The green bug

Ice is melting!!
When will our hearts?!
be compassionate...
be evergreen.

blurt out from my head as I was watching the green exhibition our company's employees had come up with. I was quick to take a print out of this as my writing is not the best and put it among the other entries. Wasted a paper, hoping the trees might forgive as this was for a noble cause... ;)

Waited like an eager dog to know the comments on it. Few seem to appreciate it... many just glanced over... some saw it childish... some gave a laugh (mocking... i wonder). The responses were diverse... would have been very boring if all of it was the same!

All are familiar with the little word 'compassion', but wonder how many enjoy the dept of it. 'Be passionate' is so different from 'being compassionate'. Can both of these exist together? Our culture seem to be brain-washed with the idea of being passionate, that the compassionate side is taking a nap...long one. Well there are books for 'You can Win' etc etc, is there a book 'Whats wrong in losing?' or 'Why don't you lose?'!

Can we not try being passionate about compassion... or are we afraid we might end up like Jesus? :D

Dear blogger

To my friend who lives 24/7 on web
Who updates status for change in wind
Put up fundas that urge you to give a smile
Who pin up pictures beside famous people
Who are no more than big statues you have to look up to... want it or not
A few pin up the slum dogs
Quick to snap but forgets to feed... or was that the point anyway
Rare pin up the common man
Common anyway... a sight we forgot to enjoy after childhood
Quick on breaking news
To comment their view... todays news becomes tommorows history... no more good than to strech over a couple of pegs and a friend who better be patient...

Quick on yesterdays bloodshed
Who was right anyway!... both sides justify... god was never there to judge the trial... earth scribbled the learning on her diary, like child who burned fingers on a hot dish... but the untamed side of mankind is yet to discover what real kindness is... man was not god's pet to get tamed.

Never forget to comment the famous
To concur or not... either way famous is more famous...

Dear Friend,

Who are you speaking to? Can you be successful where the papers have failed all these years? Those who like honey sticks to it, most never know what honey is. Our tendency to listen what we like to hear undermines most of what we learn. How many can stoping judging and start listening? N Listen to what our heart says...

The durg named society taught me to 'shoo' the hungry. I have spoke to people whose gods where replaced for a so called modern society and equal rights. Bribed with cloth and food. Seen how culture could hit back in retaliation... a cancer waiting for the final assault until all the culture is buried with the dead. Lived in a society where love only within its sub are encouraged... maybe they think they are immortal or at least something is worth in the worthless.
Free yourself... stop writing... come to me.... help me to stand, walk, run...
I want to live...

Regards,
your shadow

If cats can love why cant we?!!

(Playing - The Count of Tuscany Part 2 - Dream Theater - Black Clouds and Silver Linings - find out yourself a link ;)... and so my fingers type.....)
Another weekend is here! I love weekends more than anything else I can think of... its 2 days where i boss what i do with the 48 hours of time before work gets back to you. Unlike the working days when i find it hard to wake up in time to go to office... I get up early on a saturday morning (even after all that booze last night!). Just the thought on what all you can do without giving an estimate to your manager is a wish granted! The day starts with riding bike through the traffic of growing developing nation... (guess what i m writing this blog keepin in mind that not just my developing nation friends read it ;) --- aint that futuristic!). And so the bike finally comes to a halt back at where u started from... after a heavy biriyani... before which i gave my blood to test my cholestrol levels... before which i gave a quick swim to get me 'fit' for the medical checkup made almost 'mandatory' by my workplace... (preface: this is during 2009 recession - companies are researching on books - 1001 ways to get rid of your employee... written by the 'capitalist alias shithole'. Keeping aside the hate for capitalist... let me move on wit luv n intelligence n the crap with it... ;)... guess what i watch the next 45mins after reachin back home....
Its not the pretty girl who I wished stayed at home nearby! The mom cat n 2 kittens (who really looked like her for some reason) jumped through grills on my gate. (Song changes to Niladri Kumar - Sitar Gaze...)
Unlike many other days, I decided to watch what these animals do... The kittens first revolved around their mom rubbing her out delight. This delight was of not out of seeing someone you just missed that you act as if - 'u come to me first missy... until then I am just carry on playing with this pretty white pebble I tripped on. ' . This joy came out of pure innocence where there is not even a thought for a play to get you on top of the game called relationship. 10 mins back these kittens were hiding in the shadow of the bush that surrounded them to protect from the preying eyes of hungry crows n humans probably want to make them a 'pet'. For the next 15 m I had the pleasure of witnessing their joy... jumping on their mom, brushing their head under the moms neck... finally pushing her finally to laydown to feed them... n while they drank the day's nutrition, she licked the kids heads n hugged them with her fore'legs'! For the next 5mins the kids were busy drying the mom out... (I got a bit bored now... even thought if I should be watching this... hoped maneka gandhi ji was not around! ;) )...
Is a cat intelligent? Even if you feed it everyday with salmon... it doesnt care who feeds it... never says a thanks or a tail wage or a bowing head atleast. But the way she took care of her kids and protected them is magnificient. The love is unconditional here... the bond cannot be corrupted here... its natural... life and love sings the same song... with the same tune... in a rythm that cannot be broken my earth itself.
Love powers our heart... it take the difference out of differences... everyone is capable of loving... and capable of spreading the love...
N like us... after the feed feast I watch the other kitten getting back to his play with a 5 min discovery old... the pebble... :) ... kids do take mom and her love for granted!
