Walking on the Dark Side of the Moon !

2010-01-26T04:33:00.003+05:30

A new year started earlier this year.. and now we are well into the new year. New year.. new thoughts.. a bunch of new aspirations and resolutions.

At this point of time confusion reigns in my mind , may be things will clear up as we go on. I close my eyes and all I see is standing on an edge of a cliff .. amongst the clouds.. the way around is hazy and it is hard to make a step for that might be your last one. But you never know may be that step will take you to heaven.

Sounds confusing ?? :)

As we continue on our daily journey of lifeless emotions and casual exchanges, I see a few faces .. a few emotions and may be a little pain which resides with me.

Had a great movie marathon week and over the extended weekend .. some very nice movies like "Up in the air", "Up" and "the boat that rocked".

Materialistic desires submerges life but you must realize..life is beyond ..beyond me ..beyond you .. beyond the horizon ..

Sleepless nights ..or rather a choice to be sleepless because you want to feel sleep during the day. That feeling which would help you fight your consciousness and drowse that in the emails and facebook updates..

Few words from a nice song :

Bondhu tomar chokher majhe chinta khela kore
Bondhu tomar kopal jure chinta loker chaya
Bondhu tomar naker bhaje chinta namer kaya
Bondhu amar mon bhalo nei tomar ki mon bhalo?
Bondhu tumi ektu hesho ektu kotha bolo
Bondhu amar, bondhu tumi, bondhu mora kojon
Tobuo bondhu, mon holona apon

If we cannot interpret the same, it is a few words from a song talking to a friendship asking him ..why so many thoughts .. friendship is all you have....

Antanheen - Bhangchur ..

2009-07-17T02:40:00.003+05:30

Antaheen..

I finally managed to watch the movie Antaheen. I had heard a lot about this movie , the fact that it was a very good movie .

To say , I loved the movie .. the way they have managed to show the relationships and how they have made it contemporary.

Though somehow, a police officer chatting from his office is a little bit of imagination but apart from that .. it was all quite nicely done.

It had a spirit of short stories, where the story ends but it really does not end. I was a bit suprised that a movie which settled for a such a uncanny love story where the heroine dies .. and the love remains ..

I donno , I think a hindi movie would have dramatized it enough for a rebirth or a last moment wake up from the bed to really bring a smile to audiences , but Antaheen does not do that.

But I enjoyed the romance that it showcased where you speak without speaking so much. Certain things are best left unsaid ? It showcased how a lot of people speak these days, I do speak with a lot of friends this way.

For some , its been years since I have last met them but still you interact and you speak. I think that is the power of this new media , the social networks that we say about. Suddenly, the world is such a smaller place to live in. I can see someone travelling to Korea and on the other hand just enjoying a lazy rainy afternoon.

After all , life is a game where you things are built and things are demolished. At a point , you win some and you lose some .

You remember somethings and you forget somethings .. please do remember me ..

Of Sundays. nothing-ness and more of nothing

2009-05-10T18:52:00.002+05:30

Well .. well.. back into the sweating desert and we sure are sweating it out in 43 degree plus temperatures where the Air conditioner fails to cool you... and what does that mean ? You have a whole weekend of doing nothing and more of nothing ..

I think that becomes like the best weekend you can have here.. nothing ..

Well, you do somethings like .. talking an occasional walk or to bother your brain about what should we have lunch and dinner ..and a lot of nothing involved.. so too much of wellness involved..

Here is a top 5 list which bothers your nothing-ness weekend :

Ordering food.. piling through countless number of handbills to find the perfect restaurant .. and most of the times you end up ordering from the same place you ordered last time
Delivery boys .. you order food or water or any other thing .. the promise is to deliver as soon as possible .. and when you are calling after 2 hours after the order .. the reply .. "raste pe hai .. 10 min pe pauch jayega"
Taking a bath .. Well for a lot people taking a bath on the weekend is similar to climbing the mount Everest ( yes, even in such hot temperatures )
Answering your mom's telephone calls - It seems that your mom/parents have given up with you .. when.ever in the day, the call comes a question remains have you woken up and then continues a never-ending truth about making changes to your life style and serving the humanity..
Last but not the least .. dodging .."bhai" like creatures .. well .. in a such hostel like society there always is a person who is often regarded as "Bhai" and his sole ideology in life is have 'jugads' .. well what is a 'jugad' ..it is indeed an art of living on someone else's resources and saving on potential cost/efforts. You never know when the attack will come but it can as low as something as a bottle of water to ..a packet of maggi to a full scale dinner + drinks ..

More on bhai ka jugad and then behen the dodging tactics .. may be later .. that is life in the jungle of silver oaks ..

Also the most hunted animal in this jungle is a person with a car .. once you have a car , a lot of people feel like late night drives and going to India gate or midnight buffets .. well once you hunt that person down .. so all the car owners.. fire up the road .. for we are looking to hunt some game. ( PS : We have one hunted down one now very rare dramatic species for this weekend )

I am watching "Dr Munshir Diary" ..one of Feluda ..tele movies.. we might go out for dinner later in the evening to a south Indian place .. not exactly a huge fan of south Indian .but still I don't mind ..

also we have a match of KKR .. and waiting for Fake IPL post after that .. lets how Lordie fairs today ..

Well.. thats all for now .. also planning to get a camera ..lets see how that goes ..

Gulaal - Colours of cinema

2009-03-15T19:22:00.005+05:30

Saw a movie called "Gulaal" , through this afternoon.

It is about the politics in Rajput land. But it also shows the sadistic brilliance of a character , a character who changes through the course of the movie.

Movie which uses colors to shade the mood of the character. Its also the fact that he has used that in his previous movies "Dev D" and "Black Friday".

Black Friday shone in the dark room interrogations. Dev D was shining in the multi colored facets of Dev and Chanda. I think over the movies , he also uses the retro light effect to a lot.

