Coherent Ramblings - Goal, Destiny...




Goals
The eager anticipation
In the quest for a goal
Or is it the process itself
Image result for journey
Of aiming for the goal
Where you have put your heart and soul
All focus and energies
Aiming for the goal
Who cares about the question
As long as the goal is met



Image result for human destiny

DESTINY
The force of destiny
Has lot of force
To define your life
To take it in a direction
Which you never thought of
Is it really??
You could still move with the force
Yet decide to swim with the flow
Against the tide at times
To begin with who knew to swim
Learnt swimming
In this force
And paved a new way
To create our own
Destiny


Image result for MOTION

In Motion
The surprises that life throws
At you can be overwhelming
At times
At times to be taken in your stride
To pretend as if nothing has happened
As life has to move on
The wheel called time moves on
No one has time
To wait and moan for you
In the swirling merry go around
That never waits
Just moves on
Sometimes in routine motion
And then surprise movements
That cease to be a surprise after sometime

Not so daily musings !!: Back after a long time !! US ramblings

Not so daily musings !!: Back after a long time !! US ramblings

Back after a long time !! US ramblings

It definitely does not seem like yesterday . The last blog posting I made was a few years back . A lot of water has flown under the bridge as they say in these years . Hope to be more consistent going ahead as all my friends insist I should be ..:)


Here are a few poems I wrote during my recent trip to USA- coffee etc and its spelling etc did not bother me much...







The Statue
The great statue of liberty and enlightenment
Swinging with the winds and the changing times
Reminds
Us that freedom is not free
But it is important
To break the shackles
Both within and outside
That’s the time when
The real liberation
Happens
Both from within and outside
The internal outdated thoughts and patterns
The outside distractions and obstacles
And even screaming priorities
Its upto to you
To choose, select
Or just do a ctrl+alt+del
That’s creating your
Personal statue of liberty
That stands tall and mighty
In the ocean of life


Learning to Relax
I am learning to relax .
To look at things and not think .
To see and yet not reflect .
To enjoy the sun ,the wind ,the chill
and yet not dwell about any hidden meaning .
to simply live in the casualness of the Moment
and enjoy this beautiful
Journey called life that goes from one destination to another
 I Am learning to enjoy the moments
Without any learning  

Water..

By the Brooklyn water front and bridge

The water front resonates with me
the ripples are like the hundreds of thoughts coming to my mind time and again
some reach the shores
some don't or do they .
That's the mirror of the mind -the water front
There are embankments
And some open areas
We don't know when 
The flood happens though
Most of the times it's calm
Seemingly Calm
A thousand waves are created and broken
 in this calm Mind daily


My Selfie Moments
I have had my selfie moments with myself and my thoughts . Uninterrupted undiluted me .
That's working to understand the real me .
The stuff that I hide from myself
the things I just want to keep below the carpet
In the womb of time .
I wish they weren't there but they do gnaw
I better deal with them.
It's these selfie moments which show the real picture warts and all the blemishes sans make up that's what I sought
In the crowds of Manhattan
The cheers and claps at Broadway
The causal conversations and aimless walks there was an aim
For sure 



Way... ward and Journey series





In transit
As the people come and go
So do the thoughts
Headed some where
But can land anywhere a times
Else most  of the times a safe landing is assured
The body in in transit’ but the mind could be static
Or vice versa
This journey indeed
Has many dimensions

A new place
A new view and new landscape
With new voices and words
Yet the theme of meeting and parting
Of meeting again
Discussing the different and same things continues
There is a new hue yet everytime
You step in this place
Which is then no more new

On Paris
A  quiet vibrancy
That underlies the
Silent activities
A life brimming with life
Seems same
Yet so different
The warmth
With a different hue and sophistication
The newness of the place continues to charm
The traveler  or one and all




Way
Which is this way
Which I don’t know
That I  am on
As the thoughts take form of words
And later some insights
Capturing the multiple essences floating
All around 


Our Journey
The journey
Of exploring questions and answers
Is a long one at times
Short one depending on the
Nature of the questions posed to you or by you
Nevertheless the wheels are in motion
Moving fast at times
At times inching ahead
With a dreary slow pace
Yet covering an important ground
Even if you are not aware of it
The journey despite all variations
Still continues





Two Roads

Two roads running along side each other .                                 The try to meet but don’t bother . The seem to meet and then depar...
