Lucky # 33

Yes, ...bhaiya, you are getting old,

Happy Birthday to you - I once told.

Evenings eating in Durga puja and culfest strolled;

And you had handwriting - horrible, so people sold.

Vaja and Structure were a beautiful tension controlled,

Crimson blues, a brilliant and passionate hold.

Rope and tire bridge - a shiny brick of white gold,

Anna's chai, Garba, Naini and DP saheb formed a strong, protective fold.

Freshers, jam and those class trips is all strangely enrolled,

Bhopal, Pune and Ahmedabad was daringly cold.

Direction, motivation from a big brother's fold,

For memories, great victories, and the future you behold.

Through good times and bad, be standing bold,

So did I say - ...bhabhi rolled; Yes, ...bhaiya, you are getting old.

A Happy Birthday email I wrote for a loving and caring bhai. Leart much from and look up to his thought process and decision-making.

Short compiliations

Dreamy sleep

This beautiful dreamy sleep, 

I dream about my future, while my present is flying

I dreamt money, fame and fortunes in those flights of the past,

Fortunately, I did not get all that - I got you. 

This beautiful dreamy sleep.

Introspecting my thoughts and expectations from a by-gone time.

Fear

Lions fear for their feed, 'nesses hunt for their pups,

The game fears for her foal, this world fears for their balance.

Fear fears it will be missed, so does religion and society,

- I fear for my when, my well-being and my well.

The many fears that I carry along - the burden of life and reality that strikes me when I wake up and reminds me when I am low and out.

Sleeplessness

Turns, whips, see-saw rolls;

Dreams, stares and ceiling falls.

Sleeplessness on the prowl.

Big blobby eyes revolving around my sun;

Gleams thoughtfully like fruit by a black bun.

Sleeplessness on the run.

Wavering prying around the room;

Stares a question when each taunt grooms.

Sleeplessness on the loom.

The agonizing time spent in understanding love, life and the likelihood of using those words in the same sentence. Written around mid-night.

Lost

Losses are mounting and seats are burning,

Eyes are turning and hearts out pounding.

Bosses are yelling and tables up piling,

Keys are toiling and the box is whiling.

Crosses are rising and football is demising,

Wheels are pricing and backs are reeling.

Breeze is lieing and food is frying,

Thoughts are flying and fear is greying.

Losses are mounting and seats are burning -

Life is re-mixing and decisions are crying.

Day dreaming about the next few steps in life and being realistic at the same time about who I am and what I offer.

Super Heroes

A few days back, I have got a mail from Sony pictures' Spider-man Fan network (i am member of that) about "Spider-man moves to Broadway theater". It's a Super Hero as we all know very well. The Comic-makers have dumped a hell lot of Superheros onto us (mostly they are seen in USA). As we all are aware of the fact that there are no super heroes (like they are claiming & selling their stuff like hot cakes), we still love them. Why? well, cant be one reason for that..but out of those, one reason may be - "they can do what we cant.." Super power.

There may be (are) millions of fans of such movies - from X-men to Fantastic 4 to Spiderman 3, from Hulk to Harry Porter to Transformers. All movies were for fun..and mostly became popular less because of their previously published book or comic, but by Amazing Visual effects. As far as I know, till date no 'Superhero' movie contained a Real message,and was for pure entertainment only. But one movie has changed my perception - "The Dark Knight". I don't want to write movie review here..as That's immaterial for me what others think about this one. But indeed this movie has swung the pendulum - First time the villain is the real hero of the movie.

I am yet to find the End to the Chain of thoughts after watching the movie, hence the conclusion is pending. But till now, what i understood is clear. We don't need Heroes to save ourselves. We are living in a society - made by us. We are a part of it. If we are facing a problem, we cant wait for someone to come and help us out. We have to rise and stand united - have to help ourselves (remember 2 passanger ships with Bombs in the movie??) - about everything that bothers us. Otherwise villains like "Joker" continue to terrorise few "Batmans" who are fighting single-handedly with his own resources. You have to become a "Hero" on your own for yourself. (Like Harry potter does at the end of movie Prisoner of Azkaban, to save sirius Black with his powerful patronus to repel Dementors..after waiting long for his father to come to rescue them)

In the last, Dialogue from movie "The Incredibles"

"When Everyone will be superhero, no one will"

Time flies, but the brain thinks

Thoughts come and vanish across
Roads merge to diverge again
Cells grow and energy drains
You drink, dunk and dazzle away

Stars shine in your eyes and dreams defy
Mornings turn to noon with coffee and chai
T-shirts, Jeans - Shorts and Sneakers,
Leagues, games that make the first person fly

Receipts rot, bills paid and accounts maxed
Tours and travel, add to shops and tax
Laugh, bicker, hug and mesh
Copy, paste, front page to index

Time Flies, but the brain thinks
