Don't over use the word - beloved</div>
<div>
it sound shallower then it already is.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Never seek beloved in others,</div>
<div>
they are way too temporary then your expectations.</div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 1.6;">I saw a nightmare. The world was submerged in words. I could not breath and alphabets blocked my eyesight. No one knew when did this catastrophe of infinite words decided to plunder the essence of the human life. The only human sense alive was hearing but I overheard that people were losing that as well. Every thing was covered with words. No body and no thing were spared. Each notion of being alive became a joke. Chaos became a byproduct of excess of words and then a moment of fear followed by every sound made or heard…….</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you are planning to visit a
place for the first time, try to go alone. This does encompass going for
shopping both window (shopping) and payment counters, a remote forest or an
island, in front of the mirror and even light years away to a well settled
planet called Mars. Well, going alone makes us more open, especially if you are
a woman – I wish world was a little safer and since it is not one is advised to
be vigilant but not a sentinel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Going out alone to a place
unfamiliar keeps the mind more sensitive and hence it might be a better
exploration. Our observation would be original, our questions would be
reasonable and we would enjoy/dislike the place with our own perspective. Who
borrows sense or a map for an outing with self!<br />Thanks to the technology of
modern man, you will always be accompanied with a cellphone or a source of
indulgence but that would dilute the whole purpose of such a wandering. Also,
never have a well prepared purpose if you are taking a break for that will
cease the possibility of challenges, surprises and a mindful conversation with
the self. Talk to yourself (words or silence, completely one’s own choice of communication)
and breathe a lot during this trail even if you enter a parking lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Don’t be lost in the self; it is
a trip to find something or nothing. Again, sometimes, we should not be
confined in the boundaries of purpose, objectives or definitions. This is my visit to the self after a very long time
and these words are mere reflections of the route.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I started blogging, I would spend a lot of time in finding the apt name for that blog. Eventually for the love of peculiar-name-finding I ended up making a lot of blogs - blank and unmanageable. Then I deleted them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Such were the stupid and funny pleasures of my childhood. These must not be judged as nerdy habits but I found a corner to pretentiously portray that I can write and things around the world are affecting me. Like a sign - that I exist and if you find me here, the impression would be stronger. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Coming back to my craze about making a new blog instead of an effort to write a new post.....After finding the name which sounded intellectually bright and poetically confirming - I would quickly register and start with a nasty, grammatically poor, nostalgic post about something of and around emotions. Why emotions because this is what I value the most and this is one thing I failed to change till date.These tiny little sensations always find a way to capture and sabotage the practical side of mine. Practical side! To take part in the making of this world and to survive, I need to be practical and less sentimentalist. I juggle so often between these requests that I am mostly nowhere. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, the whole purpose of this post is about the name of this blog (Poet of Minutes) which I am changing. I am changing it to . Change has never been a constant friend of humanity. (only if you could see me mock at myself)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>“We are two abysses - a well staring at the sky.”</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

they might knock the door<br />
but mostly without a foretelling,<br />
they enter and amuse the ego<br />
<br />
they spread from one empty room to another<br />
igniting the old, forsaken corridors<br />
<br />
in utter silence<br />
the final ghost of speech awakes<br />
and this sound is the cause of damage<br />
in all our humane endeavors.<br />

Please don't read them with any expectation. This is simply an attempt to manipulate a simple moment and hence dismissing the rules of poetry which were structured from all directions. This might be near the idea of what humans are in my perspective - a chaos in search of harmony - a recurring image of irony and a long pause in a conversation between two gods!<br />

A father amuses a <i>Sir</i> by singing a song of bank<br />
this river of economics run through the world of modern men.<br />
sanctioning a policy of financial loss,<br />
they calculate the down payment<br />
This is the mortal men's fate!<br />
Like an unromantic warrior, the father counts all numbers<br />
yet the music of accounts fail to resonate<br />
Has this unfortunate hen who lay the golden eggs<br />
dismissed the ego for the future of sterile men?<br />
<br />
A sun who cursed the son<br />
sublime into the hours of stars and heaven<br />
The flash-light of a television box<br />
connects the stationary to a mobile region<br />
and before the eyes could blink<br />
begins the dance of tongue and doomed heroes!<br />
"All men are on duty" - states the sensuous journalism<br />
A brother and a remote controller<br />
reigns the room of television.<br />
The cast is changing as the era is different,<br />
these old rooms will change as per the new tenant.<br />
<br />
Inside, sitting in the clear mist of another corner<br />
like chanting a holy scripture, unconsciously,<br />
a mother is popularizing a devoid book.<br />
Like a monk who sold his peace for a title of a mother,<br />
she is a zen artist in the loud battle among all the wrongs.<br />
Memories march around this family<br />
but everyone is occupied. Blind and busy.<br />
In the invisibly visible cubicles of self<br />
is a gathering of separated lives.<br />
The story does not end here.<br />
The ironical play of words is a perpetual saga.<br />
A white soul looks into the eyes of graying self<br />
while a little girl crawl towards the centre of the table<br />
to blow the candles.<br />

