Red Earth,Blue Skies,Falling Rain,White Lies

Red earth,blue skies,falling rain,white lies-
How can I tell you how much my heart cries
At this realisation of absolute betrayal
When I realise that your heart is so bestial,
When I realise that you are not an angel,
My life has turned into an absolute hell
Where I have to drink these pangs of pain
Of a heart so ruthlessly slain.
How could you be so untrue?
Why have you drained my life of its hue
That I can no longer identify
myself to this mystic beauty,as I so used to?
This red earth,the blue skies
Which caused me a thousand sighs
Have lost their purport,their relevance
Leaving me alone in a trance-
Alone in a world where my fancies and my dreams
Have been drowned in a deluge of screams
Of a heart so impaled and broken
Leaving me these memories as a token-
Memories of the red earth,of the blue skies,
Memories impaled by white lies.
These vast skies,so bright and blue
Spoke of your eyes,full of love so true.
This fresh earth,so soft and red,
Spoke of my love,so seeming yet unsaid.
Oh,those were the days in seventh heaven
When my life and my soul were driven
By the love so fresh and pure
But your love was nothing but a lure
To entice me into your overtures?
What do you know how I felt when my wish
Of spending our lives forever in this eternal bliss
Was shattered in that dark stormy night
When you saw me soaked in the rain
And my dissuations went in vain
When you let out your lecherous intentions in the open
Now I stand on the crossroads,battered
With my heart absolutely shattered
Over the fact that for you nothing else mattered
But my body and my virginity
That you tore away my dignity?
Ah,you are just like the other guys
Who entice girls with rigmarole of lies
Now my heart stands dead,it has turned stone
And your lies chill me to the very bone.
But,no matter how much I try in vain
To forget that love,shattered my the falling rain,
I cannot do,for my love is true
And come what may,I cannot stop loving you.
I just hope that one day you may realise
How much I love you
And give my love its proper due....

What Classic Movie Are You?

Mr.Smith goes to washington??What movie on earth is that??Never heard of this classic!

THE RAVEN

I was pacing by the seashore,
Blissfully oblivious to the roar
Of waves and of the wind
Because the things foremost in my mind
Was the urge to take a mode
Of transport to my humble abode.
While I was engrossed in my muses,
I was startled by a 'caw!'
Woken up,I looked behind and saw-
A raven,slender and tall,
Was sitting on the edge of a wall,
All the time looking furtively here and there,
Ready,if provoked,to fly away somewhere.
Sleek and black,she was a symbol of grace,
And looked as if escaped from divine embrace,
For though black,she was a true beauty,
And her simple ways simply enchanted me.
Her bubbly play helped me forget my sorrow,
And forget the trials and travails of the morrow.
Suddenly,as if by instinct,she flew away
And then,I realised to my dismay,
That it was almost an eternity
Since I enjoyed a bird's beauty
Or appreciated nature's magnanimity.
Only then was I aware of the waves roaring,
Of the breeze gushing and the birds soaring.
Ironically,instead of starting to wonder
At this sight,my heart began to ponder
"The waves are no longer a mascot of nature divine
Whose magnificience has withstood the test of time,
They are,instead for me,only an equation of strength,
Consisting of frequency,waveheight and wavelength.
These beaches,for you maybe,are a gem of nature,
For me,these are only a geological feature.
These sands,for you,depict nature's divine state,
For me ,these are only flecks of silicate.
The grace of those birds flying yonder
No longer fills me with childlike wonder
Because for me they are only equations
Of aerodynamics and aerofoil motions.
This blue sky,touching at the horizon,
Radiant and golden by the setting sun,
Remind me of the purehearted kid I was once,
And mock at the ruthless adult I have become since.
Who am I?What is happening to me?
Why was I destined to end where I never wanted to be?
What is it in me that's amiss
That I cannot drown myself in this bliss?
I have become a machine-
A mean-minded,hard-hearted machine-
Sans any emotion,sans any passion,
Sans any joys,sorrows or compassion.
I have got sucked into this world of materialism
Where money,success,knowledge and power
Rule under the garb of professionalism
Hand in glove with ruthless capitalism-
A world where,to win,you have to fight,
A world where you have lost the right
To love or be loved,to laugh or to cry,
Where you are denied the unbridled bounds of joy-
Joy at the simple sweet things of life,
Wonder at the ethereal greatness of the nature,
But crushed under the burden of internal strife,
And the responsibilities,from which you cannot hide,
You are forced not to break your stride,
Till,exhausted,you collapse by the wayside.
How I wish I were in a trance,
Surrounded by the whorls of mystic exuberance,
The waves of the beauty of the nature,
Will once again waft by and enrapture,
My heart,and rereveal the stature
Of my Father,cleansing my soul
And reminding me as a whole
Of those days of childlike innocence.