I think that's what makes the movies so realistic , so much out of the real life.

Gulaal showcases effective use of background music to tell the story. He does a 'Bandeh' with 'O Re Duniya'

I think 'O re Duniya' and some of the songs is thoughtful and contemporary. It is realist cinema at India's Rajputana heartland.

3-4 females characters also shape the movie. The end where the female protagonist is strumming a a guitar while somewhere someone is dying due her plots is very well placed.

The thing about the movie is either you like it or u hate it. There is very little middle ground. Well for me, I would love to collect this movie and watch this in times end fag end of the night.

Also watched a movie called "Rachael getting married" starring Anna Hathway. She is brilliant and movie was also quite awesome. Shot in a handheld camera has a nice effect to it. But with a combination of everything it just sweeps you slowly into your mind.

I think movie are also becoming as powerful as books to make people think but ya it restrains your imagination to some faces and some background. But well, we captives of technology will continue to dwell amongst both and think into past and future to combine both as a part of our lives.

Otherwise, all well , will be leaving this place in a couple of weeks. At least I am made to think so.

2009-02-23T01:29:00.003+05:30

Well.. well.. well.. like a lot of other sunday's in life.. i sit staring into a laptop while it rains outside. Reflecting on the weekend of mixed propotions ..

A running stomach. delhi 6. white tiger, medicines, muffins, vegeatable and chicken stew and also a a whole lot of television including "Devild wear the prada" ..

a mixed variety really .. and this may be in all probablity the last weekend in Jo'burg for me.

I really found "White tiger" very intriguing . The way it bring together the whole cliche's of indian society. I think SDM also bring together a lot of the cliche's of Indian life and everyday things that we see but a lot of the times refuse to see again..

Delhi 6 was a mixed movie ..it did not give me a clear message to live with ...or go out with.. though I had to run to public toilet to help my stomach ..

Tomorrow morning, I again take the journey towards the old famed building called "Carlton Centre" . The tallest building in Africa. It's like a consuming giant.. and yes .. it has some crazy lifts which blocks off your ears. I will resume my preparation for training few people .. and resume the daily journey towards life.

I currently watching "Jay Leno Show", I somehow think Oye its friday .. is modelled on it. Anyway .. so much for now..

2009-01-19T05:29:00.004+05:30

I cannot stop myself from blogging from this wonderful song which I came across it so has a rustic feeling to it which just bowls you over. . .

Masakali ..Masakali ..

2009-01-17T23:47:00.000+05:30

Rainy clogged Jo'burg streets

2009-01-10T22:20:00.003+05:30

A new year.. a long time with the blog.. it turned 4 recently.. from a raving lunatic to random ramblings...

It seems destiny forbids me often from having a nice enjoyable travel.. it ends up in delayed trains, delayed flights, missed connections ... delayed baggage's .. and torn baggage's also sometimes..

Thanks to destiny, I had to spend a sudden night in Dubai.. Just found out why it is what it is ..

First of all , I was chauffeur driven by a South Indian from the Airport to the Le Meridian.. amidst the desert a nice fancy hotel having a dedicated wing only for Emirates..

After spending some quite time , I decided I need to have some dinner and go around... I arrived at the lobby .. there was live music..

I went to a oriental place called 'Long Yin' to eat.. I was served by a Goan.. multicultural ..what say ..

It was time to hit Dubai ...now.. In a Lexus driven by someone who was from my neighbouring country ..

it was interesting..listing to hindi music "agar tum mil jao" .. and good old himesh .."jhalak diklaja".. and seeing the golden city so to say.. 5 star hotels.. and more hotels... some even had some floors within the sea.. interesting.... when you have been staying in a hotel for last 6 months.. its very interesting to go around and look at hotels for sight seeing..

Had exactly 10 mins to go around Mall of emirates.. all i got get is a rate for a iPod nano at 700 dirhams.. did not have enough time to convert... who cares at 11 pm in the night..

So that.. Dubai.. for me.. brilliant 12 lane highways.. ( 6 up . 6 down ).. A/C bus stops.. super luxury ..and a lot of people from the subcontinent .. .

It was me , my mobile and Dubai..

Happy New Year to everyone !! May the year be as enjoyable as chocolate !!

2008-10-26T07:03:00.003+05:30

As another day passes by in my stay in Jo'burg, life goes on. I am awake in the middle of the night about 3:35 am in the morning when I feel this sudden wish to let myself of the hook and write something. Its been so long since I wrote something again. I think I will write about the place , the people that I have met here ..

So as your South African Airways flight lands the first time in OR Tambo Int'l Airport, you wonder why we are flying over vast expanses of land and then over some blue plastic shaded shacks just as the plane touches the ground.

You step into the car and then feel the speed of the freeway, you wonder on whats right and whats wrong. You know nothing about the place .. you just know a lot of people how have known have been here and had a nice time around the place.

Looks like life ..questions you on .. You wake up in the middle of morning feeling badly tired and jet lagged.. you wonder if you are up for the challenge.

The people you meet in the day are so difficult to understand. You ..get to have difficult times as you progress forward.. you need to understand more and more ..as you move forward..

You have your good times drinking red wine and have your bad times being stressed on work and life as a whole.

You feel that you have fucked up when you go to a meeting and see things are going horribly wrong .. you feel ... where should I go to hide my tears ??

But time heals you .. you get applauded and you get greeted among the best.. a lot of the time .. you establish what others have been trying to do .. you wonder .. wonder and feel it has all been worth.

In midst of this all , you miss home and visit home for a day.. passing through a desert country. You think you have visited the darkest side of the moon and moon's phase in life.. as we go about life...

u wonder ..where u should start and were you get lost ..u wonder.. u wonder if u should mention the funny Russian who u lended money or the Swiss ..who is the weirdest person u ever met.

