PINK!!

I was reading some articles on the world wide web when a particular article about WOMAN: EQ versus IQ intrigued me. Suddenly i found my choler rising. So "here i am" and as Bryan Adams sings "this is me" with a laptop with a keypad working in synchronization with my mind and absurd thoughts. Whats my present mood? "well! I really want to write a good write up!!" The inchoate idea that needs to take form in words is the color PINK..it has been a lingering thought and a dormant subject which needs a voice. I am dazed confused bedraggled and in this present state i continue to type.
The color PINK..Have u guys heard the song by Aerosmith called PINK.. Pink is the color of passion as well as Pink is the color of love you have just discovered..as well as Pink is the new lingo and it goes with any fashion!! Well, sincerely weird observations but this color has been out there associated with things which are so bizarre and unrelated. For example on one hand you relate pink with communist or leftist ideas and on other hand we easily finds its proximity to love ( for that matter an undiscovered one) , feminism and awareness for breast cancer. Emotions, politics and ladies are no sisterhood and here i am sitting perplexed and slowly realizing that this is one favorite color which gets itself attached to anything one likes. For other colors like Green its simply Verdure and thus Prosperity. As for Red its Blood as well as Danger or a Stop sign on one of our irritating traffic lights. All these relations makes sense but Pink is adaptive!!

The newest avatar of the color is to much hyped metro-sexual breed of our new age men. Simply by sporting a cute pink shirt and t-shirts one finds them canvassing for the idea " Girls! know what we can cook, we know the difference between a facial and a face pack and we can care for you as your mothers!!" well Guys the point noted and bang!! the color is a new insignia for a new idea!!

Pink is also one color that never gets out of fashion. The color which flaunts oodles of feminism [Of course when it escapes the wardrobes of our new men, nowadays] is also making its subtle and soft presence felt among formal hues like blacks,browns and whites. A pink formal shirt will not seem out of place now in any corporate office. Thus apart from being adaptive its a kind of new obsession, a wave that will grip your mind at one point of time in your colorful life. I easily remember that as a kid when somebody used to ask me my favorite color it was always pink..but then this idea of color pink felt puerile and i was drawn to "Better" colors. That was some years ago, this Pink Grip is back and as Steven Tyler from Aerosmith sings[says] " Pink is my new obsession" yet again.

The pink advantage is that it can also easily replace color RED. Take a serious look around a mall during first and and second week of February or what we call or market as "valentines week". So, instead of painting the city red we have painted the city pink! I bet, if colors were living persons Pink would be the richest color on Earth. With all the endorsements and marketing strategies associated with the color...that reminds me, Have you checked out the new pink laptop or the mobile phone or the new pink ipod.. it will certainly go places and bypass fields.. Pink and electronics!! Pink papers and Pink piggy banks and Economics!! And the word possible has just got a new meaning!

And its no new phenomena when rich starts supporting a cause..and here we are..a pink ribbon stands for awareness for breast cancer..so whether pink stands for sexuality, goodness, grace, beauty,bling and so much more... I hereby conclude its definitely more than a color!! I am PINKED! and know what i am not even grammatically wrong!!!

I kept my dreams in a wooden box,

And nailed the lid so tight,

I tried to walk away from my shadow,

And ran into a room so dark,

I denied the wind that I can feel it,

And held water in my palm,

My home echoed and felt strange,

The words I spoke were unknown.

And I thought that walls will shrink,

But I could not escape from an open room,

I was jailed though had freedom rights,

It was suffocating though the window wasn’t closed,

I saw colors draining away and begged them to stay,

Then I saw that wooden box sitting on a dusted table,

And realized that it was not my dreams that were chained,

I saw myself lying there in the box, half dead,

And as I struggled to open the lid, my hands bled,

My heart pounded so hard, I gasped so often,

How tight was the lid, I felt strange for what I did,

But when it finally opened, sunshine hit me,

I felt a breeze and the room was brimming,

I embraced my dreams, but indeed hugged myself,

I was back, breathing to life, happily living!

THE FREE MAN

Fetters around my ankle,
And the wings are clipped,
A paean whistle in the air,
The Victory is finally here.

She arrived last night,
I was sleeping deep,
When the dawn broke,
I saw her, she was a beauty.

She touched my bruised fustian chest,
And the Pain released my whipped soul.
She smiled and the Morning star shone,
Whispering that she will stay.

