I feel that, I can make this world a better place, by being the catalyst.
I fail to understand the need for violence, but the cause is so obvious that most miss it bad childhood/upbringing(?). Society while setting expectations, fails to encompass those it shuns(quite obviously).
By looking down upon and trying to keep them down, one day it faces their wrath, simply because they have become too big for it to hold on.
Even as a government fires against its own people, in India, we see a group of Gunmen(Naxals), holding the nation to ransom. It is a pity, that so many lives have to be lost and yet all we care about is what an actor wears/ does.
There are many here(like IHM and Indyeah ) who talk about issues and about the better things in our country. While I am a firm believer in ‘doing’, it is necessary that we have people who write like them. I do wish that better sense could be translated to the country at large by the main stream media.
While on the way back from Chidambaram, I had an interesting conversation with an aunt of mine, about my gen. and the nation. I think every gen. has an onus to carry a nation forward. While a few outstanding personalities may be the actual representatives, it is people who make up the nation.
And among the people, we have trend setters who dare to tame the loose winds of change and purport a silent revolution through their works. Artists aren’t mere call girls of history, they are its pillars who hold, bear and show the whips and scorns of time(so to speak). It is left to these people, graced by wit and hardened by time, to open and reopen paths, which can lead to betterment.
A common theme today is that humans are meant to live in harmony, with themselves and the world around. While this seems a middle class fantasy, the truth is that while stratification is a natural phenomenon, the way the different strata interact with each other is greatly dependent of human virtues.
The presence of myriad castes and haggling Gods, sects, groups etc ensures that Utopia and Ethiopia are worlds apart. While on one hand diamonds are born out of blood and men drive planes into another country’s purse and take away THE MOST PRICELESS CURRENCY- life, on the other hand, we drive towards a world where a slate no more requires chalk and a touch opens the world.
Education is a necessity, which like any necessity, depends on how rich you are and how much you can afford. While, public systems exist to inspire equality, its functioning is far from ergonomic. On one hand, we strive to slash drop out rates and on the other we brand our children, with the pathos of capitalism discrimination. While languages still form a barrier, we try hard to reduce it, yet very little is done to remove the old prejudices.
Schools should aim at opening the minds, so that the rabbit on the moon, is understood to be craters and at the same time the ability to recognize the fact that someone realized that it looked a rabbit. Yet we carry on with a myopic nonchalance and conclude that the previous generations turned out just fine.
Technology more specifically the computer tends to fill in this for those with access(I worry at the thought that the Gods might soon rule this world as well), but from the rest, very few have a chance.
What fails to be recognized, is the fact that potential is developed with nurture, which is made of the twins – emotional and intellectual. There is no science or art, which can be felt and understood without the help of these two.
Yet we hail one and forget the other – making the other one angry. It doesn’t take a genius to notice this. There is a need to heal ourselves. The cunning of exploiters cannot be culled unless every child born in the world, smiles with innocence and feels the warmth of love.
Every war wagged and every man, woman and child suppressed yesterday has led to a situation where even as a few of us use our intellect for better purpose, others are led into watersheds of hell.
It is time we start exercising, if we do not, tomorrow it our body that will crumble and we will be the suffers. While wisdom can guide, it is the same people with wisdom, who at times seem to stand in our way- no one is right, no one is wrong, but to us the future belongs, remember.
P.S:- These are just my views. You can disagree with it/add to it 🙂 I am always willing to learn 🙂

saving earth,for what?
July 31, 2008 § 9 Comments
a hundred problems to be solved,
a hundred issues to be resolved.
We need to save ourselves,
we need to understand where survival dwells.
Understanding is created by thinking,
thinking walks faster with understanding.
And through understanding comes action
and through action,redemption.
Shove your hand up and see,
how we have hurt all that was free.
Feel the dust on your bed,
see the avid life,now dead.
We breath an air, polluted,
we walk on grounds cemented.
One day we will can the air,the killer,
and the ground the pyre.
One day the ice all would have melt away,
that one day future will sit around tables and say,
“what a waste our ancestors were,care
they couldn’t ,not even for us,their heir.”
One day we all will see the clouds too hungry,
and with floods we all will be left in poverty.
Then, then we will know,
that all that wasn’t just meant for a T.V. show.
Time has always gone by,
one day,yes we all will die,
but with us let not everything die,
let us leave everything else alive.
Let us remember we don’t own earth,
let us remember we are progeny of earth.
Let us remember that it our decision to make,
we cannot let it go,for our future’s sake.
We need to be sagacious,
we need to stop being precarious.
Think of everything you use,
think how in dearth,you children will muse.