You bet you want to sleep now.. you really want to .. for all that you have written above is about 1% of your experience. Think again .. think hard.. may 1% of your experience is worth immortalizing ..worth .. taking the risk and gain.. it is that 1% which might make the difference

Life ..is such ..life is so ..much .. life loves you back.. life goes on ..

2008-06-22T03:47:00.002+05:30

Really almost took a down the Dark side of the moon..
almost to the last point of the earth ..cape of good hope.... hoping good..

2008-06-11T00:21:00.000+05:30

Coldplay has realeased its new album :) Long awaited new album titled Viva La Vida , strange name but sounds terrific ....

2008-05-02T10:04:00.003+05:30

Life goes on .. nothing much happens ..yet.. life goes on ..

Its May .. Other than that .. there is nothing much to say .. nothing much to write about ... life goes on steady .. IPL ..Chelsea ..UEFA ..EPL... CAT .. McK .. and a whole lot of other things in abbreviations..

2008-03-22T18:34:00.000+05:30

Wish you a very happy Holi !!

2008-01-30T01:17:00.000+05:30

Adventure is something which is inborn in each one's soul. Every human soul has the spirit of adventure embedded in itself. So in search of soul and hence in search of adventure last weekend we made our way to hrisikesh , in the abode of the Ganga.

The place was really a place , where you could get lost. Let me take you through the place in pictures :

This is how it looked like.

Beauty beyond bound.

Moon shine

If I was equipped with words to describe the experience , I would but forgive me.
I loved every bit of it. It was worth ..

2007-10-26T01:40:00.000+05:30

It has been some time that I have posted last. Like always things have changed. Changed for the good I believe, or as I choose to believe. It is end of October , and we are waiting the onset of winter here. It has started becoming a bit cold.

Lets go through the changes in order. I have got a new lappy and a new net connection which enables me to blog after so long. Actually I really cannot merge my personal life with my office , I wish not to. But I stay in such a place where office is warmer place than home. Office is where all your life is.

Sometimes in the deep dark night , I discover a lot of things. A lot of things which remain unearthed in my mind and soul. I often contemplate the decision to join the job and leave a life so different to one I am used to. I fight to keep myself in shape and myself in order.

Success is alluring but only few people achieve it. There were a lot of paths to success. I have chosen a path which is so very harsh and will strengthen me as I believe

There are other things in life which sometimes bother me. Being asked to dependent to someone , the act of responsibility. I cannot ask the someone not to depend on me so much because it seems I have no choice.

I am listining to a song called afterglow. I think I have blogged about that before , but still a couple of lines from that song.

Here I am,
Lost in the light of the moon,
That comes through my window.

Bathed in blue,
The walls of my memory divides,
The thorns from the roses.
It's you and the roses.

I was thinking of this post for a long time. But somehow did not get the urge to go forward with them. Went home for Durga Puja , last weekend. A few spectacular pics have been posted above.

There has been a lot of things I cannot write about and wish not write about.

2007-09-04T16:33:00.000+05:30

It has been sometime,
so the nomadic life continues,
i have shifted to a new place , a new room to share with myself.I am not sure whether this is the way to go. But it is better than before.
I need to control the increasing belly , I need to get a hold of myself.I am learning a lot, a few friends and a few people seem so much of a distant memory.

Thoughts puzzle me at time. I have been reading a lot in the while. Gobbling down the the pages of Namesake, English August, Eleven Minute,Zahir.

Books are one of the many ways to cherish life. I am learning to write in a manner which would remain with me a lot , the sooner I take it into my blood , better I will be.

I have worn a Pink Striped Peter England shirt, people would have easily said Eeeew back in college. But life changes and this is not college.

I am idle for a long period today and I cannot take up new work as I am forward booked in capacity.

Learning never stops, life never stops.I might be having a quality review today, hope that is not bad as it seems.

Anyway , carry on the ups and downs, lets see when we meet again

It might rain when we meet, we may lose a bit of control of our words.We might be engrossed in the moment, but thats life.It will be special.

2007-08-01T17:34:00.000+05:30

I has rained and rained quite beautifully.
Observing the rain from 8th floor is quite nice. Among the concrete jungles of gurgaon , it was kinda hurting for my eyes. I was searching for the green pastures , I was searching for green horizons.
It was nice weather , it was a cool breeze and it was cool place to be.

The eyes have been hurt to often by the LCD screen that I stare into.
Lifeless eyes staring at life beyond the glass window. Friends in college are restarting their second life in college from today , hope they find the stay as sweet as they found it for last 3 years.

I got my marksheet today, scanned and sent to me by mama. Finally got to know how i fared in the exam.But they hardly matter it seems now i am in a life of deadlines and excel models.

Feeling are stagnant,anyway seems off to home is the way to go.

I will go home and lay back , think , read and sleep.
A few things like my account keep niggling me , wrong English is also a point.

I want the things to be sorted , I want things in order so that life smooths out.

have i said to much ?
or have I said nothing ?

please answer me back , please find me good luck.
I face questions a lot from people around me back home.
I cant answer them all , please forgive me if I hurt someone.

2007-07-27T17:56:00.000+05:30

Time passes by like anything ,
It has been a month since i have joined the new job.

I never expected it to pass so quickly, It passes by in one mode, every day rushes and hushes.
Monday morning blues and saturday night fever , life here is one gear

Time shifts past your hands, there is a lot to be done.

I am waiting for it to rain , when the dark clouds summon to rain and they let you feel the drops on your face

2007-07-15T00:25:00.000+05:30

Been a while
So,
i am here in a place called gurgaon
i have joined a job.
Hope , life stays as it is.

I tend to be a nostalgic about friends and home.
But choice is the one u opted for
,it was my choice

so , no regrets as off.

