How true is truth???

Is truth a complete phenomenon? Can truth exist in isolation? Is truth subjective???

Questions which are so much a part of our lives that we live with them, walk, sleep, eat with them but do not want to answer them. Everyday we say thinks which suit, us or situations around us, which are neither lies nor truth. We live on this borderline where truth is too impractical and out dated to apply to our so called modern lives and lie is the heinous black thing we stay away from. Hence we live in a world of practical truths or half lies. We are not liars as we consider ourselves god fearing individuals however we are not stupid enough to speak 100% truth as that’s totally out of our way of functioning. The irony of the situation is that we have lost the meaning of truth in our translation of it.

Oxford dictionary defines it as a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle.
However, the point to verify it is in itself disputable.

Doesn’t truth vary from time to time? What is true today was a lie yesterday or vice versa. Then how shall we define the basic premise of this definition. Time is not the only factor that impacts truth but the interpretation of the person. Now, am I trying to add more variable to this already complex equation between truth and lies. Maybe yes. However, these variables are help me define the premise of truth. They tell me what can qualify as truth or its close relative, the half truth. Truth is not one mans exclusive right, thus each one of us can his or her own definition. Hence once again there will be a paradigm shift in the bases of whole debate and the hullabaloo about truth verses lies.

The third factor that impacts truth and its vital existence is a situation. I am indirectly pointing to the fact that there is something in this world called ‘situational truth’. Now something that should be indelible, imperishable, incorruptible, immortal, indissoluble and indestructible is amenable to time, person and situation. It would be highly unjust on my part to consider the equation (rather inequation) between truth and lie solved, on basis of three variables alone.

Our quest to discover beyond white and blacks shall continue, every turn of life shall make each one of us decide what is true and what’s not. As we learn at every bend of road, we make our discoveries and life teaches its lessons. Happy learning!!!

An evening

The colour of the amaretto gleaming in the glass
Like the setting sun over the horizon
And in the evening shadows
He sat there, the epitome of peace
Romance sparkling in his eyes
And the subtle curve adoring his lips
The silent statues heard the silent words
For the fragrance of raw almonds mingled with breath of amour
Words had their own melody
For she babbled on and on
And the infants smile never departed from those lips
Her bursting enthusiasm, her waving hands, her dancing eyes
Were welcomed by the warm face, the obedient hearing
His serenity that of a wandering soul who found its abode
The composed demeanour of en Englishmen wooing his lady love
The elegance of the ballet in the halls of royalty
And all this a tale of centuries, the heritage tale handed down generations
Told on the stormy night to toddler by his wrinkled granny
A tale knitted dotingly with mysteries
And there under the star studded sky…two souls turbulent yet calm
Two souls silent yet speaking
Two souls lost yet found
Two souls yet one moment
And I may not be there and you may go away
But a moment is created, an eternal one….

SUNSET

The fragrance of amaretto
The orangey color like the glow of the setting sun
The sun retiring to its luxurious abode
Into the embrace of its lover
The sea that engulfs this ball of fire in all its vastness
The lothario flushed with warmth of amour
The veil of clouds guises the dance of love
The shadows are subtle but the love passionate
Passion unleashed adding color to the heaven above and hell below
The lust melts every facade
For life seems eternity and eternity fades into insignificance
For the moment is holding the hearts swelled with love
Bejewelled with togetherness


For I saw, I felt and now I move on….I am just the passerby

MuSing

I feel the embrace of the fluffy clouds
And the wind that is playing with my hair
My ears try to catch the whistling winding sounds
The joy hidden in the ruffles of winter
A smile smothered in the sheets of my bed
A tear drop seeps into the foam of my pillow
And the eyes that look at the horizon
The veil of clouds adorn the angelic face
Fluttering lashes adoring the distant view
I twirl and turn like the lace
On the hem of my Barbie’s dress
The blurred vision and drowsy eyes
The mist that settles beautifully on the window pane
And the fragrant pollen trees
That stands silently across the lane
The numb the fingertips draw lines and curves
For the mind is in slumber
Lost in the dreamland far and away
The soul floats out of the body and reaches for the higher plane
And the I is lost in search of HIM
The joy, the fear, the solitude, the togetherness all mingled
the journey far, in the journey within, the journey eternal
all joy, all fear, all sorrow, all pain seems ephemeral
when the soul floats free, the curve on the lips
the play of emotion sin my heart
the tear wetting the pillow
the heart longing for you
halt, resign and lose themselves in the magic of LORD

Travel light

its Diwali…the light…the candles…the prosperity…the merry making
its time to clear the clutter
its time to breathe freedom
from shackles to doubts
for there is space for one and only one
joy or doubt,
keep thy not together; for all they bring is sorrow
it’s a journey of a lifetime
carry what thy heart asks for
shed thy burdens sour
live light, let the wings open to take that heavenly flight
for the heights await you, thou traveller

Why??? My heart questions

Every minute the mind thinks of the next minute
Every step strides forward for the next step
Every breathe leaves the body for next breathe
Every day gets over for next day
Why??? My heart questions
Why the next? Why not cherish this, here, now
In pursuit of making a tomorrow, why give away today?
Its this ….its now…its here…
Realise it before its too late
The next shall follow...its has been and its shall…nothing shall change the change
Its pretty …the sky , the clouds but the creases on the faces around
The bright sunshine and the air so pure but the annoyance in voices around
The glow of the setting sun but the withering smiles around
The peace in the air but the banter going on in every heartWhy??? My heart questions

Moment!

