WHITE TERROR

White-the Divine hue
Light of peace
Aroma of a blossom
Oh!!!! The bright celestial sheen

A pristine touch of life
Blush of tranquil sky.
Grace of innocence
Nature’s flowing fence.
Aphrodite and doves
Chariots and billows.
Mermaids in sea-foam
Plunge in achromatic glow.

White-the Divine hue
Light of peace
Aroma of a blossom
Oh!!!! The bright celestial sheen

Dawn of twilight
Graying of night.
Hounds in the dark
Mortals aghast.
Mother’s holy veil
Naïve infant’s dream
Adieu: radiant reverie.
Lost- the Divine hue
Invisible peace
Aroma of fear
Oh!!!! Fading celestial sheen

Scarlet clots in the past
Mute crimson glow in dark.
Stillness of vicious shock
Corpses in each dock.
Shrieks, shouts and shadows
Weapons & their ruins in meadows
Pearly candescence in ashes.

Ominous- the Divine hue
Gruesome peace
Aroma of terror
Oh!! Dismembered celestial sheen

Faithless folks
Fatal fights.
Miming muse
Strident silence.
Lost lives
Rescued rights.
Doomed desires
Daffodil dreams.

In shock & fright
I in sleepless nights.
Body & Soul
Trembling & Crippled.
Killed Peace & Nurtured Terror
Fostered Maniacs & Divine Monsters.
This is our ruin & this is our Land
These are our meadows & our dying clan.
No religion & no caste exists
No Terror in Black & Red in this mist.

Liberty-the Divine hue
Cherished freedom
Aroma of bliss
Oh!! Novel celestial sheen

As India Celebrates the 63^rd Independence Day on 15 Aug 2009

The "D" Generation

Welcome to the world of The Young & The Restless.

I was exposed to the world of a modern Devdas through DEV D, Delhi Belly & LSD. All looked to be excellent movies which talked about the Urban Youth & their lives.

Not likely to be understood & loved by all, not even all of our D Generation. The Dev Ds living in the midst of Delhi belly practicing LSD are all Men & women of a new league. There are reasons however to be what they want to be. Nothing that they are ashamed of or are scared of. This is the reality. There is the fun in being what they choose to be.

It seems a common trend which sets right from late teens & continues till eternity unless choices & decisions & outlook change towards life. WHAT IS THIS TREND? WHO ARE THEY? AND WHAT DIFFERENT CHOICES HAVE THEY MADE?

This is the future of India which is making easy choices, opting for convenient lifestyles & avoiding the struggle in life because they are just not BOTHERED . Ones not baffled by ruthlessness of life.

Surprisingly, its not all that bad to be De Generated in life. There is something very admirable in being a mindless youth. Their WILL & CRISIS MANAGEMENT skills are extra ordinary. We see all path breakers discovering something different (for good or for bad).

We lose what is to be preserved, PEACE & TRANQUILITY. Of all the pros & cons, all the youth takes away is just simple joys. It leaves us at crossroads to crucial decisions. Life Changing & Life Threatening decisions. Of all the D Generation only those flourish who either use their WILL to Right places or ones whose Parents are resourceful enough to turn wrongs into right. Rest of all just manage being average & blaming their colorful past for a bland future.

After all, is it worth it?? YES INDEED. We are all on a journey to self discovery & understanding more than us- LIFE. Its a pity if you never lost your way, its a pity not to ever have seen a dead end & of course a pity if none came to rescue.

This is the fun of being young. This is the age to commit follies so that ages later we can laugh at being a part of the " D GENERATION" . Its good to be young ..is'nt it !!!!!!

Of all said and done, we do want to be sure we have interesting tales to tell the next De- generated lot.

P S - Only Follies are acceptable nothing more than that. :)

Hide & Seek with Delhi Winters

One of the best times to enjoy New Delhi is in Winters.
The fog, smog and early morning dew just makes me fall in love with Delhi all over again.


