Line, Chants and the Key

When you think you have reached that LINE, sometimes few CHANTS can be the KEY that can unlock the sublime nuances of life! Well, that exactly summarizes an entertaining and exciting evening that I had yesterday.


Being a part of a book club, had this great opportunity to interact with the writer of three popular fictions – “The Rozabal Line”, “Chanakya's Chant” and “The Krishna Key”, Mr Ashwin Sanghi. Discussions were not limited to his body of works, but it also covered the ideation process, refinement process, the trials and tribulations of an aspiring writer! The author was quite approachable and his enthusiasm and ebullience made the event even more exuberant. Gracies to Mr Haigins and gratitude to the members of the club for putting up a grandiose session!

The event was followed by a small get together of the “like minded” group members who had their own stories of struggles, surprises and successes to share. Blogger in me has woken up from the deep slumber, but is it just for a temporary phase before she goes back to her hibernation mode?

 

Weather

Rain that washes away my tears
Lightening that highlights my fears
Thunder that resonates my emotions
Clouds that covers my notions

Weather being utterly unkind and blind
Playing havoc with my flustered mind!

DILemma

All the while, I was chasing it
It was never within my reach
Now, it is following me with grit
And all I do is break and breach!

The sudden change of events
Is indeed quite difficult to handle
The current circumstance prevents
The uncovering of heart’s mantle!

Life is full of twists and turns
Marked by immense irony
Enjoy the beats, ignore the burns
Tide through the whimsical tyranny!

Iss Craziness Ko Kya Naam Doon!

I tend to stay away from daily soaps which are aired on various channels. It had been my conscious decision as I feel it is a real waste of time because it always features implausible plots, unrealistic characters, unbelievable settings and what not!

But, during the latter part of 2011, while browsing through the various channels, one show caught my attention, and have been seriously hooked on it since then. Now what made me addicted to this particular show? Is it the flawed characters, the story line, chemistry between the lead pairs or the tag line? Must say, combination of everything, the story showcasing love & hate in the right dosage, hero on the lines of Mr Heathcliff & Mr Darcy, heroine who endures all the pain, retaining her will power & smiles even during extreme strain.

The plot had its shares of up and downs, may be due to the fact that the script writer cannot maintain the awesomeness in each and every episode, but there are enough symbolisms left in each and every episode for the audience to dissect and decipher. The chemistry between the lead pairs has been the talk of the town, being even compared to the big onscreen couples of the silver screen. With awards, appreciation, accolades coming in huge numbers, the show will continue to engross, enthrall and entertain the audience, who waits with bated breath to tune on to Star Plus at 8pm, every week day!

I'm Back!

Well, it’s been ages since I have blogged, can’t contribute to any specific reason, may be the same old indolence and some new indulgence, old meanderings and new musings but it was never due to lack of time. Have seriously thought whether I am into a phase known as “creative block”, but that’s the not the case. Mind which is human beings’ greatest asset can be the dangerous weapon too. Let not make the mind wander, its dirty game shall not leave any passage to escape.

What have I been doing? Well, over the last few months, travelled to new places, made new friends, dared to do things which I wanted to do or shied away. In short, heart had taken over the reins of my life, the sole dictator, curbing, controlling, ruling and raveling. It was a crazy, helluva ride, with life taking numerous turns, offering much more adventure, much more to venture, much more flavor, much more to savor before the grey strands, the wrinkles take over!

I’m back to this world of virtuality
With a hope to get closer to my reality!

Truth of Life

Yearning for a gentle touch, a tight embrace, some generous phrases
A mundane, meaningless, muddied life, I lived through
But only when death embraced me, I earned plenty praises
Corpse, as I lay, immune to people and words that I never knew!
