My Life ... My Journey

Have you ever felt as if you are swimming unconsciously in an active sea where you can feel something happening around you but you feel detached from it as if in state of coma ? ... I know it sounds awkward but I am sure there are many like me who must have felt something similar at one point of time or other. It may be some kind of delusion or psychological effect that one gradually slides into passiveness. You feel as if you are a pupa who has lost the will of coming out of cocoon. These moments might be quite troubling. You may want to overcome lethargy, but the comfort of inactivity pulls you back. You simply don't know what to do about this situation. Even your mind fails to answer your questions. On a deeper note, perhaps one has slid into aimlessness. It may be momentarily. You may have certain targets to achieve but you know there is no urgency. And when this thought starts taking control over your mind and thought process, you fall into a state of hibernation. While animal...

The general elections 2009 brought its own expectations, enchantments, disillusions, and uncertainty. The citizens of the largest democracy had many issues in mind while they decide what best suits there future. Some were responsible enough to utilise the opportunity of making decisions for themselves and the entire nation while others preferred to be 'Pappu' enjoying the spicy political news presented in form of raw entertainment (a feat only our media can achieve) from a distance. With Election Commission banning exit polls during elections, the analysts and political parties gauged aam aadmi's mind by media reports about daily changing political formations, out of blue statements of netas, verbal duels, and the various permutation and combinations of factors(caste, religion, charismatic leaders and plethora of other local issues) leading to victory or defeat. This all seemed to be even more fascinating at moments as compared to India's first love Cricket(IPL). In a...

In the calm of the night the tick-tick of the clock increases and the time lonely seems to fly by collecting the accounts of everyone's deeds While humans are asleep, their luck is decided by the actions of the past by the Creator of All Freedom of action; freedom to use time freedom to choose one's own fate He is the judge, we are the players blessed to live, the way we want Thou shall waste thy precious time But look o look! the time passes by ....

Though silence surrounds Tranquillity is out of bounds My heart is pacing And my mind racing Creating untamed dreams Fantasy world it seems Day or night, doesn’t matter The world is in constant chatter Time for oneself Too precious but not rare Opportunities are many How many? ... Too many Alas! They come and go in a flash Desires ... sought or unsought Whom they do not haunt? Conscience goes wry As we live in a world of lie(s) The voice within – muted and fretted Raises its head, to be crushed again The eyes are blinded by sparkles of joys Which are nothing but a part of Devil’s plan And all that glitters is not gold My senses are too drunk to feel that And when the devil executes its final plan The senses are back but to no use As the lethal blow has been delivered By no one else but myself, but myself... The sky has fallen....

It has been a while since i put up my last post. I was busy for whole two months and didn't find time for it. No way.  'Business' is something I would love. It comes to me like rains in a hot desert. Sign of happiness ... but wait am I accustomed to it ? Probably no and hence it becomes difficult to handle. When this happiness turns to euphoria, it may bring deluge like the one we saw in Barmer ( Thar Desert ). But by God's grace I have not seen rains like that and I still yearn for these rains just like the thirsty desert. And so when I looked at the sky in the night longingly, it immediately caught my imagination. I worked to express my love, my attachment to the night sky. It looks more splendid and mysterious than any pretty young lady who inhabits this planet. With twinkling stars and celestial bodies, nebulae, galaxies which appear like embroidery on her long flowing black attire, it is not strange if I were mesmerised by her charm. I wrote a poem to her, a smal...

A very happy and prosperous new year to all. With a new year, it is a time for resolutions and changes. Only time will tell how many of these are kept, it has been a conventional exercise. Though everyone wants to lead a better and more satisfying life, taste more success and get rid of some bad old habits, not everyone is able to free self from the cobwebs that have settled around him/her. Does everyone actually needs to go through this overhaul or it is just another attempt of aping those self-styled perfectionists. Though the issue is surely debatable, its not wise to go discussing it threadbare at this moment. 2008 would remain scratched in the memories of Indians for long. After all, a lot of unusual things happened. While the terrorists who bombed stealthily the arteries of India came out full frontal exposing how vulnerable aam aadmi is, India progressed on other fronts like launching chandrayaan or winning 3 medals in Olympics. The recession which started from US had its side-e...