It is our earth ,not yours or mine.
We need to keep it just about fine,
so that humanity can live on,
even after we all are long gone.
for the future
July 23, 2008 § 14 Comments
This is my 200th poem.
A million things to say,
each for a far of ray.
A million wants to be fulfilled,
each for every second lived.
A million ideas are born,
yet before we can act most are gone.
More than a million years,the earth has lived,
yet for it to be what it is ,many have been killed.
More than a million lives has been given,
to let humanity,its hold strengthen.
It was a long time back that everything began,
it will be only for a while more that man,
can rule on that which is not his.
We say it is our destiny,but what we miss,
is that we are the makers of it.
What is truly fit,
is that which is nature,
which by time is still in nurture.
What will be the future?
what will help us to travel further?
unity,might be an answer,
but who will be the leader?
We are nature,
we are nature,
and together we are the savior
and the harbinger.
So let us put or millions together,
it might make us better,
so whatever you are,a banker,
a engineer or a baker,
just put something in,
doing good is no sin,
just listen,
together,
better,
is the only thing which can happen.
or well soon everything will be Nothin’.
So do yourself some good,
well whether we like or not we all should,
for it is not for you,not for me,
it is for the future,whom in your dreams you see.
FOR THE SAKE OF A BETTER TOMORROW
June 14, 2008 § 6 Comments
my world-
i have inherited it.
It is full of all that
is not needed.
My world-
i have borrowed it,
from the future.
I have a world,
i wish to make it better.
i wish to make it better,
i want to add all that i can,
which will get it rid,
of all that is too salty
to let growth be growth.
i have a world which needs change-
people need to know love,
people should know how to bow,
with respect for themselves.
Animosity is the biggest vice,
its avarice has been filled by
poverty and illiteracy.
I have a world,
i want to change it.
I want it to be a suite,
filled with everything nice.
There should be no more lies,
there should be no more bias.
I have a world,
it needs many a changes,
i wish to eradicate jealousy.
I want people to see,
that they are what they are
meant to be.It means try to strive,
try to rise,but don’t indulge in
jealousy,for what is not your’s will
never be.
I have a world,
it is filled with burden,
of blind faith,
and illicit baits,
which draw the heroes
and make them late.
I have a world,
it needs some advise,
and to preach,
i need to practice,
so i try to understand
what goes by.
The world
needs something good,
first let it be food.
A few hoard them and
when questioned,people
are beaten.
I have a world
it needs change.
There is war,
there is misery,
i search for a
way to remove them.
a plant needs its sunlight,
and we have become so huge,
that our eyes no more
can see the perennial
light,so our rivers have run dry.
i have a world to save,
it is for the future’s sake.
It is left to you,
who i trust and me to make
it a better place,
not just for our race,
but for everyone’s sake.
It is time we strengthen our base,
correct our ways,
and come out of this phrase.
For the sake of a better tomorrow.
Let not our future cry,
while we die ,
let earth be the place of life.
Inspired by this post.
LIVE FOR EVER!
June 13, 2008 § 6 Comments
think-thought.
life-death
earth-ether.
never-ever.
dark-light.
live for ever,like a eye,
live for ever,you will never die.
for that you needn’t lie,
just go around and lay,
your gifts’ gifts all around,
and all the good,
will come back to you.
and you shall be known,
at least your name shall be
sworn,into the books
of time,for times to come-unknown.
believe in your self,
believe in your life,
thats is all that is required,
for nothing which is desired,
shall not be got,
everything in life is bought
and has a price,
what it is,is what you decide.
Make your own rules,
but abide by,
try everything you can,
but never say no one can.
the past was engraved for today,
the future shall be engraved for future,
live life,even if you are bound,
for whatever it maybe,
redemption is caused by our own
known knowledge.
have faith,keep your good fight,
you will shine like the light.
the light shines the brightest.
now and then,time to awaken
February 25, 2008 § 4 Comments
all bubbled water full of pride,
we no longer can hide
and this has led to strife.
ago-they lived life,
not at the edge of knife,
but by seeing everyone as nice.
now we are cobwebbed
at each other and frustrated
about our lives.muted
no more we are,for no more rooted,
to our culture-venerated-
we soon might become wasted.
we think now how to save-
after all that rave.
with nature we have lost enclave,
now we try to engage,
covered by many a percentage,
as how to envisage.
between now and then,
in the transmission,
we forget to ken.
between now and next gen,
we never know when,
we might lose our skin.
together we can-
with our past forgotten
and of love for human-
our unity will strengthen,
our earth will be given
what was from it taken.
