Nirvana

Did he crave for the skies?
No!....never!
Abreast was he...
With his limitations!
What had he aspired for then?
... an yard of proximity?
...a feeling of kinship?
Nothing errant!
But alas!what was he fated for?
Denial!....
Rejection!...
Hostility for reasons unknown!!!
With pain galore;
He hibernated...
to Obscurity!
Therein he found...
Solace and fullfilness.
A healing...
For his wounds grave!
Nirvana revamped a life rusted!!!

How much do we care?

" There's one sad truth in life I've found

While journeying east and west -

The only folks we really wound

Are those we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know,

We please the fleeting guest,

And deal full many a thoughtless blow

To those who love us best." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Which are the most important relationships in our lives?...In my view,it must be the relationship that we share with our mom,dad,sis or bro...not withstanding our friends,life-partner and children!Have we ever imagined a life devoid of these relations?...Unimaginable,right?...
But how much of love and care are we able to show to these prima vitae people in our lives?Most of our time repository is so divided between the trivial incidents and sojourners in our lives that often we strive for a moment of expression...!Again at times, so engrossed are we in our work and other social commitments,that words do not suffice in venting out the latent emotions leave alone actions.Thus,finally all the love and care lay securely buried at the abyss of our heart...struggling for expression!

But,can their importance ever die?.....
Never!!!.... because....

"You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you." - Frederick Buechner

I am not creative...

At times you want to write yet the pen just refuses to skid further!...Scribbling of a barren mind ...

I fail to write...

Afflicted, I seek out...
Mind is but perturbed...

No newness at the proximity...
Oppressed thoughts though seek a vent...
Terrible it feels to be inert...

Credibility at question...
Respite seems to be a distant dream...
Exhausted yet challenges daunt...
Austere writing not in the domain...
Tangled in the marshy distress...
Inky darkness is all that I see...
Vigor lost in the pursuit of creativity...
Enervated...I give up!

I am not CREATIVE !!!

I Dwell...

In the realms of the verity of life..I dwell!
Wounded a myriad times,
I still aspire for the zenith!

The cruel tides of TIME,
Shatters me into bits...
But undaunted, I tread on!

A petite task ... exigent though...
The pinnacle of my dreams,
Is but what I wish to conquer!

In the far horizon,
A flickering ray of hope I see!

A beckoning new world...
Summons for a new beginning!

Life...

A brief hiatus and I am back again to the thing that I love doing the most....Of late there have been many upheavals in my life and resorting to writing is my way to pacify....

MANY A TIMES IN MY SOLITARY HOURS.....THOUGHTS CREEP OUT OF OBSCURITY....PUSHING ME HARD TO THINK...A SIMPLE QUESTION ...."WHAT IS LIFE ?".... STRIKES THE CHORDS OF MY MIND AND THE RIPPLES HENCEFORTH ENTANGLES ME IN A MENTAL COBWEB.....

24 LONG YEARS OF EXISTENCE ....AND EXPERIENCE OF THE SAGA CALLED LIFE!!!........A FOOL IS ALL THAT I MAY SEEM POSING THIS QUESTION ...BUT STILL IS IT NOT THE QUESTION WHICH EACH ONE OF US,THE LIVING MORTALS AT LEAST ONCE IN OUR LIFETIME SEEK AN ANSWER FOR?

GIVE A THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT....TAKEN AS AN INDIVIDUAL WE ARE NOTHING BUT EQUIVALENT TO A SPECK OF DUST IN THIS VAST UNIVERSE....IN FACT OUR IDENTITY GETS BLURRED BY THE VASTNESS OF THIS UNIVERSE....

STILL!!!!!.....

WE DEFINE OUR OWN PREROGATIVES...SET OUR OWN GOALS...FLOW ALONG WITH THE TIDAL WAVES OF TIME TRYING TO ADD A MEANING TO OUR EXISTENCE!!!....

EMOTIONS REIGN SUPREME...RELATIONS ARE BUT EVERYTHING....HUNGER FOR ACCOLADES...THIRST FOR RECOGNITION...SUCCESS TO BE ACHIEVED AT ANY COST....

ARE WE EVER ABLE TO SEE BEYOND THESE LIMITS?DO THEY ALL NOT SEEM FUTILE WHEN AT THE END WE ARE BUT TO BECOME ONE WITH THE VILE DUST?????

NO!!!!!!....NONE OF THE LIVING MORTALS THINK SO....NOT EVEN ME !!!!

"LIFE IS BUT ONE!....LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST"...A MOTTO EACH ONE OF US HOLD TIGHT TO OUR BOSOM!!!

I THINK ABOUT THIS.... I THINK ABOUT THE INADEQUACIES...THE CONTRADICTIONS....THE INCONGRUITY OF MY EXISTENCE...I THINK ABOUT THE PARADOX CALLED "LIFE"!!!!....

THESE ABSTRACT THOUGHTS OF MINE TAKES ME EVERYWHERE BUT..... LANDS ME NOWHERE!
