The Horizon

2011-04-02T03:14:00.000-07:00

She shone like a star on the shades of my dream
She danced like a pearl floating on a stream
As fair as the moon on a full moon day
Her luster brightening my days in gray
As elegant as a lotus growing in a pond
She pulled me into her with an eternal bond
Neither vacant nor occupied was my mind with her thought
Questioning the presence of my soul in her heart
No words that speak my thoughts I find
That rose like a tornado in the spaces of my mind
I wait for the day for our souls to be one
Yet the moment I yearn extends towards the Horizon...

Deprived

“

She appeared nothing less to an angel. Dressed in a sky blue salwar kameez that lay perfectly on her slender form, she outshone the evening sky behind. Her sleek hair floated in the gentle breeze. For a second I felt as if I was in a movie. As if in slow motion I watched her come to a halt a couple of feet from me. Her elegance stopped my heart for a second. She was accompanied by her friend. I sincerely wished I could chuck her friend out of the picture. Thankfully she left after whispering something to the girl. My concentration returned to her. She was completely involved the evening. A childish enthusiasm filled her as the waves touched her feet. Playfully she danced back and forth like a two year old kid. The luster of the bright blue sky was nothing compared to her. The splash of the waves on the rocks filled in like background music.

Gradually the stars came out. The wind grew harsh. As darkness fell, she shone like a moon on the shades of pink. The sand rose at the gale almost blinding many viewers. She turned around shielding herself to the wind. That was the first time I got a complete picture of her. But what caught me in her were her eyes. Shaped similar to the lotus petals, wide and graceful, they shone like diamonds. I was so much engrossed in her beauty that I hadn't noticed my mobile was ringing. It was my mother politely requesting me to return home that instant. Reluctantly I took a step towards her with an intention of walking past her. As I crossed her, she suddenly turned around bumping in me blindly. It was then I realized her friend had been calling her. The girl staggered a little and was caught up immediately by her friend who rushed out of nowhere. I muttered a brief apology to the girl. Her friend spoke up.

'I'm sorry but she's blind', her friend said. Her words struck me like a lightening. The girl gave an apologetic smile that came straight from her heart and extended to her eyes. A smile that enhanced her beauty even more, a smile that excelled all the beauty in the world clubbed, yet a smile that stung my heart like a knife and left me with nothing more than agony and pain.

It's all a part of Game...

2010-07-10T13:21:00.000-07:00

It’s all been a part of the game!

Touching my heart with your every gaze

You pulled me into a pleasantly painful embrace

Made me relish the piercing flame,

but it’s always been a part of the game.

You drifted me through streams of confusion

drowned me in the depths of obsession.

Am I going berserk? Am I going insane?..I hate to deny it 'cause

it's always been part of the game!!

If only I had a moment, although I had no clue

If only I could find a way, to express my love for you

I would never let you go 'cause

My love is my life and it’s entirely you,

'You are not the one to blame',

This, I convince myself thinking it’s always been a part of the game.

The Reason why...

2010-04-03T00:32:00.000-07:00

It didn't seem so right, it didn't seem so true

It didn't seem the way I always felt with you.

I sense myself blushing, I see my eyes trailing you

I hide the smile on my lips, I feel a warmth seeping through.

I look at the moon beautifully bright

I look at the stars that come out every night

I breathe in the air pleasantly wild

but somehow they seem very different tonight.

You filled my days, you filled my dreams

You filled my life in all its streams.

Its you in my deeds, its you in my thoughts

Its you, my love, my heart always wants.

All this is strange, all this is new

but all this is just because i am in love with you!

Thoughts in Silence...

2010-01-03T11:30:00.000-08:00

Every thought about you brings in a torrent of words i wish to tell you

I search for the right ones which unveil my heart but they happen to be very few,

The stream of these thoughts comes to a standstill when you stand before my eyes,

With a fear that they might cost our friendship, i drown them in an ocean of lies,

The moments when you walk beside me, i wish the road would never come to an end

The instant when you appear before me, i hope the time would stop that second

I wish i could look into your heart and search for myself there

But blinded with love, my eyes choose to see none but you everywhere

If you happen to snatch a glance at my heart, mistake it not for a mirror

It's not my fault that images of you are etched in it's every corner

The words i've chosen to express my feelings might be very few

but for now i could not find something better than "I Love You"

The spell of the nature....!!!!!

I was sitting alone in my room scribbling an article on my laptop and moving my fingers in rhythm to the melodies of Ilayaraja. The article reached its end and I was reading the posts on Federer's match with Djokovic, in which the Swiss was sent back in Australian Open. Every time I read the line "The giant monster finally tamed" or "Federer met his equal" or some other papers mentioning that Federer was not concentrating and hence had set fire to his match, a sense of pity takes over me for the reporters. Sitting alone, left to my thoughts, I suddenly shifted my glance to the tree opposite my window. It had already shed many of its leaves and in the remaining, half of them had turned a shade of deep orange. The symptoms of Autumn...I thought and I turned back to my system. But immediately I was back looking out of the window. Was it a trick or did I really see a raindrop!!!??? Just then my mom entered the room and I asked her if it was drizzling. She gave me a very puzzled look and I dismissed that thought from my mind, disappointed. Rain, its something that fascinates me and sets up my spirits high...and now its playing games with me. Again I returned to my laptop and went through my article when suddenly I sensed a tricky change in the weather. One moment the Sun was shining brilliantly and the next moment it looked as if it was evening though it was barely afternoon. This made me gaze at the sky for a long time and then it happened...the very moment I was fantasizing!! It started raining!!! A rush of wind blew into my room bringing along with it a tiny leaf from the tree in our compound right into my nose. It made me laugh instead of annoying me. I immediately opened my blog and was writing this experience when it stopped raining, but the wet sense lingering in the air. What a wonderful incident, I thought!! And the next moment the leaves were glowing bright green under the fresh rays from the Sun...and again it's gone!!! It's the magic of the nature...a spell it cast on the earth for us to rejoice!! The rain drops sliding from the leaves at the wind, the heavenly smell of earth and a calm and silent breeze...but alas! the world is too busy to notice all these. M lucky to b one of the lucky champs who get to see these amazing tricks of nature... Mesmerizing isn't it...the spell of nature...!!!!

