silence speaks

hmm...

2009-08-25T22:14:00.000-07:00

I guess i found a correlation !!

& yes thanks to a chat with someone ..I came up with this impromptu definition of Hmm...

hmm means thinking ....

it means absence of words....

it means giving weight to silence ....

it means saying something while keeping your opinion veiled...

its a way to smile softly....

its called hmming !

Disillusioned one speaks...

Strange how one can live an entire lifetime in illusion. Illusion of belief. Illusion of self. Illusion of relationships. Illusion of the entire existence.
And yet when the mist of illusion gives way to the dazzling light of reality we are too dazed to believe that sunshine has shone upon us. The hangover then leads to shocking revelation unacceptable by the disillusioned psyche.

If emotions are like colors then Relationships are like paintings where we fill right colors at the right place and get a masterpiece !

{ whosoever reads this : don't even dare to ask why i have written this ....or condemn it by saying it doesn rhyme well ; i just had to write something after painfully long time ...so take it as it is }

i try to stay calm
i try to stay happy
nothing satisfies my sorrow
nothing saves my soul

i laugh ....& i laugh until there's no scope to cry

i cry ....& cry & still i cry

happiness is lapidated
prosperity is dilapidated
life is unsuited
love is uncomprehended
& i ?
i am thankfully disenchanted

i hate this brain
this brain that becomes a curse
i hate being my own enemy

hope i am dead & ready to be born
face this world head strong

a chuckle ... a cackle ...& a tear to end it all ...

Creation

2007-12-03T01:50:00.000-08:00

I banged against a video on you tube recently which silently speaks to heart, mind & soul of the viewer summing up the following totality :

Imagination
+ Visualization
+ Formation
+ Transformation
+ Infusing life
-------------
CREATION
--------------
felt like sharing it with people who like to fritter away time by going through "n" number of blogs in free ( mostly not free also ) time.

NO WORDS .......JUST WATCH it, FEEL it & SMILE IN DEEP AFFIRMATION ! :)

into the real world --- ...---...

2007-07-19T08:19:00.000-07:00

FINALLY ........!!!
Here's a random thought that i had written a while ago but couldn't get a chance to fair it up .Doing that bit for the sake of putting something on this barren blog .So here it goes ...

The intellectuals seem to be living in two contrasting worlds broadly ;
One in which they perceive the outer world as it comes & act (un)wisely accordingly .
The other materialistically non existent yet grandiosely visionary .
An undeclared , deeply understood , subtle yet vehement WAR of Ideas & idealism is perennially on , sheathed under the veil of dreamy eyes .
People vying for ' That ' ultimate unworldly recognition which would give them the title of one of those " elite class " is No average man's play indeed .

can't think of anything else to write ahead hence will conclude this tiny write up with " ....... " :)

Modesty Ablaze ..........!!!

2007-07-18T09:07:00.000-07:00

Modesty : The quality of being humble ...

Considering the experiences that i let myself have for the past few days i couldn't help but sit to ponder over this sensitive word... so lightly said yet so hardly handled .

There seems to be a finely drawn delicate line between being courteous out of modesty & courteous out of self appraisal .
Going through the latter experience .......yes indeed at times you can't help but get carried away knowingly . In this case probably using the term carried away is not justified , its more so like yielding to the enticing admirations in the most elegant manner & stepping into the second category with panache .
Yes ...it does become scaringly difficult to come back to your original self when the integrity of modest soul is challenged while you indifferently evade its writhing after bashing it up with "unwise" reactions .
There's ought to be a perfect harmony between heart & mind and by saying all this i don't mean to give a lecture on spirituality or personality development or even self introspection for that matter ( although its the usual product of writer's fit thing & you are already experiencing the torture of going through this for past few seconds [:p]......)

what needs to be clearly expressed here is that deep down inside ' Heart Speaks under the veil of silence '...speaks meekly yet strongly .
This statement ( yes, you might be thinking this girl is practicing plagiarism by being inspired from coehlo's work , but then read on ...) comes out of utter urge to let out deeply suppressed feelings with beautiful reasoning for pretentious actions .

So people don't set your modesty ablaze ,
preserve it
pamper it
if looked after , its your best embellishment
if ignored , its your deepest resentment...