The winter sun is warming,
that sweet pink petal face of hers,
the chill in the air,
lights up her black eyes,
and everything settles,
upon the curve of her lips,
enchanted by God's creation,
thy grace holds his celebration,
the swooping eagle turns to a dot,
the fluttering leaves embrace,
that brown burnt bark, the twinkle of her anklets,

adds thy charm to environ,

behold thy moment serene, like my old cherished dream.

Wavering thoughts

I look outside the window
For the files on my table can wait
The computer screen can freeze
The tick tick of my keyboard can rest
The phone calls can be on a hold
the world can wait as I adore the tiny whites flying in the air…
as I breathe the chill
as I take the droplets and let them drench my soul
as I stare at the clouds and open my heart to fly
as I hear nothing but the music of the wind
as I transverse the realms of reality
to reach the unreached
to feel the unfelt
to speak the unspoken
to achieve the unachievable

Everyday

Everyday we go on
Thinking, Working, Doing,
Forgetting something
Everyday we stand in front of the mirror
Put on the lipstick, Crib about extra pounds, flutter the eyes
Forgetting something
Everyday we drive to the office
Work through the day, make hundred of decisions, confront problems
Forgetting something
Everyday we head back home
See our family, talk to them, have our dinner
Forgetting something
Everyday we go back to bed
Kiss everyone goodnight, close our tired eyes, prepare ourself for the next day
Forgetting something

In the rigors of life, in the turns and bends of life, in earning a living
Don’t forget to LIVE

Miles Ahead

The road seems clear,
lined with trees of pear;
Life sometimes puzzles and appears mirage,
Else a white blank sheet to create your collage......
Lost tracks are found,old friends sought ,
The greatest worries just fly out;
For now there shall be no tears,
Giving way to sunlight as cobwebs clear.......
Self within refreshed,eyes gleam with hopes,
As soul frees itself from dangling ropes;
With open arms and many smiles,
I welcome the day because tday,
I have to cover many miles................

Me & My Dreams

I dream with eyes open
I dream of the green meadows
of the setting sun
of the fresh air
of the evening shadows
I dream with uplifting thoughts
I dream of conquering the world
of making a mark
of lighting the spark
of straightening the curled
I dream with a esperate heart
I dream of removing poverty
of establishing equality
of ruining docility
of setting soverignity
I dream ; I fulfill,
I just don't dream ; I do,
I think ; I exceute,
With detemination in mind,
With kindness in heart,
With truth on my face,
With confidence in my actions.
Man is mortal , dreams immortal,
Hence with validity,My dreams shall come to reality.

A New Day has come

From the shadows of dark
to bring light of hope
A New Day has come,
past forgiven and forgotten
to beacon the coming of success
from the teachings of old
inspirations rise for young
glorious sun shines bold
As a New Day has come.
Bringing forth love in heart
breaking free shackles of past
with the glow on beaming horizon
peace is born to last
open your wings to fly
A New Day has come.
Sorrows be wiped
crimes be buried
laughter shall paint the sky
every happiness shall come by
love shall fly high
A New Day has come.
I concede to myself
I open my eyes wide
I see through the window hide
to find still darkness prevails
and my heart hails
A New Day will come...
A New Day shall come...

Hold It!

When winter snow blankets the earth,
When mother sings to sleeping infant;
When basking in the sun I forget all pain,
Oh Lord! Hold it! Hold thy moment....
When my anklets echo in the trees,
When the golden glow departs into night;
When the stars seem like diamonds,
Oh Lord! Hold it! Hold thy moment....
When the kite carries my dreams high,
When a little jesture brings a smile;
When a poor man has enough to eat,
Oh Lord! Hold it! Hold thy moment....
The world's turning Hell,
And little left moments of real joy;
Every pleasure drowned in a deep well,
I wish to hold it!
Hold thy moment bcoz those moments,
are few, Hold it! Oh Lord Hold it!!!!!!!!

Clouds cannot hide the Sun for long

Deep and dark, I slid into the morass
The anbeience seemed deadly, everything alas!
Vengenance and Greed danced the floors
Vanity and enimity dished the tables
Sorrow and Grief accompanied the guest
Blackness shrouded the heart's desire
The glory burned on thepyre.
A spark fidled in this ask
The clouds parted in a flash!
Smiles and glow adorned pretty faces
Love and laughter lively played
Name and fame gigled around
Friends and family ran along
Rhythm and music played the sweetest song
Because clouds cannot hide the sun for long.
