands of time,giving us glimpses of reality through the actions endeavoured.

Aye-Aye captain Nature!!

I bow down to you MOTHER NATURE , salute you for your beautiful creation with all my gratitude, for empowering us with the very gift of THOUGHTS !!! :)

Dedicated to all parents!!!

When things dont turn out our way
Whom do we cry out our heart and say-
Why did I fall again in life?
When will I come out of this strife?

Holding your hands, you will find them near
Answering,reassuring all your fears-
Each dark tunnel ends up in light
Keep patience till it comes to sight.

Showing me God's world,all these years
They are your very own parents dear
They are the ones whom you cant replace
For bringing you up in all grace.

You will find them with you,in your thick and thin
Making you stronger from deep within-
No one ever will love you more
Than your parents,thats for sure.

MY FIRST POEM !!

I wrote this poem when I was in std 8. Enjoy reading!!!

Like an innocent child
Who longs for playful toys;
The 'I' longed for someone,
Who would bring a message of joy.

Hide and seek,
Is the child's favorite game,
But the lonely 'I' seeked,
For a gem with a pure name.

Lost among the woods while playing,
The child cried for the way of outgoing;
Lost in the woods of people with dignified ways,
The 'I' cried for a listener,who would hear what the confused heart say.
The way out lightened-
And the child's face happily brightened;
The search came to an end,
As 'I' found a best friend.

Yet another Poem of mine !!!

Pondering over days passed by
My heart gives a sigh!!
Unexpected instances on the limelight-
Perplexed mind finding no insight!

Hobo like I wandered ringing bells
Could battles be won through echoes of sea shells??
Strike after strike,in all grandeur, treasures I burnt-
Fruitless efforts no PEACE I learnt.

Engulfed by my false existence
Lost heavily not realising my instance
Surrendrance at THY feet, all powerfull will
Endurance and completeness let THY fill.

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself"

It was just another day.Neither did sun rose from West and neither did I win a Nobel prize!!I as usual was checking out scrapbooks and posting scraps. Kudos to Orkut!!I found my little angel!! :-) VAISHNAVI, her name.How would have I known that day, what days ahead would inspire me to do through her?? :-)

YSH and me became great friends.She is a little magician herself. She writes beautiful poems and shayaris.Reading her work ,even I wished to write poems in hindi.Many of us spend half our time wishing for things we could have if we didn't spend half our time wishing.Thats what i realised one precious moment and the result was the poems which i have written, which I have listed below.All thought and written durng last fifteen days.

Thank you YSH! God bless !!

1.

Tumhari ek muskurahat par

Phir se jee utenge hum

Idhar bhi dekho hame

Kyon yeh anjanapan??

Kab se aas lagaye baittein hai

Teri hasi ke ek jalak ka

Usi rah par thama hai

Humari dil ki yeh dhadkan!!

Bahut shikayat hai tumse

Kab pyar karoge humse??

Tham lo, sambhalo hame

Dhikalaho tumara apanapan!!

Abhi hai lamha,abhi hai maukka

Gaata huva hava ka jauka

Jaldi se karlo hum se pyar

Hum hai tumare dildhar!!

2.

Kyon nahi manta yeh dil mera

Choot gaya hai aab sang tera

Aage bhadna zindagi mein humhe

Bhoolkar phichli baathein aur tumhe.

Kyon hote ho mere sapno mein tum

Aur ho jaate ho hakikat mein ghum

Mat karo chedakani is dil se apana

Thut kar bikarega mera yeh sapana.

Kaise karoon mein phir se pyar

Tum hi to ho mere yaar

Samajana dil ko nahi aasaan

Bhoolneki soch se hi mein pareshaan.

Bhool gaye hum hasana

Bhool gaye hum rona

Bas bhi karo aab yeh dhoka

Dhenge tumhe ek aur maukka

Reh gayi bahut si baatein ankhayee

Aanewale to tum ho nahi-

Chalenge us hor tak hum

Jab tak rahe yaadon mein gum,

Aur hum na ho jaye vakht mein tham!!!

3.

Mananevale hum nahi,na chedo jang

Saath le chalo hume apane sang

Mat kar hum par baathon se jaadho

Varana banenge hum sach much ke saadhoo!!

4.

Kehne ko karli baatein

Phir milane ki do char vaade

Hum ne manga tha unka saath

Saath na mila to kyon yeh laath!!

5.

Kambakth ansuhoon ko pene se chadta hai nasha istara

Kambakth ansuhoon ko pene se chadta hai nasha istara

Dard bhi lagata hai apana,

Nasha nahi to kya hai yeh??

