"Good artists copy," said Pablo Picasso, "Great Artists Steal"
Now here lies the root to all creation. This would obviously imply that God himself was a thief, after all him being the biggest creator or all times. There is artistry in every one of his creations, I was the other day at the National Museum and saw such beautiful creations of the human mind, that I couldn't believe...

The Break of Dawn
There is something going on around these parts, people are just not sane, take for instance this morning, somebody woke me up at 4:49am, the door bell rang and by the time I got to the door the person had already left. Left my mind in a quandary, not that I don't get up early, I am a morning person and am up and running at around 5am or thereabouts. Its getting colder around these parts...
Straight From the Heart
Speaking of Khap Panchayats, what is the basic tenet behind the system, does the Panchayat require the sanctity of the villages or village elders before it can decide on the fate of a runaway couple. Take for incidence, the logic behind the statement that came out a few days back that blamed...
Love Doesn't Come Easy
Delhi University has an amazing affect on ones psyche, the thoughts and patterns are unique to whoever has studied there. Remember distinctly when I was there for a few months, everyone thought that Prince was the name of a dog and that Michael Jordan was no different from the famous MJ. Speaking of MJ, Santana comes to Delhi or rather Noida, Delhi is too staid for any musician. All...
Cake for the lady and a bouquet of flowers please
In so much as they would like to say, we are what are love make us. I have been privileged to have known love and that to closely enough with a number of women. By choice or otherwise, when the time is right, we just go ahead and wipe the slate clean, which is to say, I go ahead and forget...
The Makings of a Modern Man
Haven't been as crazy as I was since I was growing up, and thinking about it, as friends of mine would testify there was nothing I didn't attempt. I was stark raving mad!!! I often wonder what made my mind tick, and as anyone would admit, it was a scary proposition to be the apprentice to people from different backgrounds, as scary as the confusion epitomised by "too many cooks spoil...

A Love Called Peace
When I take you on a ride,
Hang on to it with your life,
For I believe what sets
must come up the next morning
My son, I believe you are the one
who will take this bandwagon on the shores of glory
Trojan I have seen many
purpose they solve and methods they use
Only us today know where Cleopatra is
I will get her once my karma is do...
Under the Calm Veneer
Friend of mine, gora chitta jawan from punjab, thought about getting married, girls there were dime a dozen but he wanted a jatni. If you understand what that terminology means, then you would just say, who wouldn't want to get married to a sikhni and that too a jatni. Temperament wise they are wiser and strength wise strong willed women. These are tigresses who will guard their...
Open Your Heart
Friend of mine from across town has been staying in a rented accomodation for far too long, his longing to own a house of his own far precedes his desire to own a Mercedes Benz. Given an opportunity he would jump at the opportunity to buy a house, it amazes me how this desire far outreaches anything we have want to do in life. Own a house, decorate it, furnish it, with kids and wife playing...

The Winter Bias
There is this feel in the educated sundry that we are just that, educated and thus far insulated from everything that happens. Take for instance this season, they expect the cold to be real harsh, I mean how many times must we hear from them, its like saying that the harsh cold has no meaning and that in any case it will very little affect on me. All that I have to do is wear my warm...
They All Know Me
I have this feeling that everything is going to be just fine today, these are precious thoughts and the feeling is undeniably great. If I was to analyse my own thoughts right now, I would say, I feel comfortable, thoughtful and insulated. There is this feeling of not being there and yet...
Did this really happen ?
Walked into this bar and found a million of thoughts hovering in my mind, I was on the run, had been for a while, in self proclaimed hiding. My mind was going about what I had just heard, that there was this friend of mine who had died, there was noise but I didn't hear it, there were people...
No Religion
Trouble in Paradise
Ain't nothing new
When the church bells ring
Their only thoughts to sing
Will he bring me a new thought
For I have seen his passion for newly bought
Ideas, they just roar at me nowadays,
Like cars flowing on the freeway
Life is more than a dream today
And I have to thank him for all that he has given me this Sund...