The Clandestine Radicals

2007-06-17T06:40:00.000-07:00

The first impression that the reader might develop after she/he reaches the end of the post would be "this girl is a crazy psychoanalyst on the verge of being admitted to a mental asylum " & i assure you your unmistakable judgment .
Anyways go on reading...

Have you ever felt wanting for more & more knowledge but the only roadblock is the daunting task of reading between those two flaps of the fascinating yet choking thing called books ?
Have you ever slept (literally) after reading the first two lines of a book you really wanted to read ?
Have you ever felt unworldly dignified enmity for your course material ?
Have you ever felt what's gone wrong with you when the terrifying sight of entire species of student community busy devouring books before exams doesn't stir you ?

IF the answer to even one of the aforesaid questions is a " yes " then ' Congratulations ! '; you have been diagnosed with and given the august title of THE CLANDESTINE RADICALS dwelling in their esoteric reclusion .
Broadly speaking the guild of students can be classified into 3 basic types , namely :
1.MAGGU'S
2.LESSER MAGGU'S
3.NON-MAGGU'S

MAGGU'S :They sit on the front seat of the center most row. They note down each & every punctuation mark in the prof 's lecture . They declare a war if asked for their prized possessions aka files+assignments+notes. They would commit suicide if their near most contender achieves the envied feat of gaining an extra half a mark . They form the butt of all class jokes . They shamelessly never hesitate to blurt out the cliché " yar kuch nai padha maine to ...". They never miss a chance to impress & overpower the poor teaching fraternity.

LESSER MAGGU'S : They are the intermediate types in all respects. Be it their seating arrangement during the lecture , their intensity to gorge on books in exam season (studying 15 days before endsems & 3 days before midsems ) ; making short hand ,crisp, self legible notes . Overall speaking they live in harmony with the classmates and the teachers by sharing their "prized"possessions with the class & asking genuine questions from the professors .

NON MAGGU'S : Totally "mast maula" type. Studying isn't their cup of tea . Exam time is greeted with " settings " done with people sitting right in front & behind ( only if they are willing ) else their only tiresome effort towards earning passing marks comes handy ; the meticulously designed pieces of artworks labeled ' farre , parchi , chits ...' . They form the 'spicy ' lot of the class ;not to forget their classic encounters with classmates , teachers or other unmentionable people round the campus .

While there occurs a constant selective transfusion of traits from one category people to the other , the class remains overall a balanced entity .

Here comes the outclass ; Totally lost yet focussed , Totally uninterested yet engrossed , Totally dumb( at times ) yet the cleverest students forming the Clandestine Radicals aspect of the now complete college classroom .

while the range of activity can be calculated for the previous 3 types , the radicals range is from minus to plus infinity .

THE RADICALS if never woken up might perish in the fire of self imposed & society inflicted notorious anonymity while on the other hand have the utmost potential to unleash their astounding perfection & leave the completely dumbfound academic guild gasping for breath .

So all those people with a " YES " ; its time to come out & rise above and show the world your true worth !!!

Writer's Fit

2007-06-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

OK , I'm finally here after having mercy on the poor people who used to curse me after wasting their 1 kb download by clicking on the blog's link ; i'm back people .

No...I won't say I have conquered the writer's block; as not belonging to the proficient fluent writer's species, I christen my writing state as a"Writer's FIT "... yes you read it right .

when the frontal subcortical area of the brain is flooded & choked with motley emotions & there seems no cure ... no, not even talking it out; as people who can bear the intensity are rare to find ...Writer's FIT seems to be the best option .

nobody to stop you
nobody to snigger
nobody to cry out ( well sure they would after reading but not in front of me at least [:p] )
nobody to run away in the midst of your spout

You kind of hold the person ( whose designation has been changed from an uninterested listener to the pitiable reader ) by the neck & let him read your blast of bizarre expressions .
People speak about curing & coming out of their writer's block stature while ones like me indulge themselves into the tempting FIT & let emotions flow .

Here I am reminded of gaurav sir's ways to come out of writer's block ...too witty to handle !

