Nirvana...

The Deafening sound of silence
Subtle and humble,
The disturbing noise of thoughts
Overlapping
Growing exponentially.
Microcosm and Macrocosm
And everlasting entanglement in it.
Vagaries of life
And life in those variations.
Schizophrenic plot to plunder my soul.
When these chains break
When these stains evaporate
When these waves subside
Only one thing emerges
True, eternal
Clear concise
I Me Myself
Nirvana……

Chennai (Un)friendly?

No matter how much I try to forgive the ethnocentric North Indian, he goes a step further which forces to me extend my patience by another level. One thing is for sure North Indian will never understand the linguistic attachment of the Tamizhs. For them it is as bad as a separatist movement. I can understand that they never have had the need to defend their language but that does not ever mean that whoever does is wrong. To rate a city, a culture, a race as being unfriendly on this one aspect that they don’t talk your mother tongue is nothing but a gargantuan misjudgment. Well I am surprised that how people manage to defend it. Let us set some facts clear here: 1.        Tamizh is not a regional language, it is the official language in three countries(India, Sri Lanka, Singapore) which makes it more international than any other language in India (Hindi-Urdu – 2 countries, Bengali – 2 countries) 2.        Chennai is not one of t...

Our Poem :) An ode to the new year

Image
The white knight said to his heart throb: “I am thinking that, If ever dreams & energy had a shape, I would perceive them and use them to be better man. If only dreams were reality and all the reality a dream and if ever those dreams came true, I would never come back in reality. If ever imagination has a limit and could become reality, I would go back in time and live my childhood again to live every moment as if it was my last and to Carpe Diem. If ever love had sense and was always understood And there was a scale to measure love then I would tell how I feel about you.” I can’t help but think, he continued: “How much more can be achieved, if ever there was a limit to desires and we could reach it from within. If only sky was the limit & the only borders across countries, If only we were so clever to keep others happy forever and ensure that there were no tears only smiles all around. If we realised life does not shrink as we grow. If only the world was a simple place and pe...

The Riddle called life.

It was raining heavily, pouring down - a welcome respite from the heat of the past week. Huddled under the small over-crowded bus stand, I was waiting for the rain to let up so I could walk back from work, when suddenly, out of nowhere, she came walking towards me, and then asked in a breaking voice, brother can you give me something to save my child? She almost startled me, her eyes were deep with sadness and her red sari was torn. I have never seen such a potent sorrow which hits a person like something solid. Her child seemed sick and was shivering. Could be just a ruse to milk money out of innocent bystanders, being the crook I am I stood wondering if she thought I was as naïve as I looked. I practiced looking naïve as she practices looking sad, like her child who practices being sick. The child was the best actor amongst us; he was shivering like a scared calf, I thought to myself as she started walking away. I could hear her murmuring in tamil ‘probably he thought I was cheater...