2007-05-05T20:11:00.000+05:30

So , finally exams are over.
A breath of fresh air hits you as you enjoy a big one month gap before the practical exams.
So , started with spiderman 3 , first day first show.
Nice movie with impressive special effects
and i am sure it will have some impressive box office records to show for.

So . time flows by as in a month of or so , we will be out of college.Official graduation certificates will be given long long time after thanks to the brilliant work of calcutta university.Ya, thats my famous university.

So , earlier this week , had a chance to meet Sania Mirza, (once ) famous tennis star.
But the attraction was the Vanilla Ice cream and Hot chocolate mud pie , Sania became secondary in moments.
However leave you with pics of sania , that i took that day.

2007-04-29T18:13:00.000+05:30

Spiderman 3 is going to be releasing this weekend.
Found some cool wallpapers of them , so , let me share them .
the last one was really good one.
Theres not much to blog about, going through times just like that.

2007-04-18T23:22:00.000+05:30

None of this pictures are taken by me , nor do i remember the original owners , i came across them while surfing random orkut albums . Beautiful pictures , sad that i cannot accredit them to the owner.

2007-04-15T14:31:00.000+05:30

Just an occasion to greet each other.
Smile with open hearts.
!! Subho Noborsho !!
Noborsher er notun aalo te poripurno hok

Somethings in life are bound to happen.
somethings in life are bound to change.

In between dreams is one of the albums of jack johnson. His music is like fresh air in the age of electronica.So are his album covers.

2007-04-11T11:14:00.000+05:30

Nothing much ,
wanted to share some music and some pictures.

First there is this album cover by jack johnson which looked impressive to me.

I love this persons music too.
But I am going to share a piece called Elomelo Hoya , its just a guitar solo.

Hopefully you can listen to it , if you cannot , download it from here

Celebration of life in a different time.

2007-03-31T23:29:00.000+05:30

Today is April Fool's day.
Today is my birthday.
Like a self proclaiming fool , I am declaring my birthday in public.
Quite weird of me . Don't know , after all I am all but a fool.

Like small little rain drops , Life has been pleasant and heart warming.Life has been a gift as Ashok , the protagonist says in 'namesake'. Time has been passing away like a priceless entity.
Relationships are ever more precious and hard to find.

Simple life is all I aspire and hope i reach it some day.

2007-02-09T23:03:00.000+05:30

It was raining yesterday , so I took a couple of pictures through the fibre glass windows.
Looks nice to me , I do not know whether they appeal to everyone or not.

Finer life appeals through the windows ..
Optional choice ? Whatever that
Happiness is just a word !

2007-01-06T17:06:00.000+05:30

I cant get this song out of my mind today especially in this version where avril is singing a part of the song. I just love the song.

Two years of blogging

2007-01-05T22:34:00.000+05:30

Well , as time has passed by my blog has become a couple of years old !
Nice it feels to have my own small place in this huge virtual world. I got inspired to blog after seeing the tsunami blog. I liked the idea.

There has been a lot of changes in my life and around me.A sense of change often grips me nowadays. I am not sure why ? Do I suffer from the fear of getting lost ?

Even the blogger world has changed. A majority of the hep people have moved on to orkut nowadays , there are few of the old fellows who still enjoy blogging and reading blogs of worth.

There are lot of blog I really enjoy reading I guess , people who blog just for sharing bits and pieces of life , people who share a part of their imagination , people who share their wit.

I changed the name of my blog sometime ago , to a much more sombre outlook. The dark side of the moon is alluring enough a reason to name my blog after it.

Life has changed.People have changed . Even may be I have changed. I realize that even more sometimes that when I meet some people.
For example, there was this old friend of mine whom I met a few days ago after may be a couple of years. I couldn't really start speak much , what would I speak about ? I am finishing college , he is in the dawn of his college life. I guess he might also be finding himself a bit of place in college after dropping a couple of years. He was one of the persons with whom I shared a lot of my views in school.
There is a group of friends of school with whom I share more of life now than I did in school. I guess time makes you understand a lot of things.

I fear failure at times . I fear being alone at times. I fear that there are lot of people waiting with knives for me around me. It's not the friends whom I fear , it's the whole society I fear.
At times, this fear sets me going.

I know , there is hardly anyone who reads this blog. But I am sure they are not the people who read the blog when I started it. You see , this is another example that Time has changed and you cannot just stop the wheel of time.

"Breathe ..
Breathe in the air"

The air is thin in my moon
Its hard to breathe..

A long day of lost paradise
I live amongst you

I die in the absense of moon.
So , I keep walking on the dark side of moon..

There is more to me than you see
A eclipse of thoughts echoes through dusk

Anonymous glow beneath my eyes
A suprise gone wrong

May be , there was more to it
Than you and me walking ..

There was more to it ..
The noon may not speak anymore

But the midnight will surely do its part
Midnight moon shines on you ..

"Shine on you crazy Diamonds
Now there's a look in your eyes , like black holes in the sky"

If i could write !

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late.
And if I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
More often than I do.

If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don't put
Your wires in my brain.

If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
If I were a rule, I would bend.
If I were a good man, I'd understand
The spaces between friends.

If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
And if I go insane,
Will you still let me join in with the game?

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late again.
If I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
More often than I do.

Long Live PINK FLOYD

2006-09-06T16:47:00.000+05:30

Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters in a Recording Studio

Breathe, breathe in the air
Dont be afraid to care
Leave but dont leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles youll give and tears youll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Dont sit down, its time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave.

Breathe - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Love this song !!
I really do !
Was watching them create the magic in the making of the dark side of the moon ! It was amazing .. Simplicity created this brilliant song.

This year Independence Day ..was awesome ..
I was visiting my sis in a place called Gurgoan !
And a wrong turn on our way to dinner meant we were heading towards Delhi ..
We drove down to India Gate .. It seemed a party at that time of the Night .. There was the Golgappas and Bhel Puri ..and also the Ice Creams ..

