Idealists dream

You may have seen 3 other posts from me today,
You guessed it right, today is my "Kill your keyboard day"

These are my ramblings, from college and early professional life at
least 13 yrs old.

As with wine, they have gotten better with age, i love them, and hope
you do too.

there are more i will publish at appropriate time, but today its an
Idealist's dream.

Its my dream, and so should be yours. so here goes....

I have a dream,
A nameless God,
A Faultless spirit, righteous deeds
Free for all heaven

Knowledge for the uncouth
Pleasure for the damned
Mothers love for strangers
Brothers love for orphans
Fathers thoughts for uncared

Holy among commons
Lords the least served
Blessed are all children - what race, creed and color
Celebrate all seasons with the same fervor

Peace for troubled
Nobler leaders, discerning followers
Loved and more - Families
Gentler correctors
Passionate dreamers, Verve-ful achievers

Protected lives
Unprotected corruption
Resourceful youngsters
Playful Kids

Knowledgeable Elders
Respected All
Who is holier than thou...
Love for ALL........

Love and death

Its true,

Love transcends death,
that people touch our lives,
Even long after they are gone.

Rishi

Life and Love

Life can be understood only backwards
There are too many mediocre things you have to Put up with in Life
Love should not be one of them.

Rishi

Faith...

A tryst with the devil
is what a saint's heart needs
To test his faith..

Mountains to conquer
thorns to hurt

Invisible promises of peace beyond
Happiness unbound

A faith to live for.

Peepli Live !!

Watch it!!
Movie reviews is not my forte, but i happened to watch this movie
yesterday, My thoughts were...
Guilt.....
Surprisingly, i was feeling guilty for having to laugh at some
of the wittily narrated hard hitting realities of the Indian Kisaan.
This movie dramatically brings into focus the Political and Media
opportunist nature and the compliance of the Babudom to the political will.
Anusha Rizvi - You have set high expectations from me for your future movies, enjoyed Peepli thoroughly.
Aamir Khan - Good job done, these are the kind of movies a star should support.. Keep it up.
Viewers - Go watch the movie, it will show what a shallow life most of us lead, and the media hype is built up by our TRP's remember nityananda saaga etc etc?
Jai Kisaan is limited to giving Lal Bahadur's to the Farmer, and 8 million farmers have left villages to cities since 19 whatever,
does it matter 8 million out of villages, no wonder food prices are going up.

Control Phreak!!!!

All of us are under the illusion that we are in control - of our destiny, of direction, people, Priorities, etc etc.,
Only Partly true, I say,
Why? Do you ask...
Consider priorities to be marbles, let us say, u have 1 priority then the marble is a big one, and if you have 4-5 mid sized priorities, then they are medium sized marbles, if you have smaller priorities - Like in work (believe me work has to be a smaller priority in the bigger scheme of things), then they are smaller marbles.

Now  - If you want control, you can have control, it is not determined by the priority, it is always by the capacity of your palm,

YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL AS MANY MARBLES AS YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR PALM

Powerful thought, but also humbles you does'nt it? you can only control as many marbles comfortably, so have as less of them and as big of them for better control.

Why do i feel like a Zen Monk - damn i could have written this as a Zen story, but then this my original work would be lost.

that marble was not beyond me, i just let it be.
