Voices from Within

Here is another experiment and a super failure!!

On 9 Feb'10,  I deleted all the previous posts to reset the blog.. I said to myself - a Fresh Start .. Brand new Life... Tabula-rasa.. The Big Bang.

An experiment at Ctrl+Z;
life-prompt> rm -rf / ;

Also to make a metaphorical point!! rather to myself!

I almost got away with this, until last week.

I was lazily looking at a silly email fwd, of an optical illusion.. And I didn't get it the first time. But, when I saw the answer, I saw it.. But, when I tried to see it again, it was so obvious, it was no more fun! - how did I miss that!

When you get to know something, see something - there is NO WAY you can un-learn un-see it.

Have you felt this? - When you listen to the same track the second time, it loses its magic. You don't feel the same emotions.

With everyone you meet,
with every step you take..
with every spoken word,
with every book read, every music track,
with every passing moment,

You change.. You change for ever!! You are never the same - ever again.!!

This expt was a crude attempt of denial;
a futile effort to re-model the reality;

When I discussed this with my super-mom, she quipped,
If you can have a clean slate everytime, whats the fun?

Oh yeah, before deleting, I took a xml-backup of the blog - to show my grand children. I thought they'd be amused at my poetic skills. All the prev posts shd be back shortly.

The Sun is home and shining again.. brighter than ever!

At times, life surprises you with an unexpected googly -  a lethal bouncer!!
It stuns you; Shakes you up; Makes you relook at life;
You panic! You're overcome by the mounting fear of taking guard ever again!

---
Biggest is the fear,
of losing someone dear!

You shudder at
the mere thought of walking alone,
in this world unknown;

crossing this desert-sand
without the helping-hand?

Hoping, the Sun lives on,
We all need the light to go-on!!

He argued logic,
She spoke science,
They weren't good in Chemistry anyway.

Hah!

This life is short,
the vanities of the world are transient..
says Vivekananda.

How very true..

We have all been slaves to the past,
either basking in the glory of the bygone days,
or dwelling painfully in the past hurts.

Either way you missout in the present.

Well, in this short journey, why would anyone wanna carry the extra e-baggage.

De-clutter your life.
Shed your skin; There is lot more in life to fill your wardrobe.
Go shopping!

Can't believe is been a year!

What if, I had over-slept the same day last year??

So, different it could have been
I wonder how'd be the otherside - Green?
perhaps unfazed by the cold-shiver,
had I not met the flowing river!
