scattered notes

some short notes, which I keep scribbling here and there, and somehow have managed not to lose

___________________________



I sort of love the first line in Robert Evans' movie memoir-- The Kid Stays in the Picture:

There are three sides to every story: yours...mine...and the truth

What a wicked marvel!

Parched throat of the earth
Starless silhouette of the firmament
Tricky Sun sucks on dew and glaze
Dryly smiling in shades of orange and crimson
Prayers submitted to heavens
To mend away the losses
Wash away the thirsty soil
Embellish the lonely skies

_________________________________________-

I am looking at every bird in the sky with an indescribable glee on my face and child-like joy in my heart.


__________________________________________

A walk too long.
Symmetrical cuts adorn the feet.
Throbbing sensations.
Sore Achilles heel.
Frail bones, strained muscles
Cranky moods, stormy thoughts
Impatient expectations, rude realities.
Hmpf to the world!

_____________________________________

I want to rediscover the purity and essence life form first originated with the intention of. Instead I get involved deeper and deeper in its meaningless albeit seriously messy philosophy.

______________________________________________

If you look at it once, it will not reveal itself to you.
Look again. And this time gaze closely and intensely.
An unusual sight beholds.
Even the reflection of the dancing trees against blue-green blinds in the golden sun will speak a language of its own making.
These flashes of magic come everyday.
Blink and the elves of imagination will disappear.
The trick is to see with your senses.

after the piano rondevu

Night falls, the glow of the evening lamp; sitting on the couch, it's the perfect time to write poetry, create music. _________________________________ Too close, too many, so close that you can be touched, so close that they touch you, and you shrink, you shrink, shiver, contract, and then, all of a sudden, you vanish like a note of music you become a part of those vibrations You become music. ____________________________________ There are times when several things, ideas, thoughts come rushing to you, all of a sudden, at the same time, you remember all your dreams, together, and you want to hold on to them, each one of them, tightly, so that none, not even one of them can slip away, freeing themselves from the clutches, and fly out from the corners of the fluttering mind. ___________________________________ Sometimes I miss certain things, inane, trivial things: I miss living on the top floor of a very high building, with the rest of the existence beneath me, watching the sky as

after a call and a letter

Sometimes just talking to an old friend whom you don't get to speak to or meet very often brings tears to your eyes. Talking to them you realise how far and few such people are who you consider close to yourself, you realise how much you have missed a carefree conversation laden with memories, you realise how much you have missed the lilt in your voice, you realise how much you have missed being with a 'friend' who's not measuring every word you utter and judging you for your traits, your opinions, your idiosyncrasies. Certain aspects of you come alive only in the company of certain people, certain bonds, certain relationships. I realise most of my close friends share a common characteristic - they cannot tell you in person what you mean to them, they write to you just after you've left or hung up to acknowledge that.

too quiet, too serene, why aren't all moments like this:)

It's night but the sky is blue, a midnight blue and all I can see are stars, silver specks glittering in serene vastness. _______________________ I still speak to my old friends, at length, quite often, sometimes rather too frequently. We usually end up discussing the current state of affairs in our lives, which often translates to sharing our serious and sometimes silly problems, dilemmas and choices facing us. Sometimes we talk of the wonder years, of the city that was once home to us but where nothing is left now but for memories. Amidst the changes, we stick to our memories , never wanting to go home without writing a song, on paper or air. As we moved on, our new experiences and our new visions have left us so much to talk about regarding our present selves, so divorced are we now our lives that we have to at times keep introducing things, ourselves. It seems that surviving in the competition of the world, they have not enough time to read or write, watch a play, attend a reci
