Beauty

What is beauty?
but just skin deep.
No one seems to realize this,
no one seems to believe.
Wars were raged,
many a battles fought.
For the fair skin maiden,
brave hearts have sought.

What about the unseen beauty,
that hides under a pale face.
Of the intelligent spark,
in ordinary black eyes?
What that of which is needed for a happy life,
that which is not seen by plain sight?

What of those hearts who truly love?
Are those to be left behind just to rot?
I see no sense in a love like this,
a love which reigns on beauty seen.
A love that cannot go beyond a point,
is this what love seeks and hopes to find?

Beauty is not on one's face, body or right
but within their heart, mind and might.
This simple truth goes unseen by us
we look at the skin and lose our heart thus.
Is it worth a thousand lives? Is it worth a million lies?
Is beauty of the face worthier than the heart?
or did someone leave out that part?

Anger, rage bring tears to my eyes
what people see in physical beauty I just cannot see, even if I try.
But still the world will go on
seeing beauty as it is.
Not stopping for a minute to see through it.
Physical beauty is skin deep,
yet no one believes nor wants wants to peep.

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

WHO DUN IT??

Long time ago when man lived in caves, they often wondered if it was by magic that the voice echoed in the darkness of the cold barren caves. Evolution, as the scientists say, started in these dark barren caves, where cave men evolved to become the more civilized human race. But still the mystery continued. The mystery of sound! Man continued to be bewildered by Nature. And this kept him busy. He tried to figure out ways to improve his life. Life as we know it today, owes its gratitude to many known and unknown faces. If it were not for people like James Clerk Maxwell or for Heinrich Hertz we would have never stopped being awe struck by sound. Ever since they figured out electromagnetic waves the world took another leap at technology. It was a small step for these scientists and a huge leap for Radio. Wireless communications helped bond boundaries and bring people closer. But confusion begins every time a teacher asks her student, “Who invented Radio?” The answer never surprises anybod

Can't Blame The Hormones!

Slam the door hard of their faces ! My head reels, the voice becomes louder and louder. Come on, do it. Slam the door . I resist the voice, my anger raising within me. I close my eyes, trying to think of something pleasant. I feel the anger abate slowly. Teenagers they say, feel surges of anger or any emotion strongly. They say that the Hormones that are at work during their age causes this to happen. They relate bad behaviour, eccentricity, bad sense of dressing and mostly everything they do, to this fact. In the seven years of my adolescent life, I have learnt that if you let your Hormones rule you, then you will never win your parents over. So I tried, real hard, to keep my strong overflowing emotions at bay. But no matter how hard I tried, they irrupted once in a while. Which was not so bad, considering that my peers let them run loose. Slowly, but steadily, I could control my out bursts of anger. That's when I realised I had it in me to control not only my emotions but my l
