To be or not to be – yet again

. Thursday, January 9, 2014

To be or not to be to be able to survive is a wonder in itself. To be able to come out of a fiasco is a mere footnote in the bigger journey called life. Yet we get so engrossed about such things that when they actually play out in our domain, we kind of become blind and oblivious to the outer world. We do not respond to the outer stimulus and behave like a dead body, frozen in time and sensibilities.

We are a living body with a dead soul. We all are. Ok.Before all of you protest that you are not, ask yourself when was the last time you had smiled or cried when you were not directly affected by the events. Sounds mad? I don’t think so. It only sounds sympathetic. Remember Prometheus? The Greek titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals? We need more of him and not of grandeurs.

We are all consumed with the challenge of making our life a better one. We are so occupied by the unknown future that the present is always a miss and yet a mess. We are a product of so many sacrifices and voluntary services and we take them for granted. We always demand gratitude for services which we never paid when we were at the receiving end of that. Yet we call ourselves rational, intelligent and justified.

These days there are no childhood, because there is no child anymore. All are either a well oiled machine or a bunch of crap. Nobody wants a human, all want successful cheerleaders. Sounds unapologetic? Pessimistic? Copy cat? If only life could give us a second chance! Even we take chances also for granted!

Your magnificent dark eyes, dark emeralds aflame
Your not so silky black hair, still perfect in rain.
The way you walk, a light, mirthful peacock in prance
So cheerful and happy , ever ready to dance
When I hear your sweet laughter, a sweet melodious tune
I feel alive, full of joy; I could probably fly to the moon
On those rare moments, when your eyes meets mine
I feel a warm pleasure and chill down the spine

I know not how it started
Perhaps 7 years ago
I know not how I met you,
definitely it did not happen in a go
Those long night chats, the long night talks
Discussing every damn spree
I sit idly all night always wishing you would see
Perhaps even come and sit down next to me

I have seen my friends and I know myself
I owe you a million thanks for all your help
Through thick and thins, through summers and through winters
You have been there, you have been there in dreams and in shatters
you are my genie and you are the whole
you are in my dreams and you fill my soul;
you are a genius and a perfect magician
As you change my life with a magic wand

I am not photogenic and I can not sing
I can not play and neither I am outstanding
Though I have always thought of boon and bane
But I am always up for a walk with you down the lane.
I am happy with you and I am happy without you
I am happy with your presence beyond sight
I never have to fight and I never have to moan
I can always meet you in a state of delight

You know that I don't open my gates
and you know that I don't believe in fate
You know that I need space and I need mind
To talk, to share and to help me unwind…

As I watch the evening's amber sun
and I calm myself down, from thoughts weighing a tonne
I watch you smile, and it send jolts through my heart
The soothing orange invigorates my mind
As you do, always so kind
Stay there as you are
Right in my wishes and in my sweet dreams
I pray that you remain pure and perfect
and keep smiling with warmth forever.