It was lit up in Indian colours , not as it is shown in this picture .

It was kind of a nice feeling being there on I-Day !

2006-07-28T18:08:00.000+05:30

Afraid souls kissed goodbye
Broken glasses shattered along the path

The green leaves took away my oxygen
Someone was trying to kill me

I staggered down the hall
The world swayed around me

The drunken soul spoke from within
Come on man ..its time to hang up ..Mr Dreamz !

The trail of time finally took over
The water really cut through the stone

We turned a stone
Like a emotinal stupid I cried

Nothing special
The end of a battle

The battle we fought among ourselves
Along with fire and water

The stopping moments haunted
The twinkling star shined

The everlasting smile
The warm hug

All forgotten and gone
Leave the moments apart

Moving forward as we bleed
The morning wind washed away the pain

2006-05-30T15:24:00.000+05:30

Looked like a new turn every morning
The wind never stopped flowing
The heart never stopped beating

Looks like a new evening
A new grimreaper walks

The crying eyes turn red
The ready to eat food turns bad

Earthy recessions ..
The unity of viens fade

Shadow faded ..
someone walked past me
I could not look back
I could not talk back

2006-05-29T15:58:00.000+05:30

The sleeping beauty awakes
In her eyes the world sees

Oceons tremble
The earths shatter

The stream of water
Clean sorrounding hurt

Fine grains of dust
Gone is the past

Eyes is all that remains
Clear nights and unspoken truths

2006-05-26T02:47:00.000+05:30

Thoughful nights
Never ending tryst

Crying storm hits the city
Amidst a jungle

The tiger roars
Amidst closed eyes

The dream lives
Strange lines
but stronger arms

The bullet fires
Gushing water moves fast

Dying city learns to live
Intoxicated eyes ..

2006-05-24T23:54:00.000+05:30

thoughts blur away
I seek respite

The eyes try to close
Ear are overstrained

Looks like there isnt much to say
Night moves aways

With you in my arms
the chains are around me

Fear

2006-05-18T01:19:00.000+05:30

She looked through the glass windows at the city that seemed to eat her up.With time , she had slowly been engulfed in the dark side of the city and she let the water flow.She sat alone hoping to hear something.She had betrayed herself.She wanted to die but could not as life did not allow her too. She dreamed of a paradise where she wanted to live rest of her life. May be , in the dark circumspects of life she had lost a part of herself.

City seemed to be undittered by her unhappiness as the people around her moved with the usual pace, cars moved around with the same pace.Lonely , may it was the word she could describe herself.

She had never wanted anything from life and may be that is the case which brought her into this place.She did not hesitate to look into the face of death.But it was useless chasing death around rather than calming her own senses under the influence of alchohol.In a trance she danced around unknown territorries , she wanted to breathe.She had dream but she never wanted to fulfill it.She never spoke of it.She jumped into the dark waters but the water seemed to be ungrateful to accept her body as a gift.

A chant followed, the sound was too surreal.The clock was ticking, and to some people's utter dismay it keeps ticking.Trance of eyes in a dark seemed to a prenomition.It is easier for the flowing water to find a course into the sea.But still , calm seas are seldom seen.Light may go out very soon , the experience may be over soon.But someone must guide me home.

Fighting a lost battle , the cry of war is often heard.The warrior moves forward in dressed to kill,but the plans may be different.The plans may be of peace.Confusing traits arise out of no where. Fine lessons are to be learnt from tales of failures.

His heart skipped a bit whenever he thought of her.His escape to the vast open spaces would let him go off this point of no return.

He walked by the river which flowed down the valley without respite.He seemed to be pure.Purity however was relevent as his love towards her was pure.The destruction of city had taken him to this place.He lived alone.The noise that he heard was of nature.He seemed to have lost his voice , he wondered if he could speak up again but there was no one to speak to apart from himself.

Every morning when he bathed in the cold chilling water of the river , he wondered what made this water to pure.The only answer he got was it kept flowing.He took a deep breath and took in the pure air.He was at peace.He forgot about the betrayal , he forgot about having lost pace in the city, he was at his own pace with life.

It was not easy for her to lead her life amidst the sense of guilt and betrayal.Sanctify thy soul was the answer she got from her inner voice.Around her lay a lot of people who seldom listened to it or perhaps never heard it.

A point where a person seeks respite in Alcholism and a point where a person seeks respite in silence.

Green loyalist often live a life in concrete households, a patch of concrete seems to be cementing thier hearts.The blood seems to lose colour , red is no longer the colour it turns pale blue.The cold blooded organisms dwell in the civilizations of the future.They have lost thier mind long ago to some machine , the vices of mankind had seeped into them.The potrait seemed to be turning gray , with time , with pollution.

I cant breathe,I feel my lungs collapsing any moment now.There goes a piece of the broken moon.I am torn apart into pieces, the flesh seems to dry.Splinters of air seem to drill into my flesh.I look at death in my eyes.Then I closed my eyes and I dreamt.

Nature has some of its own appeals , and nature designs itself with care.

Your true color is Blue!
You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

What's Your True Color?

A look to the right
A look to the left
The setting sun looked upon us
As the boat waded through the warm water
There was more to behold and more to see
Amidst the bridge among troubled waters
The night waited for us .. T

The lights started shining
The queue started diminishing
We moved towards the shore
Hoping to revive the glorious past

Would this do
To make it all right
While sleep has taken you
Where I'm out of sight

I'll make my getaway
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home
To your smile Wasting days and days
On this night
Always down and up
Half the night

Hopeless to reminisee Through the dark hours
We'll only sacrifice What time will allow us You're sighing... sighing

All alone
Though you're right here
Now it's time to go
From your sad stare

Make my getaway
Time on my own
Needing a better way
To find my way home
To your smile
Lyrics : David Gilmour - Smile

Love on the air
I keep transmitting but reception is hazy
I don't get an answer
Keep sending it faster
Always knew it was crazy
To put my love on the air.

