My Girl (a poem on the fickleness of creativity)



Creativity is my girl, who finds me in extreme seclusion.
She ignites the power of thought and becomes my inspiration.
It is tough to find her in all the noise that enshrouds me.
Like an envious girl, she awaits to encroach upon me.

She holds on to the hope to find me all alone.
Only wishing to make me her own.
Her passionate talk leaves a lonely trail behind.
A magical glance that keeps my mind intertwined.

Fickle at times but is the epitome of grace.
Blessing, as I consider her, I follow her trace.
She has a spark that drives me, to conquer this lifetime.
A promise for tomorrow, that becomes my sunshine.

Through periods of prolonged separation.
Sadly, the times, of extreme desperation.
With all the clutter in my mind, I seek her, running for miles.
A glimpse of that envious girl, who shies away with a smile.

I hope she hears me, and bring me back my existence.
She is the only reason, of my sincere persistence.
I hope she comes back to me and I know the day will come.
Waiting for that day, when the two would become one.

My love when you're with me you can't hide the shine.
Oh my envious girl, I know, you wish to be only mine.
My friends are my estate.

    Nice read... Like how you link something intangible to a person!

Scuba Diving 36 feet deep in Goa (Surreal but Nice!)

"Surreal but nice" that's what Hugh Grant's character managed to blurt out, mesmerized by the beauty of Julia Roberts (in the movie Notting Hill ). And this was the exact thought that was running in my mind as I was rising from a depth of over 35 feet under water in the Arabian Sea near Goa, India. I had just finished my first dive (rather second dive of my first dive) with grouper fish, tailor fish - and many more - knelt at the bottom of the ocean floor and touched a ship wreck that sunk more than sixty years ago! It was a surreal experience that has left me with a feeling of self-satisfaction as well as endless curiosity. The two feelings very rarely take a house together in my mind. Probably the last time they shacked up together was when I got an admit for my Master's from State University of New York . The feeling of gliding underwater among the fishes, water pressure trying to burst your ears drums, flying over huge boulders of rocks under sea; like an un...

The debate on Times Now Summit 2022 between Salman Khurshid, Dr. Vikram Sampath, Sai Deepak, and Pavan K Varma showed how disconnected the left, right, and the middle are from each other.  We all know these 'luminaries',  as Rahul Shivshankar, Editorial Director & Editor-in-Chief  @TimesNow introduces them.  How left and right  do not apply to Indian political viewpoints  is a matter for another time, therefore pardon my use of the western paradigm of left and right for the rest of this blog post. Times Now Debate, 2022 We all know Sai Deepak through his YouTube debate with  Asaduddin Owaisi  (Sai Deepak in fact moderated the debate) a few years back. And since then he has authored a couple of books on the historical context that surrounded the drafting of the constitution of India between 1946 to 1950. His first book on India, that is Bharat forced us to rethink colonialism and introduced an entirely distinct scholarly way to look at middle-e...