At night the chilly winds, the silent streets and bon-fire at various corners of small colonies makes me feel like am at an isolated hill station. The city looks inert and frozen and pleasently silent. A silence which is not threatening but re assuring. Small inroads engulfed by sheets of fog and hazy street lights add to the beauty of watching time go by in chilly nights.


In the hours of sleepy darkness, feeling the chilly winds & watching the misty stars shining doubles the zeal when I see a sunny day. The street dogs do not look mist struck at all!! They find refuge under the cars, basements where the monsters of mist can't reach them.
The undying spirit of Delhites to face cold & frosty winds with a smile shows their endurance .


The beautiful January mornings where Sunrays filter through layers of haze to reach the inhabitants spreads warmth around.I travel to Gurgaon for work, 100 Kms from home in these chilly mornings. Almost jammed hands and limbs do not feel numb when touched by Icy winds. Despite the chill, somehow I feel alive and ready to face the frosty weather which makes Delhi such a pleasent place to be.


The crack of dawn happens late at 7 am. While going to work , on a fine icy morning I was greeted by the most amazing patterns of Fog & Mist. The beauty with which clouds of smog-mist-fog swam on the roads and moved as co passengers in the autos, taxis, rickshaws, cars & pedestrians made us all EQUALS. I was swimming in clouds of mist without any practice. I was enthralled, it was heavenly to be surrounded by nature in a modern world. The visibility had dropped to less than a meter. It was an awesome morning and besides the inconvinience of invisible non functional traffic lights ,it was indeed a delight to travel that 100 kms.

The winter Hooligans would disguise themselves sometimes as a peacock or a doll or a bear or a cart and die on the windscreens of cars,buses and tiny eyelashes of an innocent beggar as DEW DROPS. I saw on that morning how Nature pleases us evryday we begin and brings a smile to our face. A Day in Delhi Winters prepared me to face all hardships with a smile and strengthened my belief that:

"Every cloud has a silver lining"

Even though the game of Hide and Seek will go on, with Hazy sunrays in cloudy days, in the night we will still witness a bright star shining at us in a misty chilly sleepy Delhi.
Lets enjoy Seeking the Hidden moments of joy and greet these frosty times with a warm cup of coffee.

Cheers.

What's So Happy about a New Year??

The journey of Transition of calender year from 2008-2009. The transition is always good coz of celebrations & festivities. 

What remains is a habit of still writing 06-01-08 instead of 2009 which is very irritating.

Memories of 2008 from happiness in personal & professional sphere to times of discord & sorrow.

From wants to broken dreams, from elusive love to moments of joy apparently by far the most enriching experiences have happened in year 2008. From cherished friendships to times of utter dissappointment. My clothes almost doubled in number and my diet shrunk in amount in the year gone by. The changes are indeed Visible ;) . The transition surely for good. 

Alot of Trials and Tribulations Version 2008, I see myslf as a better person. Am all set to face the system threats of Version 2009. We are like computers, from Abacus to Pentium 4, from bulky desktops to sleek laptops, We become better. Sadly our lives are an epitome of Convinience. In terms of friendships, love, religion, morals, work and lifestyle we are all about convinience. We are becoming weak and vulnerable prone to all virus (Mental & physical). We are falling prey to instability, bad lifestyle habits and resorting to wrong ways to achieve goals.

Competition worsens and so does the need to win & succeed at any cost. 

In 2008, I learnt many lessons & the struggle to survive-flourish has been fruitful. Though I saw no success, my take home did not increase as expected..I still feel I deserve more in life (like all mortals hahah) but am thankful that my Will to be better than my yester self, is intact. The imprtance of accomodating others & keeping life balanced is a very dear lesson which 2008 taught me .

An urge to be the best of myself with all the people good or bad. The year is happy coz I will make a fresh balance sheet minimizing liabilities of last year and doubling the assets of love-happiness and success. The resolutions I made were very simple: To be punctual & hardworking & to give each day my best.

There is a reason to be happy each day of each year because:

"You need to learn to be happy by nature, 

because you'll seldom have the chance to be happy by circumstance."

Have a rocking 2009.
