The Nightmare

Image
With eyes wide open They peep into their nightmare Shedding light so bright It creeps into their bedtime Rectangular devious piece of hell Stuck to hand and life Technological advancement I won't see Coz, eyes can't see its infidelity. When world turns around The nights do stay As the day comes around The nightmare stays Aint that the one That she got for her birthday? Aint that the thing He bought when he won Game? Come in papa, its so fun Her call is hefty with world in hand Another time darling, I smile That gloated at dead end. Bundled medicines found right here Insominious existence. Bundles of light float right there Insominious existence. My Lashes find their way back To be halved by barbarous Nightmare But Life is so much fare With Real facsimiled of the Reel. On the rim of heart I wish for a Nightmare One cruel childish peril filled night One nightmare as it used to be.

The immutable Joy

We stood at the window, gazing on a slender, red streak over the eastern rim of the earth. A cool breeze lapped our faces. The boundaries of our personalties suddenly dissolved. It was a moment of rare, immutable joy--a moment for which one feels grateful to Life and Death.
-  R K Narayan in his novel "The English Teacher"




Feeling grateful to Life and Death.. It just happens in the fantasy of R K Narayan. In this real world, no one including me feels grateful to Death. We all express our gratefulness to Life. We enjoy every part of it. Whatever may it contain - Joy, Sorrow, pain, anger - we decide life should go on and get busy living. But death.. It remains a mystery. We don't know where it starts nor where it ends..  not even whether it has an end. Nobody has returned like Susila came for the English Teacher. Not many believe that it is just another world. And no one knows that love is powerful enough to connect both. Finally you would have decided that this is a post about death. No. This is a post about belief. The only thing in the world that has made all things as it is.

I do not believe in God. I believe in the belief people have on him.

May be I should write for some 5000 words. You have got a strong finger to scroll down. But will it make a difference? So, I am gonna make it as short as possible.

Belief is a basic feeling. It is a part of every other feeling - Joy, sorrow, pain, anger. You have the belief for some of these feelings and may not have belief for some. But, only a true strong belief can provide an immutable Joy. Only a true belief can make the death look as a warm embrace. Belief, if strong enough, can make things as you want it to be. May be you are having some painful memories. But the belief that they taught you the best lesson can make a lot of difference. It would even make a little joy blossom inside and a tiny smile spread outside. To reach the immutable Joy, just believe in it.

Why it is special?

You must have wondered at sometime of your life why this moment is different from other.. Why this moment is so special.. You might already know the answer but would not given it to yourself afraid that it will take the magic away from the moments.. But it actually won't take the magic away. But it would make you feel magical as it is. And it is simple. Here is the an excerpt showing the answer. 'There are so many trees in the forest,' said Rakesh. 'What's so special about this tree? Why do we like it so much?' 'We planted it ourselves,' said Grandfather. 'That's why it's special.' - Ruskin Bond  (in his short story "The Cherry Tree") I am not going to say more about it as the answer is quite clear. But when this very thought rose in my mind, so did this doubt. What about Love? The thing that happens on the first sight? I didn't plant it. And it is the truth too. I never planted it. It is quite an exceptional m...

Earth day - what makes the difference?

I would have joined the "Earth day" activities and would have ran around the city picking up the trashes if only I hadn't heard his speech. With 'Kadhi kurdha' and a cotton shawl around his neck, he would have made his impression as a compelling environmental activist on anyone but not on me (atleast, for now). But, Mr. Nityanand Jeyaraman, was not just another activist. He didn't ask us to go around on a rally and shoot out handouts. He asked us a simple question. "What will you do with plastic after you use it?" "Recycle and use as another thing.." "And when that another thing goes out of use?" There was a prolonged silence of never ending thoughts until he answered it himself. "Dump it". That was one awkward truth for the people who have been saying that they have found a revolutionizing way to deal with plastic. "You not destroying it. You are just lengthening the time it takes to reac...
