Us

-



Aeons ago we met
and held hands
ages passed between
one glimpse and another

it took upheavals
to bring us together

Lores got written,
weapons clashed
worlds were plunged into chaos
in an attempt to keep us apart

through raging thunder
and whirlpools
we made it to the shore
only to lose ourselves
in the sands of time

Awww...how utterly romantic :) But, I wonder...do the last 2 lines imply something tragic or wanting? Or do I read tragedy in everything?? :(

Mixed brew....u read it right....the end is tragic or shall we say real.

Galadriel....thanks. dont dwell on it too much though. Have a great life ahead.


nsiyer: welcome back. The end I believe is the real end unlike the hindi film ends we have become used to.
Will look forward to your updates.

Wow Pinku! I wish it ended differently though...

But you are right I guess, this is more true to real life.

Some dreams

I started out in life with some dreams, a couple of aspirations and a few vague goals of how I wanted to live life. There were some do’s and don’t in my list of things like am sure everyone has. The most important of these was an attempt to live an honest, uncomplicated life. Honest not in the Gandhian sense of telling the truth no matter what rather in being able to openly do what I wanted to do. One thing I have always hated is the need for camouflage. I never wanted to be the prettiest, the best, the wealthiest all I wanted was contentment and the opportunity to be happy and make those around me happy in whatever small measure I could.

The trip this time was no different, since right from the beginning I kept filing away details in my mind and clicking pictures all with the view that it would get space on the blog. However since my travel mate Mampi is already writing about the exact activities of the trip in great detail I am not going to repeat it. You can visit her blog for details. Let me therefore share with you some snippets and photographs. It was Dalhousie that we went to this time. Famously nicknamed " dull & lousy " by the boisterous crowds, the place is a military cantonment and a quaint little town that was set up just 150 years ago. We arrived there in high spirits, the thrill of having escaped the mundane hectic lives we normally lead giving all of us extra broad smiles. A ...

A question?

Is this where it all started? This murder of brother by brother? This raping of the Motherland? We were fooled then, are we going to continue doing so for ever? Will we never learn any lessons? (Please read the english text on the image to understand where I am coming from. Frankly I have'nt verified the authenticity of this statement but I can't help believing that this or something similar was planned to bring my golden country down to its knees. )
