Silence

Silence is absolute
Silence is omni present

If there's death, there's life
If there's life, there's hope
If there's hope, there's survival
If there's survival, there's birth
If there's birth, there's a womb
If there's womb, there's silence
Inside

Silence is absolute
Silence is forgiving

If there's darkness, there's light
If there's light, there's day
If there's day, there's night
If there's night, there's loneliness
If there's loneliness, there's sadness
If there's sadness, there's silence
Inside

Silence is absolute
Silence is punishing

If there's peace, there's war
If there's war, there's strife
If there's strife, there's violence
If there's violence, there's fatalities
If there's fatalities, there's death
If there's death, there's silence
Inside

Silence is absolute
Silence is despair

If there's meeting, there's parting
If there's parting, there's longing
If there's longing, there's heart break
If there's heart break, there are tears
If there are tears, there's inner emptiness
If there's inner emptiness, there's silence
Inside

Silence is absolute
Silence is black

If there's youth, there's age
If there's age, there's disease
If there's disease, there's mortality
If there's mortality, there's pain
If there's pain, there's suffering
If there's suffering, there's silence
Inside

Because
Silence is life
Silence is DEATH.

Saskun

Saskun is the word used by the nomads in Yarkand, China, for an illusion, where you feel you can see your destination on the horizon, you can feel it, almost touch it, and will be there soon, but in reality you are still far, far away..... This is the story of my Saskun..........but in reverse. The year is 1853. I am standing in the middle of the afternoon, around 2-3pm, on a single lane, black tarred road. All around, the land is barren, dry with scattered patches of brown grass. Something pretty similar to Khajurao or Jhansi. Semi desert landscape. And it's all hot and dusty due to summer time. The sky is clear and has a whitish haze due to the heat. The road goes straight and right ahead is a white rectangular pillar around 2 feet wide and 6 feet high on the left side of the road. There is a small square platform on top and then a round white structure on top. There is a white boundary wall on the left, but on the right side of the road there is neither a post or a bou

Tarae.....

saw "Tarae zameen pur" today. Finally! Thank God I was forewarned about the tear fest and was mentally prepared for it. Came out with only a couple of scenes which got to me.......like the one in which Aamir paints the kid laughing and obviously the last scene when he runs up to him. Nice movie all in all.

Foggy Days

23rd is my flight from Del to B'lore and the fog is on the rise! In all my wisdom I got the booking done for the 9am flight but looking at the conditions I feel even that to will be a bit too early. It's 12:30pm and the fog is still very much there over here in Lucknow. I guess, I should be mentally prepared for a long haul at the airport. And with two kids in tow, that should be fun!
