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!

Refreshed!

I return from known terrain
with a fresh perspective
and
cry as a newcomer,
breathe afresh sans the sleep,
sulk in pain, this time more playfully,
soak in the same moist dreams which have transformed from the saline to more dew-like,

smile at myself,
scream at myself,
groan at my own tantrums...

For in this known terrain
All I know is that
Nothing really is Permanent!

One life to love

This is one show that I used to religiously watch during my pre MBA days...and it felt so good today to see Simran Bhargava, the same Simran Bhargava on the same show today....
So I thot I should blog about it!
'One life to love' is a serene program on NDTV Goodtimes that discusses various facets of human life such as relationships, leisure, evil, perceptions, etc etc. The show encompasses conversations with noteworthy experts and presents ready food for thought. One thing that strikes me different about this program is that while it discusses issues from end to end - all sides to a given point - it doesnt impose on u, any view.
The show host is a well known writer/editor who deals with each concept in a lucid, bare and simple manner and creates a certain trance that helps you develop your own opinion while questioning it at each stage of development.
Today's theme was - The Paranormal....and needless to say, my mind's now open to discuss even this, which was obviously not the case before. I would either brush this off as utter crap or change the topic out of sheer fear.....now of course, its a different story altogether! :)

SleepResistant!

Dig deep in the debris,
There's kith, there's kin, there's company,

One level down,
Ah! those lovely little intelligent readings,

Next down,
Its life's lessons that loom large in the name of experience,

High tide like memories

Turbulent conversations

Abandoned love

Ongoing love

Unyielding cries

Forgotten doom

Sorrow, grief and other synonyms

Clawless fingers clenching onto nothingness

Piece

Peace

Melancholy.....sigh!

127 Hours

What is it about goriness and my aversion to it...
I did not like "127 Hours"!!!