Gappe marthe huve namkeen chai pene ka sapna!!!

Life or Illusion?

Food for thought !! Latest among my poems. Here it goes like this:

Never before it occured to me
This illusion of life-
Little kids made me see
The way out of strife!

Over time and efforts on sand
Playfully evovled a fairy land
How could they pull it down???
Joyously without a frown.

Entangled within the dark norms
Swam aimlessly over vivacious swamps
Annoyingly I asked them why
Stumped!! Never was this thought my.

Time, efforts,creation only a game-
Perishment,destruction also the same-
What was built was just a play station
Since when did i believe it to be final destination?

Incredulous was the kids' very act
Embarking me on this invincible pact
Happiness and peace shall always prevail-
Satisfaction, contentment thy heart shall lay!!

Ride onto the other side ...??? Is it greener ...??? :P

I have always wondered how things would have been if they were something else rather than being what they are now!Grass always looks greener on the other side... is it?? Other side has taken different facets during my ride till now.It has been a person, sometimes GOD HIMself was the other side and at few other times 'other side' personified as passed over past or anticipated future :-)

4th june 2007 :-) My birthday....!!! First time ever I was having an exam on my birthday in the last 22 years. But happiest note which kept me going through that day was -

"Last exam ever!4 years of torture at the climax muuhaaaahahaaaaahaaa......" After the final countdown till zero, rest was day was just yet another day ,the usual eat,sleep type!!!

At the fall of day,triggered by my intense passion, in anticipation of excitement and fun, I kick started my darling 6060,my 110 cc honda activa on the bumpy roads.Had I ever imagined it would get greener than this,I never would have been thrilled of riding it till there.

Singing my heart out in the tunes of Bon Jovi "Its my life, now or never.... I m gonna live forever....",I was enjoying the breeze hitting my face.Suddenly the engine stopped roaring and came to a halt."Omigod!!Omigod!!" I had already reached way ahead! wat will I do? I glanced around to find a signpost '7th milestone!'.What was THAT?? Strange!!I wondered.

Even before I could register,I was in a new setup.WHERE AM I?It was then I realised,I was in the days coming ahead.It was the NOW for me, not anymore the anticipated future but the present itself.Where have I landed myself???Am I already working in Wipro? Just yesterday I gave my last paper. I looked around and found myself already in training sessions.New environment,new beggining and I didnt even realise that I started a new phase of life.Am I annemic?Am I suffering from memory loss??But it was the reality . Nothing changed.Many people came and spoke to me,totally new faces .How are they familiar to me?I was very very uncomforatble at the fastforward button pressed in my life.

The next moment I was giving a online test.All questions seemed alien to me.But I could hear the anouncements '90 is the cut-off!' I shouldn't have raced through previous six milestones in such a hurry.Why wouldn my activa break down at a milestone at times when I was hanging out ,having fun with new friends??Why exam again??Mera bad luck hi karab hai! :-(

Tears rolled down my eyes at my plight and I was staring into someone's deep eyes.In his eyes,I could see my mom,sis,bro searching me all over the house,also near our shop asking our shop staff whether they had seen me. My dad had already called Roshni's place and he was engaged in calling other relatives places enquiring my whereabouts.

"I want to go back.Please help me out!Please....", I cried. I could see his face so calm and his eyes were so radiant and his smile was all-answering.I wasnt a stranger to HIM.I could see my activa lying down on the ground."Help me out to find a gas station.I m out of fuel!",I yelled. I opened the tank to show him the empty tank but I was surprised to find the tank full.I kick started once again, but engine didnt roar. He only smiled ..but that smile was reassuring.

He started laughing and removed the fuel pipe.A big air bubble went flying by.My eyes travelled with it high and high until it disappered in the skies. I couldnt find him now around me.I wanted to search him,but something within me told me that I wanted to get back home soon.I kick started again and engine roared to life and without a second thought I drove back until I saw my house gate and rushed in.

Black out!!!!

When I opened my eyes ,I could see my mom,sis,dad,bro plus doctor uncle surrounding me.I could feel a heavy weight on my head.I was then told I had injured myself on the head , hitting myself against the iron shutter of the godown while I rushed into the gate.Mom asked me where I had been?I told I had been to the temple.That time it struck to me wat I had prayed and wat occurred to me unfolded."Thank you God!! You taught me an unforgetable lesson!", relieved I smiled.

Everything happens for GOOD. HE has a story for each one of us.If we try to jump forward or jump backward,it leaves us incomplete,we get lost into no-where.NOW is the only reality. Live upto it to the fullest. And as life's story unfolds, you will realise wat HIS magic wand did to you all the while!!!!
