=============================
went with money to buy
when it was not yet there for sale
later tried with more money
but it was holiday
took more than money
but shop had shut
then used myself in exchange
but it was already sold out
who is the looser?
me, dealer or the needy?

"sold out" - poem
innocence v/s reasoning
My syllabus in India barely exposed me to Shakspeare's work.
Till I read the following I did not know how good Shakspeare's is...:-)
---------------------------------------------------
The charm dissolves apace,
And, as the morning steals upon the night,
Melting the darkness, so their rising senses
Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle
Their clearer reason
---------------------------------------------------
Very poetic way of saying how day light's reality blows away nightly fantasies.
drawing and painting
"drawing does not draw me"..but "painting forces me to paint...like watchng the television..."
"favourite drink" - poem
It's a long time I wrote a poem.
Thoughts were fuming since some time..today while waiting for my laundry I wrote it on a paper..
Favourite drink
---------------
drink that ended my quest
and fed my thirst
now is of little interest
drink that generated life
has dissolved my curious soul
drink, once of purpose
is now a compulsion
drink that stretched the life
seem to have diluted my own self

"wine, women, warmth.." - Darwin
"Knotted Tongues" book says Charles Darwin was a stammerer. I did not know this.
Book had a very interesting quote from Darwin;
"Wine, women, warmth, against our lives combine,But what is life without warmth, women, wine"
..so true...
India's Indipendence day....
Yestarday, Aug 15 was India's Indipendence day....
Me and my Chinese friend, J, were speaking about it.
J shocked me by saying "China celebrates their Independence day.."
I said "Yes, everybody have their own definition for liberty .
Even no more having to be compulsively nice to somebody could be defined as liberty"
".....can see through women...."- Groucho Marx
"Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot" - Groucho Marx
This is fascinating quote I read more than 10 years in 20 year old Reader Digest's magazine...
This great quote can be intrepreted in many ways, and this is all about that quote...
Me and my Chinese friend were trying to decipher this quote.
Chinese friend said "my interpretation is men can never understand women and probably vice versa."
Me responded, "If one can see through something, it means its TRANSPARENT. When something is transparent you are NOT seeing it; instead you are seeing what is on the other side of it. So, to see through woman, her body should be TRANSPARENT, and viewer misses the beautifull woman body itself. Do not a man miss something if he can not see the body? "
Chinese friend said "..the according to your theory even women can say same about the men.. " yes they can..
So, men do not want to see throught women because they miss her body.
Similarly, women does not want to see through men...
chaos in life
If hair were to quantify the amount of chaos in life., bald men will have most stable mind & life.
No wonder, love always follows bald men, because it makes practicle sense...:-)
can we pass on the life too?
Founder of a business, when he gets bored, could hand over the business to somebody and make sure the ground work is not wasted.
Similarly, can we pass on the life too..:-)?
songs that I do not understand
Today I listened to Italian songs by "Laura Pausini" and french/english songs by
"Keren Ann" on www.rhapsody.com . Karen wispers throughout the her albums and was buetifull. Karen say somethings like this in one of her songs "...I am, like river, do not listen to others, I just talk..."
Well..when I was listening to Laura's Italian songs, each songs increased my curiosity.
This has happened to me earlier also ...once I understand the song, I loose interest.
So let me not try to underestand..:-)
just news, no change
I used to fallow current events verymuch. Used play BBC online radio all the time,where they repeat news once 30mns. I had already stopped watching TV, few years back..
Example for how un-informed I am are, heard about tsunami after 5 days, and Popes died after later.
What would have happened if I had heard it. I feel how useless those news, at least for me. If I look at news today, by accident, I still see same religious fundamentalists fighting in different forms...so people wont change...no need to fallow them too..
corporate restructuring
When corporate restructuring repeats once in 6 month, mean changes are not working.
No one wants to restructre a working structure...
