Let me just be...

Once I get tired of running hither thither
I might sit down and look up.
Realising that I have been only running in circles all along
and as a confounded schizophrenic might stare at you.
I might want to pour out all the contradictions in me
I would want to sleep to make up for these restless nights.
Like the skin shedding its toxins while healing
My mind shall let go of all its sins.
Then it might dawn on me how great life is
and how callously I have squandered it.
This dawn of greatness shall spread the light of humility
Then my heart will be filled with remorse
For all those things I never did and I will never do.
If at that time if I seek solace, refuge in you
Don’t turn me away Narahari!
Let me just soak in your infinite love
And let me just be……..

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 those cities that will awe you and make you fall in love wit

The Temptress

                I shall not enter the sea I stood defiant, stubborn. I did not want to enter the sea as I would not be able to bathe in it, because I was not dressed properly. I thought just standing on the edges with waves touching your feet will not be fun. A person of coast has a special relationship with the waves and he becomes snobbish, snooty as with someone you love.                 So, while my friends moved away holding random loci, I started walking along the coast when she reached out to me by stretching a gentle wave of silky warm cloak and invited me in. She played with my senses by blowing air around my hair; she laughed at me and enticed me to come near nay challenged me to stay far. To hell with it, I wanted to take off my floaters and roll up my pants and run towards her and step into the warmth of this Arabian Beauty.   But I moved slowly cautiously and before I realised I got engulfed in her scent and she started tickling my feet and played with it and slowly starte

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
