life is a journey...
old saying known...
and there are places,
where toils gravestone...
seems a stop?
if you hold on...
there is surely,
another door unlocked...

gloom goons...

Ahmedabad Serial Blasts...
16 places blasted... with 30 killed and 100 injured (as reported so far)

After yesterday's mishap, i was not calm...
Somehow the sadness was still lasting in me...
as if something more is yet to come...

The Bangalore blasts seemed, a smoke screen...
or perhaps a hoodwink for the bigger boom!

There was 14-page mail being sent to all news/media channels. Not only that... there was a warning sent 3 days... mind it THREE DAYS AGO... What was done?? Why we were not able to act fast?? Where is the administration lagging?? were we all SLEEPING???

Every time these things happen and the carp is set on that we do not have adequate special task-force to handle such situations...

My question is what is done for the same each time?? The budgets are being sanctioned... ya, we hear that every time... but where is the force being created?? where are the people being trained??? why are we lacking in blink action... why?

Jaipur... Bangalore... Ahmedabad... Next... WHERE???

looming gloom

Hollow cast
hollow doom...
snub mass,
creeping gloom...
why?
This is the phrase that crossed my mind, with the terror cast from the blasts in Bangalore today... till now 7 blasts have been reported with 2 causalities and 20 seriously injured... source identified as the gelatin sticks with nuts and bolts used as shrapnel and explosive of the quantity of 1 or 2 hand grenade...

But sadly, forgetting the injured people, the media is more vocal about the blame game... who is behind all this, terrorist SIMI or LeT are being pointed...
Why can't people and media be more focused on the issue at hand... why they roam around in circles, round and round the issue without really getting their hands into it... Making a 'Big-Fat-Fish' out of the sentiments of people is what always done...
And unfortunately 'we' become their preys willingly... panic... loose our common-sense and give in easily...
Where our logical thinking goes when it is actually needed?

But (not to forget) some of the new-age-gens are so much advanced and computerized that the when they get the ill-fated-news... the only reaction is to call home, check if everything is fine and go back to their precious computer screens... as if allz well!
How?? how can we be so in-humane??

I too checked home, checked with all my friends if they were fine and situation was under control... but i was not able to return to my work...
I looked around, people were busy with client calls, meetings... laughing... the daily office routine...
But... i just couldn't laugh... I went to my fav place to calm myself, but that also didn't help... so i decided to leave office by the very first bus leaving the campus since i hadn't come by my bike today...

As majority of the crowd was leaving early, I had to commute standing. And while standing in the bus only the above phrase came into my mind...

All the questions of the changing computerized life... thinking how people love machines more than fellow humans... How easily they communicate to machines, but when faced with a real person, they seem lost on words...
When did this transition happen?

But suddenly one guy asked me to take his seat... and i was like... curtsy still exists... humanity still exists...
But still, are people not losing the touch on how to express... how to initiate... how to bloom a smile... how to show the love...?

de winged

You awoke
my insensate soul
Whilst the sunset casts the last glow…
You unknowingly became
my fiduciary
Whilst counting the glistening stars above…

You gave me
twilight dreams
Whilst slowly stroking my tender hands…
And I wished
I could be your anodyne
that ceases the creases on your heart…
Whilst you inspire
my poetic soul
And the glow of
a dreaming spirit…

even then
Never would I hold
you captive…
but still you possess
my wings
upon your eyelashes, ever so…

Dance

When the night
seems too long...
when the heart
beats no sound...
when the hands
become cold...
and you find
yourself alone...
play the music
that you love most...
dance and dance
till you drop dead...
dance on the snow
till, The End
of the show...

honor...

My honor is my life,
both go in One…
take Honor from Me,
and My Life is Done…

Pieces of Heart

Some one can break Your Heart
But It’s Amazing…
You Still Love them
with every Broken Piece…
You Still Smile
Coz they are smiling…
