REVERIE...



We will chase the sunset like the birds so free
Float through the waters and its journey.

We will glide through the sweet smelling meadows
Hide beneath the trees and their shadows.

Lie on the grass, watch the stars fall down on us
Dance to the wind and its whispers.

With the sand at our feet
The wind in our hair
The waves in our hearts
And you by my side
Now and forever…

~ Getting married on the 4th of Nov'07.. I simply can't stop smiling. :))))))) ~

"In search of My Lost Mind…"



I had lost my mind to ostentation a long time ago.
I finally found it,
Buried underneath my quest to conform to the standards of an insane world.
But I found it too late.
For as I looked at it, I realised that I recognized it no more.
So I carried on...
In search of my lost mind…


~Inspired by the following words on a friend's blog...

"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."
- Mark Twain

The Invincible Spirit


How incredible the power of valour
That in the battle field of a lonely arid desert
Could strive a Cactus adorning its prickly cover.

How astounding the power of the heart
That from the malignant thorns of pain
Could blossom a Rose as beautiful as art.

FOOTPRINTS...

I strove to leave my footprints in all the paths I had trodden
Only to realise that it is the path that had left its footprint on me.

I took for granted my shadow that I had dragged along with me all this while
Only to discover a trembling self find solace in the shadows that I had given birth to.

I searched for a glimpse of me in the image in the mirror
Only to find it peering back at me with unrecognizing eyes, in a quest for itself.

I watched in awe the shadows dancing to the tune of its fire
Only to wonder if the origin of light is darkness itself.

I wanted to leave my footprints in all the paths trodden
But sometimes it's beautiful to let the path leave it's footprints on my heart
Never to be washed away by the waves of time.

TAG: To My Blog... With Luv...

This Tag is courtesy one Meesha Mathaichan...

1. Are you happy/ satisfied with your blog, with its content and look? Does your family know about your blog?

I am more than satisfied with my blog. And.. No.. My parents don’t know of my blog. They are not very internet savvy. I don’t think they would even know what a blog is. My father only recently learned how to send sms’, but I forgot to teach him how to enter a space. So for quite some time he used to lavishly send sms’ to people without any punctuation or spaces between the words thinking that is how it is supposed to be sent ~laughs~. They know I write though. One day I’ll print all my stories and gift it to them in the form of a book. They would like that.. :)

2. Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?

This blog is a reflection of me, an expression of my innermost thoughts and beliefs and that’s certainly not something I am ashamed of.

3. Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?

Hmmm… Well, blogs have not exactly brought about any changes in me. But they did reinforce what I believed in. They exposed me to a million different perspectives of people belonging to different cultures, social background and circumstances. I got to know about the life of a transvestite who is still craving to be seen by others as she is… About a woman who had to stand at her own feet even as a child… About another woman having to fight cancer each day without knowing how long she would live... Now that I think about it, I don’t think I have changed as such, but it has definitely made me grow in many aspects that I didn’t even realize.

4. Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?

Oh! I always like exploring the world around me. You never know what you may find…

5. What does visitors counter mean to you? Do you care about putting it in your blog?

Not a thing now… It did mean something when I started the blog to be honest. Or at least I thought it did. Now I don’t even look at it. Because I know I don’t write for another soul except myself. Oh, that reminds, I have to remove the ticker off my blog…

6. Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?

Not really… I don’t try to visualize how they would look physically. But I do have a mental picture of the kind of people I think they are sketched in my mind. I think a person’s writings reveal a lot about the person even without the writer intending to do so.

7. Admit. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?

Does everything we do necessarily HAVE to have a tangible benefit??? I am sure everyone has their own reasons for blogging. Some may do it to display their talents, while others use blog as a journal to jot down day-to-day events, which in turn becomes a reservoir of memories to be savored years from now. Many have created a blog only so that they can comment on others blogs. And most of the bloggers are in this space purely for time-pass. ~smiles~

8. Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?

The “bloggers society” consists of people who are very much part of the real world and affected by the events happening around them. (What a stupid question..!! ;)))

9. Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it’s a normal thing?

Oh, I looooooooove criticism… As long as I am the one giving it.. ;)))))). Ok, jokes apart… I think a person would get affect by criticism only if one doesn’t know about oneself and isn’t confident about oneself. When one is faced with criticism one has to know what to take as constructive feedback and what to IGNOOOORE!!!! Having said that, people have a right to their opinions and that needs to be respected.

10. Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them?

Not at all…. Politics is very much part of the world that we live in, whether we like it or not…

13. Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?

Oh, that was the first thing that I thought about when I started this blog. I wonder if people would know if I am dead... I wonder iof they would still come back to see if I have posted something... And I imagine the worst when people don’t post for a long time…

14. What do you like to hear? What’s the song you might like to put a link to in your blog?

MEMORIES - Sung by Elvis Presley

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories...
Sweet memories...

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilights trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you...

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories...memories...

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilights trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories...memories...

SILENCE...


Sometimes silence can be the biggest of all crimes ever...
