Today is Our Independence Day. India’s Independence Day. 62 years back, this very day, we got our independence from the British. Yet we are still not really free. We are bound by Land, by territory. I am not so well versed with the politics, and country related stuff, but still a small crazy thought floats in my mind. Its like an idea, or just an answer.
What is land without people? Land is unimportant. Land is empty by itself. Its useless. Will Pakistan fight us for Thar Desert, which is a arid piece of land? I do not know, but i dont assume so. Still we fight over parts of Kashmir with Pakistan, parts of North East with China. Is it so important? Each country stakes its claims, but in the end its the people that matter. Each country X believes, the people in the controversial regions think they belong to the country X. That is why they fight, for the people. THEN WHY NOT LET PEOPLE DECIDE.

I stand here … In the Rain …
Solitude piercing me …
Is it raindrops or just my tears, wetting my face …
I have no idea …
There was a time …
When the sky was bright
There was a time …
When there was light …
An aura of expectation of what today had for me ?
but now all i see is darkness …

Lately I have tried to get a essence of spirituality as I feel it. One idea that was quite captivating was that of a glass or a cup. Spirituality for me has become like a cup with unlimited capacity. Whenever I do anything at all, from waking up in the morning to thinking some strange thought to having my dinner, I utilize some spiritual energy from this cup. Almost all the things use this Spiritual Energy. There is no upper limit on the energy you have in the cup, but you can definitely run out of it. You can make the cup empty.
Also the thing is, many of the things or events also add to this energy more than they utilize it. I prefer to call them positive contributors. They could be extremely small things, or they could be some life changing event. Anything at all. And the size or duration of the thing or the event is not at all related to the amount of energy they add. A simple but good cup of tea after a extremely stressful day could lift your spiritual level greatly. And yet taking a five star holiday might end up reducing your spiritual energy in the cup.

Inspite of all the things I see
A shroud, a kind of veil covers my eye
Yeah it all seems so happy, so true
Still I want to kiss it Goodbye
For through a slit inside the veil
The darkness does enter my sight
And so it travels from sight to should
And leaves behind a empty hole
Not just a hole, a black hole
and slowly the body and the mind collapses
Till you and me, have become one

It rained all day, and it rained more
Like it was the final night
The dams were almost struggling
To keep up with the water’s might
And the wind too howled
as if pricked in the heart
There was anguish, perhaps despair
The end wasn’t near, as was the start Read the rest of this entry »

This one was written just a few minutes back…( June 15th, 10:30PM)
Where are my Dreams lost?
Somewhere beyond the sky
Then why dont they come back to me
Perhaps because they cant fly!
Why are my Dreams lost?
For maybe I did not try
To transform them into a reality
Never giving them wings to fly

I just dont know, what led to this thought. But it was in my head, one fine morning!! And it has made its presence felt now and then. If rephrased, can any person do something, so critical, however small it maybe, that it can impact the world.
Imagine a situation in which perhaps Osama Bin Laden had been in life threatening situation. And someone saved him. If that person had not, we would not have had 9/11 possibly. The Iraq war also and god knows what all would have happened and not have happened. But this is kind of secondary example. Read the rest of this entry »

I found this quote on one of my friend’s profile, a long time back.. Just remembered it again!!
" A ship is safest at the sea-shore , but that is not what it is built for "
Sometimes a sentence can speak the whole wisdom of centuries preceding us , and this is one of them.

Havent felt like writing lately. Was reading down the memory lane. Found this. This one is one of my 1st writing when i was in Kota ( Rajasthan ), preparing for IIT entrance, around Sep 2004 i should guess.
Bundled up in endless joy
Trying to please you , god knows why
Trying to make up for what’s gone wrong
Trying to make this friendship strong
So give me another chance , a opportunity
To die without a regret would be a pity
To show what i feel for you
To let my emotions flow as they do

Well its been a long time. And it has been, kind of tough too. I just started work. Work, for the first time in my whole 20 years life. And to be really frank it has not been so good. I just expected it to be a cakewalk. After all, after PintOS and Networks and Compiler Labs what more harder things could there be. But i have been proved wrong. And in a thumping manner.
Initially, after getting here i was very tense about how i will manage. And i took some wrong decisions, which cost me mentally and financially. But right now, things have stabilised. I am living much better and peacefully. So more about work then. The first day, Read the rest of this entry »

Its one of the name that might remain in my memory for a long time to come. He is not my best friend or mentor. He is just a character from a book. A book i had intended to read as a novel, a work of fiction. But it turned out to give me some lessons in philosophy and morality that might be imprinted forever. The book was "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. And truly it was an awesome book. Every page of this really long book, was worth it.
The character of Mr. Howard Roark was such, as if, to him everyone else was invisible. He was a guy perfectly ( more like ideally ) confident and perhaps the biggest strength he had was of "indifference", of being indifferent to any and every thing. This may generally be considered to be cold. But then, to me, it felt more like he was one guy who wasn’t here to be someone, not here to get better than his neighbor. He was someone who wanted to create someone. To pursue his love, solely on his own, without any interference and without any bother. And he was not fighting in the rat race, so much the part of our world. Even hard circumstances wouldn’t force him to sway to a path, that was easier or something he did not love.

I was pretty bored and my mind was totally out of sync with me. So i just wrote all random thoughts floating around in my mind.
This was what i was able to get. It is a result of spontaneity, rather than want of perfection.
Inspire me, Enlighten me
Take me to that place where i may see
For now there is darkness, all around
Take me to that place where i can be
A feeling or maybe just a random thought
A single letter of an entire book
A moment in ever lasting eternity
From all my memory, that single look

2 roads in front of me
both unknown and unique
time to decide is upon me
But i have no answer
My eyes are closed
I can see through my emotions
But the cloud of uncertainty is thick
Where does it all lead, is it destiny?

Well the last week has been crushing and the next week seems to be even more so. This is after all the EXAM time, that point where all disasters seem to converge into a one week period. For those who have never opened the books or visited the classrooms, its like living an entire 2 months in a single week.
To add to this, the professors seem to find extreme pleasure in piling up the load just days before the finals. They seem to remember all the sundry exams that need to be taken, all the assignments that should be done, and all the reports that have to be submitted. All this, appears as if to be forgotten for most part of the semester, and suddenly appear like a giant baseball bat running after you to knock you down.

One of the most memorable part of watching Code Geass was this song. It just so happened that when the first season finished, I had a tune in my head of this song. But i could not point out where i heard it in all 25 episodes, and nor did i know the name of the song. So i like searched for it for 3 hours from 12-3 am until i finally found somewhere to listen it. I found out the name STORIES by HITOMI . Since this song, i have become a huge fan of Hitomi, and there is something about this music that takes me apart. Since then another 2 songs that have become my favorites are Masquerade from Code Geass, and Planetes ( from some other anime ).
I found the music of Planetes in a Youtube video, which had this song playing with the video of last 5 minutes of Code Geass R2. Suited so well, i thought it was from OST, but after much searching i did not find it. That’s when i looked elsewhere and finally found it to be from some other anime. You can check them out below:
