Summer All Year

Time has frozen around me,
it is summer all year round.
like the sand beside the sea,
life is pressed against dry, grainy ground

the mirage makes me wonder
what is real and what is fake,
the thirst makes me surrender
the hot air makes me shake

the hummidity is like the cloth for winter
ready to strangle and suffocate
the leaves, the birds never stir
oh, please can't you see the world can't wait!

for the glorious rain to kiss their being
and the water to drown their pain
and green in trees and blue in lakes to be seen
for the spirit to be set free from the bonds
of the wailing, groaning summer songs.

Summary of 'the Secret'

A secret to you, I will say,
a secret which will blow you away.
something which made people gods,
something which the wise applaud.

A secret which will open a door,
to all you desires and happiness galore.
Its just a line - a powerful one too.
a law of nature, impartial to what, why, when and who:

"Think that your dream has come true"
and the universe will be sure to take care of it for you.

Call me

Call me when it rains,
Call me when the smell of mud floats into your veins.
Call me when you'll be,
lonely in esctasy.
Call me when the moon plays with the clouds,
and the breeze sways the leaves in the trees.
Call me when you see,
a baby smiling happily.
call me when u feel full of content
and you are singing songs with no lament.
Call me when you are burning with spirituality
call me when you feel light and free.
Call me when love surges around your life
Call me when magic and joy cuts like a knife.
Call me when you see a shooting star,
Call me when your mind travels high and far.
Introduce me to your destiny
and make it mine too, if it'll be good for me

duh

The earth has revolved around the sun once more and we are celebrating the (n+1)revolution with our usual festivity by spending time and money..what is time anyway if it is not used for fun? and what is money if it is not spent?? hell..what is life if it is not lived?
So despite the fact that every calender system (and there are so many) must start from a beginning, and the earth will revolve forever around the sun (it won't stop) we should'nt stop celebrating a 'new year' as life is itself for celebration ..though we cannot see a start or an end.....
this new year my resolution (like new year celebration, new year resolution is/was profoundly meaningless ) is to stop mourning over the limited understanding and knowledge of life i posses and try, instead to enjoy it and give it whatever i have..and to have faith
Faith is the best weapon we have against the troubles of our unending travel aboard planet earth..And faith in God (who wherever(here.. there), whatever(real...abstract), however (benign.. involved)) is like having faith that there is a beginning and an end..there is a journey..and there is hope and choice and love and a reason for everything..dreams, events, emotions and actions....

'Happy new year' to me and to whoever is reading this..whatever might be the time or date, or month..because some things don't matter..Some things do.

Change

Change is everywhere
I can feel it in the air
it has survived the anger of time
the ravages of life,the pain of death,the cruelties and crime

Mankind has waged wars with it
aided by emotions, inventions and grit
but it saunters and sways away
oscillating from good to bad, from nothingness to nothingness day after day

So make peace with it and it will embrace
your destiny very happily.
what matters to it is not what you were or are
but what you did with it....

The thinker

A Long time ago, Far far away,
he sat under the sky and thought all day
about what we are and what life means
and the meaning of reason, heavens and dreams

After years of thought, he wrote them down to make them last
and then like everyone else on an ordinary day his mortal life was a thing of the past
Yet he lives on today and for eternity
in his poetry and his philosophy

A Sign Of the Times

Rainy days..dry wells
Crowded Buses..empty homes
Cell phones ringing..more meaningless talks in the air
Cricket craze..its in the glory phase
IT boom..lots of jobs..less work
Sensex talk...most of them senseless
Lots of strikes..whats new?
FM radio..prizes to be won and more!!
Traffic jams in hyderabad..where do we go now?
Orkut..and all that jazz
Contradictory social norms..another catch22
Lots of beggars..Developing are we?
Education bonanza..if u want it, u got it!
Festivals...celebration (with a reason too)
People in a hurry..where are they going?
ipods and mp3..the moores law still holds
Discounts everywhere..the SP remains the same
Trends and taboos..invisible ropes
'Under construction' boards..like the ones the road called life has
films and TV shows..the world is a stage
Weekends..finally!
Then weekdays..(thts the catch)
Then weekends again..A cycle

Ah well,
Life goes On...
