SURVIVAL

I want to crawl
Before lights fade
Before my eyes fail
To intrude the dark
I want to crawl
To the line of life
Before the race ends
Before the heaven calls
I want to crawl
To the ocean of peace
Before in agony
I get caught
I want to crawl..

WIPE OUT

There are few things which are buried deep in the soils of one's not so conscious mind. What is required for them to re emerge is just a few drops of water. That sprinkle of water can be one's utter desire to keep things in memory. The millions and billions of neurons store things that are dearest to us. And we are ready to do anything just to keep the plant of memories alive and green inside us.
What happens when these precious banks begin to become bankrupt? It feels like someone is pulling away minute threads out of the immense bunch of entwined fibre which cant be felt by our mere earthly senses.
Wipe out. An ultimately horrifying experience. You know that u are trying to remember something. But where is it? U wander in the dark unexplored streets of ur mind, not knowing where to go. U cant find the way out too because there is no source of light. U fear u will be sucked into the darkness. The memories u want are finally not there. They are wiped out. And u know that. Nothing can be worse. As one dies, all the streets which had a sign board showing the name of the wonderful thing they remembered for u begin to fade away. They are demolished and u know that they are being done so. A true helpless feeling.
A biological sign ? That we are mere mortals and there are few things we won't be able to control ever.

Procrastination..is the thief of time?

Well that’s absolutely true. Procrastinating tasks munches away the precious slices of time in tiny bits. But isn’t it true that procrastinating things makes us feel there is a lot more of time to do the same thing? A different perspective is that I feel it stretches the time line. Now by that I don’t mean its actually stretched or any such non-scientific fact. The thing is, it can be as well compared to the Doppler effect where the change or shift is just apparent and relative to the viewer.
Same is the case with postponing tasks. If that’s done at a highly extreme rate, one might reach the other end without realizing that it was just apparent that there was a lot of time in hand! On the other hand, if one shifts a given piece of work by a little amount of time, the empty slot of time made available by the deliberate shift, makes one relax and energizes mind for the successful completion of the work shifted and others too!
Now everything has a boundary! J
But as far as my opinion is concerned, hmm I advocate a little of procrastination!

Zebra Crossing

Hey! Remove this multi-colored carnival bed cover and spread a milder one! The colors prick my eyes...Switch off the damn lights! I want to be in the dark.. I want to be alone...
Sounds familiar? Oh yes. These are the words uttered by all of us at some point of our lives or the other. Maybe u said it a while ago?

This is the quest for peace. Serenity. Makes me wonder though.. Are we actually colorful? Or as they say white is the color of calm and peace.Believe it or not, human mind runs behind white in certain situations.

Irony. Darkness is not bright,and white. Yet peaceful. So calm and quiet. Now the million dollar question!

White or Black? Where will I find you?...
Keep pondering... Till my next post!

Gratitude

There was a flower,
Fragrance it spread,
I looked at it,
Knowing not what i wanted...
The flower danced,
The garden smiled,
The wind giggled,
For each other they were made...
I stopped for a while,
Wished to be a part,
Of the loveliest of joy,
And my wish was granted...
I praise the wind,
I thank the garden,
I adore the flower,
For accepting a stranger,
In the realm of happiness,
They always shared....

Happy doormatting!

I remember long back during my school days my friend used to talk about being a doormat. As my habit is, I used to laugh and forget the matter thinking of it as a joke. Or the fact could be that I wasn’t interested in thinking about it. Now , giving it a thought, I can say that ‘being a doormat’ phase of anyone’s life is the most painful one!
Here goes the story of a doormat…. It is beautiful, colorful and is used by numerous people who don’t even notice what they are using! The doormat lies there on the doorsteps, cleaning others dirt and getting dirty instead. And the reward! Yes, the final reward that it gets is that it gets torn into bits by overuse and is replaced….
What a fate! So any doormats out there???? Beware…. Don’t get exploited is the trend of today!

Manpower....

I wonder at the meaning of manpower. Is it the mere population count or the effective population? well....by effective population i mean that fraction which is skilled and contributes to the growth....of infrastructure or resources.
India having such a huge population and with a high fertility rate should have been the most prosperous country... but we know the truth.
It is heard that china is suffering from major labor crisis. i guess because of low fertitily rate one day there will be a HR crunch there.
so where is our country? behind or ahead?
