Goa

The Goa trip... all of our batch mates have been to Goa and back...some have even gone twice...
The place has an amazing laid back quality to it...you don't feel like doing anything...just lying on the beach...drinking beer and listening to the surf hit the sand...that's all...and of course lolling in the water later on...
This was the essence of the trip to this pristine place... beaches are the most beautiful that Ive ever seen and the water is clear and inviting.
Holiday bola to Goa hi yaad aata hai yar!

Spirtuality and Lunch

What brings us here and makes us do the many things and chores that we go about doing in our daily lives is a question that haunts many of us even as we go on doing our tasks. And one day bored of it all we take a break and wonder aloud - "What am i here for?"
Whats my calling? ... is what you and i wonder ...
That's the question that one of my friend faces and with whom i had a good hour long discussion, at 2 in the afternoon ... we talked about moksha, awakening the spiritual within us, and life's objectives in the comfortable confines of my air conditioned car.
"How ironic is that???!!" - you would think!
But that's exactly that - A poor man would never understand let alone relate to such talk
He is in dire straits as to where his next meal is going to come from. That person would not even begin to ponder about liefs origin and its ultimate meaning
I guess its best left to us well fed college going pseudo intellectuals to mull over.
By the way we had a hearty meal of a very filling and smacking thali later that day - i enjoyed it and i suggest Mahabhoj to everyone (vain aint i????)

Rejoice

where time flies
no one knows
days of rejoice
they pass blissfully unnoticed
and days of sunshine
wen sky is birght and clear
and the land is lush with the winter green
i run through the dew barefoot
the wet clinging to my feet
tickling
i breathe in the crisp air
drink in the glory of nature
"there is a God" i say...
and rejoice

connect..

steel vanishes
eyes flutter
chains clang'
fear
remain
undaunted it melts away
a conviction
unbelievable
authentic
pure
sweet
bereavement
energy
again

when..

There is something in here...
that wants to be out
something that stirs
yet does not let loose
remains in the confines
stays there.....waiting
waiting for that catalyst
sparking the moment
when it shall be out
out in the open
an acknowledgement of existence
to be there in the world and beyond
breaking the confines
undoing those shackles
taking it on
and emerging...
Only the moment
only that catalyst...
