simple is divine

simple is divine -So it goes
Not all questions have answers they say
Have only one teacher in my soul
Look and you shall see - the truth
Don't distract the mind from its goal

Don't complicate me , simple is divine
I am an empty cup , that'll be filled in time
Guided by only passion and truth -
is what i want to be

At night, I hear the whistling winds and you call out to me
Don't get any closer or I shall have to leave
If i choose to stay , I'll die silently

Caged by agony and conditional lies
I don't want to be that guy
An open prayer and not a silent song am I

Broken and plundered by the promises of time
Don't get any closer or I shall have to leave
In search of truth and truth only am I
You truly love only once in life
Everything hence ...a compromise.
simple is divine

It's Complicated

The world says ..it cannot be ....
but i do believe in fantasy

For what is a man without hope ?
She's the sacred spirit that guides my soul.

The world may laugh ...
call me an idealistic fool ..
"she's not for real " they say ..
"it'll never be" .....


She's an answer to my prayers
but an idealistic notion to naysayers

whatever the feeling i do not know
she makes me grow .. gives me life ...
love and compassion when i have none to find.

The sum total of all i hold dear ..that's her ...
Wherever i may be ..she'll follow me .


Everyday this bond i share ...grows stronger
out of the struggles of day -to-day life
Nothing life can bring can surprise me
As long as she is near... i'll be me.

My heart says ..i do not deserve her
I do not deserve a feeling so pure...
Trapped in the world of insanity
She is all i have ... and that's enough for me.

She makes me grow stronger everyday
i'll say it once?... i'll say it clear ...
I think i love you ..my dear
Wish i never lose this feeling ..
That's all i have to say ...tonight.

systemised

Running away ..
but you got a debt to pay ...
if not today ..it'll swallow you whole some day ...
Crashed and burned ..
broken down...stop the rewind...
don't let it take your mind.. accept the grind
engulfed by darkness ... desperate search for light
don't rewind ... the alley is blind
where shadows congregate ...
where the mind has ceased ...
rest in peace.

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

The cold November rain brings with it a promise ..a refreshing air ...As if , Nature soothing us to coax us out of our self imposed shackles.

Imagine all the things you wanted to be ...dreamt of being when young...when your heart and mind weren't restrained by surroundings and the world as you knew it then was still a mysterious place ....one brimming with opportunity ...and there was an exciting fear about every new day ...a strange happiness out of not knowing ...not worrying about what the future might bring .. and what vocation you are best suited for .... a time when you didn't feel burdened with the weight of responsibilities .... when you knew that you were special... and unique... and you had a destiny ... your path had been chosen .... drawn out for you.... and everything would fall into line ... cause you believed... cause you trusted in yourself... everything would work out fine .


Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone


That my friends.. is greatness... that unbridled enthusiasm ..that joy of living. that thrill of adventure of what the future would bring. Yes , our souls were great once ....cause we had that passion for living ....
We were great once.... Can we not be great again ?

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

We need not be shackled by the vagaries of our surroundings ..the filth and distrust which society has inhibited us with . Cause we are special and are the masters of our own destinies.


Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Botticelli Angel

Like cherry cakes and milkshakes...
My Botticelli angel ... Like the flowing waters of rivulets
you carry me to distant shores
And keep me longing for more...


Like flowers and sunshine ..
I am afraid to call you mine
The genie that purged my soul
And purified me to the core

Yet I do know...that wherever I may be ..
Your memory will comfort me ..
This has been long due..
Ever since the essence of you I knew ...
We help the other when one sighs
Let it be so ... for now ...
and forever more..


========================================

part plagiarized from "before sunrise"

I have meaning to fill this place with some more of my pseudo intellectual inconsequential ramblings for a while now ... but as with any that's well written ......... it has to come as a spurt and without cause... a moment of inexplicable propulsion into the stratosphere of meaning..... i wait for that moment.
I am being compelled to accept the conclusion that luck plays a major part in life. If something good and worthwhile has to happen it'll just happen ....something that would bring one unprecedented amounts of joy and happiness ....... then it would just happen !! As dumb as that may sound ... this in fact is the truth . Goodness happens out of the blue . (Yes, right , this is dumb ..... but the truth ).

