The business of living

Maintenance is a business which never goes bust. The least that people need to do is continue living. Housekeeping services, credit cards, working capital finance for business, social media management training, brand management, coaching, spiritual orientation initiatives and so many others help us to continue walking. Any reference to the starting point is investigative, to … Continue reading The business of living

Walls

I move memories to a different wall where the light is dim and the colors will fade without staining my soul I hang utility handy tools to keep me busy while I create new stuff to displace the old I nail Time but it smiles back controls my existence from its enclosure mocking my freedom … Continue reading Walls

Words in a Bottle

Neha Rajan's avatarraysofdelusion

A smile lingers

Along the shore of ocean waves

While the stars shine

And the moon sets

In the mornings of fate

As words in a bottle

Shatter and find

Hidden in glass and paper, so fine

Sand across ink in a world gone by

Pretty sure I am behind, but I’ll catch up!


There are bridges and then there are bridges. Most bridges are concrete and steel, stretching across those places where Mother Nature had declared ‘There shall be barriers.’

The truth of the matter is these man-made constructions are useful in our lives. We’d be fording rivers with rafts and rope still…

तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ के पहरे

Teri Zulf ke Pehre – by hecblogger (Amit Agrawal)

English translation in Comments section ….

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

कह दिया तुमने कि आज़ाद हो तुम
तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ के पहरे जब भाने लगे हैं ।१।

बेदर्द सा चाँद निकला है फ़लक पे
क्या जाने तुझे भूलने में ज़माने लगे हैं ।२।

फ़िर दिल धड़का, फ़िर साँस ली हमने
क्या तेरा फ़साना हम दोहराने लगे हैं ।३।

चुराया दिल मेरा, फिर नींद और चैन
हुए ऐसे शातिर वो नज़रें चुराने लगे हैं ।४।

है वक़्त-ए-रुख़सत, बता दो उन्हें अमित
मना लेना जश्न, हम बस जाने लगे हैं ।५।

The teachers say I’m not ready as yet. It will take some more cleansing, some more struggle to … Continue reading Business as usual

The New Normal or No Normal

It is our concept of normal, which restricts and constricts us. And there are so many versions of ‘being normal’, that one never gets around to being totally acceptable. Yet, parents, teachers and priests keep struggling to propagate their own concepts of acceptable behavior.  Excellence is deemed to lie in reproducing published answers from a scripture … Continue reading The New Normal or No Normal
