PEACE

Silly thought

Yet another new day
basking in the same old way
life is so pretty as it is
the purple flowers
even the ancient gigantic tree
the couple walking hand in hand
even the overcast gray sky
the pretty girl browsing her book
even the fat watchman squealing may I help you
the chirpy singing birds
even the mother scolding her boisterous kids
you must be loving it today up there hey great man
hahaha how proud are you of yourself for all the charm

Goodbye

This fear is strangling me

But why do I have this fear

When life has taken me beyond what’s unknown

That unknown is fearless but the known fearsome

Just take me away from the known for once

Let me live in this sweet paradise

It chokes me but in a happy way

I ask for adventure in everything, yes funny it is

Some things come by easy and I sway it

Just for my own sake I ask myself

Welcoming the freshness of a brand new day

Oh do I really want to

Goodbye

Did I foresee your desire , yes I did

did I desire your desire , yes I did

did I want you to know that I desired your desire , no I didn't

WHY

was I frozen inside , no I wasn't

it was all there and no one could reach them , the tending-to-melt rocks

tectonic plates were far apart, why would you want to be crafty and bring them close , HE knows.

THEN

you started pulling them closer, everyday

you toiled like a whacko , my inside was still rigid

but I am proud of you , because you were making me melt

THEN

wanted to yell, move them closer, faster

I was all pressurised by then , they all knew

there was bantering by them deep there, and I was provoked now , were you

THEN

I was becoming viscous now, how on earth did you resist

I appreciate my patience , or shud I say ur patience

AND

you sure are clever and knew the modus operandi

I was cautious still and did not allow you to reach them

but didn't I want you to

no , I am not teasing you

THEN

HE warned both of us that night .wasn't HE clever to warn us that very night

by then tectonic plates were just an inch away and there was no way HE could stop us

the sweet poison was ambrosial , I yearned for more

THEN

there was magma , plates were the closest

I loved the sensation , everything seemed like a divine intervention

I know it was ur best night, dont ever lie

AND

sizzling lava was thrown out from my crater

did you see the stars twinkling that night brighter

oh what a night

HMMM

scorching , amorously burning lava played with you

you felt the heat , didn't you ?

everything around shook vigorously, we didn't care and wallowed in ourselves

I don't want to be bewitched anymore ........

FLOODED HEART??

2008-06-09T23:34:00.000-07:00

that heart of hers
has been filled to the brim,
she wants to let it overflow,
she grasps that theres danger,
oh she sees it as an adventure

enchanting breeze teases her,
flirtatious advances delights her,
gentle smattering titillates her,
she grasps that theres danger,
oh she sees it as an adventure

ups and downs high and low,
nervous waves tries to get slow,
breeze in a hurry, all seems blurry,
she grasps that theres danger,
oh she sees it as an adventure

breeze is no more pretty,
sways with the pouring sweat with alacrity ,
he is frenetic to an eternity,
she grasps that theres danger
oh she sees it as an adventure

merrymaking at its peak,
but now hes becoming weak,
she instigates the earth to freak,
she grasps that theres danger ,
oh she see sees it as an adventure

smarter than she thought, he leaves her in
that spot,
infatuated with his torridity, duped with
the floods,
what does she get, nothing but blood
she will always see danger and no more
see adventure.....

TREMOR....

Does it hurt deep there?
I ask myself...
but wait, do I know myself?
I riddle myself...

Emotions ambushed why on earth?
should I call it an armageddon?
battling to get out of the quicksand of life
Hey Me why do you keep it on?

Ad nauseum , been nectareous to all..
heart perforated with the bullets of beastly bombs...
sad water gushes and rejoices like a fountain that it's finally out...
Hey Me are u still choked or its gone?

Second self inhales only the divine air
she preaches My self to tread the self recognisation path
I am waiting for the answers to my queries afterall
Hey Me will you get them or not?

Suddenly I see that holy vision
the nights glorious in a harmonious fashion
the temple's effervescence flames my body to numbness
Hey Me are you still dreaming?

HE says it's all going to come to an end
my self trembles with lachrymose jubilation
serene spirit camouflaged in my thoughts ,struggling to remove
those thorns
Hey Me what is happening to you?

Nothing ever changes with the ball of fire's wondrous entry
seductive rose,nonchalant birds,unfathomable sky,earth perfumed sand,
whimsical breeze,towering trees,heavenly rains...
why didn't you give me all that you gave them
Hey You are you listening or not?

BLACK or WHITE..who carez???

"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest of all?"
The mirror answered-
"Thou, O Queen, are the fairest of all," and the Queen was contented ,because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth. But as time passed on, Little Snow-White grew more and more beautiful, until when she was seven years old, she was as lovely as the bright day, and still more lovely than the Queen herself, so that when the lady one day asked her mirror-
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?" it answered-
"O Lady Queen, though fair ye be, Snow-White is fairer far to see."

Now comes the million dollar question. Did Snowwhite apply FAIR AND LOVELY CREAM?????? Guess Snowwhite was a clever damsel to have the FACIAL know-how of enticing the poor ,truthful mirror. Now, that is un(FAIR)!!