WE(and by we ,I mean I ) tend to over-think things ..over complicate simple matters ..... which need not be treated and thought about more than their face value deserves... Most times ..things are indeed .... what they look like ... Think in real terms more .... keep things simple.

Traveling has an important role to play in our lives . The more we travel and get acquainted with different cultures ... the more we enrich our own characters. The changing landscapes ... and the expanding social boundaries impart a lot of strength to anyone's character ... hmm.... i wait. signing off. :-)

Clueless

These vague strings are pulling me ...
The sound of silence is magnified ...
Negativity is being amplified...
The dearth of common sense is astounding
Silence is resounding ...
The pleasure in the pain is compounding ..
The hollowness and emptiness is confounding

The proximity to reality is blaring
The headlights of the past are glaring
I try to pull myself free... of responsibilities and history
They have a hold over me...
They won't let me be ..
Its a sad sight indeed... Where will this lead ?

The questions are many .. The answers too few ...
What will I form ... Which color ..what shape and hue ?
I don't have a clue ...
I need a little spark ... But it's raining too hard ...
The fire wont start ...

Soaking wet ... In reality ...
Clueless Indeed.

Troubled

Stop talking. Hypocrite .Stop wasting my time. Stop babbling. I wish I could blurt out an insult... Maybe that would make you stop. But then i'd feel bad.Stop talking.

Have you taken a look in the mirror ? I cant stand your sight.Look at you . Why did I get into this ? Why am I wasting my time with you ? Why am I here ?I am much rather better off ... with my thoughts ... Me alone.

Thoughts - weird,dangerous,disturbing,fantasizing - the likes...flowing through my head ..every moment of every day. I don't even think I'm sleeping when I'm asleep....I'm talkin to myself. That's psychotic .. Is it ?

Why do I like you people..one moment ...and then abhor you the next ?? Every action of mine is a self contradiction. Troubled.

Grandeur and the Grunge

Go back to where you belong
To days long gone
Simple times ... Simpler rhymes
Days when all would fall in line .
And there weren't any need to retrospect or
read any signs ..

The world ..it seems ... has turned to technology ,
I don't get this Ideology
Why would one want to get work done faster and fill the void ...
With more ... work ?? Where's the logic in this ?
Why cant we just kill time?

Don't you think that family values have taken a back seat ?
In an age when politics and religion are intertwined .
Sanity ...... has become a crime.
That's the grandeur and the grunge of modern times.

Better Late......

Don't let your circumstances get you down ..
Don't get affected by other people's mentality ... cause you can't change 'em
.........
Things take their time ....hold on
You can't change your destiny.... neither .....
shirk your responsibilities.
what's meant to happen........ will happen .
Don't think too much .... you can't change anything by thinking ...so stop.



Above are glimpses of conversations.... innuendoes ...... i've been fed over the past couple of days........
Whats new ? Nothing.
Actually worse than nothing.
People around me keep moving on.
Everyone... i seem to be talking with seems to be doing something ...
Something....
Changing.... Evolving ....
Nurturing .... dreams, hopes and aspirations and taking positive strides towards their fulfillment.

Yes,another semester has started in bong land .
Surrounded by an all too well known nepotistic bengali mentality .....accompanied with the rather new ... the rather dull... the rather unrealistic.... the rather vague......the rather unclear views of a so-called changing city ..and its political landscape.

The overawing feeling i get is that i am late ....I have missed the bus .
I did not do enough.Did not be true to my feelings and stand up for them enough when it was needed.I did not work hard enough . Think seriously enough ... Supported myself enough ...the list is endless.

I take longer to realise some things than others would.
My good friends will tell you i am an astoundingly horrible judge of people.
I am delusional...I am childish in many ways.... Too straight and emotional ...to be the one i aspire .... Mostly ..Above all.... I am always late....

Those voices again keep telling me ....

It's better late than never............

at this moment ... I feel ... I would better be dead than late...

Signing off...
