Myriad Melded Musings!

A cup of tea can do so much With dancing swirls of haze It brings us closer, helps us cheer And introspect and gaze... We have our wishes one so many Some live on, others fray Yet all that matters most to us We seldom ever say The eyes speak what the lips can't say And sometimes even more They travel oceans' depths for you While keeping you on shore.. We call ourselves brave warriors And dreamers of all dreams Daring to think what others don't By solitary streams; You are my best and truest friend, So close as you can be, On whom I can forever depend Cuz you're so much so like me. Pray read to me a verse or two Simple and yet heartfelt That soothes this restlessness within And makes anxiety melt Regimental pelicans in flight Wipe clouds and leave no trace Whats left behind is a night so bright Spilling moonlight on her face I wonder why the night sky holds To us a lasting charm It twinkles and smiles back at us And then gives way to morn In vain attempts to break all chains Just so one can be free One binds the mind with cords so harsh And fails to let it be

We cherish moments of reason And those sans sanity; Tis fragments such as these of which Dreams all humanity Oft silence has the loudest noise And actions mean the least The deeds, they fade into the night Quiet lingers in the mist Despite the constant race with time With life and death akin We hope to soar up to our best Like kites against the wind We venture into galaxies And hoist flags to our pride Yet the bravest place for one to stand Is by the other's side I may not build you mountains high Or catch a rainbow fair, But let me be what means so much, A friend that spares no care The sun with all its orange glow Is a gift for one to prize It makes one see so vividly In the shadows of the eyes As night falls and darkness looms I close my eyes and pray That you will still be by my side At the dewy break of day. Truth with all its strength and grace Has spiteful clarity But its one's own perception that makes His life's reality Quit looking all around yourselves In search of paradise And take a peek inside your heart For that's where Eden lies

Lines of FRIENDSHIP

What warms the soul, what cheers the heart,
Is FRIENDSHIP'S renovating tie;
Yes this can social joy impart,
And wipe the tear from sorrow's eye.

FRIENSHIP'S is what we all admire;
Yet often nothing but a name;
Will kindle, burn and soon expire,
Just like a meteor's empty flame.

Where real FRIENSHIP is possessed,
It's a blessing to mankind,
It soothes affliction's troubled heart,
And elevates the sinking mind.

Thus private friends who dwell in love,
Are taught to feel another's woe,
To raise their thoughts on things above,
And live in FRIENDSHIP here below.

Drifting ahead...

A few months ago, by chance we met
And since then, has my mind been set
If there ever has been a heart so pure
It has to be you, my friend, I'm sure

You see in me, that which is me
You see my flaws...oh so it be
You accept me for who I am
You urge me into what I can

When I am happy, you are part of it
And sing along, as together we sit
When I am lost, you show me my way
And soon enough, are my cares at bay

I speak to you, of joys and worries
Moments from which my heart scurries
You listen to me, eye, nose and ear
That which none else can hear

With you I'm at home, I'm at peace
Trust in you, it comes with ease
In you I see a pal, a friend
For you I wish the paths ne'er bend

Your faith in me is like the ocean
Oh so deep…beyond imagination
You let me be oh so free
Like the waves, out in the sea

You chose me, among the so-many
As the one privileged of your company
Thus, hand in hand we walk
And dance a step, and talk the talk

As inseparable as we are
Be us near or be us far...

To you, For being YOU

I think that I have found
Upon this wondrous ground
A friend for life, a love
Who is a touch above

Life's mediocrities
That blow in different seas
These special ones on earth
Who've been that way since birth

They touch lightly your heart
And never must you part,
For when you see their eyes
There can be no good-byes

So walk this way with me
Along this pathway free,
I shall not bind or tie
Our love or it would die

Just for you...

People come and people go,

In and out of your life and so,

When one shines bright among the rest,

And is there when needed, you're truly blessed.

That is how I see you, friend of mine,

And why I'm sending this Valentine.

I look at the mirror, and this is what I see

It sure is difficult to begin writing about myself, as I have never done this before.
But then, I suppose one ought to know something about every blogger.

Since I am not quite sure about what you are expecting out of this, I will put it my way...

To start off with, I, like most others, believe a lot on my instincts. In fact, I have gone a little further, up to the point of beginning to trust my instinct.. now thats not as easy as it appears to be.

