Who, me?

I was reading into the wisdom of ancient science this day. The realization of how seamlessly life has been intertwined into one big cosmos was causing a mysterious discomfort inside the heart when in truth it should have wiped all my apprehensions about the big question. My eye fluttered as it began to see the retinal damage that was caused by my addiction to leave no stone unturned. Why would I do that to myself? I ask. Sometimes the answers are obvious. On other days I just get sucked into the irrationality of things. To conquer fears and questions. In that way we are alike. The reader and the writer. The blog junkie and the blogger. We seek each other hopefully never wanting to meet each other. The point here really is about the conflicts we face everyday in the little decisions we make. To buy vanilla icecream or butterscotch. To buy the $38 million lottery or let the fortunates win. Does that mean I am not? I don't know. Does money matter. No. Then what? you may ask. I don't want to know what makes anyone tick anymore. Not because I lost interest in people. Because I am sticking to my business for now I know for sure. This is what I want. This is me. All by myself. Just me. And them. Those people I love. That cat I always will carry in my heart.

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 ...
