An epistle to the unkown: few words of graditude.

Have written a little in the past few days.. but due to the unavailablity of my computer ( which got hanged :(  ) could not post any of it.. will do soon... however this one is impulsive. :P

Its weird,  I like to write but I hardly read... yet, from the very little amateur reading I do I learn...

It’s amazing... some perceptions, there are some people who in a simple paragraph noting down general observations speak of some life lessons even the gurus can’t give, I don’t know if they themselves know it, that their common observations of an airport, some day to day event or even a beautiful explanation of their day about playing a sport and many such tiny write ups, not only inspires others but also gives away some tremendous life lessons which most philosophical journals strive to give, which often makes me think what are these people doing trying to make careers in different fields, neglecting their gift.. But then again whatever it is that they’re doing is only what makes them conceive these masterpieces. They may not be literary masterpieces, or world renowned... but somewhere deep down they click for me... they inspire me... it may be because I know about these people or simply because of their writtings... that i dont know but this post I dedicate those few known and not known people bestowed with the gift of words.. Who have unknowingly made me smile, inspired me, motivated me, helped me, and somewhere maybe to a very little yet significant extent made me who I am. So Thank you... I know you may never read this... or never know how you have helped me... but still i Thank you for your gift and for sharing it with the world.

You teach me that by this little writing that I do... if I can in someway bring that smile or that little change you got to my life.. in somebody else's world, if I too can in someway contribute... I should not stop, I should also continue to share, so Thank you to making me continue writing... Thank you for everything. :)

Buhbye.. will write soon...

Till then as I normally say.. love, laugh, cry, be happy, sad or whatever u feel like... just dnt forget to live !!

DEHUMANIZED


Its 3:30 am and i cant sleep, thoughts keep running in my head.. so I sit up from my bed and write it all down..
I keep wondering as I write, so scared that it might be true.. so I decide to ask you!

......................................................................................................................
DEHUMANIZED

No longer I see tears rolling down the cheeks
No longer I see fear in the eyes

The news flashes a million times
The death toll rises by the minute
And suddenly someone says,
“Just 10? That’s too less, that place is very crowded”
A shiver runs down my spine 
still in silence I reside
No longer I see tears rolling down the cheeks
No longer I see fear in the eyes

A normal drill to see the loved ones are safe,
And then we go back to our own lives,
People say move on, this too shall pass & that life should go on
And in a few days, the headlines become the background score,
The treading topic is now history,
The talk of town changes, everything changes
And in a few months we all learn to ignore...

It happens over and over again,
Every time the same game, every time the same drill,
It becomes so common that ‘just 10 people dead’ is no longer bad
It no longer affects you...
You know your loved ones are fine,
You crib about the government for a while,
And there the story ends.

No longer I see tears rolling down the cheeks
No longer I see fear in the eyes
A shiver runs down my spine
Are we all being so DEHUMANIZED??


pray for peace
