my dream view!!!!!!

a pot full of emotions!

round and round,
they twirl about,
all my emotions,
in this melting pot,
they melt,
they simmer,
they boil and froth,
until all are one...
and i cant recall,
what i was feeling anyway!

bittersweet realities,
just hold your breath,
and gulp it down,
face it head on,
thats the only way..
for what you cant change,
you cant mend,
maybe its a godsend,
in more ways than one,
maybe its difficult to see,
but i know,
in the end,
its good for me,
and i'll get through,
some more tough ones,
and in the end it'll be my destiny,
which i'll write,
anyway..........

sunday!!!!

empty trains,
and empty streets..
no signals all the way home......
balloons and laughter,
of children playing,
and shouting with glee,
sunsets by the sea,
a leisurely coffee with friends,
chatting and discussing
just about nothing!
dinner plans
and last minute reservations...
favorite restaurants
and eating too much......
heading home,
and a deep sleep..
lets enjoy,
lets live it up,
becoz tomorrow it'll be monday again!!!!!

phool market.....

Walking down the road from dadar station on sunday morning, i notice a road or a whole market literally, selling flowers, the kinds that are used as offerings in temples, in darghas...so many people haggling over prices, bargaining, making an occupation out of this flower business...i walk further down the road i notice this lady, very carefully, painstakingly choosing a garland, for her favorite deity perhaps...and it just gets me thinking.....

Religion, it is entwined(or should i say entangled, i'm not sure!) in every fabric of our society..everwhere we go, it is staring right back at us in some form or the other.People take so much time, so much effort, spend so much money to nurture this passion/obsession/weakness, what should i call it? What is this human tendency that makes us so desperately cling on to this belief, that we need this super power, this mighty force behind us, looking over us?Not that i dont believe in this super power.I do.What i dont understand is this constant need to glorify, and enshrine Him in the name of religion. This need,that makes people so blind, that they perform the most ridiculous sounding tasks, from donating large amounts of money to sacrificing fellow human beings even, all in the name of religion..This the one common factor,that binds so many, the most notorious don to a pious priest, from a homeless beggar to a high flying executive, they all believe, or want to anyway.....

Just imagine, the same time, money, effort, and thought, spent in another way...say in helping a cause...saving the planet, finding a miraculous cure, or just in bettering our own lives and of those around us anyway...just imagine..for it is after all, just a thought!
