My Elusive Muse

The Game with Chronos

The Game with Chronos
(Racing against Time)

My opponent -
He works incessantly...Tick Tock, Tick Tock..
Bends over backwards to move ahead of me..
I take a deep breath and look him in the eye
Unabashed , he stares and steps forward.

Steady and assured of my surrender..
He slips forward with a sly smile
Deep within I sense the inevitability of my defeat
And look heavenwards for my share of peace..

On Our Way to Pondy..

Then I heard  a lotus bloom in the marsh..
Silent and Pensive
I paused and stared..
The Stillness soothed my racing heart...

That transcendent moment..
I forgot to speed
Chronos left me with me a smile ...in search of his next victim
I never noticed..
And  realised that I had won the race after all..

Analyse this..

Lost in thought..
I dissect each event..
I am the oil in the water..
Inside yet outside...
I go through the motions of life ..

The mind's impermeable bubble is my cocoon..
When will the butterfly break through?
I observe -I watch-I analyse..
I look ..I see ..I wish ..I dont..


Alas I am no Kabir's swan..
To feel is ..To die..
And
To think is ..To Live
Analyse this -The title of my Life's Story ..

Nov 2014

Will be back

In case anybody checks in..(I very much doubt that :)) Will be back after my PhD is complete..Take care and ciao

A Plea to those who write a student's future..

I am eager..I am young

I feel things that you have long forgotten
Passion, Enthusiasm , Friendship..
All perfect in my little glass bowl
Do not be the one to shatter my illusions
Yet..

I am testing waters..
Unaware of uncertainties..I live life believing my infallibility..
I try..I fall ..I try again

I am confident ..The world is my oyster..
Do not break my spirit..
Yet..


The real world waits
I have heard that it is cruel..You would know
Let it wait..A minute
Let me learn,Let me give,Let me grow..
Help me if you can
Do not be the one to steal my smile

Recognise my goodness ..Before clipping my wings

Time-the great punisher..is waiting

With one swoop of his arms He will break my little bubble soon..

I am a flower that blossomed today..
Let me live this day..
