What's on my mind today..!!

This disillusionment this haziness makes me wonder, Was there ever a purpose or have I just lost it now ? That alacrity seems to have vanished, Purpose disappeared and my being famished. Is there a reason that reason wants me to find ? The forces are evading, nothing seems to unwind Never had this feeling of not having a purpose before Bouncing in the waves, not knowing where to find the shore.. This is no sadness this is no pain What do I call it when it doesn't matter whether I lose or gain Moments ago, what I was losing mattered and the stakes were high No longer is this the case and I don't know why ??????

Sitting in my balcony with a cup of coffee, staring at the vast expanse of coconut trees stretching into infinity...this thought struck me like a lightening bolt or probably not so suddenly....Recent events in and around my life forced me to think...Where is this education taking us ? What is its use ? Is this journey worthwhile ? Am I moving forward or backward ? ...and I penned these words down. Education is to create, is not to destroy is to make, is not to break is to rise in humility, is not to fall in pride is to achieve synergy, is not to claim equity is to empower you, is not to victimize you is to build relationships, is not to build egos !

This hollow that words cannot express, I long for peace, nothing more nothing less This fear that grips me amidst all laughter, Those castles made in years will shatter a moment after This dazzle and glitter has parched my soul, leaves me barren and shaken, it takes its toll. Peace evades and I am chasing, Stars wink at me and I am gazing...!!

For this is what Yamuna named her and this was the only word that we exchanged apart from the word 'yamuna'. It is strange how two strangers connect in a bond so special, that even before they part, they feel the force causing a stir within..! In the past two months, the only source of exchange with her (mamma) has been through Yamuna and yet I am awed by her capacity to Love and Give. She is an important experience that happened to me here, she is a lesson to take. Let us know her better. She is around 65 years of age or may be more usually draped in a Red and Yellow Saari and mostly accompanied with that heartfelt smile, which you know can only make your gloomy day fine or a tiring day at office refreshing. She doesn’t know that the world exists beyond Chennai, and any other language beyond Tamil. She has never seen people who do not speak Tamil, and thinks they don’t belong to India. For all my inability to communicate with her, she knows that I am a 3 times clas...

The feeling after reading a book...a story that consumed you for the last few days, its so strange that it cannot be put it into words. That air that moves in the hollow of the stomach is so new..sometimes bringing ecstacy sometimes just pain. I just finished Mockingjay by Suzzane Collins...not just am I in love with her writing but I have equally strong emotions for each of her characters. I wonder how is it possible to evoke such feelings from the reader inspite of the fact that I know they are virtual people. How unknowingly does it happen that I start associating myself with those characters in the story and sometimes map them to the people around me..I wonder how these worlds tranform into each other throwing me back and forth between reality and virtuality....!! Its a feeling of evading the reality, living in those unreal worlds, yet facing those same questions that you evade... The depth of emotions, the brutality of the choices to be made, the struggle to find reason b...

You are losing that what you were proud of, Your magnanimity, this envy will dwarf This unrest fills you with shame, How can you lose faith ? You know its a long game... You make you own destiny, revel in work hard, Be kind to others, hold yourself in high regard. You restore that tranquility or your identity you loose, In this battle with self, you will be what you choose..!!

This one is for only those special ones...Reliving those beautiful moments shared with you....!! A journey which was to give 48 hours of complete life, A little hustle bustle at the onset was not a lot of strife The stess melted on the tongue with a yummy five star, "Gabbar Gabbar, where's my gift ?" were voices reaching near and far The chill, the thrill, the breeze had driven the sleep away, Though eager we were for the destination, but content on the way! Call him 'T2' or call him 'Drunk', we discussed for a while His existence threatened, for people fought over amphibian or reptile..! We found our way back, accompanied with music from hens, Surprising it was, among us, they found long lost frenz..!! ;) The fort stood tall and silent, in all its past glory, The winds did the talking, telling us its proud story... For that 'bhindi' and 'aam ki chutney', one can renounce the earth, That food was 'salvation', beyo...