was a story of heart<br />
not science,<br />

a chaos created a mind<br />
and along the heavens of simplicity<br />
a hell was designed<br />
change was time's only accomplice.<br />
<br />
in memory of god and lovers<br />
Rumi's soul marched toward Ghalib's town<br />
Iqbal's horse of revolution and ego<br />
was slained for crimson corruption<br />
and Faiz was agonized by <i>hijr</i><br />
<br />
the new lover
was naive and ignorant<br />
and the old was perishable<br />
and the cursed poet<br />
loomed around
each letter<br />
of this incoherence<br />
in between the pages<br />
of writer's block.<br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">who distribute the pieces of expired progress<br />while i mock at them with the pamphlets of calamity<br />and in between the deceptive tunnel of truth<br />are well kept mortals, enshrined for destructive facility<br />and you, Mister remain aloof and green!<br /><br />but when, in the fabled nature of religion<br />the poorest of poor come for disagreeable demands<br />likes of which are not polished with vocabulary<br />you bully them with sound and fire<br /><br />and thus i shall complain to lord above<br />about the nature of the tip of your nose,<br />about the way the trees conspire with the air,<br />about the dance of death composed by the river,<br />about the evil army of endangered animals, birds and insects<br />about the misleading moon and the burner called Sun<br />about the little mistakes of man being rewarded<br />by the mythical daughters of Satan<br />as they churn the sea, the earth and whatever<br />in reach of their desires and thoughts<br /><br />while the potion of life is else where,<br />somewhere in New Delhi or Gujarat<br />in an air conditioned room or mall<br />in front of television or mobile phone<br />in the name of Sonia Gandhi or Narendra Modi<br />or the national ghost of justice.</span></div>

<span style=" font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Why do you speculate so much about the metaphors; there isn’t any!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">For you always complain about corruption and God and lizards,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">And sometimes, even about the taste of time in November</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">when the last leaf of autumn dissolves into the memory of earthworms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">But are there enough excuses or only, the remnants of text is an option.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Can I deceive you by speaking of melodies in travelogues, stories and silence?<br />
‘why use a poor anesthesia for a scoundrel’, an anarchic romance!<br />
<br />
Over the porch of age and yearning, life must become a toothless fairy<br />
And you, the soloist of melancholy, suffocated by silly debates or mute arguments<br />
do not blame me! This world enjoys mediocrity too much.<br />
but this discourse was to be a prose, about dreams and butterflies; simplicity,<br />
no visuals, no text, no radio at midnight and one day, silence will become a verse.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: -5px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which always move forward</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i will continue this jaunt of fantasy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">between the smiles less shown</span><br />

