Who has seen Forever?????

To start, a quote! from one of my favorite Characters...

"Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm."

There is much i have come to realize from the past.. there is much that is written.. there is much that can be unwritten. There is nothing that can't be fixed.. there's nothing which can't be broken!!

Who has seen forever?

There is much that lasts through time long,
yet more which disappears in flash!
An oasis off by a furlong,
the ceaseless desert's lash!

No river that can't be crossed,
yet the seas can break your boats!
No mountain that can't be conquered,
yet not all men cross their moats!

To see that far away,
yet reflect the past!
to lie still ,
as the winter rushes fast!

Everyday a new beginning,
every night a dormant reaper!
Yet the sun shines anew every morn,
and the light of hope drills deeper...

It's a slow roast, time. Great teacher but doesn't spare the rod, ever!

Wings are not the key to Flying

I believe I can fly.. Words that changed the way I looked at life!! Once every few years there comes a day in your life which changes the way you think, the way you perceive, the way you understand, the way you love, the way you cry the way you stitch yourself in to the fabric of the universe!! I had such an experience a few days ago! Now I know I can fly!!! Yup.. All **Kgs of me!! And I have not words to express everything I felt at that moment... Everything I wanted to say.. Everything I wanted scream.. Everything I wanted to know and everything I wanted to say.. But here's what I could compile....

This is it...

Here I am..

at the edge of world

Looking down..

To the ground

Do I have it?

...to let go

.. jump to eternity

..leave behind woe

This is it! This is the moment

To be or not to be

To Not look back..

and take the leap..

Let my soul go free!!

There are these bonds which hold me back

There is this long trodden track

Snap off these ropes and let them crack!!

Throw this baggage off my back!!

I look below and freedom I see

My legs shiver to rebel

There is naught but open sea

And my boat is yet to level

A deep breath, a draught of air

To freshen up the mind

Shuffling feet; a staunch stance

And off I go... No rewind!!

I feel the wind

Against my face

I greet it with a smile

Freedom now,

I no longer chase

free from past so guile..

All that I was

is now no more

No trace of old history

This is me..

Here and now

And the future is a mystery

Behind my back, darkness dwells

No trace of that twas old

henceforth now the future swells

Clocks to zero rolled

Sometimes i feel you don't need the year to change to start afresh, a new sun is enough...

Sometimes i feel you don't need to forget the past to start afresh, a new thought is enough...

Sometimes.. just a little pat on the back triggers it.. sometimes you don't even need that.. but sometimes you need to push yourself off a cliff to figure out that YOU ARE FREE!! and that's when you

.............START AFRESH!!

cheers!!!

 

Killer songs... kind of reflect what i'm trying say.. maybe in better words :P

Sala 2014 aa Gaya... Mazak chal raha hai :/

The year has changed. Like it does once in every 365 days (lets ignore leap years for now... I'll come back to it later). So yeah, 2014!

Two things that didn't change this year is the direction of the solar cycle (good old Mr. Yellow sill came up from dead east, seems pretty adamant about it) and Mathematics (some how this subject still doesn't see the light.. What is wrong with this one? Creating issues with apples and oranges since times immemorial!!).

On the other hand, two things that did change are the ways in which the world perceives India's National politics (Kejriwal being the man of the moment) and Sachin leaving (c'mon.. I couldn't miss this guy, I'm Indian and I was born in the 90s he had all but an idol in the temple!!).

So what is the most obvious thing that comes to mind...

Change is Optional and Not a Compulsion!!

And when a change happens, you can't be super sure that it's the good sort.. Change is change.. It can be good or it can bad.. But you won't figure it out till later in the day.

Should that scare you? Does it make you feel that complacency is good? If it's going good, there should be no change? Well I say 'Bitch, Please!!' to that. If it's going good then it should get BETTER! It might get worse before it gets any better, yes, but I would prefer that to a scaredy cat approach! So next logical conclusion?

Change should be a Compulsion!!

So yeah.. Here's to change! If it's bad then Fuck It! And if it's good then Fuck Yeah!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Cheers!
