In deep contemplation

-
I saw You standing on the terrace next
Your back turned in deep contemplation.
They grabbed You almost, tried their best                
To encase You in sacks but instead they were.                                
You weren't there when I looked down
'midst them they were, You were not
Where did You go? I know You detest
Company that means the less of
You and more of the world.

You were there with me. Then why did You go?                
I'm left with this complaint and hence will always wonder              
whether at all I received the best in the dream of Your Form
dressed in white and then in orange facing down                                
staring, gazing, still in search, in deep contemplation.

Lines of rhythmic beauty

They were pearls round Mother Nature's neck.  The sky was gloomy as was my mood. It had been raining. I went outside not for the fun of it but just to give me a boost. At such times, you cannot but help being but yourself, because it's Mother Nature conspiring to take you by the collar. I am susceptible to cold and cough. But my spirit got the better of me and I decided to take myself out without an umbrella. I was being completely with myself. No phone calls, occasional smiles, the pitter- patter of the rain and then as I rested my heavy self on a slab, I looked up to see the beauty Mother Nature thankfully presented. A plant with drops of rain on the edge of its leaves. Nothing new to nature lovers. No, not even me. But there it was revealing itself to me-- my beauty. I was there just in time to get the glimpse. The fading light would not have allowed me to participate in full measure had I been late, or had I allowed my mind to continue being clouded. There they wer...

On Womanhood

My friend presently extolled the beauty of women in today’s Newsfeed in Facebook: Its so heart warming to see women deal with life's issues so boldly and overcome pain and difficulties with courage. Bold, energetic, fighting and extremely loving, these women stand out for their individuality. Their identity and happiness doesnt depend on career,money, physical appearance or the men(husband/son/father) in their lives.. but only on their high spirit to live and to love. Salute to them. God Bless! Ever since time has brought life into its manifold beauty, women have been held in high esteem. Be it Mother Mary or Goddess Durga, Rani LaxmiBai or Joan of Arc, women have since time immemorial, served as the right instruments of God's work.  It used to be a matriarchial society when men decided to change history and manipulate scriptures to bring things under their fold. The controversial Godman Sathya SaiBaba glorified women in their being parents and their role as the most imp...

Perfection- defined

Few people in this world are crazy. Not all. These are the people who do not crave for appreciation. No matter how much praise they receive they feel inadequate, not that enough praise has been showered on them, but, they feel they deserve less. However, clandestine is the feeling, they still are better off than those who do not receive any praise at all. It is this aspect that can easily make them gullible to those who are social and more fortunate than them. Be it in terms of better pelf and position, better societal disposition etc etc. It is this that attracts this category of these crazy people. Let me give them a name. Say CP (Crazy People). Now, the other category, say FS (Fortunate Socialites) gives CP's a chance to mold them in the fold of the present ‘gen’ mentality. (This category however do this out of choice and no to exploit a CP financially).They show their concern in more ways than one that easily brings CP’s to believe that FS are their true friends. Even lo...
