Sage

Alright, so far you've imprisoned yourself in the many ways you found inviting
From the corps drill to the resonance of art
Ergo forever searching for yourself
But never there and found wanting, waiting and impatient
Little by little, losing inhibitions for that wishful change
The mirrored cavern of a soul
bequeathed of a new realm
For never more and never there...

Namesake

I shall call you with a name, a given name in my own tongue
and from here on and forth you as my own
In a this world as with each days passing
I hold on to my sanity
And the very levity of falling thus
Me very own Battlemaiden
Leaving me a mage to find a safa
Where the voice and the sharpness of words
May douse fire and melt ice
in harmony to forge a path and a way
far from men and their desires
each fallen numb as they tuck tail and run
ruled by their sorrows and rice
We shall never return
Knowing that once what is done
or undone
Can never be the same again
So whenever you forget colors for them blues
Remember the ode and music of life
A power yours forever to behold
As Poetry be nothing more than an orphan of silence

What happened to Cinema...

I'm going back to school in a few days. The strange part is that I'm looking forward to it...

Now, I have been noticing films for sometime now and the mighty strange part that I've observed is that most of them seem to be remakes on the hits of the last era. You name it and its there. I'm walking through The Karate Kid as of now. LaRusso is getting kicked.

It went for a remake starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. With the strong emphasis on Kung Fu and practically the same storyline and plot, I wonder why they still called it The Karate Kid. The horror of it is that they waited exactly 16 years for it. That was a nice for a laugh seeing that they take such precautions not to cross the line of copyright infringement.

I guess as the saying goes.

A publish would simply love to publish all the work from last that were hit this year, and just cut the losses.

Whatever happened to -

If there is a book you want to read, a film or a work of art you wish to see and it's not there; then it is your duty and responsibility to make it!

Ah too much TV... Alright, change of topic so I'll be moving on the next post. Time for some of my latest writ.

Next time, get the name right... and I wonder why you always seem like such a little man when it came to my being. Really, I used to look up to when I was a kid. Now I wonder why...

Congress

Seriously, how many more heads must loll before action is taken. This is evidently a stunt to terrorize and bring down the morale of the troops and civilians alike. What is the government doing? What is the United Nations doing? Nothing. Talk about either being impotent. Its a just way to call them with that adjective. I'm a nobody, but hands haven't stopped shaking ever since I'm put all these thoughts to writ. The more I learn about it, the downward spiral grows.

Its cold and its been raining for sometime now. The skies had darken as well. Even heaven resonates to such atrocities. But I keep telling myself, this is not a time to weep. This is not a time to grieve. This is not a time to lose wits either. I will not succumb to despair. I'm pissed, I will rage. And believe me its way more helpful than losing your nuts...

Considerations

What of the grieving widows, their children, their families and relatives as of now. How would you answer them or look them in the eye considering what they did to the corpses of our jawans? Is it just a report that says "Killed In ACTION"?

There is retribution and there is vendetta. Everyday, every moment there are men being hunted on the borders. Our soldiers, who protect us from violence so we can have a peaceful nights rest and contribute to the economy. I hate to say this, knowing my affinity for peace, but we have been at war with our neighbors since 1947 on both sides.

There is limit to all. When their men cross that threshold and continue provocations, there has to someone to a put a stopper to it. This is not a moment of calling cease fire. Even amongst enemies there is a refrain of dignity and honor. At least to those that died, beyond the knowledge of medals and body bags.

Please, please, please don't give in to terrorism and vile threats. Take a call, and do it now.

This has gone beyond the Geneva Convention, and UN. Matters have to be taken in our own hands for this is beyond getting personal. Irony is that so far, we have tried to make peace. Their sports teams were in the country for that very aspect. This is how we were paid back when we said "not enemies, but friendly competition."

Quotable Quotes

Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.

Denial

See how life turns. I'm on Modern Warfare and its been ages since I held a joystick. I'm back on beginners luck. Lol. Or that's a laugh. I've been out of touch with the world lately.

And myself included.

I've ignored the blog for a while.

The Dragunov SVD

The Getaway

Its the turn of a new century.

And I've just been wondering where I'd been had I truly believed in myself. See, So far I thought I did. As of now, I'm a worried man.

But then, since its the coldest night in Delhi, after all the mayhem, I'm down a bottle of brandy and the reason just flows.

Really,

Its not about having cash, or material even. I write and now to remind myself of the one premise -

 Had you own a ship, where would you go...

The same for a good pair of shoes,

Or a car....

Or a crew even....
