Engineer/Artist/Magician.. what do I call Him?
Prologue: Once upon a time, Someone mysterious once created a Magic lens and an enormous, endless Painting. They were both so marvellous & magnificent that, everyone who possessed the magic lens spent their lives looking at the enormous painting through the lens, all through their lives, spellbound! So profound was the magic of the lens that, none who lived could decipher the painting for what it was,... for it was ever changing. In no two instances, it looked alike to a person or to no two living people!
One day, a little girl slept on the terrace of her house, beside her father, with his hand conveniently stretched out under her tiny head & her little arms embracing him. She lay there, gazing at the endless sky, for the natural curiosity of childhood is unending. The stars seemed wonderful to her. She kept staring for a long time at those tiny sparkles that spread across the clear dark sky. Thousands of questions swam through her tiny head. She slowly turned to her dad & innocently asked, "where do stars go during the day for they are no where to be seen?!" What her dad told her,.. is rather obvious. She only half understood. She lay silently, still gazing, and trying to contemplate. She soon fell asleep.
Yet another day, the girl sat in the window seat on a train (which was her favorite), after a quarrel with her mother for that seat. She was exhilarated having got what she wanted! She, sat facing the window, looking outside, eager to see the all what she could. Soon she forgot the world inside. Another train passed by hers, going in the opposite direction. The speed thrilled her. Immediately she sprang to her dad and complained.. 'I want to travel in that train.. It is very fast! Our train is a useless one! Lets take a train as fast as the one which just went by!':)) With an affectionate smile, her dad patiently tried to convince 'Ours is a superfast & the one u just saw is just a passenger. Ours is much faster!'. The girl wouldn't believe... for she just witnessed that the speed was breath-taking. Little did she know the physics behind it that day!!
Time has changed.
The young lady didn't lose her enthusiasm about the world outside... She constantly looked at the outside world & was amazed. The world looked vivid & scintillating. It was ever changing. She couldn't stop admiring the beauty. All the beauty reflected back on her heart like a mirror. The reflections were very subtle. Sometimes they produced a photo negative. A variety of emotions 'rose' inside her, with every passing day. She was lost in them.
Little does she realize that she is STILL sitting in a train & gazing at the skies! Simple physics is sometimes, life's deepest philosophy!

Moved to a new 'sound-proof' home..
... a 'private' sanctum, I can say.
I 'hear'by relieve you from all(atleast much of) the noise. Make your own now.

The mind machine
I rise, I dive ..
I move or I am moved ..
I change ..
eternally!
Pity!.. my heart always yearns for that place.. that dream!
I have lived a several lives.
Or perhaps, the same life was lived my 'the many in me'.
The ball had to be passed..
For change is the only constant.
I moved or I was kicked.
I felt nostalgic.
I only yearned to return to the 'dreamland' - my home place.... where I belong!
I dream of a that perfect day,
when the world is exactly as small as I created,
.. and that lovely dream I painted,
in vivid colors that hypnotize me,
every step I take away from it,
I burn deep within me.
Here is my mind machine,
taking me to a very new world,
and I make a startling discovery,
of a newer me,
of whom I never knew,
each time!
Yet my dreams take me very far,
N I am lost in searching my path,
to the land of those dreams.
Lost in a limbo..
or caught in an eternal trap
in a web of dreams
To time,
I surrender.
Thus I do not fail.
For I know, this is a state machine,
in which i am eternally trapped..
no matter where it takes,
all the paths lead to my dream.
A dream leads to a dream!
H here I am,..
after I took a deep dive into the rabbit hole ;)..
still diving ;)
and I will live my dream where ever I am transported!
All this said,
Laziness.. my most prevalent state.... never fails to return..
(Inspired by the Markov chain poem (absolutely love it). Giving u the entire list so that u can enjoy too:))

The perfect world
I proclaim:
The world is my creation!
I am a proud GOD!
And I dream of the day,
when the world is exactly as small as I created.
How far is it?

