yearning

days have shrunk
nights, short

i move at a dizzying pace

TIME...somewhere
behind

tired ...
when was it last that i stopped...thought ...?

apocalypse !

hey blogger friends !

someone told me that our government plans to close down all 'blog' sites for security reasons....ofcourse i understand their stance but this is really bad news for me and i believe for most of you. I was thoroughly enjoying my stint at blogging. I posted whenever I managed to take some time out of my hectic schedule. I waited eagerly for some leisure so that I could get lost in this world of ours.....I looked forward to your comments. I explored other blogs. It was a great way to destress and I could connect to so many other people. I feel terribly depressed at the news... all of a sudden life seems dull...I will miss this intimate world...can we create an alternative private world for ourselves together...??

he believed...he conquered...

To think of being in New York one day and Paris the very next......! 'impossible' thought the common man living in the early 20th century...but 'why not' thought Charles Lindberg, a pilot who lived in the early twenties of that century and he set out from New York, one sunny day, towards Paris , with his plane 'The Spirit Of St. Louis',over the Atlantic......an adventurer......truly ! such was his will to do the impossible ! He was not the common man who would succumb to the human fears of the unknown and the perils of the journey.
To think of flying over the Atlantic all alone with only the intimidating expanse of water greeting the eyes sends a shiver down my spine...but ,this was what he did . Gliding through the deadly regions in air under tremendous physical strain ,Charles reached Paris after the seemingly unending thirty four hours. How difficult it had been to fly in the engulfing darkness of night under circumstances ill conducive to such feats in an age in its nascent stages of technological advancement..!
Yes ! Charles Lindberg was the first man in the history of human civilisation to be in New York on one day and in Paris the very next... ! Charles Lindberg --the man who believed he could change the world and revolutionise human thought - proved how man could take to air to overcome distance erstwhile unimaginable .It is because of people like him that we live in the dreams of our yesterday...

turning over the pages...

The Readers' Digest fills me with a new zest for living life every time i go through its pages. Quotidian banality and drudgery inevitably leaves one exasperated and drained of all enthusiasm and spirit. The urge to achieve the most in the least of time and the attempt to be successful in creating a niche for oneself in this materialistic world of today becomes a physical , and more importantly, an emotional exhaustion.Instead of living life in the true sense of the term, man merely manages a mechanical existence devoid of those precious little moments that make life beautiful and worth living.. he becomes blind to the colourful strands that weave together to form the delicate web of life. Going through the pages of the magazine, encountering different stories of remarkable feats accomplished by ordinary men with extra ordinary strength of mind, learning from their outlook towards living and being able to identify with the myriad human emotions that find expression in words lift my sagging spirits and infuse in me the much needed rejuvination and resurge of vigour to carry on with the journey of life afresh. The seemingly insignificant everyday human experiences often provide profound insight into the finer points of life.I realise living life to the fullest lies in loving life...

thoughts

thoughts are what we live with...how often did i think of putting them in words but seldom could i express what i felt inside. i seemed to revel in the overwhelming realisation life brought me...words failed me... today, as i write , i know so much of it remains unsaid ...but then can we ever render our thoughts perfectly into words ??

death

as i continue to live...
one incident after another takes over me
and leaves me
sometimes...
happy
or..
sad
at once,
surprised
stunned
may be
anxious
and
excited
often...
restless..
reflecting
there is one event i know will
bring
peace....
let it overtake me.
