A whirling dervish
caught in the swirl of life
this moment is but mine .
The Life within pulsating,
gliding in rhythm
a vibration to an elevation
seeker to state of wholesomeness
Is it me .
Like trees and the streams
in natural states of surrender.
The will of elements ...
Cannot we surrender to thee
And fly ?

Morning musings
thought id find space to park my morning thoughts ....
16.7.2009
Art is my nudity . I hope you like what you see ....
I have my set of principles .... never mind they appear to you of a low standard....
A proverbial Don Quixote with an idea of love ....err an ideal was it ?
Art is freedom .
Isn't it obvious men and women are different ? A lot of women don't quite understand that .
Equality is fine . . . respect even better .

Daniel Lewis.
Lou had agreed to drop me at St Johns . The medical center was about an hours drive from our area . Having left for the centre early in the morning , we were there by ten. My appointment was due for eleven am.
An upgrade in my insurance had made it mandatory to undergo these unnecessary and time consuming tests. Thankfully on a saturday I wouldn't be missing out on office.
As I confirmed my appointment with the attendant , I noticed a figure seated in a wheel chair about ten yards directly behind me in the patient area . What was it that made me feel I knew the person on the wheelchair ? Turning around to make my way towards the exit I stared in total disbelief , it was Daniel Lewis !
Daniel Lewis ? Danny Boy!! was it really him ? What was he doing here in Oregon ? Twenty years no maybe more was the last I saw him.The legendary Daniel Lewis ,the king of Soul here right in front of me .
We were neighbours back then. In spite of being older by almost eighteen years we had shared a lot in those years . I used to tinker with his guitar almost every evening after school . On weekends he'd have fellow musicians over and spend the best part of saturday night jamming into the wee hours of sunday morning .
Daniel Lewis was an orphan , a gifted one . Selling newspapers playing at birthday parties and funerals saw him through school and the first year at the university What he made was still never enough.
The turning point in his life happened soon after . An agent of Coldfish records happened to visit our town during that time . Daniel had somehow managed to persuade him and land himself an audition the very next day . I remember the time I met him hurrying along home all so very excited " todays a beautiful day little Tom , destiny it seems has taken notice of me , i may have a chance , is'nt that something ! "

Five Addictions
1. Express myself : Be it a few lines of poetry or an emotion or thought. On paper or on a blog.Archiving myself , I must say . :)
2. Fitting the pieces together : Finding meaning in visual life through Photography. Life as I perceive it through my eyes.
3. Internet : Guess im addicted . I did go in for detox ... doesn't work. So I kind of leave the detoxing to the days im travelling or sundays .The reason i've removed my net connection at home . Don't want to turn into a night owl. ( do I hear a tuhuit! there ;P )
4 . Travel : Haven't really been getting much of it lately but I like to travel. Distant lands specially driving all by myself that too at night . Bhutan .. Nepal ..Arunachal..etc.
5 . Music : Love music and Lyrics with soul. All genres . In fact i find the right kind of music rejuvenating enough to drive long distance non stop 24x4 er at least 24 x2.

My Mood tonight.
Surrounded ,
my many close ones ,
I chose loneliness.
Simple in want ,
and desire ,
I chose the supernatural.
To live ,
I envisioned death
My soul motivator .
A reasonto die
in its quest.
I chose love.
my many close ones ,
I chose loneliness.
Simple in want ,
and desire ,
I chose the supernatural.
To live ,
I envisioned death
My soul motivator .
A reasonto die
in its quest.
I chose love.
A thought.
Let not my misery find flow in words,
nor mirror reflections of my inner soul.
To be read and reread,
to empathize with me ,my loss.
No words of praise,
for my cleverly strung words of intensity.
Just let me be.
I have dwelled for far too long
on subjects of love , longing and misery.
I have nothing left to offer you.
My longings are real fraught with pain .
Pray what kind of entertainment can I offer you ?
I have witnessed my hair's greying ,
Now ever so close to my day's evening.
Somehow I wish I was born differently,
For now just let me be.
nor mirror reflections of my inner soul.
To be read and reread,
to empathize with me ,my loss.
No words of praise,
for my cleverly strung words of intensity.
Just let me be.