In my world, people are all that matter. To describe myself, I would - almost always - have to describe myself in conjunct with another. My behaviour varies from person to person. And each human is invariably categorized by me as one of:
- An acquaintance
- An inspiration
- A dream
- A potential friend (who eventually does become one)
OR
- A nemesis (a very strong word, I know. But, weeell..how do I put it..a negative factor in my life. Yea..that sounds more like it !)

Acquaintances . So many!! What more can I say ? You meet some, and whether you remember them or not, there you are! You still have 1 more person added to your so-called account.

Inspirations.. Oh yea.. there are those whom I so much admire - for reasons of my own, of course!

My dream... well, there is upto now, only 1 person that fits in here...
She also happens to be a friend but definitely NOT my inspiration...there are many things about her that I dislike. Yet, she has that something which I would love to have more of, and more importantly, she can flaunt it so very well. Now what is this, you may ask. Freedom. I yearn for it.. I thrive on it.. Speaking of which, I have all the freedom in the world. The problem is, I just don't know how to excercise this freedom ! And I believe, the only person I can learn this from, is my Dream.

Confused? Frankly, that was the idea !

My friends... few, but solid. They are just another me! But believe me, each of my friends is so very different from the other and also from me. Yet, we bond. These are those persons to whom I do not have to explain anything - no excuses needed, no apologies, bla bla bla... I simply can be "at home" with them. When it comes to me with these persons, life is very simple. Everything is as it appears. I am so glad about that. I can begin where I want and stop when I feel like. They accept me as I am and vice-versa. Well, how do I make such friends? Mostly by instinct (which is kinda at first sight), or due to constant interaction, which eventually leads to something very pukka, so to speak. I can be snobbish with them if I feel like, I can play all the pranks I like (which I can play on ONLY them), I can be the kindest, I can throw tantrums(which I do take pleasure in), I can be my best, I can even lie (soon enough I would blurt out the truth, of course), I can even be a no-good-listener...but somehow, it does not really matter.

During every phase of my relation with any person I have come across, I have observed that apart from instinct, what drives me towards any decent and healthy relationship, is my freedom with the person. It is how free I am with her/him..

And yea, I have my own sweet ambitions...everyone does ! No big deal !

By now, you probably would be wondering (that is if you were paying any attention at all), whatever happened to my Nemesis? So, to answer you, I say, I choose NOT to discuss that..

Coming back to me (again), I am a romantic at heart. I like imagining and visualising (not always the best of things to do, you know). But when it comes to imagining the tangible (doesn't that qualify to be a paradox ?), there goes my imagination for a toss !! Ironically, logic appeals to me. I believe that the world cannot survive without a little bit of logical imagination (but I wouldn't say vice-versa here... imaginary logic ....SCARY )
Talking of logic reminds me of math. I just LOVE math !!!! Well, not exactly the theorems and stuff, just plain simple arithmetic and algebra fascinate me !
Sudoku and puzzles too are my idea of entertainment.

Whooaa !! Till now I have only been ranting about some philosophy AND about the stuff I like.

But guess what !! There are tons of things I dislike ...
Starting with BRINJAL (or eggplant for those who wish to grasp the English in the US).... cannot tolerate the mere presence of this vegetable !!
Next, it would be bossy people. Hey, what the heck, get off my face ! Many of my dislikes circle around such "bossy people".Oh, by the way, I would like to add hypocricy to my hate-list too, but I can be the biggest hypocrite myself !! So, you cannot really trust me on that one...

Oh boy...am I tired or what !!
I guess I can continue..but then, aren't you bored by now ?

The Beginning...

I look around, I see faces everywhere
Some smiling, some with tears
Some shy, some in awe
Some free, some with cares
Some thinking, and some that stare

I ask myself... "What do the faces hide ?"
A longing to be seen
A desire to be felt
A thrill for the unknown
A heart ready to melt

And then I see her, drifting above all...
Like a god that gives
And knows nothing else
She is waiting for me
Her arms outstretched

The beginning ends... I found my friend
We talk and talk
It feels so good
She knows me
Like I know myself

The puzzle must be solved, the end must begin..
With a dream in my eyes
And hope in my heart
I set out again
This time, in search of me...
