Tabula Rasa

....................................................................................................

When I started scribbling this, I had no intention of making it public......cos to me blogging isnt my cup of tea or coffee either.....Actually this is a random raving, nothing more & nothing less.

'All men and women are connected by an energy which many people call love, but which is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built. This energy cannot be manipulated'...Paulo Coelho blogged today and this is what pushed me to pondering what was love all about.Love is nothing less than an enigma to me. the more I try to unravel the mystery, the more am I mystified.As my grey cells start ticking, I happen to recall a picture which had captured a small MB of my memory...

"LOVE IS THE ONLY ANSWER

LOVE TREES

LOVE ANIMALS"

                            UTTARANCHAL VAN VIBHAG

The word can be construed in many ways adding to the shrouds of mystification.It tends to turn us selfish at times and selfless at others.....watering our eyes with joy and sorrow.......soft & mushy sometimes as well as hard & insenstive some other times....Oh! What a paradoxical image!!!!!!!

People crave to be in love although they are aware that the journey of love might not be a smooth one, its an undulating motion story.....:)We still love knowing that the ones we love most would not be with us till the end and that would give us immense sadness at their absence.

The feeling of falling in love is a beautiful experience, my personal opinion though.I have had friends who vouched that the 'feeling of falling in love' is more beautiful than love itself for one discovers himself/herself better in that process.On a lighter note, how many times would one need to 'fall in love'for knowing the self completely?

When I say, I love dancing; I feel elated when I dance; I connect to the real me when I dance.......I feel I am out of the worldly worries holding me back.Honestly, DANCE is the only thing am confident of loving & mark my word...I'll love it till the end.......:)


Love is being happy when with someone/something - Well again, the selfish connotation of Love erupts....worries about one's own happiness.....


I will continue later.....

Devil Incarnate

Look there He is........
Twisting Ur thoughts and actions
Down on knees on one moment
Jumping on your head the other.....         

Yes or No is d seemingly easiest question
But is seems hard to decide when he's up to manipulation
Temptation,Lies and half-truths.......his fav. weapon?
Fear he builds in a victim's mind coupled with deception.......

He masquerades himself as 'an angel of light'...quoting the Corinthians

Is the same Iblis in Quran who imbibes pride and power in the minds......

Is he an adversary as the Hebrews say?

Engullfing the soul with insatiable desires and lust....The Gita's way

Tugging and towing the mind of a probable bait.......
Is that you............The devil's incarnate......?

D wilderness

M no Keats, Wordsworth or Longfellow
But I am finding words hard to swallow....
Clouds wandering at their own pace
Makes me stretch out my hands, touch them & feel my face......

The sun plays hide and seek
As the hills glisten and bleak
Pine & Cedars tall cover the earth
The rhodendrons swaying their heads add to the mirth......



The woods are dark,rocky is the terrain
As the bell tolls,from rambling I cant refrain.....
The epitaph read, 'He being dead yet speaketh'
Sent shivers to my spine, the sense I maketh...





Wilderness.....Oh My!How I want to be lost
Dont care a dime...Whats going to cost!!!!!!!

The Only Friend.....ME

Silliserh, Rajasthan

Man may come and Man may go,but I go on forever;
I do think some times am a fool & at times a bit clever;
I repeat the lines often to my ears & let the resonance sink in,
Some memories to stay on forever and some to go to the recycle bin.


Strange is the world & more strange are the worldly ties,
My lips curl to a smile wondering how time flies...
Gone are the days when Urs was the face I searched to feel familiar,
These days Urs is the same face I try to steer clear...
Where did I go wrong?
'Please forgive me' ...Is that the only song?

Vagator, Goa

The wounds inflicted are deep,
Even if I forgive you, forgetting would be a promise hard to keep.


Many a time has it happened with me,
The wringing pain that invades me as I imagine your devilish glee,
The ones I trust knock me down & hit me hard;
Makes me wish sometimes, I had wings to fly like a bird...


The thoughts torment me a lot,
And everything seems like a thickened plot;
Did you manipulate your true self?
If its so, you are no better than an elf;
One moment I feel am in abyss,
The other I am in my well created bliss;
No words to listen & no words to share about thee
Long time I realised THE ONLY FRIEND I HAVE ................IS ME!!!!!!!!!!!
