morrow sorrow ends

Seeking the solitude of nostalgic conversations,
those memories carved into exquisite sculptures,
vividly dramatized by crafty chisels of fondness,
I wander along the paved paths of cosy thought.

Stuck in this cuddling illusion of enormous comfort,
my throat slowly drains off all that is wetting it,
while continuing to hum with an unerring precision,
seeking strength and shelter in gloves of our bonding.

Faced with the proposition of distance separating us,
all the veils and mirages so painstakingly constructed,
count to null in the haughty onslaught of lonely echoes,
haunting relentlessly to pierce a delicate peace of self.

That beautiful dawn, glory magnified by horrid nightmares,
unseen by the blind-folded night forever in denial,
I await for with a thousand words of all that you mean,
that will reach your conscience without ever being spoken.

Hoping to read beyond the horizon on a starless sky,
from the sight of light through your presence brought about,
I wish to journey again, as no time has ever dared to pass,
caressing the dew drops of friendship that never passed,
as my soul environs itself with you, like walk of our yore.

May you keep making the you.
And keep the you you make.

The you that has you embarked on,
Places, may that you take you.

May you dare to dream the you.
And may you care to meet that you.

May you share all thats you,
For I am not just me alone.

May you too always have for you,
The you that I always do.

the gush of the winds.

the sounds I could see-

as many

as the colors of my companions.

My last flight with the butterflies.

many a dreams, there within the fears,
hope inextinguishable, smiles plenty, tears,
corners of guilt, moments of pleasures,
harbouring feelings, evolving thoughts.
All that it holds, all that it bears.
Forgetful and rude, yet honestly in love.
Noises abounds, only to be masked by confusions,
questions of what and why,
simplified to when, where and how.
Does it really know? Memories past mould thus.
Being a fool that is, in love and thought,
all it knows, flies like the beautiful dove,
pretending to know its home,
yet conflicts itself to a dark abyss.
A tumbler of paradoxes, continuously learning,
shocking truths and mundane facts,
impressions indelible, of fury and anger,
and apathy unlike any.
Truly revealing itself, tentatively, surely.
Will the valued mates hold?
In the moment it cares nought, trusts in love.
Truly in love, it lets itself go.
It cares not to show nor say, all left
to something never seen nor known.
While the sun rises, it hears chimes of delight,
illuminating only the best feelings.
It is truly itself, like a sonata on strings,
the tender heart, open to be hurt and hurt.
Believing naively, in the magic of love.

I also felt like thanking a few people for a few of the things they have blessed me with,
punch for all the love he gives to everyone around him in a way that only he can. Also for teaching the beauty of writing something for oneself.
uc for making me feel better about myself whenever I am down in the darkest dungeons. Also for understanding me without me having to ever explain myself.
ringo for making me laugh without fail and sharing wonderful music which sometimes is the only thing that makes me feel alive.
manu aka Manohar Reddy for always encouraging me to do whatever I feel like, for understanding, supporting and defending me amidst hostile people.
Devika and Deepika for teaching me so much about life even while they are just little kids to me.
phodu aka Nitin Sen for inspiring me in ways, which I hope to tell the world someday.
budhia aka Shantanu Maheshwari for the simple talks we’ve had and for listening me crib, the only time I remember cribbing since my school days.
uncle for the excitement, which he generously infects everyone around him with.
9 for just being here.
Gayatri akka for showing the power of love, persuasion and persistence by continuing to try to talk to me despite my refusal to talk to her for 5 years.
Pranesh for showing me through example to look beyond what is on the surface and that listening to your heart is not universally applicable.

PS: These are just acknowledging a fraction of the people for a fraction of what they mean to me. I cannot be exhaustive, I am afraid.

Yes, it might be unfair to judge these greats, or even compare these two different personalities, based on this or, probably, anything else. But I think what we can certainly try to do is – draw parallels between the popularities, of not just theirs, but, may be, of the two different streams they are from, to see if we can spot a trend or two.

I think it would not be wrong to assume that the following for technology has gone up many folds, in general. Or, technology has become mainstream, can we say? For a long while now, it has been commonplace for people to eagerly wait for the release of a new music album, a movie, or such sorts. But, off-late, we are witnessing a lot of hype building up, amongst the masses, before a product/feature release/upgrade, and lot of noise coming across after it. Like it has been with music and movies, people are following the previews and reviews closely. Everyone reads and understands product specifications now, and out of interest. They keep updating themselves with information about various products, not just when they are looking to buy some stuff. That is, people are not just being consumers of information technology, but of technology information too. And, magazines, blogs and other media sources, channelling such information, doing incredibly well, getting their share of popularity, stand testimony. There is a sense of enthusiasm in this following, much like that shown by movie-buffs and music-lovers. At times, there is a sense of religiousness too, for there are fan-boys for products and brands, and fans of rival brands are set up against each other, like how it has been in South India, with the film stars. Over the years, brands have been using film stars to promote their brands. Now, film-makers are looking the tech-industry way for stories. The Social Network movie was hugely watched all over. Sony Pictures, reportedly, is shelling out millions to acquire film-adaptation rights for a Steve Jobs biography. We’ve seen fans being happy if their idol’s movie made record collections in the first week, et al. Recently, I’ve seen people sharing the news, that Apple reached a million orders within 24 hours of throwing the bookings for iPhone 4S open, with happy smileys, over the social-networks.

Overall, can we say that tech-stuff is the new movies and Apple is the new Rajnikanth? Rajnikanth sir, only if you wont…. mind it!
