This is a special post, because it contains a special piece :) i wrote something on paper after a very long time... And i just thought i'd put it up as my blog is anyway suffering from lack of proper posts...
Before that... My cousins, who were in town for the past 2 months are leaving in a few hours... getting back to their routines...getting pulled back by duty. Its been such a lovely phase in my life...so much... i don't know... just felt so complete! Not a single idle moment...nothing really worrying... just something new to do everyday, and so much fun...so much colour... so much laughing and horsing around and doing alot of nothings but being so glad about it! Its this wierd 'sisterly' feeling! That i haven't really experienced before...i know it sounds so cheesy.. but hell, what are blogs for! So... Sanjana, and sandhya... Farewell! And just to suit the mood thats been floating at home for the past week cuz of the Kabhi alvida na kehna songs.... ALVIDA! Love you guys...And waiting for next year july! :D
This post... maybe just a series of questions to some of you, may mean more to others... may be loads of 'can you?'s to a few, and 'will you?'s to others...read it the way you want it.
I don't believe in the existence or non-existence of ability,
But in the willingness to do, or not to do something.
--an admirable killer line from... a friend.
VEILED
Can you take a moment, complete with ethereal happiness, and make it a lifetime's solace?
Can you accustom yourself to echoes and shadows, and places overflowing with emptiness and accept them for company, comfort?
Can you dwell in pretences, and trust in illusions, and be satisfied with lies that make you laugh?
Can you let the ship of life by stirred by the gales of time, and move effortlessly in that direction?
Can you live through a plethora of failures, and live to face the next improbability of success, still to name it 'experience'?
Can you grace undying punishment in your heart to fulfil sweet vengeance?
Can you stare at atrocity in the eye, and walk past unmoved, for the love of your own soul?
Can you smile through helplessness, and stand like a fortress, when the world within you crumbles?
Can you preach to others, what you don't believe in, just to see a hint of a smile?
Can you fill the unforgiving minute with a lifetime's worth memory, and hold it in your fist till the end of this odyssey?
Can you relinquish your pride in the face of simplicity, and lose it forever, in tender benevolence?
Can you kill the expectation in you, and distance it from your blessed being, so that you hardly ever experience insatiability, disappointment, pain...?
Can you mutter a world of hope in a silent prayer, and patiently await fate's judgement, the call of God?
Can you bear to see your dream shattered...but pick up its pieces and build a bigger one with resigned involvment?
Can you refuse to accept the death of a bond, and live on in belief of its revival one fine day?
Can you give, unconditionally...with no returns, no regrets, no complaints...only overwhelming joy, only eternal love?
Will you allow the breeze to carry your burden away...
Will you smile at the rainbow after the storm...
Will you appreciate blue skies when in pain...
Will you find melody where there is no music
Music where there's no harmony,
Harmonywhere there's no rhythm,
Rhythm where there's no symphony,
Symphony where there's no ode,
Ode where there's no joy,
Joy where there's no hope,
Hope where there's no pain,
Pain where there's no reason,
Reason where there's no heart,
Heart where there's no... Life?

yes we can comment, ;)
nice post haan ,lng time since u wrote some kinda poem na,bk wid a bang i suppose
2 many can's na , wish we can do a lot of those "can's" , but then the "cant factor" predominates more often in real life
is it d "Cank" effect,sry i mean the "kank "effect ,kidding
:)
Lol sand... definitely not the Kank effect! But there effect of a lot more things that have happened/are happening/are goin to happen soon... :D N ofcourse, its been so long since i wrote anything, that it made me feel like i bunked college to write this! lol... anyway, CAN't say more!
:-)..."yes", to a few of the "can you's", "no" to a few more , and "i wish i could" to a few others...nice one...and a warning note:im going to plagerise this piece in a lot of ways...thanks...
lav - u goin to plagiarise? lol... thats an honour indeed! ;-) But do let me when n how u're goin to plagiarise... :D so that i can support it!
that was a reallllly nice post..did u actually rite it urself??well...i have no idea to a few of the can u's..and i guess no to few of the others...maybe to the others..but yes...to a very few...
suk - :) thanks. Umm... i did actually right it...:D And yeah, i guess for everyone it'll be yes to a few... n 'i already do it' for others... n 'i don't know' for others... lol... these questions aren really meant to be answered... they're just... questions!
*write
hmmm...ya i gues...but interesting ques. to ponder upon..
"an admirable killer line from... a friend."
3 dots before friend makes me raise my eyebrow!
But it is a killer line. I agree
ignoramus - of course we know where your devious mind might have wandered ;-) N maybe i shall allow it to do so... lol. A friend, thats it! Actually... the friend, has commented :D
I loved the line.
suk - interesting? i dont know... but ponder, yes, definitely..
divs,
its actuallu tough to comment on this post.. someth that can be just read and savoured ... and thats it...actually..the killer line's idea is mentioned in
"Zen and the art fo motorcycle maintainance"
with all due credit to your...friend but the line looks original though..
and who is this friend of yours capable of coming up with such amazing thoughts..
your poem is amazing and i always hated u for it..for me the answer for all of them is no..
the answer no for me defines the existance or non existance of "human nature" and i guess we all spend a lifetime trying to answer these in the affirmative..
Sathya - Thanks :) well... do we really spend a lifetime trying to answer those questions in the affirmative? I do believe that we DO actually do a few of those things... in certain situations...willingly, or unwillingly. But a majority... yeah, hard to say a 'yes'. And abt that line...it was said in a very original way... so i consider it original... n more than being just said, it was said at the right time, in the right situation! So, it hit me harder :) Seemed perfect at that time.
And who is this friend of mine? Want to play a guessing game sir? ;-)
How kind of u !
Btw, great matches this weekend(EPL), which of course i'll be watching. :-B
ignoramus - My kindness has finally been realised by the miserly :)

Oh ya! That's a quick way gtting news. Once in 3(if lucky) days!!
p.s.- ManU struggled! :-B
ignoramus - ya, its quick :D thats why i asked u... ManU struggled huh? no big deal... they still won! n i din watch the match anyway... :(
time to update??
suk - ya i guess :) will do... been having exams!
ohh..minez starting on the 11th...arghh i hate exams..and the revision tests before them!

You've done it again! Another EXTREMELY thought provoking piece! I loved this bit the best-est [:P]
"Music where there's no harmony,
Harmonywhere there's no rhythm,
Rhythm where there's no symphony,
Symphony where there's no ode,
Ode where there's no joy,
Joy where there's no hope,
Hope where there's no pain,
Pain where there's no reason,
Reason where there's no heart,
Heart where there's no... Life?"
