When the Sky was on Fire!

“But no matter how hard I run
I cannot touch the horizon
Trying to catch the sand that slips from under my feet
That runs between my toes
If only Time can be reversed.
It changes the colour of the water to the colours of the sky.
Chasing sunsets
As if they were mine.”

The self clicked pictures that follow were clicked on the day “When the sky was on Fire”! Clicked with a 2.0 MP Camera of my Mobile Phone, they are in no way "great pieces of Art". Nevertheless, felt like sharing them here! :D

    आसूं अब सूख गए
    पलकें बस गीली रही
    क्यों ख़ामोशी ने कुछ न कह हर भी सब कुछ कह दिया ?!
    शायद पानी और आग साथ कहीं नहीं मिलेंगे ...
    पर इन आखों मैं ही हम अपनी ज़िन्दगी जी लेंगे...

    *wink*... basically, i loved 'em! =) *hug*

    @Bani - Basically, you seem to know me really quite well. ;)

    P.S. As a matter of fact, they meet at the Horizon! It's just that we never quite reach there!;)

    P.P.S. Yes, it's by Charu. My bad. :)

That Was It!

Lean and lanky, he sat at his badly lit study table. He had spent most part of his youth and his entire old age in the same place, in front of the same bundle of papers, which would have once been blank, but now were a confused mess of mathematical symbols and philosophical meanderings. The batteries of his table lamp had long ago given up, but too busy to change them, he chose to carry on, letting the lamp shade accumulate dirt and his spectacles, a higher power. The cushion of his chair had sunk deep inside by the unmoving weight of his body. His fatigued mind could not remember the date of when it all started but his objective was still as crystal clear to him, as it had been then. He had embarked on the search for a separate identity, trying to defy the mathematical theorem of “Uniqueness of Identity”. “There is only one identity which is unique”. There has to be a way to finding another identity, a separate identity. Or so he thought. The Indo- Pak war, the Canadian War, the ne...

The MIC Syndrome!

Today, with deep admiration for myself and a few others who helped me in my discovery, I present before my readers a not-so-new genre of males: The MIC males, short for The Messed up, In Denial, Crying males! At the risk of sounding sexist and fearing unwelcomed remarks, the usual disclaimer is as follows: The category of humans being described here is just from personal experience or/and experiences of others that I happen to witness quite closely and observed acutely. Before really describing this genre, it makes sense to tell you their importance in the world. Well, to say the least, they help in bringing variety to our otherwise boring lives! If you are finally tired of staring at the ceiling of your house, it’s time for you to go out there looking for these men! Where will you find them? Now that’s a tricky one! Generally, their physical characteristics can be quite deceptive and they do not hang out in clusters like the geese. You really have to be lucky enough to be able ...

Spirals and Circles

So here is a mathematical answer to a question that I have quite often asked myself and seldom troubled my friends with: “Does life move in Spirals or Circles?” The course that life takes is often described as a maze by some and a road with lots of twists and turns by others. A complicated web of events, people, emotions and thoughts, caught between these is you, the spider. A lot of our religious books refer to the course of life as “the cycle of life”, which essentially means “the circle of life”. It is perhaps the phrase used most often during those innumerable philosophical discussions that boring people like us have over drinks with friends. Yes, I have been ranting for quite a while, without really bringing in what I promised: the mathematics! In laymen terms, a circle is a two dimensional figure which is a collection of all points that are at equal distances from a given point. Essentially, a circle starts and ends at the same point. A spiral, is a three dimensional figur...