No one will hurt me again
No one will cause me to lie
No one will control me by pain
No one will cause me to cry
I was looking for love
In wandering eyes
Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon
I learned how to sigh
On the ribbon and wires
It's a habit that's so hard to weaken

Love on the air Lyrics : David Gilmour - Love on the air

A Short Story

2006-03-08T22:37:00.000+05:30

Walking accross the small streets of the city , I chanced upon a look. A look which could turn into a saving grace. I never looked back , I never hesitated.I wished I had not seen the moon tonight , it scared me . It scared me out of my skin.

It was sure the lunatic was playing tricks in my brain, it seemed unusually hot.I wanted to scream, for so no reason at all. There was graphiti's written on the shabby walls that spoke of nothing.

The walk seemed endless.Breaking free was an option, going back was another.The frame was freezed, the sense of contemplation creeped into the mind.The trick of the lunatic had taken effect.

Shiny new cars moved past me. There was smoke all around , it seemed a war had been unleashed.Blood seemed to be boiling.There was only one face that came my mind. He had only a single word to say if he had to die now.What were those words actually he thought to himself, he wondered that it has been a while he had thought seriously.

I forgot that it was the same me who I was referring as he.Interesting I thought of myself.I seemed to be standing on top of a mountain alone. I was a stone , a stone unmoved but cut by the sharp winds and flowing rain.Unforgiven, relentless fortunes speak as I keep quiet.In search of truth I meditate. Till then long live revolution.

This isn’t a tale of derring-do, nor is it merely some kind of ‘cynical account’; it isn’t meant to be, at least. It’s a chunk of two lives running parallel for a while, with common aspirations and similar dreams

Let the world change you and you can change the world

2006-02-23T18:02:00.000+05:30

They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.

Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter whistles his mate.
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.   .   .   .
But there is no road through the wood.

Sleep is the regular state of natural rest observed in all mammals, birds and fish. Sleep is not actually "unconsciousness," but rather, it is a natural state of rest characterized by a reduction in voluntary body movement and decreased awareness of the surroundings. Therefore, since consciousness is literally the awareness of the surroundings, being asleep is just an altered state of consciousness, as opposed to being unconscious. It is heavily influenced by circadian rhythms, and by hormonal and environmental factors as well. Sleep appears to perform a restorative function for the brain and body, as evidenced by the myriad symptoms of metabolic dysfunction that result when animals are deprived of sleep (Gottlieb et al., 2005).

The function of sleep in health and in disease is being increasingly studied in specialized sleep laboratories throughout the world. Not only insomnia, but more recently elucidated sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy are evaluated in such facilities. The increasing prevalence of sleep disorders is likely to be a function both of more sophisticated diagnostic tests and the disruption of the normal day-night cycle in modern societies.
So , its time to get some sleeeeeeeep !

Darkness O dear
Come what may
Do not know what percieves chance
Chance may u call it
Life may leave it
Looks like something is ought to happen
Hungy I am
After shock perceeds

Know what makes rhymes ?
But there is thoughts in the air
Capture the moment
Or you might as well get stuck in a moment
Eyes keep straining
The dogs keep barking
It was so beautiful
The pain was worth taking.

Have you ever taken a walk when everyone else was sleeping. The streets are empty. Sudden movement disturbs the dogs , they look up in protest. They are suprised.
Everything seems so very quiet for one's liking. I guess you do get frieghtened with the deafening silence in the order of things around you. Street lights beaming yet no one in the streets. Aah , out of the silence you hear the odd whistle of the night gaurd doing his rounds.
You want to run endlessly , without any aim. But you have to refrain. Because somethings are better thought and not done.

Down that place

2005-11-01T22:47:00.000+05:30

Really was not in a mood to post now. Because I have a kind of a headache. Leaving that apart....

Here is a wish to celebrate the festival of lights. Light up every corner you can. Light up the streets , Light up the hearts.

A lot of life lies amidst that hand which refuses to let the light blow out.The light shall not blow out for the celebration lies amidst our hearts.

A promise to unite , a promise to do the small good thing.
May the festival lighten up everyone.

The wish. The darkned alleys. The lights.

Beyond dreams lies reality...
Beyond me lies the promise to live...

Beyond darkness lies lights
Beyond pain lies a smile....

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Couresty : Coldplay - Fix You

So the time lay still for us to touch , someone wanted to go home..Needless to say where she was heading to , but the destination was unknown. Unknown was the fate.

If the lights wanted to say something.Something which needed to be heard.Something which wanted to be told,but no one had time to listen.

If I miss you , the reason is unknown.I guess too much is unknown.But why lament on what we do not know when we know so much.

Good god gave a broad smile.The authority of smiling seems to be lost.I guess I lose mine in the process.

The cyclic process of seeing things comes back to you.Burnt out memories like the candle which which flickers.The jungle where you once prowled. The livelihood of writing non sense.

Sense , wonder how relative that it. I wonder how far can you get like this.

Like the pouring rain
The questions pour into your mind

Nonsense , it is the dismissal
Lyrical abilities go biserk

Not often do you find yourself in the dark
Not often Do I look back at the past

Elements come alive
Losing control

Where do u go ??
There a hole in my soul

Ending up dreaming
about the mist that told you

Aah ,
leave me alone.

