The night was silent except for the occasional rustling of leaves. The days were not longer anymore; nights had become unbearably cold, and his age was no longer by his side. Grey hair, broken spectacles, torn blanket wrapped around him, a walking stick, and with a kerosene lantern flickering in the winter breeze; the watchman sat on the steps in front of the lake staring at the horizon in anticipation of sunrise.

who are you?
It escapes free
A stream of glitter
that shines bright
Like a sparkle atop a cliff
In the middle of the night
I see her eyes...
The room is dark and cold
Filled with years of yearning
Of companionship and togetherness
And then the words wrap me
Keeps me cosy and warm
All through the night
I hear her voice...

soul searching
One is looking for someone. Is she the one?
She is looking for someone. Is he the one?
One would have to sail on a boat and brave the waves to trace the ocean and measure it's depths!

decisions decisions...
Half my career is a long stint in a company. All this while I was so occupied with work that I never gave a second thought to the sedimentation slowly clipping my wings. No, I'm not unhappy with the rating, promotion and role; from a higher rung I can see many wannabes where I once stood. Success does not spell satisfaction anymore. A victim of stereotyping, my soul is fading into the void of stereotyped blue achievers. It doesn't matter how good I am at things I do. I'm headed for crossroads driving blind. How long can you stay at a place you don't belong? A question I have asked myself time and again... Decisions decisions... The Dream Within...

On the movie - "The House Of Flying Daggers"
A love lost in time.
A new found love.
A love filled with
years of desire
for togetherness.
A love that desires
for years of togetherness.
A narcissistic desire.
A desire altruistic.
Austerities of love.
Emotions lost in time.
New found emotions.
In the end, all but the emotions remain...

Philosophy
A freak like me
Just needs infinity

new year, new beginning?
"Aaoo Huzoor Tumko
Sitaroon Mein Le Chaloon
Dil Jhoom Jaye Aisi
Bahaaron Men Le Chaloon..."
Couple of hours past midnight, the smell of cigarattee and orange light from the lamp fills the bedroom. Yet another year dawns a yet another beginning. Or does it?!

circles...
Just like the seasons, I change
What to believe, I feel so small
Fight for what's right, don't need anything
Turn around, and then want it all
There's so much I can say
Yet I wonder what I should do
I'm free, still tied and locked to emotion
But desire splits me in two
There I go running in circles
As the earth spins around
One minute I feel on top
And the next second you see, I'm brought down
Like a pebble on a beach
I watch the waves come and pound
Waiting for some inspiration
Or until fate comes around
The answers seem so far away
So I just close my eyes
It's so hard to understand
But the truth can not hide
There I go running in circles
As the day turns to night
One minute I feel on top
And the next second you see I've lost my sight
[Words: Lou Francese - Madrid]

silence..?
"Another beginning."
"Can you tell the difference?"
"What do you think?"
"Hmm..."
"Isn't it quite a thing."
"It is."
"Amazing!"
"Its amazing how it happens."
"Can you figure it out?"
"No."
"But not all things need an explanation."
"True."
"Are you searching for one?"
"What do you think?"
In the arms of morning
the stars fade in the twilight...
In the arms of night
the stars fall from the sky...
