My Experiments with Truth

............yes Gandhiji can sue me for using that title [;-)]

Illusion is an error of perception, and to know illusion as illusion is knowledge.
Haaha…I guess I started on a flash back note!!
Okays let me catch on an interesting note…So…many of us have experienced infatuation in its delicate form. Yeah for many it could have been an adolescent hormonal kickboxing [;-)], for some drooling sentimental labile emotions, heart wounds without worlds or fights…masochistic movement with slogans like ‘ab to adat si hogayi hai aise jeene ki’!!! [:-D]…and all such stuff….But wasn’t it a feeling so strong yet so evanescent that for some it might be of no relevance today. So with all the substance out of it what remains real is the experience you had been through.
Now to talk about friends…In today’s cosmopolitan culture this word has its own connotations derived merely out of sheer convenience. Life in metro has so much to offer that you need consortium to appreciate all its taste in full zing (inclusive of honking horns through the rigmarole of ambulatory traffic jams [;-)]). So such terms have become common today like - ‘gym pals’, ‘movie pals’, ‘shopping friends’ & can’t stop myself from quoting this – ‘bhai friend’ (an innovative & equally convenient word used by my college gals to name their platonic relationship with a boy. This was to veil off from any link up tags!!!...Ahh!! So LS!!! )
As Paulo Coelho beautifully uses the term ‘Favor Banks’ for such relationships. Well no doubt of their pragmatic relevance today. But come to think of it, the inherent fallacies is well rendered in the web such mundane life and it makes life seem so artificial and moribund. The daily pleasantries we exchange have been reduced to a more of mechanical or robotic deed.
Hmmm…out of some experience I shall say that when you connect with anyone without any needs and stuff, its far more real giving inner peace.
Well if some of you remember few lessons from physics, I shall put it like:-
When people with similar ‘energy’ or ‘frequency’ meet, ‘resonance’ is bound to happen to emanate an euphony which reverberates in mind and opens gate to the soul. Such is the 'interference' that happens that your soul expands. It is now when you start connecting on another astral plane that the presence of such companion becomes implicit and physical proximity isn’t required. And when I say same energy level it could be folks much older or younger than you….all you have in common is same zest and gusto.
When the world is full of artificial morons and their routine & perfunctory deeds, the mind becomes involuntary and turns blind due to asphyxiation. It is at this moment, if an instance is strong enough to seep inside from your mind to soul, one is bound to get fascinated to experience it again as it makes you feel alive with a reason!!. Such instance could be any like a meaningful deep conversation, music, meditation or some tangible experience like being close to nature in its primordial form and beauty.

Well Well Well!!!! ………at the end for those who could muster the patience to read it all I would say:-

# Firstly, I wasn’t Sermonizing [:-P] [;-)]
# Secondly no personal accusations for words like ‘moron’ etc coz even I accept to be one of them at times, incarcerated in the artificial world of ‘Moh Maya’ …[;-)]
# Lastly I do respect the ones who do not think like me, after all how boring this world gonna turn be if we all thought alike!! [:-D]

It’s About to Rain

(well this poem had been written few years back to be precise around July 2003....just thot of publishing it now.....)

A sudden cool breeze starts flowing swiftly
As if the coming guest
Send messenger to read out hissingly
“It’s about to Rain…”

Trees start swinging on that connotation
as if singing a welcome song for the coming peltation
Birds start chirping
and entwining majestically in the murky sky
Frogs hop around singing
in a cacophony my ‘o’ my
Oh! There in the thundering sky
Like a streak of firework
by the nature to entice its coming kindred.

Dancing droplets umpteen on the river bed local
sounds like innate classical vocal
Rain has bought smile on farmer’s bleak face
a harvest
that would give his penurious life a lucrative pace.

Sun peeps in from the cloud
to get a glimpse of
a svelte paradise set on the earth aloud.
Love, life, greenery all around
and to gratify this ecstasy
it sends garland down below
in the form of rainbow

GoodBye

GoodBye

Very strong is the power of
Goodbye
Which is implemented in the form of
a simple bye
and vociferates by shedding allegiant tears.
It assails on hearing
that a friend was soon to gear out of your reach & affection
and you were credulous
if you could pour in there your maximum attention.

The bonding in the relation
has a magnetic attraction
and departure signifies it
though it actually hit.
The power of goodbye is strong
but to break this bond supported on walls of love and trust
it has to long
because there souls are intertwined
and they never depart.

Perceiving with the law of nature
Everyone who took birth had to go,
leaving a simple effigy of human nature.
Fear from death shows intimidating part of Goodbye.
Departure was from a person whom you once said my
and now few happy and rue memories were left.
Leaving an old friend wasn’t easy,
For making a new friend
you have to probe in as a trend
as true friends are rare.
This was the feeling I wanted to share.
