It was bright and colored in white,
It was near me yet so far.
But I could still see it with my eyes,
With a bliss of unknown delight.
See the self in the mirror and
See the self within the flesh.
See the soul inside you,
Beside the worldly glamour and disguise.
You can’t cheat him and you can’t hide
You can’t lie and can’t misguide.
It’s inside you and your basis of living,
It’s more than the conscience you value in this life.
Hold on to you and look in self,
There it appears piled with sins.
You might worry if you did it all,
It’s your soul and only yours who will have to carry all load

Moments of life
There are moments you restrain,
There are moments from which you refrain.
You run and you hide,
You instigate and you mitigate.
You remember some lost names,
You recall some forgotten games.
When you hear that similar sounding line and think,
Oh I have heard it before some place.
Every day in the present,
You carry those past states.
Were you were loved and cared by some
And ditched by some of the mates.
Life is lovely and lovely are those old forgotten days
There are moments which make you laugh,
And there are other for which you weep.
For rest of the memories you cherish they look good buried deep.
There are moments from which you refrain.
You run and you hide,
You instigate and you mitigate.
You remember some lost names,
You recall some forgotten games.
When you hear that similar sounding line and think,
Oh I have heard it before some place.
Every day in the present,
You carry those past states.
Were you were loved and cared by some
And ditched by some of the mates.
Life is lovely and lovely are those old forgotten days
There are moments which make you laugh,
And there are other for which you weep.
For rest of the memories you cherish they look good buried deep.

If you are different than this is the time
Saturated and full,
Now is the time for your actions than many.
Abstractions if any
Watch them with pity
Rise above the usual
To make up for what has been done
Grow beyond expectations
For what has forgone
Nothing is stronger than your will
Nothing should let you down and make subtle
If you were all than you shall be them
And if you are different than this is the time.
Now is the time for your actions than many.
Abstractions if any
Watch them with pity
Rise above the usual
To make up for what has been done
Grow beyond expectations
For what has forgone
Nothing is stronger than your will
Nothing should let you down and make subtle
If you were all than you shall be them
And if you are different than this is the time.

I woke up and it was like a new dawn
I woke up and it was like a new dawn
Smiling to the sun
It seems like just another day
but it was after a millions of seconds of pain
I woke up for a reason
Other than mine
It’s like that reason
Something more than divine.
The past now look like a dream
Were all happened in flash of seconds.
No reason for me to be blamed
And no reason to be ashamed.
I look at the dawn hoping for the glory
And hoping for the light
To guide me across
And away from the dark.

Is it the end or hope for a new beginning with virtue?
If it was in crimson or was it in blue,
The shaken soul hardly had a clue.
She asked no one for help,
Until she vanished in dark.
Fear of the unknown and love for the misery,
Made her search deep and deep.
She was digging the barren land of life,
Still filled with lust and still filled with greed.
She choose, this to be her way out of all,
Thought it might help her to save her soul.
Let forgive all from the forbidden past,
This would be the ultimate remedy on earth.
There she lies in peace, not knowing any noise.
Not knowing love and hatred, for dead or alive.
Was it her who looked so lifeless and so blue,
No one had a clue.
Is it the end or hope for a new beginning with virtue?
The shaken soul hardly had a clue.
She asked no one for help,
Until she vanished in dark.
Fear of the unknown and love for the misery,
Made her search deep and deep.
She was digging the barren land of life,
Still filled with lust and still filled with greed.
She choose, this to be her way out of all,
Thought it might help her to save her soul.
Let forgive all from the forbidden past,
This would be the ultimate remedy on earth.
There she lies in peace, not knowing any noise.
Not knowing love and hatred, for dead or alive.
Was it her who looked so lifeless and so blue,
No one had a clue.
Is it the end or hope for a new beginning with virtue?

