Miracle Maker

-
Frowning hard, swearing under our breath
trying to tackle the latest problem that
threatens to rock our little boat,
we suddenly remember you,
and we smile.

Quarreling with each other,
our hearts as gloomy as the sky outside
wishing for a bit of peace,
we think of you,
and we smile.

Our dreams turn rosier, our thoughts pure
We tread lightly, with an invisible spring in our steps,
We know without being told that your finger
has touched us somewhere

Lust has turned into love,
passionate lip locks been replaced by
chaste kisses on the forehead in the foyer
of a cinema, all thanks to you

We are waiting for you, eagerly, hopefully,
to come and change our life forever
we of the frayed nerves, of the cynical mind
for a moment we shed all our negativity
and Miracle Maker with a smile
we await you

Amen (in all the languages of the world.

Indeed the verse reader has sprouted wings.

The spectrum's brightest hue has spread across the evening skies and hangs lazily, indolently, tantalizingly, as a promise would. A promise involving all the five senses. And demanding our sixth one.

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. Now at the much experienced age of thirty when I survey the scene around me all I find is a Mahabharat like battlefield littered with the carcasses of my dreams, aspirations, well intentioned actions and my goals …my goals are nowhere to be found. They abandoned the field long back, stealthily, leaving me to fend for myself as best as I could. I have ...

I have been writing about my trips on this blog regularly under the label footprints . So much so that part of the excitement of going on a trip now seems to be the recounting of it once back on the blog for friends. 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. )
