LIFE'S STOPS

Some days you wish,life would go slow,
put a pause to the never running flow,
to the rivers,to the winds,
all standing in the same place,a sudden silence,
even if only for a moment,it would change the world,


Perhaps sky and ground would meet,
united by the rain that would fall suddenly afterwards,
and by the thunder that that would unleash,
passing the energy in the ground,
the exchange of courtesies between two different worlds.


And perhaps the winds would unite all the living beings too,
life force travelling through it,
gushing out from old as it enters the new,
as the roses bloom and as the daffodils wither,
uniting all in a silence.


A cool cold smell fills the air,
in the aftermath of the rain that fell,
as leaves rustle,the children come out again,
playing in the grass,laughing,
a sweet song fills the air.


The search for the paradisia,the heaven,ends,
as it has come into the view,of the people who live here,
they are in a better place now,sadness leaking away,
into the void in space,to go away,
from the time,out of existence.


But there is a difference,hard to comprehend,
the sound is softer,the smell is sweeter,
the wind is cooler to touch,and the sun is a colourful rainbow,
an unnoticed appreciation of all that is around,passes through all,
and we were all finally equal in the end.

Life's Beauty

The taste of first rain,
dusty old vinyl records,
running whole day long ,
wind striking on the face,
those long waltzes with nature.

Such things make life beautiful,but they needn't actually be there in physical form.You need to have an eye for small things,perhaps a great imagination and you'll find that things have so much beauty!

I have often noticed that thinking about nature always gives me a calm,which I cant really feel otherwise.

Life's awesome!

It's too bad that most of us barely make our way through it without realizing its worth.....
That how good a gift it is.

In the end all that matters is how satisfied you are with your life,and how little you regret it.

For those who regret their past actions,isn't it your past actions only that define you.......then perhaps maybe you regret your very own existence......

I can have no business with those who keep on dwelling on their past,what they could have done,what they did wrong and blah-blah-blah.

Each new day is a new page,in a great book.

its up to you to make it refreshing and delightful to those around.And in the same way its up to u to make it boring enough by dwelling on the past all the time and not moving forward.

Thinking about the past should barely be restricted to remembering it as a happy time,end of an era,providing continuity to the new chapter,and we should always wait for the better pages to come along.

If we think is that our best days are over,then our life will be pitiable and despicable.

The only thing I can say is be happy and be thankful,for you are all gifted in ways you may not know right now,but when the time is right,you will know your gifts.

Use them well.


Au revoir!

Dream

once we shared some happy moments,
till you had to go.
you are like a dream i once had,
crumbling away slowly from the crevices of my mind.
please dont leave me,please dont go.


i wish i could draw your face,
alas,i dont remember it anymore.
you are like a dream i once had,
fading away into oblivion.


perhaps i should go back to sleep,
maybe i will meet you once more.
u r a pleasant spectre in my mind,
i'll hold on to you forevermore.


you are a dream i once had,
i now finally understand.
my mind has stopped comprehending you anymore,
yet my feelings betray it.
are you a dream or a reality??
i will never know.....

Growing distances

I was thinking about some of my old friends just sometime ago.


There are a number of people who have become very distant now but were very close at one time.And though I sometimes miss them,I guess it is okay.

I mean,almost everything ends someday.what you can do to make something permanent is to never forget what you once had.

I know it is hard to still think of those once close people that highly even now,but why taint the potrait of our memories with something as loathesome as indifference.

Life is a journey,you meet people everyday.You get close to some people and not with others.Some of those people remain with you for long and others for a short period of time.And yet that short period of time can sometimes outweigh the long lived friendships.

I dont think it is anyone's fault that people grow apart in time.Time can only heal if not increase that distance.And still you wont get that close to them as you once were.Perhaps,some things are irrepairable.Or perhaps not.I dont know the answer to that question.Maybe I never will,so I'll have to hope for a future where everything will be all right,where I'll get to see the metaphorical paradisia,laughter ringing through the trees,all the people you ever knew back to the way you once knew them.

That is,maybe a very far fetched dream,but only by dreaming can we hope for something with some certainty,isnt that right?

"MAYBE",doesnt everything we ever hope for depend on this hope giving word?
Though uncertainty in its core,it still gives us some reassurance,and that can sometimes be everything you'll ever need.


MAYBE.........

journey of life

i saw the world,when it was young,

i was young then too.

i was but then,an insignificant being,

but something very new.

taking form after form,

from small to large,

i spread all through the world.

from insects to 'mammoth' dinosaurs,

i thrived,i died out but was born back through.

and i thought this cycle will never end,

my incarnations in forms so many but new.

and though pattern repeated and i borned and died,

but countless rich stories

continued to brew.

alas the world is ending now,

this cycle will soon be over.

was it all pointless,my whole existence,

maybe no one will know it ever.

at last i am tired of running,

i'll leave the question of my meaning.

tell me someday,if you do find it,

through persistent gleaning.

but now,i'll close my eyes,

and bid goodbye forever.

maybe we'll meet someday,

and maybe you'll recognize me,

in a form new,maybe never.

BOOK REVIEW:ARTEMIS FOWL AND THE ATLANTIS COMPLEX

I read the latest book of Artemis Fowl a week ago.Needless to say,it was a great book.Eoin Colfer is a genius to have maintained the quality of a book series through so many Artemis Fowl books.Though based on  Artemis Fowl,the child genius,the latest book was greatly different from its predecessors.

Firstly,this one had,not the usual sharp Artemis Fowl who saves the world with his wit but rather on an Artemis afflicted with a condition known as Atlantis Complex--a unique mixture of obsessive complusive disorder(OCD),multiple personality disorder,paranoia and suspicion to the extent that he doesn't even trust his baby brothers and has suspicions of them hatching a conspiracy against him(this was a really funny scene).

This book is also different in a manner that it transcends in the emotional arena like no other Artemis Fowl book has ever done.There  are precious few emotional scenes but endearingly so.Like the dedication of Turnball Root to his wife.TRULY HEARTBREAKING.Also this book shows that how evil things are done for the right reasons and the world isn't a black and white place with some good and bad guys.

In this book we meet  Orion Fowl,an alter ego of Artemis Fowl created by his subconscious due to the multiple personality disorder.Another thing that really surprised me(pleasantly so) was the accuracy of description of the phenomena of the subconscious.It is said that even though we may not register everything that we see consciously,but our subconscious never forgets anything it sees.This book uses this fact.

Also the book shows Holly in her usual energetic self and Foaly in not-so-bloating self(surprising..eh?).We also see Butler's sister Juliet in her likeable self and Butler in his big brother self.Apart from all this the book is very picturisque in its descriptions,especially of the glaciers.

Overall the book is very well written and is at par,if not better than the previous Artemis Fowl books.Still it makes for  a light read,nothing very intense.Some scenes will literally cause people to laugh out loud and some are to an extent, emotional.Hats off to Eoin Colfer.Some people may criticize the end calling it open-ended.But that is to leave room for conclusion in the last book.Atlantis Complex is the penultimate book in the series.

Definitely worth a(many) read(s).

Rating---4.5/5 stars
