The Sunken Boat

She moved hand in hand with water
Swayed by the waves around;
Full of enthusiasm and vigor
Leaving her anchor behind.

As time passed by; nothing could stop her
From going beyond and exhibiting her wafture
Ignorant of the storm that might occur
Such was her craziness for the undulated matter!!

Alas the dream turned into a nightmare
Came the turbulence, as part of nature's plan
The free entity smitten in love was unaware
Got absorbed in her love's clutches within a short span.

Betrayal and treachery, is what now she knows more
The sunken boat - deep down, love will she abhor!!

Life is a Celebration!!

You don't need an occasion to make others feel good. Life in itself is a celebration.
Each day is a gift to be fully cherished. If you do not laugh for a day, if you have not made someone's day happier, if you have not appreciated something good that has happened to you and if you have not felt thankful to be alive, then you have wasted that day of your life on earth.

Some amazing piece of lines extracted from Preeti Shenoy's book "Life is What You Make It". I just couldn't resist myself from not expressing myself on the same lines after having gone through the book.
What is happiness to us. When we want to be happy or when situation around us seems happy to us? Why do we rest our case of being happy on an external environment when it's there within. When life in itself comes with a package- a package of live, love and laughter why is the pursuit of happiness lost in the crowd of expectations and ignored feelings.

Define happiness in a way that it is entirely on your stride. Make it happen by spreading smiles around. Let not gloom put an end to your happiness for underlying the gloom is a reason to be happy for. When you lose something it opens up your arms and mind to a newer dimension of life, a fresher perspective to living.

Appreciate the cause of life and not the reason behind living. If everything needed a reason to exist then where lies the uncertainty, and here we have the mystery of happiness. Being happy for definite reasons is limited to the domain of the reason in context. But when you are happy for no reason or rhyme it's your world entirely. Nothing to stop at, nothing to look behind for.

Life is very unpredictable- any change of state, any change of being shouldn't let you step back and recapitulate. Move ahead with the pace and not just keep craving for an element of positiveness.

Give yourself a treat, pamper yourself on your own, keep stretching the smiles across hearts and encourage others to do the same. For happiness should never be limited, never be defined, never to be subdued for any cause of dismay come what may. Don't keep looking for a reason to be happy for it's inside you, a part of you- just let it out and then it's a world of your own!!

Where Soul Meets Body

Release yourself from the clutches of life
Let not any Entanglement get you carried away
Just dive into the world of "free"-ness
Coz life jingles up at the wink of the eye!!

Laugh not for the sake of being happy
Cry not to lament for pity
Feel is what should rule within
Gloom-Bliss will then seem sedentary

Whats in a smile - simple muscle crunching?
Or a face lighted up..
not just for its owner, but
For all those who bear witness to it?

A simple smile that stretches
From lips and meets the eye
Speaks a whole lot
Than an expression gone by..

Use your eyes, more to speak
Brighten up the atmosphere
Sing and chant along the hymns
Not for the sane but for the happy

Signs of fear let them sway
Smiles around you..just need to give in
Open up your arms, quench your crave
For the melodies of sanctified sin

Why think twice for
what your heart says
why care for the journey
when you know the destination

Just move with the flow, not of the hoi polloi
but of your own soul...
A soul not ruled by body
but a soul which vents through it!!!


Where soul meets body
There is where paradise lies
This is when you reach your home
The home of your dreams!!

When life comes to a standstill!!!

There were days when you wished if life had a pause button of its own. You felt like taking that step backward so as to finish off a lot of incomplete things. You wished if only the day were of 48 hours. Feel to split up yourself to convince, impress everybody, enjoy everything you want. But alas it doesn't happen and then you have to let go of of many things and enjoy with the few for which you took a positive call.

And all of a sudden you are now gifted with transience, opulence, extravagance of TIME which was otherwise running away from you. You seem to be struck with this surprising metamorphosis of your routine. Having always been made to go through a time-scarcity phenomena, the few moments free from engagements do infuse a tingling sensation as of an illusion. The realisation in itself seems to be a dream. By the time you are awake to actually grasp the motionless life as it seems to be, you are all loaded and geared up. For you are expectantly preparing for the unfinished, long awaited tasks to add that touch of soigne to your otherwise perfect but incomplete life.

There you stand by your window looking outside at the treadmill-paced up life of the city, failing to realise the pace though. What more strikes to you is the stillness of the huge lifeless buildings. The Water dripping off the hooves of the houses from last night's rains. The cradle that was always the neighbourhood child's best friend but now kept desserted in the terrace. This is when you feel like why is life taking a turn for you.