Appearances could be deceptive
When I heard the news about so called Swami,”Nithyananda” I was not surprised, shocked or hurt. I think it’s usually the people who are to be blamed rather than an individual. If you believe in some one above human you must not give any individual so much importance and place them equaling God and if you do not believe in anything like God there is no scope for further discussion.
Let it be some so called SWAMI or some politician we always set our beliefs to the extra ordinary set of expectations and than want them to come true.
I mean let’s just list out a simple example of a recent politician linked to a lady related to IPL stake, I guess you know the rest if you don’t please find out because the issue is not what happened but why it happened.
We live in a society with idealistic views were we are comfortably living and want to continue living in veils of our disguised images. Can you think of a lady politician wearing skirts or trousers(In India), I don’t think you would because you are ingrained with a thought that lady politicians In India are wrapped in 5.5 meters of cloth most of the times faded and dull colored ones or to the most modern ones wearing salwar kamiz with a dupatta almost as long as a sari (I know that’s a little exaggerated).
Aren’t we masking the reality behind the veils and not letting the truth be in the most nascent and raw form which is nothing but the truth.
I do not understand how does it make a difference if a minister wears skirt, sari or may be trouser( on more professional attire) until and unless they are good at their work nothing should matter.But In India we believe in deceiving and carrying a deceptive looks, if you wear a sari you are seen like that sati-savitri (she was considered the most pious women) and you wear a mini skirts there are always eyebrows raised whereas the fact is these are just appearances and as I said they could be deceptive.
Living in your own dual lives you are shocked, hurt and let down when some news like these reveal the inside truth. I mean how could you expect some other creature made with the same five elements as you, not be lead away by lust, greed or success after all its human isn’t it?
I think the cultural beliefs should be set on the foundation of transparency and truth rather than making it look like pristine or rosy (when I say look like I mean “fake it”). It’s more like accepting some one smooching in public (you would remember an incident of famous Lady politician and lady business tycoon featured on page1 of news paper) rather than making sex tape inside saffron cloths of a spiritual guru.
Over the past this is not the first incident or the only incident which has shown the hypocrisy of our beliefs or the the deception we want to live in. Whether it is family, relations or outside world we believe in the superficial appearances. If you wear a veil of piousness you are so, whereas if you are blunt with your thoughts your character could anytime be in danger.
The only thing I think before I believe is appearances could be deceptive, so don’t believe what you see and don’t see what appears; try to look beneath the layers and below the surface you might come face to face with the ugly but raw truth.

Silence speak louder than words. Does it?
I some times feel we have been so habituated of the noise that living in silence could give hazardous result. More often than not I have so much to speak that I go on and on for hours, well that may be because I speak to very few people and always have so much to tell them.
However as some one said silence could be louder than words, I yet think how many of us have actually have thought about it.
My college was close to a school however this was a very different school, If you pass by you would never hear any noise, any chaos but silence. There was no noise doesn’t mean there was nothing to be said, nothing to be expressed or no questions to be asked.There were more inquisitive kids than you have seen and more questions than you would have ever thought or imagined.
The other day while I was traveling I met this wonderful kid who could hardly hear and could not speak but I felt so embarrassed when a 10 year old had so many questions thrown at me and I had no answers to tell her.
She had so many questions like were do I live, what do I do, were is my home, why do I live here, If I am married and so many other questions for few I had no answers for few no explanations and for the rest I was too dumb to understand.
I was wondering how much is this kid gifted with. The ability to think and question, I bet any normal kid would ask you all these questions and even be able to communicate to more than their immediate material needs. When I said normal child I did not mean these kids are abnormal I meant they are gifted and blessed more than me or you.
Our life is so much limited to words that even to our most loved ones we need words to express no one understands more or less than that. We have forgotten to understand the unspoken and interpret the unheard.
If I could only interpret signals, there was so much joy filled in her that she did not take seconds to open up to a stranger, ask her the minute details which not even my close friends have ever asked. If you do not call it confidence than may be you could call it being bold in the ruthless world.
In midst of the all the noise if you seek peace, I wouldn’t suggest you to meet these kids but if you seek wisdom and a way out of confusion do meet them, May be they will give you a piece of mind.
May be you will realize that with so many words you still need to find a new dictionary to answer them, may be you will know what is life without words, how to communicate in a language unspoken and actions unrecognized.
I am speechless and lack words may be I need a reference too, to understand the different world of silence which exist within the world filled with noise.
