Looking for me...

...they said, find a home...it will protect you
...they said, find a friend, who will stand by you
...they said, find a husband who will care for you
...they said, make children, they will love you
...they said, make a career, it will nourish you
...they didn't say...find yourself, it will heal you..

Kuch log....

There are some people who live on a healthy diet of 'apologies'. They live to point fingers at others, at their mistakes, without saying much. I wonder who gives them the apparatus to do so...for these people live, not to accept, but reject. In their belief that they are creating a better world, they seem to refract, not reflect. How farther away from god can that be? If god were to point a thousand fingers every second, he would stop creating, because he would be busy straining and being stiff...to accept, to love, to care is to also be easy and let those fingers glide, caress, smoothen and touch. God, i love god so much!!

happiness

I visited my childhood city yesterday.....i felt it like i used to feel home..years ago.i felt my feet digging into the earth like it was mine, i felt small, being carried, being taken by the scruff of my collar and patted and brushed....i actually felt my parents, and their memory seemed so much more real...it takes so little to feel happiness, a terrain, memories, a voice maybe? why do we deny ourselves and others of this?

Capturing

'it is ringing' (with a bright smile - in 'bheja fry')- Brilliant, simple, honest and vivid. When Cinema signifies these, we have touched the soul of 'art'.

conversation

Hello, ahmed bhai, did i disturb your namaz?? wanted to make sure you send the chairs before the hearse leaves for the funeral mass at St.Peter's Church...Kamala, make sure you clean the sweat off his face in the coffin...
May the lord bless his soul, and the integration of people, of minds and of religions.

Lost

a welcome: sincere and true
an anxious mind: worrying and caring
a proud heart: generous and applauding
a father figure: protecting and nurturing
Do mortals go away to teach us lessons?

The question is not about who wronged us....it is about 'what went wrong and how'. It is about configurations..of minds, of situations, of perceptions and of the time. Relax! It's ok....
