Oh what a soot!

Walk into a coal mine. say nothing but dream soars,
Dish out all the diamonds , say they all are yours,
and then when the coal mine is all black and void
leave with a beaming face ....say oh what a waste
the darn coal mine grew boring after time,
no more diamonds to my mercy ,
little cherished but oh so fine.
It's all the coal mine's fault that it could bear no more.
Nothing more to give , an empty hollow
But the coal that burned and burned till it could burn no more ,
could give more warmth to the heart than the sparkle of the diamond galore' !

Checkmate


Ever wondered if there is someone up there in the heavens trying to frame and shape our destiny, our future according to his / her plan. I believe in being gender neutral in this aspect though I would rather characterize the Creator as a he. It makes it easier to believe when you see horrible things happening. Ruthless decisions being made about soemone’s life unlike the caring, loving image that ‘womanly’decisions are usually expected to paint.
The chess board is set. The pawns are in place. The king, the queen and the rookie. All in place. Waiting anxiously to play their part. None of them knows which one is going to win the game, which one is going to fall down, succumb to wishes of some hand that rules every move it makes and none of them have a clue why they are doing what they are and how it is affecting someone else after they themseleves are ousted or thrown out of the picture.
And yet each time, yes every single time that someone up there says checkmate we blame ourselves, we are shocked, surprised, angry or just simply helpless since we could not anticipate it.........Wonderfully amusing isn’t it?

Sealed lips

A not so while ago one of my friends and I were talking about TALKING and my friend had said to me, well I really don't like to talk on the phone with people. I would get irritated and wouldn't want to believe people like my friend and many others of that type who wouldn't want to communicate using Bell's invention.Or infact I would find it darn annonying and unbelievably haughty behavior when given this excuse that I do not like talking on the phone. Yes quite irrational as this is, it's true. Expectation that the world is just like you are, is a myth and the sooner it breaks the better would be your livelihood.

Recently though, I began to think whether we all are slowly but surely getting addicted to this useful but time consuming instrument called the phone.However soon the tides of change have brought in a new perspective to the act of communication. Well so my friend if you are reading this, I know now what pleasure therein lies when one resorts to a phone free quiet life.

Dialogues within one's brain , solitude and sealed lips that give you freedom from social norms. Freedom from fake ettiquettes and small talk. Freedom from masking and freedom from being lonely in a crowd. Freedom from being misunderstood, Freedom from being misquoted. Freedom from all things untrue and freedom from being laughed at and ridiculed. Freedom from being overestimated and freedom from being bound by anything unintelligible, least of all freedom from being blamed and freedom from being pitied.
I no longer feel the need to be connected. The need to express verbally. The need to talk......

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

life's like an elliptical machine

Life is indeed like an elliptical machine.
When you are almost worn out, burning deep inside and cannot take a single stride
You are getting the most out of what you are doing...................

De Rabeet Sawng


Hippoty hop Hippoty hop goes the rabbit a plop
Trudging along, singing a song, meddling long

Alice from wonderland, stops by and says her Hi
The rabbit is least aware, million things running her little rabbit land
Bags on shoulder a ton heavy and how they wonder
Buses and trains missed a number

Hippoty hop Hippoty hop goes the rabbit a plop
Trudging along, singing a song, meddling long so long

Well read and polished and so darn learned.
Everyone succumbs to stupidity but rabbit discerns
Cleverly gnawing her way through
The rabbit shows how 4 is nothing but a simple 2 + 2

Hippoty hop Hippoty hop goes the rabbit a plop
Trudging along, singing a song, meddling long so long

Rabbit falls in love one fine day and
The winds of change seem certain
Rabbit however sticks by the old and let’s in the new
So hard to find this quality to come by

Hippoty hop Hippoty hop goes the rabbit a plop
Trudging along, singing a song, meddling long so long

Dearest rabbit, a sweetheart, a friend to live for or die
Let the smile stay so long as the stars shine upon this earth
How your eyes twinkle and shine and tensed is every nerve
May thy true love bring you what you deserve