How I wish I were a child again!"

INDEPENDENCE

Now we r on the eve of our 58th independence day.Again comes that time of the year when we have nostalgia abt our past,about how great our country is,and how proud we feel to be its sons.Again that time comes when we feel lucky that we are independent and have freedom.But at such a juncture a question pops up:what does independence mean?And whatdoes freedom mean?

Oxford advanced learner's dictionary definition of independence and freedom is interesting.According to it,independence means not being dependent on;not being controlled.Freedom is defined as not being a slave;able to move wherever you want.If we inspect the dictionary definitons we will realise that neither we are independent nor we are free.For since birth we r dependent on one person or another;on our parents,on our loved ones and on our society because man,by nature is a social animal.So knowingly or unknowingly we are controlled;by the invisible strands of love friendship and even by the knowledge that we can never take care of ourselves alone.as for freedom,we know we r slave to some thing or the other.We may be slave to some addiction;we r slave to comfort;we may be slave to our dreams,our ideals;we may be slave to our emotions.But the underlying fact remains that we r slaves n we cant escape from that.The definition that freedom means moving from one place to another doesnt help either.For we know as child we had to go to school;as adults we have to go to work.We cannot escape from that even if we want to.So while we are gloating that we are independent we are not really So.while it may be said that we r independent because we are a democracy and have the right to elect members to the parliament what difference does it make?For we still pay taxes,we still are ruled by an ignorant bunch of duffers,we still have to follow the government rules of how to cross the roads et al,the government still has got a power to curtail our freedom citing security.We are not free from foreign rule either.for in today's world of internet it is impossible that you can be independent of foreign influence.You are slave to designer labels to books of JK rowling to Toyota cars and all that.So what makes us say that we are independent?


Is there something that really makes a difference to our lives post-british that denotes we are independent?In other words under the constraints of subtle dependence what makes us say that we are independent?The difference is "choice".Jk Rowling says in Harry Potter-'it is not our ability that determines what we are,it is our choices'.In the matrix trilogy also it has been shown what a profound effect choice can make.So the ability to make a choice is the most subtle yet most profound of all human characteristics and thats what makes us the supreme being.So true freedom lies in the freedom to make a choice-or not make a choice if u want.you may be given a constrained list of choice which u cannot avoid,but if within it u have the freedom to choose from u can call urself independent.And so as we celebrate our independence day we can truly call independent because we have that right to make a choice.So lets savour our freedom and rejoice our independence!

personality and tests

What Famous Leader Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com

Today i gave 2 tests:one test was to decide what sort of harry potter personality was i,the second test was to determine what world famous personality did i resemble.the result of both the tests were beyond the expectations:in the first test i expected that my personality to be similar to Albus Dumbledore,whereas the result came as that i resembled hermione granger.I guess the test put me in Granger's category due to my academic achievements in school and my love for rules.though the result was not bad,still then i was disappointed as i always thought that i wud make a good Dumbledore.But it was the second test that really stumped me.Regarding the world personality that i resembled,it showed that i resembled no other than-believe it or not-Bill Clinton!Now this is too far.For clinton n me are poles apart-he is dashing,extrovert n charming leader,whereas i m shy,introvert nor do i have the sort of charm that he had.moreover,i can never have the guts n gumption nor can i even think of having the sort of lecherous escapades that he used to indulge in-yes the second test was hogwash.so it brings the age old question to the fore:how reliable are the tests?can himan intelligence,human emotions or human personality be really measured on a numerical barometer?human psyche is a very complex and multilayered;to measure it using a few questions is impossible>it is a sheer waste of time n energy trying to find out whom u resemble;why dont u remain happy with what u are n what u have?why dont u create ur own legacy instead of trying to compare with someone else's legacy?
