Oh, the pain of being the moon..to stand upto the scorching sun all day, all night, to take in its pounding heat, to painfully sift through its harsh rays with scarred fingers, bearing the brunt of its heat on the lands now beaten barren, and pick the coolest, purest rays, and wear them on its smiling angelic face, so that the life that dwells in darkness does not know what the despair of night is.
Look up, you awe-struck people, and see not the scars left behind by the ravishing sunlight. Admire it from far, for you cannot fathom the pain of being the glorious moon..musing ravishly, mesmerizing eyes.

[Its prose, but the spirit is poetry-based]

A famous Bengali poet Sukanta Bhattacharya wrote once "Chaand jeno money hoy jholsano rooti" (the moon looks like a well baked chapati) (incidentally Sukanto had a very similar fate to Van Gogh and Robert Browning - his poetry was ahead of his times and by the time people started appreciating him, he was dead at the age of 32).

Anyways when Sukanto compares the moon to the daily bread while you wax eloquent, neither of you can be blamed. Both of you are following Maslow's laws of hierarchy needs.

VS -> you beat the envisonment for all the philosophy imposed here. I really like your thinking, where you went beyond what is quite visible and see the pain and the effort to make it happen. Its not really poetic but is fun to read you sometime.
DDLJ -> I know your maslow is creating a misery for you..keep scoring.
Seema -> I liked your poetic/rhythmic sense to take a new direction :)

Zoom up on your energy Each person carries with him/her a persona, which is very unique to the person. And this persona is nothing but your energy zone which gets impacted also by the people, you are with. Did you realize somedays, we are too low on energy and other days are normal or high energy? I recently read an article on the same and it described that everytime you are with people (which is all the time :-D), they start to draw from your energy or you start drawing on theirs, depending on where the source is high (Source fills to the sink ..the physics principle). It examplified the same with the scenarion that, if you are sitting with a person, who is continuosly yamning (he/she is low in energy at that moment) and shall start sapping on your energy, till the time you split from that meeting your own energy levels would have gone down from before. Its a very interesting phenomenon to understand reiki and meditations are all based on the same principle. We are all sources of ene

Am I Your FRIEND ?

One of my best friend shared it with me this morning and i liked an interesting conversation which followed and I wanted it at my blog too, so here it is :) I AM not your friend if..... you have to think before you speak to me! I am not your friend if..... my presence ever makes you feel uncomfortable! I am not your friend if..... you have to thank me for everything i do for you! I am not your friend if..... you have to say sorry for everything that you don't do! I am not your friend if..... you have to ask me for favors! I am not your friend if..... you think i would not be curious to know your new philosophy of life! I am not your friend if..... you go by what i say and do not understand what i don't say! I am not your friend if..... you think that listening to your dreams would put me to sleep! I am not your friend if..... you think that seeing you in pain, would not bring a tear to me! I am not your friend if..... you think I do not remember the first time we met! I am not

All That Jazz

I was just catching up on with some friends recently and Ankit quoted on my dance classes. And I quipped to him that I need to write a blog for that. More so it was an excuse for taking time out which I had been avoiding for a long time for a lot of work load around. To an extent I didnt miss my blog for I kept writing in one way or the other :) I havent left my dance school as yet..and I hope not to do so as well. Its been a long time I have been with them and over these years I have learnt a lot ..a little more than just dance and it helped me overall. I learnt patience ...you dont get things in one shot ..yet you have to keep striving for it..keep on finding what works for you and once you do ..try for even higher..can u do yet better than that. I was commenting to Ashu (at work) that there was a time I wanted to be able to address a group of people as a good communicator and not only a communicator I wanted to hold their attention till the time I was talking and I didnt have it in