Friendship....Life???

2007-11-19T09:21:00.000-08:00

Well, folks, before we start talking about friendship, I want to quote a saying. It goes like this: "Plant a seed of friendship and reap a bouquet of happiness." Jus wanna see how far this is true. Hmm...does frndship play such n imprtnt role? I always used to think friendship is just sharing your thoughts with your pal. But I recently got to know that there is something more than just voicing your thoughts. When many of the people told me that your friend decides your life, I didn't believe them. But it's true!!! Let me share the views I recently acquired on friendship. Friendship is not just spending hours together with your pal, it's not just cracking jokes with him sitting at the beach and definitely not just roaming round the world with the friend. Is there something more than this? Yes...though you haven't been talking for a long time due to your busy schedule, though you haven't met for years; you still talk to each other as if you have been talking everyday...you do not lose the closeness between you...you call that friendship!!!

But why is that friendship and life are connected? Imagine you are walking on road at night time and there is not even a single light on that road. You don't find a single soul other than you in that place. How do you feel? Though you have just walked in to that street from a busy and delightful street, won't you feel scared and lonely? Doesn't this appear similar to life, which if an amalgam of success and failure...happiness and distress? How will you feel if you find another person walking on the same road? Cheerful...relieved and elated...isn't it? Your journey will be happier and relaxed. Having a friend in life is just the same. The dark days of your life are filled with fun and happiness when you are accompanied with a friend.

How is friend a support in life? Well, lets consider a person climbing a ladder. Isn't life the same, fighting challanges and achieving great heights? Now...can the person climb the ladder without a support? You'll find yourself at the place where you start, bruised and hurt, if you climb it without taking a support. Your journey of life is made easy when supported by a friend.

Well...all I wanna say is that...when you are into solvin the mysteries in life, i think we need some help and its a frnd who is always ready to lend a hand to you.

The Lost Song....!!!

2007-11-18T00:00:00.004-08:00

Around the vales and hills I walked,
Which rose above the blue waters of sea
Towards the green lands I stalked
But they never came to me.

Tiring and hot, was the day
Not a single cloud was seen
Around the rocks, I had to play
A scorching day, it had been.

On my way a song I came across
The birds and fields under its spell
The gentle, lovely voice of a lass
The beauty of which was hard to tell.

The birds sang to the song
The deer danced to the tune
The rivers ran all along
To the voice as pleasant as the moon.

I tried to trace the gentle lass
Forgetting all my agony and pain
Fields and lands I had to pass
And the lovely song was ne'er heard again.

A Winter's Night.....

2007-11-18T00:00:00.003-08:00

The brilliant moon shining bright
Up in the night blue sky
The gleaming stars showering light
As they glitter and shine so high.

The packed gray clouds drifting along
In the middle of the starry night
The chill of winds, as they prolong
Throwing the mist to sight.

The chill in breeze of the blowing winds
From the trees at far-off height
The smell of dew, as it begins
Drifts in a friendly sight.

As I hit the pillows, to slide into sleep
With these lovely experiences to cite
Somewhere in my heart, these thoughts creep
Enlightening the dream of a winter's night...!!

Original India

2007-11-18T00:00:00.000-08:00

India, a land with 29 states, 9 Union territories and more than 50 different languages, is today a shelter for more than one crore population, flourishing with green fields and shining with many laurels and great personalities. Was this what India was before the British Rule? It has been more than 60 years since India got independence, but is India completely independent? Before we find answers to these questions, let's recall what Lord Macaulay, the Britisher who introduced the present education system in India, had stated about our country.

"I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I did not find a single person who is a beggar and a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values and people of such calibre that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of the nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and therefore, I propose we replace her old and ancient education system for if the Indians think all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem and become what we want them to be, a truly dominated nation."

What was the ancient education system, the spiritual and cultural heritage that made our country unbeatable? The ancient education system taught the Vedas and Scriptures that held the basic principles of human life. The Indians held a great respect towards the treasures of the nation. Sanskrit, the language that took its birth in India, is today know to very few and has almost become extinct. A person well versed in Sanskrit and the Vedas is hardly noticed whereas a pioneer in the foreign languages is considered a genius! The original features of the Indian culture were replaced by the western traditions. Starting from the way we talk to the life style...everything has been adopted from the western culture. This change is because of the Indians who believe that everything foreign is greater than theirs. The future of India lies in the hands of the students. If every student strives to uplift the nation's pride, India will stand as one of the leading nations in the world.

The freedom fighters have sacrificed their lives to see India independent and as a country racing on its own. But even to this day, India is dependent on the countries of the West. We work and earn for the country that had once deprived our country off our earnings. Working for the West is not where the esteem of India goes down. Its because some citizens of India are forgetting their motherland and utilizing their talents for the development of the foreign countries. In spite of the efforts put forward by the freedom fighters for the independence of our country, India, to this day, remains as a truly dominated nation.