You guessed it right. I am also a part of that wheel, which clasps those stokes that are dead against the endorsements of FAIRNESS CREAMS . No offense to people who have been using the product, but I personally feel that these advertisements are highly sexist and racist in nature. Most of these ads are preposterous ,in a way that they showcase dark Indian women to be in a constant state of melancholy because of their so called DARKENED plight.The television commercials are supposed to allure the viewing public in a positive way , but unfortunately these ads have only lead to the ridicule of these women.
Let me cite an example of one of the popular FAIR n LOVELY ads aired in almost all channels.
The dusky Indian lass is extremely talented in cricket commentory and her dream is to become a famous commentator. She has been practicing in front of the television ,and seeing her zest for the same, her sister hands her the fairness cream , confident enough that she would not be successful unless she is fair enough. Oh and now the famous former cricketer Srikanth , sitting next to her while she is in the midst of her commentory, amorously staring at her fair and lovely face , and then loads of fans gunning for her autograph and the cameras focussed on HER rather than on the game.(Poor cricketers!!!!)
(Good news for those men who want to undergo a metamorphosis, with the substitute in the market referred to as FAIR AND HANDSOME. Girls, didn't we once upon a time have a universal dogma favouring the TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME men???????)
Well, FAIR AND LOVELY has been the largest selling skin whitening cream in the world, courtesy HLL and emphasises that 90% of the women in India want to use the whiteners because it is "aspirational ... A fair skin is like education, regarded as a social and economic step up". If all of us succumb to this ludicrous statement, then life would be a child's play. Apply buckets of fairness cream on your countenance ,till one day you are the "fairness personified goddess(or rather a white witch)". Mention your "this- particular -special -achievement" in the curriculum vitae while applying for a job and, eureka, the HR is highly impressed with your accomplishments and hence surely ,"a social and economic setup", as you land up with a job on a silver platter!! Don't mind the bizarre thoughts!!!
I recently read an article named "Selling to the poor" in which C.K.Prahalad, a business professor stated that how an impoverished Indian street sweeper was able to buy Fair and Lovely fairness cream. He stated that because this poor woman could now purchase “an affordable consumer product formulated for her needs,” she felt “empowered.” Hence ,HLL is making a profit, while empowering women at the “bottom of the pyramid” ,to advance socially and economically !
I was just thinking whether Mr. Prahalad forgot to mention about the sweeper's husband or boyfriend being bowled over by her beauty after the application of the "Magic Cream". Why on earth would the poor sweeper who gets patheticly deficient wages be bothered about enhancing her hue from dark chocolate to a milky one when she has zillions of other things to fret about in life?????? Mr.Prahalad, are you living on some other planet with a shallow prospective towards life????? or, Is it that you have never known or witnessed the pitiable conditions of the underpriveleged in our motherland????
Well, there has alwayz been a pressure among the Indian girls to look fair atleast to bring about the element of truth in the matrimony column ,with the cleched stuff by the grooms side like WANTED GIRL WHO IS FAIR, GOOD LOOKING, PRETTY, SLIM....blah blah and blahhhh!!!!!!!!! Like all the men on this earth are Mr . UNIVERSE!!!!! Jeeeeeez!!

The contaminated misapprehension that " women who are fair and beautiful only get good jobs and get alliance of their choice" must be shunned from the minds of people.One of the steps is to ban all the possible ads which play with the women's inner most natural potentials and skills which are petrified to flow without any tides, before the stereotypical society.

Talent, passion, goals, self-reliance, striving for excellence, zeal, confidence,determination, will power and looking at the world with a broader outlook are the key ingredients which makes a WOMAN and reveal the STRENGTH of a woman.
BEAUTY IS SKIN DEEP . THIS AGE OLD ADAGE DOESN'T HOLD GOOD AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.

PEACE ROARS......

2007-07-29T11:31:00.000-07:00

Peace is a state of harmony, absence of hostility....the Wikipedia defines peace this way......!!
What exactly is peace for U and ME????? Well as a youth of this country, are we even concerned about the External peace. When I am referring to EXTERNAL peace , I am aiming at a world without any WARS, INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS, BATTLES, so on and so forth. Infact , when the term WAR is splashed on us , we get foolishly stirred and act as pure rebels, because we have never witnessed such a so -called "savage melodrama" , not even delivering an iota of understanding into our gray cells about the brutal consequences. Maybe ,our grandfathers were the "coolest" to have been the spectators of "death metal"(pun intended)!!
Oh, by the way, you must be thinking why am I so interested in writing about the most dragging of subjects named PEACE, when there is very less peace left in our own INTERNAL lives.So, let me just peek into our spirits which defines this very interesting terminology(peace) , assorted to bewilder us.Synonyms like accord, agreement, unanimity, conciliation, serenity, fraternization, love etc have become mere WORDS with no human-imbibed meaning , words which are memorized to attain proficiency in english vocabulary, to be prominent among pals and to be hip and happening. "Mom, stop advising now, I need PEACE " ; "Heavy metal rock is a treat to my ears, amazingly PEACEFUL dude" ; "Let's go partyin', we will get some PEACE OF MIND".
The irony of the word is atrociously disturbing to some of us ,which includes ME. My instincts have always been led by the conjunction of my heart and mind. That is why, there has been an influx ,of a volley of questions lately, bombarded like "grenades" ,by my sickeningly emotional alter -ego.These grenades have ruptured my PEACE OF MIND ,ad nauseum.
Why are people so stone- hearted????? Has the world become a market where people are like "things" sold by almighty , purchased by parents and crushed like sugarcanes, till all the red juice is extracted and eventually savoured by the satans , the scoundrels????? Why have people become so gullible and have become susceptible to divine -will, kismet and ultimately succumbing to"This-had-to- happen-kind-of -an-attitude"????? Why are they not being poignantly aroused, about the devastation, depredation, ruination of millions of innocent slaves of the bloodcurdling term DEATH??????
Is it only Me who has been abstruse enough to be victimized by these questions???????
They will HAUNT me for years to come........!!
