Dreaming…

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Well last week it was a ditzy. Hope reigned supreme for something which was totally not for me.. yet sometimes, the mind does not see any reason. The mind just looks for something that seems good but well in effect it really does not make sense.. Such is the mind.. and sometimes this body also goes along with it..

And thats how we have experience.. :)

The mind has settled down again with a deeper resolve to find that elusive sense of attaining something which keeps changing as the sun comes up and goes down.

But the mind does not relate to an empty space for a goal. Why is it always that the mind keeps reaching out for something tangible for us to live for ?

Isnt it enough that we have today and we have enough for today.

Well practically speaking, it would be silly not to plan.

But planning brings forth aspiring, aspiring leads to cherishing which leads to the build up of ego which makes sure we are always on the run.

Socially, we have to be on the mode of addition, friends, marriage, family, and all that goes with being in a society.

Professionally, its all about the elusive and often jumping the all golden ladder of reach.. which keeps us on our toes, in turn making us forget what we have today.. is actually enough..

Then if we stand still – amidst the whole ongoing of social activity chaos around us…and reach for silence, emptiness and nothingness, we find that inner peace.. but can we stay there…

It seems impossible with the buzz of the chaotic activity around one and then there is the noise of climbing ladders…

A little green patch with a tiny house with a nice garden and some animals is the dream whereas… here one is.. grappling with the reality of being still which is at the risk of being shoved as the tornado of humanity forces one to get back to the eye of that storm where all the high is… for a shirt second but yet its so thrilling… so tempting and so beckoning..

I remember when I came to the big city someone whom I respect a lot told me that I had to be aware of riding the tiger.. if you fall, you will be eaten if you dont, the stress of riding it will kill you.. its unstoppable..

Well I refused to ride the tiger.. but searching for a ride that is sedate yet and has a good view.. and can carry me well to my grave… with a smile in my face….

Something cheered me up

As I am sitting with my swollen face filled with pain, I saw something that cheered me up a lot.

Surinder posted this and I thought it was good enough to post it in my blog as well.


Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

Liked the video.

Thanks to my blogger pals who send me good thoughts on the last post.

Am going into root canal procedure tomorrow. I am shit scared to the point of wetting my pants. But I will be brave. I will smile and grunt as if I do this everyday.. Sigh.. ( no I cannot, I just want to bury my head somewhere where there is no need to have teeth.. oh why did we ever need teeth.. ?? )

Something from Nicole Kidman to keep me going.

I live with me

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I live with my bitterness
I live with my joys
I live with my tribulations
I live with my sighs
I live with my exaltation
I live with my nays
I live with my exuberation
I live with my guilts
I live with my indignation
I live with my peace
I live with my disillusions
I live with my pride
I live with my ego
I live with my side
I live with my insecurities
I live with my faith
I live with my belief
I live with ME