While Writer's FIT seems to be a better way out from the clamorous emotions piled over a long period of time ; where the person might suffer from the symptomatic outbursts of thoughtless pretentious " emotionally psychic " behaviour , leasing out their emotions now and then at wrong time & at wrong place; beautifully crafting at times strained relationships .

such people are the most difficult to comprehend .

CAUTION: People with such syndrome usually are lost in the absence of thoughts aka
' black hole of cognition ' .

The only cure known as of yet is the Writer's FIT.!!

Salvador Dali's magic through brush ...

Hybrid Images

2007-04-22T13:57:00.000-07:00

.OK , the thing that's mentioned right now IS an illusionary artiscientific(artistic+scientific) feast to the eye which i happened to discover during my random net surfing session .Gregory T. Huang from MIT just published an article dated march 21. 2007 on enigmatic revelations of hybrid images whose use dates back to 1940 ( painting by Salvador Dali of slave market with disappearing bust of Voltaire)

just check this out for yourself . let me give you an introduction about it :titled hybrid images this article showcases the way your eyes can be fooled by the magic wand of differential shading & contouring of images which appear to change with distance . WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST STEP FEW METERS BACK FROM YOUR COMPUTER & COMPARE WHAT U JUST SAW BEFORE WHEN U WERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN.

answers to the images are as follows ...
1. a frowning man changing into a calm lady
2. a dolphin into a car
3. hey now its Tony blair & now Margaret thatcher
4. oh my god!!! from what angle did Albert Einstein look like Marlyn Monroe ??!! but now he does
5. Are the ladies gloomy or glad ??!!

In Quest Of LOVE...

2007-04-04T04:09:00.000-07:00

what is love ?

is it a feeling , a state or a new world ?

Take me to the abode of love ,

where faith waters the garden of trust...
where happiness echoes unto eternity...
where completion abounds unto infinity...
where divine grace enrobes my soul ...

where feelings no more need to be told...

its all unsaid
its all clear
purity pervades to the sheer,

lead me to its kingdom
O! Supreme
& fill my soul with its sheen !!

intricacies of cognition

2007-03-10T04:05:00.001-08:00

SHE came to our college on the third day. she wore a white suite (her favourite one)defining & complementing her figure .With an uncertain ,nervous look in her eyes she mingled well with the herd of "freshers".I being the first person to talk to her asked her name ,then her rank & conversation followed ...
Slowly as time passed in this new seemingly uncomfortable place we came close to each other as persons .
SHE,A girl with simple & charming dressing sense ,dusky beauty with chiseled features & impressive creativity ingrained in her ,embellished with the art of knowing any person in a blink of an eye yet the most approachable and who always said every word from the bottom of her heart; was THE perfect candidate for any guy to fall for which in fact did happen as well !!!

then what happened ?...

well nothing as such happened yet everything had changed ...

this girl was dying each day ;no not because she was physically unwell but certainly ill on the mental front .
SHE was suffering & killing herself each second . SHE became a living carcass .

why ? what went wrong ?...

we both somewhat shared the common dislike for the place where we had landed & often used to discuss the alternatives .
HER disinterst towards the course ,failure to excel in studies & inability to take hold of her life was understandable .But she lingered on ...she never came out ...she just stayed & slept over her situation ...destroying herself day after day ...

result

she got distanced from her friends ,
she lost her seemingly well committed boyfriend ( actually cant blame him ),
apart from the tag of good rankers that she was stripped of long time back...

conclusion

this is the extreme conditon of a mental disorder experienced & understood on a personal scale whereby the person is incapable of snapping out of the vicious circle
of ennui , procrastination and inability to effectively act upon the solution of problems in life . where the person quits trying to help himself and nails himself in the perennial walking coffin of self disgust.

human mind is an enigmatic puzzle , simply decoding .... its the purported fickle chemical reactions taking place inside the grey matter which decide the entire persona of an individual . if we get hold of this then we'll get hold of everything ...

silence & stillness is what i crave for ,
leave me alone ...
i want no more of this fake life ;

i want reprieve from myself
i want to traverse the path untrodden
i want to feed my heart
with the stillness of a mountain,
i want to be a silent symphony
i want my soul to cherish eternity...

let the real me come out of me
let the dance of eternity be experienced by me
let the breeze of tranquility embrace me
let me be me ...
