Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

- Pink Floyd

Doctor said "she's dying"

A person whom you love the most, a person who is your companion so much so that you both are seamlessly bound to each others' lives....such a person, if, is dying, then what do you feel? Does one feel bad and sad because...
1) ...you feel sorry that such a wonderful person will cease to exist?
or
2)... you feel sad for yourself...sad thinking of what are you going to do and how difficult life would be once that person goes out of your life?

What is the reason we all cry when that love of our life dies? Is it selfishness reflected in our sense of loss? or is it the projection of the dying person's pain in your own self due to the closeness of the relationship? or is it the shattering of one's deeply desired dreams and aspirations that were intricately woven around the other person?

What is the real reason behind grief in the face of death of the love of your life?

A gullible stomach

Sometimes I feel our stomach is so gullible :-P It might be burning with hunger and we would feel we need to eat a substantial meal in order to douse it's hungry fires. But then even a few bits of chips ( worst possible 'meal' ) is enough for you to feel all full again ! What an idiot the stomach is !

A flutter in the heart :-)

I think Shakira, Beyonce and Katherine Heigl are the world's most beautiful women ! I just can't take my eyes off them whenever I see them on screen. That doesnt mean I check out their videos on youtube etc... naaahhh, am not obsessed but I am totally gaga over these women ! I very rarely wish this but here i am - I wish I could date Shakira ! I think she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen in my life :-)

There you go.... I have lifted a huge weight off my shoulders with this confession. Of course this does not mean that I find my ex-gfs any less beautiful,,,,, they are probably the most beautiful and loving women I have ever met :-) cheers !

The Valentine Day Metaphor

A high left elbow, a loose bottom hand grip, the head straight and still - that's another way in which to look at love as per me :-)
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FOLKS ! May love fill your each day with its amazing magic :-)
also
happy cricketing bonanza that awaits us in the world cup.
Have tried to use cricketing lingo to describe love in our time.

God bless and have a beautiful v day for all who have a valentine.

Shoots spring through ! :-)

saw this line in a forward and just cant seem to get it out of my head :

If you judge people, you have no time to love them !

I have been trying to follow this philosophy for some time now but failing. But I am trying hard to follow this in my personal life atleast. Love for me is defined by Hafiz's poem which I have spoken about earlier -

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth - "you owe me!"
Look what happens with a love like that....
IT LIGHTS UP THE WHOLE SKY

Also never to break 4 things in my life - Trust, Relation, Promise and Heart. Because when they break, they don't make noise but pains a lot ! I don't know if I am even half way close to this goal ! But yeah keeping on thinking about these will surely help in following the same.

he he ! turned out to be quite a strange post ! Blaaa !

'Pricks' from a Porcupine Tree

As the cheerless towns pass my window
I can see a washed out moon through the fog
And then a voice inside my head breaks the analogue
And says

"Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

I survived against the will of my twisted folk
But in the deafness of my world the silence broke
And said

"Follow me down to the valley below
You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

"My David don't you worry
This cold world is not for you
So rest your head upon me
I have strength to carry you"


"Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul
Come to us Lazarus
It's time for you to go"
