BRAINWASHED

There's an ethereal process of brainwashing going on. Hidden from everyone, somewhere deep down in our sub-conscious it disperses. Do you know how people are brainwashed ? Repetition of something over and over. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. Power is good. Powerful is good. More commercialism is good. More of anything is good. Politicians are bad. Religion is good. Men Vs Women, Public Vs Private, Poor Vs Rich, the eternal fights. No matter what elders are always right. We repeat it--and have it repeated to us--over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all of this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore. The concept of Morphic Field and Resonance seems to be working effectively in this case.

  ~Ref: Tuesdays with Morrie

"Morphic Field and Resonance is the idea that, through a telepathic effect or sympathetic vibration, an event or act can lead to similar events or acts in the future or an idea conceived in one mind can then arise in another".

I wake up early in the morning 

do chores, as my mum says.

I've made goals,

craving, working hard.

I know where I'd be 

in few more days.

But, there are rules 

I can't bend. 

bounded within limits

trends, stats, already set.

Flightless birds, so many 

waiting, for generations 

tirelessly.  

They have the ideas 

tattooed in their minds. 

Anchored to those..

they run in a loop 

endlessly.  

Some are good,

deserve replication, surely

But, some deserve 

termination, yes certainly. 

  

Brainwashed robots

we've become.

Impotent to dissect 

fiction in reality. 

Don't blame it on 

morphic resonance. 

or on chemical imbalance. 

Get some grip on your 

personalized self-reality.  

Day of Retrospection & Contemplations

For last year's words belong to last year's language

And next year's words await another voice.

~ T. S. Elliot

I sit back and think 

how it was ?? 

Good or bad 

or it was nothing but static. 

I did my best

Or am I self-biased 

when I say it ?

I know the truth

the real one.. 

inside my head

I did best, 

could have been better..

Who knows ?

Those days are past 

for forever..

sulking about it 

doesn't  make it better. 

Clinging  on to the good ones 

marching on..

for the next. 

Mistakes I reiterate.

Distractions that penetrate

my strong willed wall..

shake it down

to the verge of fall.

I'm staunch, not to 

commit them again.

Less pains for time ahead..

just results and gains :) 

Happy New Year fellas.. Make the next year a different one !!     

     

Writing - The Wine of Forever

"The pen will never be able to move fast enough to write down every word discovered in the space of memory. Some things have been lost forever, other things will perhaps be remembered again, and still other things have been lost and found and lost again. There is no way to be sure of any this.Only thing you can be sure of is that pen you're holding can never stop. It goes on and on." ~Paul Auster 

Important things are tough to say and yet there are things that needs expression and array of well sorted words. They should be dealt with finesse and perfection. But, we often fall short of words at the very moment when we need them most and then we feel like cheated by all things we ever read and the things we ever said. The way we feel is the result of complex permutations and combinations. Affected mostly by the situation and the person involved. Sometimes we write because it can't be said. By writing them down we breathe a life in those lifeless notions buried deep down somewhere in my mind. Intense obsessions which we never share with anyone can not find a better outlet then writing.... Writing is like an obsession. Once you get the hang of it... it lasts forever. As Franz Kafka says- Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself. !!!

I often fail
in scribbling the
exact mentation
imbuing in my area of grey.
Cryptic by its very nature,
it's buried deep, I say.
It surfaces off and on
leaves footprints
along the way.

Half said, much unsaid.
ship of my endless tales,
sails forward and away.
It cruises to unknown realms,
loopholes to misled.
When left with nothing to say
I scribble them down, any way.

Wherever I go
there's so much, I've
in my head, to cram
to think, to hush away.
Facts, figures, feelings, 
emotional broodings
juggling along the paths
routing, converging all over
paths of neural highways.

Some shreds are lost,
few I prefer to hide around.
Holding them off,
for right moment and time.
Care not, of what I say
rambling around in midst
of jumbled words.
Scribbling them down, my way.

 Merry Christmas and a very very Happy New Year to everyone :)

Merry Christmas !!

My Wish for you all  :)

I hope that the days come easy

and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you 

where you want to go. 

~ Rascal Flatts

What strange creatures Brothers are !!!

Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Not in how they act. 
Not in how they make us feel
Just in what they are. 
~ Markus Zusak 
Such a relationship I share only with one person, my archenemy, my bro !!

 

He's quirk 

stupid, annoying but darling 

to my heart.

There's hardly any subjects

on which our ideas match.

If he picks anything

I'll run with my ultra-speed

to snatch it back. 

Like opposite poles of

a magnet, we cannot part.

Numeric equivalent of 

our differences, 

off the charts. 

Messing with your head

No need of others, its

exclusive right of mine. 

I say black, you shout white

Can never go to sleep 

without buzzing "Good Night".  

No matter how big you grow 

and how complicate our 

lives become. I'll keep 

kicking your ass

and make sure

you keep kickin mine :P     

Pandora's Key

Yes, I have tricks in my pocket, I have things up my sleeve. But I am the opposite of a stage magician. He gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth. I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion.” ― Tennessee Williams

In Control

There are things which are in our control and then there are so many which are not. I believe the list of latter will be a lot longer then the former one, because that's how we all feel.. trapped, controlled like some lifeless puppets of some show. But, in spite of all that, we all have a healthy appetite for having CONTROL in our lives. Since the men (and women) have stepped up in the ladder of evolution 'control' over almost everything has been the bone of contention and, with no exceptions, everyone wants to taste it. If not absolute then even a small bite of it works too. 

Desire to have control over decisions, resources, people around you (specially the related ones), ideas (and everything else a human mind is capable of conceiving of) is the reason of what we are today and what we are capable of doing. Civilizations been flourished, great Kings walked this very earth on which you and I are standing, we have public administration, we live in a society, we have constitution, we negotiate, we trade, we follow rules, we have our own codes n procedures...  WHY ?? Because someone, somewhere had this idea of  having some CONTROL.

What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.

~Paulo Coelho

Why do we always crave for having Control.. or are we always controlled by others.. Does someone else holds the script of your actions or is it altogether a different tale ??

In control, 

of the things you do,

or you will.

Is someone else holding the pen ?

when you indite,

or it's you, who is guiding you.

Variables and attributes

grants, adjustments or rebukes 

all that's happening around..

is a part of Grand Design 

or it's just you. 

Who decides what's redundant 

what's not ?

roam around, fly free

or sit in a place and rot. 

Distracting puzzling ideas

to confuse,

or the building blocks 

of the road you choose.

Strings are pulled up 

or pushed down

difference, hardly counts.

All the path that leads here 

has been crafted by you 

nothing's a chance 

it's all what you muse 

There are times when you feel 

satisfied and content,

sometimes, you just pretend. 

Napolean rightly says- You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be. All you need is 'CONTROL'.
