Looking for those cracks

Another experience and a new door opens,
    I interpret some more...
The mysteries keep evolving,
   and I seek new doors
I interpret some more...

I see the whirlwind rise up in the desert,
  the mighty mountains holding their grounds,
I see the sun going down the valley,
  and hear the loud silence of the mountain ranges.

The stories of natives reveal the unity of life,
so does the revelation that love is supreme despite.

Everything is a door, it seems, 
And I interpret some more...

The Importance of Being Lost

-
My annual trips to India include a sojourn to Pune where I spent 10 very formative years of my life - the early two being life changing.  It is here that my parents, puzzled about what to do with my life as well as some sincere intentions to give me worldly education, sent me to board and educate myself at the nationally revered Fergusson College in Pune. I was all of 15 when I said goodbye to everything stable in my life - mom's food, dad being at my beck and call, friends and plays, the television, and my bed.

People will love the stuff, think greatly of you which will change the way they have always thought of you but it will also change the way you think about yourself. And after a span of thirty or so minutes after buying the stuff, you go back to your original state of mind. GONE! The respite to this undesirable outcome is that there is always,always another stuff to take you through those steps again, and again. Its our way to measure ourselves and others. Sounds familiar?

A Rendezvous

We sit on jute chairs, facing each other,    the cup of tea steaming the ambiance. There is grass beneath our feet,    the clear sky with the magnificent stars above us. The birds sipping on the clay pot nearby,    the violet petunia stands in stillness. We don't say a word,    we just take in the silence. But we clearly recognize the moment,    the moment where everything we needed was right there. There was nothing urgent, nothing less important,    everything was just there. And there was love...
