Smile!

When the world seems small but your world seems big,
when you're looking for a reason but you cant find any,
when its a tale you're telling but you're also only a listener,
when you wanna sleep but you end up waiting,
when you don care if its right or wrong,
when you wanna talk loads but you're often speechless,
when what you want is beyond what u only want,
when you know you're writing nonsense on your blog but you cant help it,

when you're smiling all the time,
here there, and about every that and this,

you know its more than what you think it is!

Pangs I

Wrench
in the sponge ball of pain
like one of those little invisible concentric hexagonal entities
inside a beehive's honey secreting chambers....

You're too full to squeeze in,
You're just empty if u sqeeze out!

Banking On....!

Bleed goodthings,
a million wipes flash across your skin.
Bleed blood,
u hafta wait for the clot.

When you bleed
anytime,
stop,

pause for a bit,

look around dimwit,
with unbiased eyes,
what holds you when you're hit!

Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara!

Refreshing! I watched this movie today and came out feeling very pleasant, rejuvinated and merry.

There's nothing significant about the plot per se; its jus constantly driving in the point that the title subsumes - Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara....so there are the 3 protagonists Hrithik Roshan (nice!), Abhay Deol (nicer!) and Farhan Akhtar (nicest and one of my fav stars :)) who set out for a holiday in Spain to face their fears and inhibitions.

So the film has quite a bit of good humour and the music is superlative keeping the mood and the energy at appropriate levels. The pace is not perfect and kinda gets loose at times but the constant dose of poetic commentary kept me involved throughout....so i've no complaints!

Farhan Akhtar is brilliant; he's witty, honest and extremely cute. Hrithik is so-so, I couldnt connect much with him. But my pick would be Abhay Deol; maybe I did not expect this much from him....the guy's character of this peeved yet composed, funny yet bullied high society gentleman was sooo real and well executed....:)

I'll sign off leaving you with these lines that I found profound:

Dil, tu aakhir kyu rota hai,
Duniya mey yuhi hota hai

(Whistle Whistle!!! :))

Drifting!

Like the edges of a railway track,
two parallels run between us.

Exteriors -
fierce,
strong,
unyielding,
abrasive,
high friction
- thrust their weight upon each other indirectly through mother earth!

Thank God for accidents -
we too shall meet -
even if thats only during a derailment!

The microcosm of me!

It takes just a tiny droplet of dew -
sitting tight on a single healthy leaf,
like soul consumed by undying resolve,
absorbing every ounce of white gleam

before releasing the spectacular visual of
colour
vibrance
energy
purity
sincerity

- to teach us the colours of life.

I smile and sigh as I say -
its always the small things...always...
its always the small things that contain...sustain...my world...our world!

PS - Why am I happy today...still trying to figure out! :)

Dor

- Is a very pleasant journey of two women who seek justice. The story is heart wrenching and strength inducing together.

- I'm a Nagesh Kukunoor fan from Hyderabad Blues and have loved the way he's evolved through 3 Deewarein and Iqbal ...and Dor has jus reinforced this liking!

- Wanna leave you with these lines from the movie:

Yeh hosla, kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo, kaise ruke,
Manzil mushkil tho kya,
Dhundla saahil tho kya,
Tanha yeh dil toh kya!!!

(How can u allow your resolve to budge,
How can you ask your desires to vanish,
So wot if the goal is hard to achieve,
So wot if things look hazy,
and so wot if your heart's lonely)

PS - the translation's not half as effective as the words in hindi :)

Tranquilllllllllllllllllllll!!! :)

Threads of cold air seep into the expanding peripheries of my nostrils;

they weave through the vacuum
through my wind pipe
u
p
w
a
r
d
s
into that puckered mass of matter - the head
before falling like saving grace into my throbbing heart .

Between the lung, head and heart,
even the obvious obtuse is a right angle...



PS - A very comforting day today....despite the tiredness with sitting late in office and the struggle with getting back home (no autos), I'm pleasantly happy, calm and relaxed :)
.....I always told u guys - There's sumthing about these rains :)....Cheers :)

Life Load Balancing!

x-shaped humps on twisted iron filaments,
v-shaped legs from the side angle,
u-like feet tread on the seeming lines.

When each step is a foot on wire,
NOW
is what matters!

Crushed!

Screaming un-vitality perches unplanned on the fence of my imagination
like a little senile bird that has got to release its goosey insecurity into its fragile environs.

I sit down with moist eyes
n resort to my only recourse to this all pervasive ever existant issue -
living on a prayer!