Is this a dream or I have escaped,
My mind is devoid,its still,
My eyes wipes away the umbrage,
My heart embrace the truth.

Fifty years of my living,
And the maelstorm that surrounded us,
The attempts, the failures, the sacrifices,
All merged into her.

Those nights that i felt weak, and cried,
I realized, that she was always watching.
For these eyes.gleaming before me,
Made me a sentinent man!

I was betrayed by my blood,
And cast away from the world I fought,
My life could have been easier their way,
But against the words in the Holy Book.

Did i belong here?
For I failed to be an epigone of Distrust,
And I wondered where is my land,
How i will find the way back.

And as she sat next to me,
I realized she will take me there,
When tomorrow i will be stoned,and die,
I will be a free and a happy man.

And together we waited for the hour,
And when they will come, i will smile and leave,
But will come back for i want them to see,
That my life was rewarded in the end!

I M STILL WAITING!

its dawn at my grim window,
and my eyes searched the door,
dreams are still unanswered,
but i m still waiting,
waiting in the dark!

do u still believe in miracles?
and wait for the touch f the wand,
or t secrets held by a calloused hand,
but i m still holding,
holding the belief in the chant!

the beauty of stars is ethereal,
and heaven so surreal,
sounds of seraph echoes the misty hall,
but i m still moving,
moving away to a forlorn land!

And when light will be pure n white,
and swan will not sing,
the flowers will greet my words,
but i will still be searching,
searching for impunity from my sins!

and till then the smiles will be fake,
and glamor will expel,
love will be a liar in black,
and i still be a beholder,
beholder of my deeds and swords!

a thought......

LIFE, HE THOUGHT,HAD BEEN DEFINED AS MOTION,MAN'S LIFE WAS PURPOSEFUL MOTION: WHAT WAS THE STATE OF A BEING TO WHOM PURPOSE AND MOTION IS DENIED, A BEING HELD IN CHAINS BUT LEFT TO BREATHE AND TO SEE ALL THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THE POSSIBILITIES HE COULD HAVE REACHED, LEFT TO SCREAM "WHY?" AND TO BE SHOWN THE MUZZLE OF A GUN AS SOLE EXPLANATION.
HE SHRUGGED,WALKING ON: HE DID NOT CARE EVEN TO ANSWER......
AYN RAND!

dnt beg for mercy!!!

THIS IS WHAT AN AYN RAND DOES TO YOU:

While reading a venerable book,i have propensities to think about arcane methods of preposterous nature and to abet my mind which has been in abeyance for some interim. Reading this i can visualize the baffled countenance of yours, as an epitome of my intractable manifestations to increase my vocabulary and my deplorable state of flaunting it too. Thus leaving the reader perhaps the readers to concert a plot against me and leaving me in utopia!!

HERD INSTINCT

What is Instinct? well, i will suggest "gut reaction", "intuition", "knack", "feeling", "hunch" etc!
And what is a herd? The first thought that comes to my mind is that this term is somewhat related to animals, not one with a pair of foot but pair of pair of foot! But literally herd is an assemblage or a crowd. Thus, herd instinct shall be "gut reaction of an assemblage" or "knack of a crowd". Man has always considered people's view more precious than an individual. Quoting Ayn Rand, from Atlas Shrugged, "men are not open for truth or reason.....Yet we have to deal with them. If we want to accomplish anything we have to deceive them into letting us accomplish. Or force them. They understand nothing else"! Here "we" is for people who are individuals, they follow their own instinct, and the one they have to force are the proprietors of herd instinct. Herd Instinct was not always negated to reason. Sometimes popular view is right and its easy to do things which everyone is doing. Remember the same questions done by you in a class test as your bench partner because then it shall be easy to co-operate and pass! Maybe the one thing attractive about herd instinct is that, to follow it is easy n achievable. But, herd instinct is difficult to follow when you have your own reason and instinct which is disparate to theirs. When you think of doing something implausible and incredible and they stop you or discourage you from doing it.

Well, what made me think about Herd Instinct? I am really impressed with the character of DAGNY TAGGART and HANK READERN and their venture of the John Galt line in " ATLAS SHRUGGED" One may say that they are materialistic duo, but they live a life of purpose more than that they happen to possess intellect when even an institute of science in the book fails to use it! Thinking differently is not always right, but when you think different as well as right and its not popular, then i suggest you should read the part 1 of this book. Cannot suggest about the remaining 2 parts as i m still on part 1 but i think it will be a great reading expression.
