Wish

I proclaimed myself as God
I decided to win the world
I always convinced myself for something,
That was never there
I tried to be as dense as Jungle,
I aspired to be as vast as ocean,
I deluded myself with real mirage,
Today I am standing at the peak of the mountain,
I can see all around me, the vastness,
I can see the void of valley,
I can experience the loneliness of mountains.
I am standing on the glacier,waiting for it to melt,
I will flow with stone cold water,
There will be movement without effort,
I will go with gravity along the river,
I have a desire to loose my sweetness,
I am waiting to be saline.
I am waiting to converge.
Let there be dams,let there be scorching heat,
I will evaporate; I will drift,
I will condense; I will fall
In the end I will be back again,
Here, here only....

Travelogue

I came….
At times things you crave for are like fizzles
At times some dreams are good only in sleep
Sometimes places you want to see are without light
I was excited….
At times you remember someone you hardly know,
At times you miss things you hardly ever loved,
At times you preserve things that evaporated long ago
I am leaving……
Sometimes pain may not be so painful,
Sometimes memories may not be so memorable,
Sometimes desire may not be so desirable,
I am relieved……

Journey

They always said - life is like this, life is like that
Everyone tried to define counters to make the silhouette more visible
Alas! The more they tried the more blurred it became.
Present never imitated past, future never had a prototype
It can never be many-one function, it could only be one to one function
Still...His life was this, Her life was that, and thus goes yours...
First I thought it was an unknown blunder, committed due to deliberate ignorance
Later I discovered it was the true order of the world - known delusion.
They do everything without considering the Given Condition,
The Given Condition is so much taken that they stop factoring in
They assume the Given Condition is in numerator and denominator, implies redundancy
and thus lies the misery - the equations are non factor-able and non linear.
By the time they discover this unique equation of life ,
The relevance of discovery is killed - remember can only be one to one function.
Now can you see the paradox,
Define the silhouette as non definable - but isn't it non definable!

I Stil Remember

Tired body, exhausted mind, yet no shelter in scene
Few spirited souls and so we kept climbing
No distraction, no disturbance, I remember the voice of air
It was so clear, straight through the ears deep inside the brain
We never had thought - what a soothing sound
Up there amidst the clods, One can talk to oneself,
we learnt how to talk to one's soul - it was so clear and coherent.
We had no purpose and no goal to achieve,
We were climbing, just climbing, nowhere to reach
I remember the pain, bodily pain, sweet bodily pain.
Nothing to prove, nothing to achieve,
It was like those endless journey - had read only in books.
Every meal tasted so good, I still remember
Never again a food tasted so good, never again we could eat so much.
No one questioned, no one advised,
Whoever met climed few miles together.
No constrain of time and no hurry to reach,
Never explored any shortcut - every path was the right path.
No fear of getting lost, no qualm of remembering the way
Everytime we moved ahead, everytime we found a way.
I still remember....

My idea

when people try be cynical, the best way to reply is to talk fundamentals..
not to prove counter argument but to remind the basics...

Loved Labyrinth – An Axiom

Loved Labyrinth – An Axiom

You always despised it, never thought of doing it,
You called it a trap, loved labyrinth of steps - chaotic yet orderly and in sequence
You laughed at people, at times sniggered at them – deriving pleasure in the maze
They called it an inevitable, inescapable destiny- natural progression of a common man; an inalienable axiom
You differed not with the axiom but with the application – it applied to an average man not a common man
This is what you always believed – pious faith, yes it was.
But alas! You don’t decide what you do – “the coded axiom”
You never realized when you had entered the maze,
By the time, you deciphered the code, you were there.
Flavors had taken precedence over substance.
Midway, you understood the essence of the puzzle – “loved labyrinth of steps”
This maze is different; here you don’t get lost till long, so long,
You don’t hit a dead-end; every end has some new openings,
Every passage looks logical progression from the last one.
Innumerable footsteps from your predecessors as well as co-travelers make you believe – you are on the “Right Path”.
By the time you would reach the dead-end, you would have lost the energy and enthusiasm to brood over;
Many take the last wall as the ultimate destiny – a pre decided act,
Some repent and remorse, few dare to return to clear the footsteps – an act of misgivings!

Ultra Short Stories

THE ONLY WAY
He was there, in the middle of the jungle, amidst the infinite darkness and that torrential rain. It was really bone crushing. He was using the light of the intermittent lightning to find a way, the only way! Neurons were at their best. He was moving, yes he could. There he could see the hope in that terrifying lightning. He moved..there was this light..sparkling eyes…neurons were at best..it was so near..so much light..and suddenly it was all over. The hopelessly hopeful lightning had fallen. He was there in the middle of that terrifying jungle calm, quite..no hope.

ORGY
He came, he stayed and he left. He just couldn’t notice it!