Thy ghost speaks
Thou shall not dream

Thy shadow reckons
Thou shall not look back

Two worlds

He stood amongst concrete lives, amidst a lot of people waiting for his turn to arrive.He had left the shelter in search of ??? What ? He questioned himself. There was a lot of things which bewildered him.He wanted to exit the urban chaos. She stood under the open skies,she was barefooted.Her leg was bleeding,she could go no more. She ran touch to the horizon.Failure , she realised from time to time but she would not accept it.The fields never seemed to end.She wished she was in a place where therewas no where to go. There was a lot in store for them.But they could not accept the world around them it seemed.or else why did they question each other.They would never meet.They would never see each other.But they both knew of each others existence. They sat there.Alone ? No ,they had each other for company.They had a lot of other things for company. Somethings gets you addicted to them so much that sometime you feel so weak with them. It feels as if , that you are in pain without any reason.Addiction is like this I guess. The music fades out, when you realise there is something which is meaning less but you want it.The foggy mind refuses to accept a lot of things.Lighten up is the message from the outer world.The outer world is at a constant turmoil with the inner world.There is no connection but there is a battle.Battles are fought and won in one's mind. The eyes are red , there are drops of tears which fall out of those eyes.It pained, It hurt.But nothing could stop them from flowing. The world was divided.Inspirations were lost.Only the dark seclusion carried people to unknown places. They walked towards each other and said a few words to each other.

At times when the timeless absurdities
question me

I look to you
Take me through the night

Let me down
When the unanswered past is all but you

Love is life
But life is lost

Lost among other things
I seek to dream of you

I hate it when I lose it
But winning was not for me

The invisible spirit moves around me
Past midnight

The clock ticks away
A known tune sounds bad

Night is too long to pass by
May be life is too short to realise I loved you !

Whimsical Thoughts - Life

2005-09-29T19:13:00.000+05:30

I was just guessin’,
At numbers and figures,
Pullin’ the puzzles apart
Questions of science, Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me,
Come back to haunt me,
Oh when I rush to the start

There are a lot of things which come to your mind from time.May be there are a lot of things about which you want ot think but do not want to. There are lot of types of people in this world . some you understand but some you simply do not if u wanted too.

Life is very ordinary nowadays, you wake up from being asleep , you wish u dreamt a little. You stare at the world.You start running and running from place to place , running from one people to another. Just then you realise the day is coming to an end.You step into the night.Night holds forth nothing but a whole world full of faces who want to hide. Once into anonymity you shy away from the lights. Step back.

Time flies , I guess it does. People change , the world changes , the relations change. Change is life.Nice reflections I think as the waters are rarely still and calm

So meet me by the bridge,
meet me by the lane
When am I going to see that pretty face again
Meet me on the road,
meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head

You run about the world searching for the truth and really seek to resolve it all when you are done.There are a lot broken lines around you.Broken lines , broken hearts , broken dreams.

The mist around this tree simply says it all .

There are a lot of things which are never done , never realised. I like it that , I love it that way. The objective is not clear , yet ur heading somewhere. Heading to a unknown desire and trying to be someone without a destination.

Not always you have the time to seek out a lot of things but like always u never know where life takes u .
Life takes it turn when u least expect it.

Sometimes I think I live in a world short of realities

Hard but true but at times u got to realise that the world refuses to leave a single bit of space for people who step back into the dream world.Leave the thoughts apart, leave apart the dreams.

Confusion never stops,
closing walls and ticking clocks
Come back and take you home,
I could not stop, that you now know
Come out upon my seas,
curse missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
or , am I a part of the disease ?

Rains - Life

2005-09-23T10:32:00.000+05:30

After a couple of days of rain which seemed to calm up the weather , today the weather has cleared up a bit. The rains always inspire me to write or rather ramble. Well , a month or so I was reading a book which contained excerpt from the diaries , old essays , some short poems of someone called Ruskin Bond. The title was ‘Rain in the Mountains’. His writings were very simple and they were based mainly on the rains and how mountain life was. It was wonderful reading the book. There were certain parts of the book when it took you the era in the 70’s in which the book was based.

Inspired heavily from that person I wish to carry on rambling about rains. Well , most of the hill stations in India was built and flourished during the Colonial era .May be the British people did a lot of malpractices in India , but thanks to them we do have some of the magnificent hill stations in the world.

I like the hills and they don’t disappoint me . And whenever I have been to the hills , I guess it has rained ( Nothing new I guess it always rains in the hills ). The beauty of hills lies in that the fresh mist seems to touch you whenever it rains. Darjeeling , such a lovely place, now overcrowded but still, it attracts you to itself time after time. May be we are kind of sentimental , and may be that is why Darjeeling is so special to every one of us.
I just love the early morning in the streets of Darjeeling , the sunset in Keventar’s ( Rings a Ray bell doesn’t it ) and now the latest attraction I guess is ‘Momo’. When you are in Darjeeling you are never sort of variety and if its peak season you are bound to meet someone , who walks up to you with a broad smile and says “ Ki dada kemon aachen ? Ekhane Kodin !”. But that is the charm of Darjeeling, when you walk in the morning you are bound to meet a lot of well dressed children walking up to their school .Darjeeling brings a feeling which is somewhat summarized in a Anjan Dutto song which says “Megh Korlei icche kore train ta dore feli”. I have seen Darjeeling in full bloom when the Rhododendron flooded and Bob Dylan flowed in the spirits.

Kalimpong, a hill station which has flourished along with Darjeeling is laid back outlet for you to relax. Sit back in the top of the mountain , take some fresh air , smell the rain in the air. The tall trees surround the path to the bungalow in which I resided. Cottage of some good ol’ Sahib converted into a tourist lodge by the non functioning tourism department. Tin roofed , wooden floored , complete with a fireplace, it made people think about the charms of bygone British Era. It was calm , it was a place where you could sit down for hours without saying anything to anyone yet not be bored. Loved the platter on the tin roofs when it rained. Surely wish to back there sometime soon. I have had the privilege of visiting many more hills in Himachal, Kashmir,Sikkim,Uttranchal but I have the above experiences one of the most relishing of all.

