Random thoughts
Picture from my archives... taken long back. |
Looking back isn’t difficult
Than life at progress;
Than life at progress;
Life is nothing perhaps lack past;
The future that be anything of
On the platform of early constructed
And surrender of something
That cost no more than humble;
Our past like a mirror
Reveal us the unknown self
Following like an eternal shadow
It kept forecasting our decisions
And nothing passes out without facing it.
The man as machine
The sense as added memory
Connected with wires
To feel virtually via touch pads
And reliance on word phrases
Texted on keypads!
A ladder needs a support
That no one can deny climbing up
Whereas leading down;
Wherever u go touching elevations
You can’t grow older than your parents.
You can’t grow older than your parents.

Sunset, at neighborhood
A gorgeous sunset at gleam…
The mild maroon and purple hues
Leaves back a lovely scene.
The dark clouds hide the majestic;
But not the hues and rays of sun
That paints the sky with radiant colors.
Footnote: I captured this wonderful sunset last evening while visiting the beach
in neighborhood, Thiruvanmiyur. I didn’t bring the came with me by chance, so
managed to shot it with my 2mp mobile phone and it’s been here I used to check
many splendid sunsets.

Power sharing – while there’s no power
The power has been a big problem these
days and due to shortage in electricity, there is a constant power cut in the
state of Tamil Nadu for more than a year or two now on hours basis and a day
holiday for once in month. I guess there’s similar problems in many other
states of India too, and the worst affected here are the industries and rural areas
where power cut is double triple times than two hours in cities… in some places
its unstable and total shutdown for a day.
Glad we live in city like Chennai to
experience and suffer from lease power outage, and whereas for our comfort many
experience the burned out of city limit which we don’t realize or think about
easily! Electricity is common for everyone and basic essential of life, but how
many of us truly realize the worth of electric and even thought it wasn’t there
we certainly go for alternative than accepting the shortage and try to reduce
its usage or change schedule according
to power outage.
Alternative is not at all bad but when it
comes from the same resource like electricity which already suffers a lot will
make the situation even worse than leaning hand. There is a talk for one such
alternative at home for long time and the urge for inverter has increased
lately among parents… but I kept concern of keep away the thought and interest
of parents confessing that electric is common for everyone and when others
suffer, we have to take part in it instead going for inverter as alternative
which is a way of stealing power.
If we think of the 6 to 8 hours of power outage
out of city, just 2 hours is nothing but least to bear and a small change in
our routine will do better and make us concentrate at things we badly missed in
presence of current. I take the time of outage to write blogs or work on Photoshop,
since I own laptop I make certain there’s enough power for two hours and the
only disadvantage was lack of internet connection and I also do book or paper
reading and listen to Walkman.
There are many way to divert our attention
than feeling for single most current that connects our electronic devices, but we
need to accept most of our today’s activates are based on gadgets. Back to
inverter, it’s a worth device and necessary if we are at constant basis of work
or expose to frequent power outage and for a house usage, I don’t think it’s
quite necessary when many others suffer a lot from outage, we alone going for a
inverter what other can’t afford esp. the poor. Again I need to confess,
electricity is common for everyone and it’s a basic vessel we all travel on and
we all need to share the pressure to make sure balance float and enjoy the
pleasure ride.

Sky Gazing
Image courtesy: Google |
I just want to
blow the wind
I just want to
kiss the clouds
I just want to
signal the stars
I just want to
paint the moon
Using the colors
of rainbow;
I just want to draw
a rangoli
Using the dots of
stars;
I just want to write
a letter
Using the galaxy
to my eternal love;
I just want to
eliminate from the earth
To fetch the
golden opportunity of stars
The silver
jubilee of moon
Under the
limelight of yellow sun.
Footnote: Just nothing
to do last night while the power goes off… I penned this poem using the mobile phone,
inspired by sky gazing.
