And today morning, when I saw her smile
It felt like when I was first in love
As if time had reversed itself
And I stood there like that first time
Oh so long we have come
And at times the road seems dark
When the times are tough
And smiles uncertain
Yet all we need is some moments
Like today morning, when I saw you smile
And felt like when I was first in love

I dream of a future A future near the water
To wake up to the splashing sounds
And those beautiful eyes looking into mine
A soft sunlight streams into the room
Touching the soft flesh exposed
Is it the sunlight, or love divine
That caresses my hair right now

According to Oxford Dictionary, Selfishness is the quality of being Selfish. As per the same dictionary, a selfish person is concerned chiefly with one’s own personal profit or pleasure. Searching the same for Compassion shows is explained as sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. These do seem to be exact opposite. I always felt so too. But somewhere inside me there was this thought that the two can co-exist.
So can two opposite things exist together? They can. But then I wondered about how things in life seem circular or cyclic. If there are 2 things on 2 ends of a straight line and then you bend that line in a circle, they become the same thing. And when 2 ends meet, they become the whole. A circle represents the complete.

We the humans, you and me
We love to fight, love to kill
We kill for desire, for religion
For money and for revenge
We hate like its our birthright
We hate for love, hate for money
hate for vengeance and hate for purpose

I watched a documentary related to Ayn Rand a couple of days back. It sort of talked about how her prophecy is coming true. So what exactly did she prophesize? Well she said that if the government starts regulating and starts becoming a socialist state, that would cause the civilization to eventually be ruined. She said that the moral code of man helping his brother at his own expense can never lead to a fruitful result. She said the moral code of “I must work harder to take care of not just me but everyone else in the society just because I am more intelligent then them” would eventually lead to a stagnant and dead world.

Say my name again, speak up
Scream like I do, speak up!
Why have you fallen through
to the other side where it’s dark
Look at these tear drops
Running down my eyes
Falling onto your cheeks
Wont you still not speak Read the rest of this entry »
Its a long day
I’ve been up for long.
Have been running all along.
And now its starting to show
Been running to home, Yet
Cant find it where I left
Its empty and cold every time
I open the door
To leave behind that moment
Of life, and find death
To leave behind that light
of life, and find darkness
To leave behind that taste
of life, and find bitterness
So many things that I left behind
Risking it all for what I already had
And now that I stand here
No risk and nothing left
Whats the reason to walk on
When the path just leads in circles
Whats the reason to see
When all is covered in grey
For some reason I couldnt find anything to write after this
Behind those mountains
Among the woods
There lies a path
The path less trodden
Many have tried
to walk its steps
Yet eventually
It leads them to another
destination

Lost in time again
My words are fading out
Moments old already
The meaning getting lost
And what they mean to me
No one else can ever know
And how it turns out
Is what I am trying to find out

I wrote this about a year back and found it recently under some old uncatalogued text files. I still wonder why I never came to put it up.
Its night, a decent one at that
And i am sitting by the water
There’s a shadow under my feet
And its shining bright tonight
There’s a reflection that bubbles up
And slowly dies away
Just when i try to catch it
Playfully it withers from me

I have been thinking about Cosmic Consciousness a lot lately. I first came across the idea in its simplest form in one of the books by Isaac Asimov. The book was called Foundation’s Edge and it described a planet called Gaia . The special bit about the planet was that it was a collective consciousness. Each living thing on the planet was a part of the same consciousness and hence we could term the planet a single huge conscious entity.
Coming back to my thoughts, I looked at the human history. From living in bunches far apart and not knowing who is where, doing what even a few miles away to this moment where we can in-essence trace any living being and many non-living beings in a matter of microseconds. Information is now available to us across thousands of miles within a few seconds. Communication is the driver of our evolution. Every day technology is helping us communicate faster and better.

I feel like telling a story. A story that raises questions on our society.
Once upon a time in a long far away there lived a boy. Not much is known about his past except that he was raised a rich kids with his own luxuries, his unwillingness to work and wanting much. As he grew up all around him grew distant because we all need someone to talk to and he was shy and quiet. With time he started feeling as if he is the most lonely soul in the world.
Similarly once upon a time there was a little girl who was raised like a princess. She had dreams, desires and ambitions. She loved to dress, talk, dance and meet people. Somehow as destiny rolls out life it has its own plans and this simple cheerful bubbly girl was transformed into another lonely quiet soul who felt unwanted by the series of relationships she went through. At the end of each one, she was made to feel the wrong person, the unwanted one. And so her life went on.

They talk about a pyramid wrt to Psychology. A pyramid of needs and desires. Each level has to be fulfilled before we start comprehending the next. Most of us never realize that.
Most of us are born on one level and die at the same level. But then some of us are able to go either up or down the pyramid of needs. I cant comment if up is good or down is bad. It just is in a way.

I was talking to a friend today. We were discussing sex, which is the most common topic in a guys conversation. And like most of the other days we were trying to decode sex.
So around the same I was thinking about 3 things and instinctively they felt different. Sex, Fucking and Making love. I believe there’s another aspect to intercourse but I do not really have a name for it.

Well I just decided to try out something fun in life. I have random thoughts, wildly fluctuating like my mood. And in this mess, sometimes i end up writing meaningful stuff. I feel like sharing it with everyone sometimes, and so this Blog was a side-effect of it.
Professionally I am a software engineer. In another life I would like to be a writer. Currently I work for Amazon.com which helps promote laziness by letting you spend more time thinking and less time shopping.