Well , rain in the cities it so much different. May be because , life is not so slow as it when you are vacationing in the hills. As we fasten up your life more and more , may be we will lose time to relish the rain. The idiomatic sarcasms of the city life lie in the ironies which define it. I am not against it as I guess I have to live with it . You can always slow down I guess if you want to. Look back , tread the path you wanted to take for some time now but did not have the time to do so. Take a step back , relish it.

The sweetness of rains needs to be caught hold of .Concrete puddles form in and out in the places as you walk. I don’t know why it always has to rain but somehow it has too. Life is becoming to concrete to enjoy , to much hurry to stop for a moment. Don’t why I question , when was the last time you walked barefoot on earth ?

Boredom leads to many kind of thoughts , I guess it does. May be boredom is essential to realize that I have a lot that I can do. A honest confession which says couldn’t find a note to end on. My thoughts are random and may be that is why I blog. From time to time I think of giving up blogging but somehow I get the urge to write something. May be I cannot write that well , but who cares , this is your own space to say something.

Eagerly looking forward to the ‘Durga Pujo’ , but there a hurdle to topple across before I reach there. People are busy shopping and thinking about there plans in the holidays. I have really no such concrete plan . But still I look forward to the whimsical days where the old faces show up after a while , meeting them. A few days of carefree fun and I think it is care free. A few days were nights are days I look forward to a lot of very simple days ( Although simple is a very relative word ).The smell of the ‘pujo’ air makes a lot of people somewhat sentimental, at least I do get the feeling. I guess I will get that smell when I hear “Ja devi Sarbabhuteshu” on the morning of Mahalaya.

Really , I see a part of blue skies amidst the cloudy skies which have led of incessant drizzles in the last couple of days. Wait , do I see sunshine ? I think I do.

Please do read this short peom :

Empty Verses

When the empty world
smiles at me

I see the sparkle in the cloud
Counting the Beats of the empty street

So many ppl around us
Yet the hearts around us are so empty !

nothing will help
The resolution to resolve

To be or not to be
I dont leave the imagination for the empty brain !

Broken into the domain
Crisp yet so very nasty

Strike me twice my dear lightning
Is there anything I can do for u ?

The cloudy skies speak to me
What to they speak ?

They speak of the same old empty realities

The facade of emptyness
The black and white realities

I destroy it all
I lose it all !

Rains - Beyond Love

2005-09-21T13:56:00.000+05:30

Rain is so very sweetening. It leaves a sweet taste in your mouth. The clouds gather in the corner of the blue sky making it dark and as if to saw something which they wanted to saw something forever. You expect something to happen , be you expect the storm to blow. May be , there is a time for everything in the order of things. When you chance upon the sudden realization , that you are not alone. You feel like running. Something comes to your mind , that enigma track called “return to innocence”, don’t know why but it comes to your mind.

Well, when you were thinking so much of chained thoughts , it begins to rain. The clock refuses to accept the weather. It looks as if it is evening , the clock argues with it by proclaiming it is nowhere near the onset of evening , it loudly says time is stuck in point near the afternoon. May be this is how the perplexing thoughts hit you . Well , as it rains outside , I look on and the wind tries to force a battle with the paper in which I am writing.

Ruthless is the wind. It brings to my ear the call of “azan” from somewhere in town. The rains do not seem to matter to anyone , this is the time of the afternoon where everyone in the busy world seems to be very busy with their daily outlooks. May be I was a person left with nothing to do but may be stare at books and papers.

Anyway , winning the battle to capture the paper , I carry on this attempt to write. The raindrops carry on taking their flight from the clouds to the ground. The leaves take a few drops to look greener and greener . The passion of the green leaves is so simple.

This brings to my mind some of the memories of the not so long ago days of innocent childhood. Such days were fun , having spent a lot of the days time in the school , I look back the memories. It was fun to look out the cloudy skies from the open windows of the classrooms. The field was full of puddles. Coming back to home was fun , soggy boots , soiled shirts and waterlogged streets. The cars swam across the river like streets to create waves much to the dislike of the person on the street. Once I remember , a long time ago , our car got jammed in water and we were stuck. It was time where communication was may be not so much available , so we were stuck for a long time still someone invited us to their home to wait until a second car came to take us back home . The memory refrains me but of the little that comes to my mind that it took us 4 hours to get back home. It was something which comes to mind at time when I see street lights glowing in the time of broad daylight.Street lights celebrate rain I think , and trust me they do.

The sweetening effect of still moves some people. Not so long ago I saw someone kissing the raindrop and may be I thought all’s not over yet , it was kind of a wonderful sight.
Time moves on , nostalgia is always like this , tickles your heart so that you refuse to budge. Stints in life teach you the best days are days which are very simple in nature. Cliché’s are easy to find I guess but to be simple is a bit difficult.

The skies along with me await the onset of the festivities. The autumn skies which I look forward too and the glowing nights. May be the time comes when every year you meet a new hope and new urge to live on. Eagerness in my hearts leads to the chain of thoughts that move on into the life. The chain of my thoughts in very clear , I don’t want to be alone and look at a blank paper, it looks much better when it is filled up by words.
There’s something to look forward to , here goes the wind again.

May be the rain will stop now , may be the sun will shine before evening sets in. If not lets await a few days , I want the horizon smell of the festivities in place which the beat of indianised drums which speak upon the arrival of something.

Lets see what happens.

Walking past - Beyond love

2005-09-02T19:22:00.000+05:30

Walking past the same integration points .

Integrating the same old thoughts

Thinking into life

Thinking ..

How to change it

Do I need to ?

Sitting in a corner

Thinking alone

Leave apart the thoughts

What do I think ?

Has life lost its meaning ?

Whom am I questing ?

No one ..

so ..just kiss me and smile for ..me

tell me that you will wait for me !

Nothing sort of miracle !

I walk past

you walk past ..

Where do I go now ?

I need not go anywhere !

See its easy..

I question and answer myself !

God knows what happens