Looking at the mirror, you feel like posing a question why do my eyes look so lightened up!! Is it because today you had that extra hours of sleep, or is it just for that tinge of randomness in your life which you are all willing to experience. For that moment you want to do off with all the petite things that you had planned to wrap up. Just feel swayed by the nothingness that life gifts you, feel gifted to be living on your own terms, feel complete from within, feel blessed to feel life!!!

Romance Rekindled!!!

Here comes Plain White T's "I love you" playing the protagonist in this post...nevertheless it has also been the inspiration behind it!!! Sitting in the dark..with a power cut to be persisting the entire night i try to resort to my gloomy side for trivial reasons, and just before i could try to be morose, freshness pours in through the serene candle light further enhanced by the video of the rhythmic tunes of "I love you"...cute is the word as described by a friend. Period. That's how the video unfolds giving you more and more of an opportunity to fall in love.

Having said this, the song in itself is deeply intriguing tickling your senses to crave for more and more of it. You are already smitten by the feel of romance. No room for any more mushiness by anybody.The spell in itself is so hypnotizing.
Why do you need any soul to feel love...why do you need to hear the three words from somebody..why do you need to be felt special in the most aesthetic way...Love needs no personification..no reciprocation..in abstract it can exist. Just let yourself free fall to the rhythm of that transient state in which you are ready to be moulded..ready to be felt..ready to be loved..

And thats how one gets wafted by the breeze, smitten by fancy thoughts of getting wet in the rains, sailing through waves of joy making one feel free and fall in love all over again..not to love or be loved but just to experience LOVE the way it is...

METRO MANIA

There came Dhobi Ghat and now comes Delhi Belly...

Both the movies have many things in common other than just the production houses...
when one ponders to think of Dhobi Ghat...after having watched that movie there was a blank expression..what was the movie all about...was there some story...some motto...well it leaves u clueless in that regard. Only thing that touched your heart was the way it portrayed the austere life of Mumbai. And no its not the urban Mumbai. It was more of the dirty ugly side of suburb mumbai which was portrayed with some immensely beautifully put acting charisma of some newbies as seen in the movie..

And then flashes Delhi Belly...another one from aamir and his wife's production house depicting another great metro of our nation. No storyline..no drama..yet the movie runs housefull...full of slangs...unbearable scenes..right from the red light ares to the thatched broken poorly built houses evrything which Delhi wouldnt like to boast of was portrayed. And even then you come out of the movie amazed...fresh faces..fresh acting..hardly any typical songs to soothen your hearing sensations....

What is it thats making or otherwise simply changing this era of movies. What are aamir n kiran trying to portray or signify with such a genre of movies. Which is very much not for all types of movie lovers..but still they are able to leave a very good impression on a very good fraction of society. Maybe its just because of the way its produced and enacted that the movie works out well..or maybe the Indian crowd with time and sensibility feels the need of a change. Well nothing more can be said..for now we are sure to experiment more with such unconventional yet commercial plays because its their time to stay here for sometime from now.....

"Hope is a very GOOD thing"

Tim Robbins echoes this through the layers of dialogues in a subliminal way to Red, the lead morgan freeman in Shawshank Redemption. The movie which teaches us how if one can live upto one's own hope, one's own expectations then he can never dwell in vanity. Nevertheless life has its own way of teaching us. Throws stones at us, makes us go through morbid situations, distress and gloom are designed to be our retreat. Life with its turpitude can actually bring us to that breaking point. The point where we feel like discarding being an earthizen.

But this is where hope reflects upon and helps the distressed to break all odds and over rule. That's when man learns to ride across the barriers of the dictatorship of distress over his life. These are the points when we realize that its not only we who are sinned or cursed. Its mandatory for every soul to have his own share of rejections and setbacks. Just that it becomes visible to the outside for some people and invisible for the others.

Taking the instance of Morgan Freeman who had incessantly been rejected to be released from Shawshank jail for 40 long years, finally is confronted with approval of being released. Then is what he realizes how good is to hope, how good it feels when our hopes come true, then is when we realize how good the entire journey of sufferings and torment have proved worthy of going through.

If it so happened that life gives us everything without even a single bumpy ride how would we learn to hope for things, how would we build upon on the divine virtue of faith, how would we know what it feels to reach the end where lies nothing but serenity and peace. Thats what is stressed upon, let time around us, the world around us not make us fall prey to its plotted falling points. Then is when triumph would join hands with us. Thats what is called victory over everything.
