The R e s i l i e n c e: May 2011

Resilience!!

It doesn’t matter…if our car broke down in the middle of the road, if the insurance costs became higher than our paychecks, if a burglar just managed to ransack our house & if the competition we so prepared for, failed...!

It doesn't matter...if our dinner got burned, if we lost on our most desired dream job, if we always got late...and failed time & again in love & health...The power of belief on which we all breed; the certain knowledge we have of our own; the enduring will which never gives in & the little stress that we must take, helps us overcome all the hardships, and gets us the very faith that 'everything' shall someday, one-day, be all right..........

"The harder we're hit by life, the stronger we get!!" And it’s our resilience that always helps, bring us BACK!!

The Beloved

You're supposedly the part time lover

And full time friend.

The craggy steep hill

And where the road bends.

You're the last train home

The scenic myopic route

The hand that keys the thoughts

The head that walks on air

You're the secret that I keep

The cries of the gulls

The storm, that beckons

The story, that unfolds...

p.s: As much as I have loved life as a journey, 'life' could be decoded as '5107' :)

A Java Story

I am the sugar cube in the coffee,
Like the starkness in this wicked sea,
I move up and down, round and round, in a rhythmic death dance.
Can't stay on top, Can't stay afloat,
Can't breathe below, not within nor without.
I consume me to transform you,
So I disintegrate and painfully dissolve.
I spread my sweetness like a contagion,
And annihilate myself for the greater good of yours.
So you'd sense me just as I’m gone,
Cause I had consumed me to transform you,
What remains, you'd still be known as the bitter coffee.