And Words I Spun
They live a solitary life, almost like walking through life with utter disdain for the established thought process, wake up to calling of their own, money doesn't move them, the lure of the green lucre left once the eyes saw the truth, neither are they moved by relations, thoughts of love and life...
Story of the Commercial Enterprise
I sell insurances and deal with a variety of customers who can't make up their minds, people walk into the store with a one-stop-solution kind of mental make up, not realising that insurance is of different kinds and the CASHBACKS we offer are unique. Now somebody who sells LIC policies might...
Total Exposure
What do you know, when I was young kid, Zeenat Aman was making it big in the movies, never was too much inclined towards Hollywood, it was always Bollywood. Remember Zeenat babies to the Hema dolls and not to forget the cutie muslim chick Shabana. They were all there, in our lives living,...
Do Chocolates have Side Effects
Friend of mine Simran ran into trouble the other day, she had packed her luggage to shift to a new house, rented of course, her husband was divorcing her. I helped her pack the luggage and arranged for a truck/tempo and before you know we were on our way. The luggage had taken an incredibly...
Just Another Day
Did this incredible amount of work today, got a few photographs clicked for my articles, did research on my posts, looked up a few friends, talked on the phone and all in all its been a good day. Thinking about a day as it passes by, I find it hard to believe that anyone could think of wasting...
I did it
I do what I do and am proud of it
I know what I am doing,
There always is a first step to take
Then life opens up to its myriad possibilities
If my heart just broke today,
maybe it was just another day for you
I survived because I know today
you never meant it
just a child playing games
what more can I s...
Musings of a Broken Heart
There is deep chasm in my heart today,
Probably a making of the variety in life
Choices that I have, things I evolve,
Are all that I have for you
Cut through life like butter,
hand over the scarf to Satan
Say thank you when the story endeth,
For all I got in return was pain
The way of life is to cut short the pain,
The easiest path is often the only path
I still will to make my own way,
And...

When Individuals Start To Have Fun
Pictures and Pictures, its like a lightweight movie that runs through my mind as it combines processes and images of the past to give me a comprehensive perspective of who I am today. Last night when I slept, I dreamed of my life in a past life, who thought of me and who didn't, who abused me and who didn't, my mind is like a childs mind today, if I get shouted at a multiple times, my refuses...

Laugh A Little
I have to come to believe over a period of 3 months now that the heart is the source of it all. Everything we believe we live is a reflection of how we feel in the heart, we are what our emotions are. Remember the time when I told you that this life gives me nothing, or that I am tired...
The Seeker
Brothers and Sisters, there is a desire me to perform right now, I have this feeling that I have just peaked without any others involved in reaching the pinnacle. That itself is a great feel, not that peaking with a team is not great either, however to be able to do it on your own is just a fantastic feeling. I am in the middle of this meeting and my mind is drifting away to the past,...

In and Out of a Dream
The thought of a blue day makes me so tremendously happy nowadays, the thought of working towards making a day soulful and lonely is what gives me happiness. I have mentioned in my previous posts that I get blank in the morning without an adequate cause, I do tend to of course have my own thoughts...
This Life Gives me only Pain
The worlds coming to an end I think, or atleast there is a whole lot of sad news all around me, its like a death here and death there, there are also a million people who seem to be sad around me, not to mention me who is always in an off mood nowadays. There have been atleast 4 deaths in the...

Life in Edit Mode
Good and Evil resides within me, have seen the darkest days when things wouldn't go right, there were people dying all around, there was no thought of right or wrong, it was only a question of survival. Even the good died when the all mighty sword swung through in an lightening arc. Man...
I am not perfect
I am changing and evolving, people insist that this isn't me, I just believe I am changing because I have to. The more I change the more I believe I am less than perfect. God, send me here to give me a reason to live, years have gone by and when nothing seemed to work I found the reason...
Search and You may not find it
I have lived a life of isolation for a while, when a loved one goes away, the thoughts are rapid and then slow and then the mind just doesn't give up. Did I just see you the other day, talking to this other guy and wondering whether you feel the same with him. I know I have cried the tears, my heart is lonely today, I just know you are right for me, this thought though doesn't go away...
Its a Beauty
Working for a software development firm is never easy, many a sips before the cup reaches the mouth. I have seen developers slogging over the computer, writing or rather typing and typing what appears cryptic to the ordinary bystander. After all, what would an "*" or a "(" or a "#" mean...

The Lull before the Storm
Was in the middle of a very strong breeze the other day, there had seemed to be too many of these dull days when nothing seemed to happen. People who seemed to be walking away from life, there was a feeling of deep depression all around as everyone who wanted something from life felt their...
I Have Designs on You
A thought while I was getting dressed for the day, Alan Watts, that I so mention as somebody whose writings have influenced me so much was just that, a radical thinker, far removed from the theories of the world. He would conceive and write, edit and test and write again. When he was born the existing theory of the world said that there has to be said be balance between Newtonian and...

All Part of the Game
I believe there might have been a time in my life when I would have been heavy handed with certain people. The last few months, have not been easy, I have had to deal with a host of people who have landed at my doorstep in search for succour. I have my own way of dealing with it. Last...
