Cast Away


Still now I dream of you
You are my inhibition
I don't know where you are ,how you are 
I still don't know

Beside the blue mountains
The swiftly flowing lonely oceans and deep black forests ....I dream of you
In search of your existence
I am shipwrecked...lost in this remote island
In the afternoon at times I see the ships set sail on the edge of horizon
Far away.... beyond the reach of my destiny

I am lonely and desolate 
I feel tired and dull 
Exasperated and awe struck I have lost hope, faith, trust, virtues and desires 
The sacrifices and peace of mind 
It feels as if I've lost life 

Is this what's called the journey of Life?
I guess not 
But I do know the path that leads to eternity
Eternity is beyond the journey of life

I still wonder when will I see the world the virtual  world 
I'm cast away by the phases of Time
Faded rusted and jaded I have lost my 'Self'

Twenty years had passed dear,
Still chasing you in my dreams
Longing , waiting, crying 
In this mad pursuit I have lost the gem of happiness

I surrender...
I love you more than ever
Although in this short span of Life
I will never ever find you 
Buy still now isolated
I can hear your distant voice echoing in this island
Daydreaming deep; sunk in nostalgia of  our love.

Humane Expectations

It is famously said by someone whom I know very well that - "Don't expect anything from life as it's full of uncanny stories toggling up and down with disheartening consequences that will only make u all the more morose " Well let me put this straight onto you. Through hope, belief, trust, faith we tend to grow the seeds of our expectations and so we must sow what we reap as ; "practice what you preach" is somewhere correct for all the practical folks out there. If we have the aforementioned 'hope' within our mind and body, automatically we tend to expect. I believe expectations only come from the people you love the most. With the love and concern that you shower towards your loved ones you might as well expect the same in return as Newton's third law of motion goes by our very instincts. .  You may say sacrifice and forgiveness helps us to expect nothing in return. But we are humane my dear friend! Physically made of flesh and blood...

Sense of Belongingness

    Sense of Belongingness within ourselves is quite natural in this elixir of life; as we tend to cling on to our chosen one's.  That ray of hope drives us to move ahead in life. The very fact that we all are ultimately 'self 'as we come alone and depart alone makes us harder to think as we are living in this temporal illusory world that projects our very situational phases .  It's like a humane maze...Interdependence within dependence .  Paradoxically speaking, we tend to be independent whereas in actuality we can never be fully independent in this world as God's creation was humans ,not robots.  We have to cling on . We have to belong to someone in order to be independent. In this somewhat daily chaotic course of events of our life we are somehow dependent on others for some or the other reason.  We 'belonged' in the past, we 'belong' in the present and will leave a trace of 'belongingness' in the future.  However, it's true that our ...