And I dream of the day,

Little things that piss me off!! - Tag..
Little things that piss me off!! - Tag..
Tag??? It took a while to understand.. It took a little 'research (oh just search in my frens blogs) to understand this concept..
Some guy got this 'tag' and found it interesting... But ... he passed it on to our Miss Geetu.. n she passed it on to me..!!
1. My alarm sound..
2. seeing exactly what i dontt want to see when i look into a mirror (not finding a shirt of my size)
3. Having to attend a meeting when it is raining outside
4. Getting pissed off for having to stay in a place like that I am currently staying & still staying in the place.
5. slow loading pages..
6. My inaction despite the storms inside
7. People taking me for granted and more - me not standing up for myself
and many more..

Awesome Mausam ... these days!
Rain! what a wonderful feeling!
Little drizzles to huge downpours.. everything is a poetic substance...designed to move hearts.
Blore skies always amaze me. Not very rarely does it start to drizzle.. and I am lost. I feel like a poetess devoid of poetry. The child in me wakes up and lulls everything else to sleep. Excitement runs thro my veins..I look at the skies and my heart soars. The grown up in me resists and looks for isolation where the child inside can be set free. My fav song plays on the back of my mind... 'Rain drops and dance..., a strange kind of romance...'
Glass attracts me and I get pulled to the windows, from my mundane desk, and I am already enchanted by what lies beyond..I yearn to breathe the damp air and smell the mud.
Where there should have been a poetess, now stands a loser wondering how she can bring forth the non-existent poetry.. in an effort to capture the ecstasy of the moment in words that last.

Like a student who longs for the evening bell, I wait for that opportune moment when I can safely leave office,.. get on my bike and drench myself in the magic! I don't remember anything else thereafter.

Tears
"But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit."
(William Shakespeare, "The Merchant of Venice")
Finally.. my financial independence surpassed all my apprehensions towards expensive price tags. The color was what struck me.. It was amazing, strikingly different from all those I had! I am not sure whether it was an impulse..I had to buy!
My quick fingers already pushed the thing into my 'trial' lot,.. and a warning shot.. from inside. I unsafely ignored. I knew it was going to be my costliest buy.. I give a damn to what 'BRANDNAME' the label contained. But, it was going to empty my wallet. It did!
I looked into the mirror. Sigh! Good things already stopped fitting me :( It was very obvious. I was 'torturing' it beyond its elastic limits. And I was going to do that everyday. It only yielded. You should understand, the pleasure of wearing it was never sadistic.
And then it went, .. into the washing lot. It cried! Only, the tears were blue.
My Jeans cried Blue.
It lay alone for a long while, hanging on a rope outside, under hot scorching summer sun, and it cried until all its tears dried and there were no more tears left to come. I left it there, hoping that someday it would understand.
It looked alien and strangely unfamiliar. It looked pale, weak and detached. I was in love and it was still beautiful to me. And so,.. it had to endure the pain again and yet again. It just yielded and acquiesced to the 'enormous' deformative and distortive forces. It never actually understood, - that the pleasure of wearing it was never sadistic.
It cried out all its beauty. It BLED BLUE ... until... it became devoid of all its beauty! :(
Now what?
“Well, the tragedy is over. The failure is complete. I turn my head and go away. I took my share in this fight for the impossible.”
(Albert Camus)
Found this after googling: (wash after 30 days?!*&%$# Kill me!)
"Levi's recently introduced a line of jeans that promise control over the break-in and fading process over a very short period of time. They're called Imprint jeans and Levi's is offering the fabric as an option on their Slim Straight 514's in the US (additional cuts available overseas). Basically you wear them for as long as possible before the first wash (about 30 days) and during that time, the jeans "imprint" to your body. When you wash them in hot water they fade at an increased pace.
Once you get them looking how you want, you only wash them in cold water to prolong the look. Check out the pic above of the progression over 120 days. Priced at around $75, we think Levi's has a winner on their hands."
