Updates

Here is one of my Facebook update and the comments that followed (I just felt like posting it!):

K: There is a pattern in most of things that humans do. Wise are those who can read these patterns in others and wiser are the ones who baffle others by deviating from these patterns while using a camouflage.

B: and these wiser people live their lives by cheating others in this way, and they are not to be trusted.

K: Trust is a heavy word to use. I agree with you. But then sometimes we have a limited choice.

B: yes being trustworthy is saints job nowadays !

K: You believe in simple living, yes? :) Well, from the look of what you saying, you certainly belong to the wise side. Those who can read others very well. Yes?

B: thats right ! but unfortunately I am not wise enough to read others !:D 

A: there's nothing wrong with deviating from this pattern...if nobody ever did that in the course of human history, we would still be living in caves marveling at the invention of fire...

K: This has more to do with human psychology than innovations. Like reactions to certain situations, manipulating people etc.

What do you say?

Too Soon...

Smoke trails in the humid sky,

From the ashes of memories.

The fire was put out before love could pacify,

Now the embers keep me warm on the cold sea.

A search story!

Google gives us keywords when we type something in the search box. Here is what a friend shared when because he found it humorous:


















I tried to write a story using the sequence of this suggested search phrases. Here it is:

He learns to tie a tie, to go to a party. There he asks his to see the movie 'how to train your dragon'. There they kiss. Then when they dating regularly, the girl feels that she needs to lose weight fast. Till then the guy starts liking another girl and then wants that to like him back. Till then the earlier girl wants to get pregnant and she gets pregnant forcefully by putting holes in the latex protection without the guys knowledge! Then delivers a baby and decides to lose 10 pounds in a week. This guy meanwhile gets fascinated by rubic cubes. He wants to download videos to learn how to solve them cubes.

Finally they get old and decide to rejuvenate their love life!

Dilemma

Why is there a Pre-position? Where is Post-position?

Why is there a conjunction? To join con men?

Shouldn't Noun be banned? I mean NO UN? No Peace? Only War?

Are you Pro-Noun too. Have faith in the UN!

Why can't verb be used as a verb? Don't use the noun form. Didn't you verb it?

Where is the Madverb?

Being a topper in the class.

HSC board in Maharashtra didn't announce the 12th standard toppers. Some believed this to be a very good change. I thought as well too. But what about the folks who study hard just to be recognized in the society? Same for the parents who want their kids to be known in public just because they stood first in the class, in the college, in the state, and so on. Must have been hard for them right?

I remember some people from my class. The toppers that is. They used to slog and slog and fight with the teacher for a single score in the answer papers. People used to cry if they came second in class, that too by a very slim margin. Now however, these people are married, mostly housewives who keep updating their FB status about their kids and caring spouses. That is cool.

What I am worried about is, will these folks become revolutionary parents? Forget revolutionary, at least liberal? Or will it be the same old story? Learn, study, learn, come first, and enter the rat race?

Time will tell!

Pack of cards!

Life is very ironic at times. When you try very hard to make something happen, it doesn't. And apart from it not working out, it leaves some painful residual feelings. However, as soon as you sit back and relax, things start moving towards you. Love for example. It might just happen, but you may not be able to hold on to it, not be able to keep it. Time! Timing! Big Enemies, well known thieves!

Decisions; very important weapons for some, double edged swords for others. Soon, life and its games draws us into a whorl, a whorl that makes us feel that all that is real in life is illusions. Illusions that offer the ultimate reality.

And all you can eventually do is sigh. Even the tears don't mean much. Laughter is just a way to forget the Time that stole a lot of things from you. But you can't and shouldn't laugh at Time. It might take revenge, a revenge too tough for you to handle.

When all the world is making noise around and all you can hear is the silence from within you, is the moment when you realize the games that your mind has played with yourself. The way you perceive life and the way it drags you in a roulette.

Choice, does anyone really have a choice? Life draws situations for us from the ever shuffling pack of cards!

Moon and the Box!

Sitting beside a lake in the moonlit sky,

Sitting beside a lake, i never ask me why,

why what all happened, had to happen?

Why hard to undo the pain, magic cannot be redone!

And sitting beside the lake i look at the moon,

Sitting beside the lake memories sift so soon.

Days seem so distant now, those days full of melodies,

Days they hurt so much now, these days full of parodies,

Days empty the light, Nights empty the breeze,

Time threatens the very existence of those memories!

And sitting beside the lake, the moon looks at me,

and I travel the land, that land where us were we.

And slowly I see and realise a golden box in the lake,

Immersed deep in the water, the works, twists and ache!

When sands and sun stole the feelings to store in that box,
As the game that dice did play, as guileful as a fox!

The Moon shines on that box and both reflect light,

the light that smirks at feelings, I gave up without a fight!

And the wind plays with the lake, as with us did play time,

And I just sit in the glimmer, in sands I trace this rhyme!

Choice made us walk away, choice made us grow apart,

We forgot the choice that helped us realise the heart!

And the Box and the Moon, one golden and one cream,

stare at me as I get lost, in what once I thought a dream!

And suddenly I realise that besides the lake, other side to me,

I see you look at the Moon and box, same past that even I can see!

and Hark the silence around, the silence that consumes us two,

Where i rhyme the noise from life in words, and see even you do!

So like this and lost in the box and the moon, symbols of yesterday,

Distant, Unfeeling and Ironic, Two pieces of a puzzle kept away!