suddenly there was a race<br />
not between time and its memory<br />
but between a heart and its pace<br />
of a canceled ticket to the ghost-town<br />
of mind and reminiscence<br />
then i read a decorated tale of agony<br />
where reflections were vivid.<br />
<br />
it was a morning, still i read it like a night <br />
like a new born child's tongue<br />
of his disorganized links and stories<br />
of the precious sound the creature made <br />
yet no one understood the words he say <br />
the ignited world, who compliments often,<br />
is fake or am i simply jealous.<br />
my threads were weak, so can i befriend you<br />
again and again, o heart in siege?<br />
<br />
these words resonated from a cave<br />
a cave near the river of a name<br />
a name which is like the river - silent!<br />
with a bond less melancholic<br />
i rowed the boat while you sang a song<br />
<i>this voice is stale like your jewelery box</i><br />
"tell me, how do you like it?" <br />
of smile which remained my reply.<br />
else i sung along the river, the moonlight<br />
or becoming of a metaphoric rower.<br />
<br />
in that room of strangeness<br />
like a shy bride, i entered to eat cheese <br />
in that room of familiarity <br />
where things were in order or invisible<br />
i entered again, now like a tigress<br />
but life remained questionable of<br />
my absence, your presence<br />
records of cigarette leaving the ash<br />
on a soul, invisible, inside your room<br />
that soul was a sole witness<br />
of our words, smiles, heartbeats<br />
i wish i could wear the color<br />
of your smile; i wanted a horse in<br />
that shady lane, beside those animating vendors<br />
who knew nothing of our brave tales, emotions<br />
and i wanted an old man too, mediating<br />
who would from a distance smile at<br />
my hand in yours, my footstep behind yours<br />
who would say in his absentmindedness<br />
that we are <i>made in heaven</i><br />
but this is not a love story... or is it? <br />
blame to my unrequited heart or head<br />
or is it the unrequited poetry... <br />
maybe ours is a story of life, a pristine one<br />
a little subtle and more comical<br />
of simple people in dissonant juxtaposed narration<br />
of a bond which now stands beyond words<br />
or too simple to be named, understood or refrain.<br />
but i now i predict a futurity, a sure tense<br />
and of a future where i shall<br />
pray for a safe world <i>there</i><br />
near that cave, near that river.<br />
and god who knows one language<br />
of all poetry but no fabrication.<br />
of prayer as silent as my past<br />
to keep you safe and protect the truth<br />
and the present tense, where i hold a book <br />
of<i> Fanon</i> who will teach me about<br />
a dark night and a black struggle but<br />
i insist on carrying your words, your poems<br />
of <i>alfaaz</i>, of blunt innocence, of my pause<br />
and their sellers, of harkening and <br />
of snow flakes, of first love and <i>Neruda.</i><br />
of my senselessness and of your sweetness<br />
of this day and many like this<br />
god bless the soul i meet often in dreams.Quietude Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799625933337207843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723900663440447716.post-49223319701323073122012-07-12T04:31:00.001+05:302012-07-12T16:18:43.444+05:30<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Do
we realize each moment of our growth? Yes or maybe No!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Yes,
because we keep a record of our age, because we celebrate the idea of life
in tiny measures, because we count the things changed - in us, around us.
We would frequent the mature habits but in the pattern of immaturity and would
often miss the past. From a poet's world, I do notice the little things that
would affect the so called phenomenon of life - living as a human.<o:p></o:p></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">No,
because we work not as poets or painters in real life but as salesman. As
reality give us no time to wander in the direction of our pristine choices
and we would drag ourselves to unkempt, unnecessary ways to survive. Or maybe
we live in the times of too many distractions. And we, as a generation are
great masters of amnesia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I
started writing when I was 18. I was in love then and it was the time to learn
how to write. My hold over the language and grammar were pathetic and it still
is. I like mistakes; I like my ignorance for the rules which are requisite to
express a language not emotions. I like simple manipulations. I knew nothing
about poetry and today when I quote Ghalib, I smell the forgery. But why am I
pouring this in you; you have always been the silent blog. But then, I also
like these delusional posts to no one. Like a lost letter which brings a new
story of another world. Each time I write over you, I wish you could revert.
There is always a meaningless pleasure in dreams or fantasies. A dream where my
audience is my blog, my critic is my blog and my beloved receiver is my blog.
But our conversation is a silent affair. And seriously, life till date has
taught me enough lessons on silence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">These
poems which I update today were written in Delhi. A city worth abusing, a city
worth observing, a city one must ignore and a city which makes me stronger. I
must stop now or continue on another day.<o:p></o:p></span>

i am back to where i belong<br />
obscure lanes,<br />
shady lamps,<br />
blue haze settles<br />
and then i see my '<i>poems</i>'<br />
<br />
the devil dance<br />
the priest locks the temple<br />
i hear the mourning of a little girl.<br />
where are angels tonight?<br />
in bounded books<br />
or hallucinating a simple poem.<br />
<br />
i think of exile, every so often<br />
they celebrate it as homecoming<br />
and then they feast on my words<br />
<i>every so often</i>
<br />
words can be pretentious<br />
and promises forsaken<br />
<br />
i hear the bell<br />
time stops, no more counting<br />
no more poetry beyond this point<br />
i pack my soul<br />
Satan delivers me to hell<br />
and all i miss is solitude.Quietude Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799625933337207843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723900663440447716.post-3727623699204693432012-02-27T00:13:00.000+05:302012-10-03T11:04:11.078+05:30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
