an antidote

Look at history

And tell me

Ok, don't tell me

But ponder on it

In all of human history

When was a government perfect

When was society 

Perfect

When was work environment

Perfect

Never Never Never

Whenever you are born

Wherever you are born

Live boldly

Live fearlessly

Live freely

Live Live Live

one against the vanity

Don't fall into the trap

Carefully crafted 

A handome man

Sometimes

A beautiful woman

Experiencing

A heavenly joy

After struggling hard for years

Crying in pain

Dissatisfied

Not giving up

And finally making it

With the world clapping

Psychological traps are all around

Coated with Nuttella

A smart guy

Knows it all

Has all ideas 

Everyone claps for him

Life is easy for him

Instead

If you can

Softly wash the dishes

Patiently looking at the colour of the foam

And lovingly rubbing it

Or maybe

Slowly stir the vegetables

With all the colours dancing around

And gradually loosening up

It can also mean

Holding your guitar

With a beginner's mind

Open for every small learning

Which may be the most magical moments of your life

Music in your heart means more than

The deafening noise of the clapping

Life is open to all

And every moment

Just Check In 

special mornings

The eyes caught my attention

As I looked more intently

The sparkle in the eyes

The moustache and the beard

And a smile flowered on the face

There is something to it

That it spreads magic

And I asked myself this question

Why did I hate it at some point

Why it never felt perfect

And today, even the scars 

Just add the right touch

Why does the mirror reflect joy today

When before

All it reflected was sorrow

May be,

First the heart blooms

And then the smile

thanks for the smile

Sitting in the balcony

The calm pool of water

A pleasant morning

Fresh mind

And body

The stillness of nature

It's freshness

And colours

There was an urge to contemplate

On what I was seeing

I chose to experience it

Simply

The trees started swaying

Every tree joined it

Some birds were flapping their wings

And one bird was singing 

Very melodiously

And me trying to count

How many times does the bird sing

The same sequence of notes

Suddenly, it was like a performance by nature

With singing and swaying

So many trees and plants 

With different colours and different dimensions

A heavenly performance I must say

I too felt like joining in with my guitar

Can I understand the rhythm of this 

I was not very confident

May be good guitarists have this ability

To join the mood and play along

May be

Like surfers on the waves

And I felt like breathing deeply

This desire to breathe deeply was a spontaneous one

And not the forced meditation techniques of breathing deeply

I must say

A good morning

Cordon Bleu

I know

I know

It's a terrible tragedy

Yet,

I wish to write about

My good time

I wonder

Sometimes walking in my house

As different rooms

Have different colours and character to it

One of the rooms

Lit by the evening light

With a balcony

And the trees

The other

My living room

Well lit

With an easel on which my wife paints

And a TV , a smart one

I wonder

When I have a good time, I let loose

Or

When I let loose, I have a good time

Well, who knows

I watched a movie

Julie & Julia

Cried with whisky 

And cheese

A genetic trait from my grandfather

A great man

In my eyes

Whenever I have a good time

I realise

I am lucky 

Extremely lucky

Having such 

Wonderful people in my life

All of you

Bring music to my life

In the movie

Was a blogger

Writing everyday

Like a disciplined person

I too have some readers

Who talk to me sometimes

And like what I write

I know 

I was wondering whether I could write 

In a routine

Every day, every week,every month

May be that is how you blog

I can't

I wait for that time to come

When I live without any constraints

Free what Albert Camus would want a man to be

Mad like Dali

Nihilistic like Bukowski

Or may be like me

Like a nobody

A happy one , but a nobody

Like you, like a

Nobody

Anyways

Good Night

the puzzle

Give me my pain

Pleasure

I don't serve you

Losses have been my companion

Wins

You can't hold my attention

Let me dance

With the stars

And break my heart

Moments are ephemeral

So, is life

What will I do

With all the diamonds in my palms

I know the trick

The chains invisible

The burden unbearable

The slavery

Legitimised

Isn't it ?

IG-335

I travel 
Once in a while
On a plane

And there is always 
This strange feeling of me trusting
A stranger for my life

This feeling of playing in the sky
With wings turning at crazy angles
Brings me out
From the never ending
Noise
Monotony
Of life lived daily

Living amongst the skies
With clouds
Sun
Moon


And away you can see
Human existence appearing
Really small
Insignificant

Just push your chair back
And press a button

And if you are lucky
An airhostess
With a big smile on her face
Will ask you

What do you want ?

Nothing much
Just water
