How True...

When a Man Lies, He Murders
Some Part of the World
These Are the Pale Deaths Which
Men Miscall Their Lives
All this I Cannot Bear
to Witness Any Longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
Take Me Home

Sanitarium

She enters the room and flicks the light on... The mirror stares back hard at her... It is inevitable that she be there, even if it is for that ephemeral period... Huh! Ephemeral maybe for the outer world... She has to endure this every single day, twice... Endure might be too strong a word, but its harsh on her she feels... For it is all so still, staring at the wall and sitting at the same place, unmoving...

She starts to undress and flinches ever so slightly at her reflection in the mirror...For she is used to herself now, the seemingly surreal and capricious imperfections, created and deleted by her own encumbered mind...


And of course there is the light...She is not even afforded darkness to escape this suffocating reality...She strips slowly, running this in through her mind...She cannot switch off the light once she sits down, cos she cant get up...Well she can, but her mind has imposed the restriction on HER!, binding, chaining her to her spot...

As the music starts to play in the innards of her head, she carefully places herself on the ground, ready to run thru the same rigmarole inside her mind...Of agony, of frustration - slowly building upto a climax, which is the realisation that all of this is inevitable.............

Philanthropy


Philein - To love
Anthropos - Mankind

Well, Google atleast seems to be loving e-mankind for sure!! Found and read this article on bbc news recently...Felt very happy about it...

Now to see it in practice is just the culmination of a very good venture I think! Keep it up bru! :)

Huh what?! I'm not sure whether this gets into the category of "cute"...

Weekly wisdom

Things learnt in this eventful week :

  • There is something called 'Pain-Shock' (Medical Purists shall go elsewhere for the apposite terminology)... When one has taken a sharp jab, it somehow hits ur brain or some such crap and the shock causes one to become quite weak... Irulli Doses eaten just 30 minutes ago will fail to provide the required stamina/energy and one shall be susceptible to collapsing unless taken care of...
  • On sets of movies, the extras(as in those eternally happy faces dancing beside, behind and everywhere except the hero/heroine's spot) get some extra money by doing some extra work "at night"...The price? A meager 25 Rs
  • An auto driver driving from 4-5 pm in the evening to 1-2 am in the morning earns only upto 100 Rs per day...The same driver, who has been working for roughly 25 yrs, does not even have a quarter of the money he has earned in that period...Bad investment planning? ooooh huge words...
  • And the most important insight of all : Perspective
It is very hard for a person (P1) to consider another person's (P2) viewpoint in a situation involving both of them...Be it something P1 says or thinks or responds to something P2 has told P1...Cos people rarely think about what their reply or words or actions might appear as to other people...

Point to be noted that I am not asking anybody to change their actions or words to suit others...One should always adhere to personal policies and conveniences...But in a situation where it "costs" one nothing to be there for the other person, one has got to consider the other person's point of view and state of mind and respond to THAT...

Needless to say, the whole issue of perspective becomes highly significant when there is some sort of misunderstanding or communication gap...Many might consider what I am about to say as giving up their stronghold, but I deem it necessary cos ultimately what you want is resolution of the situation...Think a minute...Think a minute about the other person...About what he/she is going through right now in his/her mind...Then make ur move...A minute didnt cost no one nothing...

A tribute

Never ever have I been more made aware of the meaning of the lines 'Life is ours we live it our way'...

I feel To do what you want to do with your own life, to do what makes you happy can be the most amazing and greatest realization of your life!

How close or far away from it are we?! It doesn't matter, because you can only feel happy when you see another soul achieving it...

Here are lines uttered by one such soul (I think) :

"....Beligge Ramnagarakke hogiddvi...ond 10-20 km odaadbittvi...Beligge ond cigarette hodediddiddu...tindi ge (!!!)...Sakkat susth agoithu...Urvashi menake ella rudraakshi haakond kann munde dance maadida hange aagtittu...So ond putta gudslittu...Alli hodvi enaadru tinnakke sigatta anta...Raagi Mudde ide saar andru...Yammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmah!! YEEEno sakkataagitthu!?! Six rupeeslo ond mudde, saambhar......Gowda's black soft tasty juicy ballsu!!

adella aadmele, sir tumba chenagitthu anta heldvi avrge...Aaga avru ond smile kottro...Aa smile eshtu genuine aagitthu gottha?! Full ishta agoithu!"

Shine on you crazy diamond... You, KA-05 EJ 2086, are without doubt a crazy human being...Continue being you...Cos maybe deep down inside me is a part who wants to be like you...

Only Human

Dedicated to you...

Under the grey expanse, in my terrace
A shining star transfixed in my sight
God had wound his jukebox up
Melancholy seemed to be the theme of the night

Easy for the mind to wander
Muse about things past present and yonder
But funnily the thoughts are lucid enuf
Of what will be and what i did squander

And as I lay still, reacting to the crescendo ( :) )
Not a limb moved, not a hair bristled
Everything except the star blurred and wavered
Along with the song this unique experience i savored!

But then the clouds took over
and tried to subdue the star
Bade its time, the star did
And shone again unscathed, without a scar

Realise that there might be clouds obscuring you now
And wise men say that in everybody's life some rain must fall
To me you're just like that star, wonder when you'll realise it
Intrinsic beauty n all n all n all !!

( Super duper P.S : I solemnly swear that I was not drunk when I composed this...If at any point of time, you thought this was some good shit, then YOU must be drunk...

Ok Serious P.S : The title of the post is intended to highlight the asinine, flawed nature of the author (also a human)... Extremely capricious and emotional, he tends to magnify simple events, like time spent with his ipod...)

Spiderman 3

Foreword : I will not talk about the movie here...Do not wanna write something which mite ruin the movie for others...

Instead I will say that on Saturday morning, I was to be found in Gold Class getting restless about why my lazyboy isn't as inclined as the one beside mine... Karan's patience, wisdom and experience came to the fore as he calmly pointed me to the switch that would take me from 90 deg to 160-170 deg...

First the cushions under ur leg start their ascent...They get to ur calves and say 'excuse me sir, we'll take it from here'...And off u go until u end up staring at the well aligned lights that adorn the gold class ceiling...I said out quite loud "I wish there were stars 'ere!"...

For most of the movie, the scene in row B seat number 5 could only be described as lazyboy lying on lazyboy (oooh that sounds quite gay, what?!).... Only during some moments was I impulsively "outta the chair!" as I rushed to ensure that my friendly neighborhood spidey was theek thaak :D

Everything's red inside...Wooden floors leading upto the loo/john...A bar upfront to lure you and fleece you...We went straight to spidey thanks...

Tata goodnight...

Stupid

I Think I ( My personal opinion only )

- am stupid
- care too much about others
- am good to others more than necessary
- consider others' feelings more than mine sometimes

All these.......Hazardous.....

Will I change? Most Likely Not.Continue to get clobbered and find only myself to blame (Eventually its me right?!)

Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears...
