Evolved Creature of Earth!

Huge metallic birds in the Cobalt skies,
fly around with out fear.
The grey buildings of cement,
stand high like proud soldiers.
The sound of the city,
honking and screeching,
make up the world we live in.
A cold scary world,
barren of warm golden sunsets,
or the music of the wild,
or the pride of the trees,
or the promise of a better tomorrow!
We are instruments, that can change anything
or destroy everything.
"Man", we say, "an evolved species".
Evolved? I wonder.
'Creator of Science!'
'In the name of Science!'
Alas, we need no further explaination,
on this path of destruction!
The trees lose their pride,
the tides come high!
The Sun shines brightly
through the Ozone less skies!
One by one,
the magical creatures disappear!
And agian I wonder, Man an evolved species?
The Earth is sucked of its Life.
Is the Man dumb, deaf or blind?
Can't he see the mother die?
Or can't he hear her cry?
Still he stays mum,
as if without a choice,
and lets the metal birds soar the skies!
As the cement gaints cast their shadows on life,
the air begins to bear the stench of Death.
Oh Evolved creatures, I pray, let not the mother die!

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

ILLUSION

Everything is an illusion. Life, Love and our Being. Love starts with a spark, an goes up in smoke. Soon Life follows the suit of hearts. We believe because we have to live. But a belief is also like a dream. We wake up to the sunrise. Only to see it fade into the dusk. We hope for a better tomorrow in the darkness of our sleep's night. Only to see it melt into the engulfing light. But we never give up this illusion. Because we have to survive this ordeal. Then what is this illusion that engulfs our being? Is it a future based on the trust on the supreme, or a past built on the dust of a dream? We dream because we need relief. Relief from all that is unreal. But we finally surrender to a surreal feeling. And we give in to the illusion of Life, Love and our Being.

It Happens Only Once?

I have touched love, tasted it, felt it, sensed it, and felt alive with it! Love has done the same to me too. Its funny, I have had many people ask me, what is Love? How do you know that it is Love? I wish I could tell them, there is nothing else, but Love! But then I know they would look at me with a weird look in their eyes which says, I have heard many stupid answers before, but this is an original. Disappointed, I resign and explain, like I would to a child, what love feels like. India is a place, dominated by a crazy culture called 'Bollywood'. Its amazing to see the impact it has on one and all. If anyone should ask me, what rules India, I would like the answer to be Bollywood. Life, including politics, takes inspiration from this Industry. Then why shouldn't Love? Imagine the dreamy eyed Shahrukh Khan on a basketball field, looking love struck and telling the kid, Pyaar sirf ek baar hota hai. The impact this dialogue had on the audience was phenomenal! I can't se...
