A life anew

the stars abound,
filling the sky.
twinkling away,
i wonder why.

what is our significance?
what is our aim?

crying over losses,

are we frail?

The rain pounding along,
along with some hail.

I wonder at the sadness,
why do we have to endure?

I wonder at the happiness,
why cant life forever?

Here I lie,
wondering through.

slowly to life,
bidding adieu.

The Rise

' Ae babu, aur kitna time lagega ?' shouted the waiter, asking him how much time will it take? It was almost 8pm and the Irani cafe was about to close. Robert was sitting and staring at the tea for way too long now. The fan made its slow creaky noise and the yellow mildly-dim lights added to the ambience. Coming to Bombay was one of his best decisions so far, he fell in love with the city the moment he saw it. The loud noise, the rush, the old ambience of the British era buildings, his favourite Irani Cafe and a lot of other things. Two months seemed like a lifetime for him and he was enjoying every moment, one of the reasons being that he spent most of his life in a small town in England, far from the busy city life. 'Bas do minute!' , he shouted back indicating that he shall leave in a couple of minutes. He quickly gulped down his tea, took his mawa cake and left for his house. Robert had taken up an internship at an NGO in Bombay. He had just graduated in Econom...

Talent vs Strategy

If you can strive, bear the pain. You shall succeed, get your gain. If you jump high, you may fall. but in the end dear, ye shall stand tall. Be the flow, of the water. Gentle and sweet, though cutting rocks. Be the arrow of the archer, tearing through the wind loud. Be the beat of the marcher, head up, held high proud. If you can get through emotions, and if you can look beyond. Ye shall see a life so wonderful, the rising tiger would have dawned. It is but far, the shining star. It is but hard, you shall get scarred. Fear not, Strive on. Get up, get going. cast ur spells, use the holy elder wand. Not a day to rest, constant hustle. Go ahead, lift, strain your muscles. Always remember! the golden rule. The law of success, it is the fuel. Followed by his excellency, and all beings majesty. Strategy can compensate talent, talent can never compensate strategy.

The Question, the answer...

Heavenly Father,  What did You think?  What did You perceive?  The silence foregone?  Starlight peeking!  I gaze up at the Heavens,  wonder at Thy creation! I gaze inside,  wonder of Thy restrictions!  All quest; All die.  All strive; All fail.  One simple truth,  Clear as the dew,  Cool as the glacier.  He is me, and I am Him.  You are me, and I am You.  Separated by realms,  one for Eternity.  Love--the question.  Love--the answer.
