Yesterday, today and tomorrow

It only seems like yesterday
That a small town guy moved to a new town with parents
In search of a life
He learnt new languages, aspired for new dreams and dreamt a new life

The dream has come true
Today he has all that he desired for then and a bit more.
The more is somewhat pleasant and a lot unpleasant
The more has brought him problems he never dreamt of while dreaming his dreams

Today the small boy is a success story in his own right
He has gazes sizing him when he passes the road on two legs or car
But he isn't happy
The insecurities of yesterday have bloomed to be the Judas tree
Tempting to expose and ruin everything in moments

Today life is so loveless
Love is a mirage, a shadow that mocks him through day and night
Provoking him to venture forbidden alleys
Only to be left more hungry, more thirsty and more desperate
Sometimes he wonders if there is anything called love or is it just lust dripping from everywhere?
He loves hard and yet hardly is rewarded with any reciprocation
His rose like heart resembles a cactus tree devoid of the bright red flowers of innocence
He is dying for a drop of love from the ones he longs to be loved by
To be caressed and cherished by the hands he so wants to behold
But the disappear just the ghosts in the morning sunrise
And he is left pining for more
Like an unpaid debt that only increases through unpaid interests

Tomorrow is a dread
Another day of being normal and trying to blend in a crowd that doesn't exist
The crowd is actually the ghost
That haunts him everywhere making him do things he stopped desiring long a go
He longs for love and intimacy
He longs for those kisses that touch your soul
He longs for a lovemaking that makes you feel that the life is worth dying for
But alas! All he is left with is desires and dreams that he dreadfully admires
And dies a little everyday in pursuit of them

Will there be that mysterious woman ever?
Who taunts his semiconscious state always
With promises of a union that will free him from the cycle of life and death
And make him feel floating in the river of ecstacy
He is not happy to be born a human
He would be happy to be anything but a mortal man
For his thoughts and desires torment him forever
Making him believe that tomorrow will be better than today just by holding on a little more

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years.  Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...
