sweet voices...

where have you been all this time???
will you be there?
will i get a chance to lay my eyes on you?
a chance to say hello...?
will i get a chance to hold your hands?
a chance to look in those emerald eyes...?
will i get a chance to search your soul?
a chance to devour your breath...?
will i ever fall in love?
and will u be the one for me..?
will i ever really belong?
when you belong somewhere else?
will our worlds intersect?
when we aren't in the same galaxies?
will i ever smell?
will i ever know?


*voices in the head*

the raindrops...

a bloom...
the fertility boom...
the thundering rains...
the jittery children...
mindboggling weather changes...
and yet the cycle continues...
the wheel hath been carved to revolve...
the currents are never stemmed...
the magic weaver continues to weave...
the dream maker casts the dreams...
there are hopes...
there are aspirations...
there is trust...
there is faith...
somewhere amidst the dark...
dawn threatens to break through the night...
stars seem to smile...
their souls sing...
sing to the mothernature...
sing to life...
sing to existence...
sing to peace...
the pattering continues...
the raindrops continue to cleanse...
what our churches, synanogues, mosques, temples couldn't do...
this rain does...
there is harmony...
mankind stands united...
souls entwine...
new bonds are made...
old ones called upon...
the rain continues to pour...
mother earth continues to blossom...
and tomorrow...
there will be...
new quests...
new aspirations...
new hopes...
the workshops will resume work...
for tomorrow...
there will be chaos...
there will be war...
there will be mayhem...
but deep down inside...
there will be bonds...
there will be trust...
for life is beautiful...
every word that has been uttered is valuable...
our existence is meaningful...
live...
LIVE!!!...
live?...
LIVEEEEEEEEEE...
for tomorrow will bring new meanings...
newer goals...
so live it while it lasts...

basically...

it is ironic and yet truly sad when you can feel the plight and pain of the losing side...the pain is eccentuated when your own friends fail to realise that you are and have always been a BARCA MAN...
more on that tonight...

life as we know it...

the pained expressions...
eyes belying the arrogance...
defeated gaits...
swollen eyes...
ruffled hair...
sometimes even "gods" can take a fall...
our idols can look lacklustre at best...
there are times when you can pity your sagging enemy...
when you can feel the torment...
the disgust...
the loss of pride and respect...
when the act of surrender and submission is made to look sinful...
when your soul hath been scorned upon and scorched...
who are the heroes?
who are the greats?
who will guide us...
who will motivate us...
we all need icons...
symbolic as they may be...
but we do nonetheless...
just like we need stickers on our cars...
to make a statement...
to show our allegiences...
but why?
are we really all that?
just that...?
that...?
THAT!!!...
is that all we will ever be...
i feel that life aint about winning or losing...
that glory aint the trophy...
glory is the experience...
glory is being THERE...
glory is loving what you do...
glory is LIFE...
with all its intricasies and pain...
glory is when a special kid is raised up as normal...
glory is when a heart donor gives life to you at his cost...
glory is making a difference...
no brawny trophies could ever be all that...
i know...
i really do...
i feel i do...
i thought i did...
life is truly beautiful...
life is about finding your own meanings...
interpreting your own incidents...
striving for meanings...
deciphering the cryptic codes...
inferring from them and never letting go..
to never say die...
to believe in yourself...
life...
will then turn to you...
and give you beyond your wildest expectations...
learn to believe in it...
co peacefully coexist...
and one day you too will have your hands full...
till that day...
LET THE ROLLERCOASTER BEGIN...

P.S im listening to Abba's Winner takes it all...
and i know there arent no losers...
we deem ourselves that...
we show others how weak we are...
we degrade ourselves...
let our alters be strong...
let our principles be irreconciliable...
i dont know if that is a word...
duty calls...
macro two here i cometh...

life will...

trance connects...
the sun shines in all its glory...
the fags are lightened...
the engines are revved...
the taps ooze the liquid of life...
there is mayhem...
there is chaos...
there is pain...
there is glory...
the trains whizz by...
the planes sneak by...
passengers head to their destinations...
there is a vibrancy in the air...
something about the whole scenario...
the world is abuzzz with the news of yet more bombings...
yet more lives lost for unknown causes...
today we are more lost than we have ever been...
lost in our thoughts...
lost in our minds...
the mercurial passages hath been blocked...
today we seek meanings...
but all we do is cover ourselves in yet more complex layers of our existence...
we seek power...
we pursue gains...
any will do...
there are newborns...
some distance away...
there are morgues...
there is hue and cry of joy...
and there are cries of the orphaned and the widowed...
this to me is life...
its shining so bright...
and yet deep deep down...
its crying its heart out...
but we hath buried ourselves in our own glory...
we DA MAN...
the invincibles...
we shall trod...
we shall be...
but who are we...
we shall never know...

sometimes...
just hold a hand...
just touch a life...
just glimpse with love...
just reach out...
appreciate...
love...
one life...
dont just live it...
be the life...
give life...
cherish life...
and somewhere down the lane...
LIFE will find you...

...to...

and so the saga raged on...
the bloodbaths...
the stench of death...
the cry of an orphan...
the pleads of young widows...
fell on deaf years...
there were no longer heroes to look upto...
the big bad wolves were no more...
man had assumed that role...
the little red riding hoods of the world were insecure as never before...
freedom did not come at a price...
it failed to turn up...
there was pain and anguish...
there were hungry malnourished mouths...
there was chaos...
and yet...
somewhere...
deep deep down...
there was a lingering hope...
a niche...
sensitive and pure...
a faint shimmer...
the outlines of a faint glow...
the beginning of a new era...
the ushering of the new age...
of vibrancy and stoicism...

there are times in our lives when the little occurences find new meanings...
when we start thanking our stars for all the good things that have happened...
and for all those bad things that never happened...
sometimes its good enough to thank...
thank...
your Lord...
your mentor...
your idols...
your peers...
it takes a single thought...
just a thought...
to make this place just a little better...
i feel that it's only when you are put to test that you embrace yourself and make your own existence proud of your mettle that you thought was never there...
this goes out to all those...
who had faith...
who stuck to their beliefs...
and who never faltered...
for PERSEVERANCE COMMANDETH SUCCESS...
sigh...
let the new dawn begin...

...if only they knew...

the ban hath been lifted...
the masses hath triumphed...
the processions marched ahoy...
there were festivities...
there were feasts...
but what there wasnt...
was the gloom...
the realisation of times...
of moments...
of instances...
of an era...
which hath deserted them...
though they were the deserters...
the era had moved on...
the civilization stood there...
basking in glory...
proud and obstinate...
but what no one knew...
was that...
the victors werent the rulers...
and the beggars werent the oppressed...
the tides had turned...
if only they knew...
if only...

...the anthem...
