Buzzing and wiggling in the calm,
Nothing coming to a rest.
Chaos reigns the present.
Movement is riotous; replete with
unrest
There is no direction,
Growth is nonlineal, non-linear.
Inherent primal genius born.
Created has an order, with afterbirth in
cinder
Chaos breeds creation
Order pushes created
Evolving within chaos; expanding with order
Creation pushing created; Chaos and order
mated
Calming my breath to bring focus
at each step in front of me.
Not on the peak, not on the person ahead of me.
Just the next step is where my focus would be.
I look up and my head swims,
fear creeps up inside.
No amount of preparation seems enough
when the goal is in sight.
Fear starts to swell,
growing and it expands.
Legs shiver, feet tremble,
thoughts arrive in my mind.
Hues and tints
Yellow, orange, red
Each round I make
The palette condenses.
Mix of purple
Orange, reds, pinks
As minutes pass
The palette deepens
Unable to contain
Comes burst of colours
Boundaries being stretched
The palette is broken
For some wisdom is
being able to navigate life,
ensuring everything’s fine.
Skirting through troubles,
safeguarding their hearts,
shielding their minds,
from intensity.
Having found the least troublesome,
most secure methods,
is wisdom for nice.
Is it street-smartness?
To go down one and never detour,
collecting the discarded parts
in adjoining gutters? Continue reading
Dance – move rhythmically on a song or beat. Performing arts.
Dance – Movement of your body in respond to an emotion so strong that you are unable to control it within yourself.
Dance – After effect of Happiness leading to Euphoria!!
Dance is nothing but a form of expression through body. It is one of those rare things that leaves a person in a state of natural high ( not metaphorically but actually). Dancing does not mean doing choreographed steps on a song but it is any movement that is done when in an uncontrolled state. Continue reading
When someone’s college time reaches to an end , the first thing that comes into their mind is that “I am going to miss my friends or my hostel or my college etc etc blah blah..” But not me..
Its right that I won’t be living with my friends all day all night, I won’t be having those fun moments each day. Understood. But I don’t think that all of this is to grieve but to cherish forever.
As my final year of graduation is nearing its finish line , I don’t think about missing my friends but of far more fun moments that I am going to have with them and in my life . Continue reading
Remember those days of the new Potter Book(or movie) Release!!
Sleepless days and sleepless nights! Spoof versions of the story where probably you heard that Harry and Hermione got together and Ron was left alone. Or maybe that there are some explicit scenes in the book!Or even this ridiculous that Snape killed all-Dumbledore, Voldemort and Harry!
The excitement with which everyone waited. Discussions going on everywhere. Those days were awesome!
Now no more of Harry Potter trivia. No more of those Quidditch games on brooms or spell casting on friends and the effect on them!
But Harry Potter and his associates ( :D) continue to live in the hearts of all. Still reading the seven books again and again. Those endless hours of discussion when 2 fans come together, cribbing about the fact that the 7th movie ruined it all! No proper duel between Harry and Voldemort or Molly and Bellatrix :)
Now when I read those books again, I feel that Harry Potter has all those essential elements of life. It is probably the most “Philosophically humorous adventurous encaptivatingly light novel ” ever written. By far I have read many books. Many. But no book has the charm that Harry Potter created. Many authors have created a fantasy world, spiraling around intense and brilliant characters and an entwining plot. But Harry Potter has been the best in capturing the minds of people of all ages, sizes and , cultures. It is a book which every time read makes you feel WOW. Every time you read you find a new meaning. A new lesson. A New “fact” to brag about to other fans! :D
Now I think that Harry Potter has to be read atleast 3 times by any person.
1. The 1st time Harry Potter is read with a fascination- A ‘realistic fantasy’ so intricately woven by JK Rowling( Hats Off ma’am !! ) with excellent and ‘humanistic’ characters . Every animal, every plant, every human, every ghost, great hall, its stairs, common room, classes, DADA, Herbology, professors, Peaves, Filch, everything about it is incomparable and so perfectly crafted. You are blown by the adventures. You laugh until you fall off on your bed. You cry till your mother comes and asks you what happened and then after knowing the reason makes a face, calls you insane and leaves.:D
You are, in short, left encaptivated by the sheer brilliance of the plot.
2. The 2nd time you read it because you are not satisfied the first time. You want more if it. Since you already know the plot your attention goes to more subtle parts of it. More “facts”, more details. You start analyzing the characters and their characteristics. You are baffled by the genius of JKR. You wonder-“How could she have thought of such characters, such details.” WOW!
3. The 3rd time -you want to delve deeper into the secrets. You observe the philosophical angles. The brilliant lines of Dumbledore which you took as mere dialogues the 1st time. Now you take them as lessons for life.
“Curiosity is not a sin, Harry. However, from time to time, you should exercise caution“
“Do not pity the dead Harry, pity the living and for for all those who live without love.”
etc etc.
You realize that the whole book is full of these quotes and epic lines. Not only by Dumbledore or Voldemort-
“They never learn, such a pity”.
but by every character. Cleverly has JKR embellished the book with the most basic and the most important of such lessons WITHOUT making the book seem like a philosophy book!!
Some great funny parts like –
“Why were you lurking under our window?”
“Yes – yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy?”
“Listening to the news,” said Harry in a resigned voice.
His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.
“Listening to the news! Again?”
“Well, it changes every day, you see,” said Harry.”
( Sorry but I couldn’t avoid mentioning this part! I could probably type the entire book here :D )
Obvious but so so so funny!
After reading 3 times, the effect is unstoppable. You don’t leave any opportunity to read the books.
So the point that I am making is that JKR- I Love You and respect you. And your books are E.P.I.C.
The disparate liking
for the world around
knows no bound
born in ebullience
comes from a heart within
so pure so true
For mortals like me and
you….
