Ideas and thoughts

Hi there, long time. Yes, its all too much. Ideas and ideas..just few thoughts drifting on the sea like a piece of wood struck by tree leprosy..My my gross ain't I? The thing is, it all started with the chorus of frog croaks that my folks were listening to last night at the park.And of course, little Himona playing havoc on my mind...Keri Hulme should have left me alone than pull me into her paradise of exotica in New Zealand..How dare she? Making me feel like a mortal, unartistic and dull. And my beautiful sunshine by the bedside waking me with that incredible child like radiant smile..so warm and soft. To color my whitewashed life of the moment which was a drab yellow yesterday and an orange tomorrow..All the dreams playing on the big canvas of an unguarded mind at night between Rapid Eye Movements because Stipes sings 'Everybody Hurts...(pause)...sometimes'. Memories imprinted when everything I know I thought I forgot. Achy but happy. In a minute I will be gone, through the day and night. Sleeping like I don't want to but have to. For many hours to come. And the dawn to begin. It's nightfall, a darkness illuminated by the self luminous stars and a distant satellite, silver shining.

The old man and three telescopes

Watching milk white fog Painted across the hills Tried to find a bridge Crossing a needy heart Squinted eyes hurt In search of water Gushing down far away Like tears of forlorn soldier The kind Sun stepped Bore the misty clouds Quenching his thirst He smiled upon the old man Diamonds drifted Like near heavens Of a love spectrum Bowing to ‘Pa His three telescopes Were no companions Two were dead sons But this one fed him

Music, A candy to an ailing heart

It was the early 90s. Life was just taking a turn as was India. One day it was the magic of Eddie Murphy, Tyra Banks and Michael Jackson. Magic Johnson hits the big drum and declares in a booming voice. It was a time to remember alright.. On a Sunday it was suddenly Eric Clapton who brought 'Tears in Heaven'. Was it Tears for Fears who said 'Everybody wants to rule the world?'. DesRee and Terence Trent Darby with the silken 'Delicate', 24 by 7 taking to you a fast paced 'Take me away", Bon Jovi keeping the faith, Guns N' Roses welcoming you to the jungle with Axl Rose's sexy hairdo in 'Yesterday'. It was then the beginning of the end for Kurt Cobain. Just as I was getting so hooked to the Seattle band he put a bullet through his head. Quick. I wrote an ode to the man. So did a few more million fans. India had stepped into liberalisation. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh had 'freed' India from License Raj Economy. The youth were ...

Where does it all begin?

The past few months have been awakening. Contextually speaking, it is a new life in the land of maple trees. Grasping the silent lessons that this world is giving I wandered into the neural pathways of the unapproving lot. Barbarism is not about ruthlessly hacking someone. It is a facade behind the civic screen. A kindness that kills you because you have surpassed a certain level of accomplishment. The ravines in your backyard are pacific to your evening strolls. It is the same place that breeds human beings who rob a woman of her valuable possessions. Mindful of the fact that I am a "Visible Minority" I sometimes step backwards. Something I am not used to. Yet I unlearn. The earth is divided by imaginary lines called longitudes and latitudes. I wish it would have ended there. Sadly there are so many of these imaginary lines in our minds that we know not what we are prejudiced against. The rise and fall of religions, empires, classes...is all part of the change that ...
