Whose lens is it anyway!

Beauty they say lies in the eyes of the beholder!
Behold then the multiple perceptions of reality ....
amidst the varied threads of relationships....

Dear road,... lead on!

I walked through long winding roads,
to destinations known and unknown
with friends new and old....
The journey was a series of photographic moments captured then...
and now recaptured in words...!

Laughter and Anger, scowls and smiles... Emotions etched in nature...
A look at what nature creates and recreates as our emotions ...

Look Back Into The Future....!

It was a persistent longing
A nagging wish –
For that deep and knowing nod and smile…
From that someone, who you know so well…

I wait and look for it, and gradually feel it at every instant,
And when it comes back,
My mind dances to the rhythm of that touch

The past comes to me like the angel of truth
Spreading the brightness of truth around her
She arrives like the forest on fire
Blazing to devastate the wilderness which stunt the growth of beauty

It is that one moment that I longed for
That one knowing moment
That moment of togetherness

It is that skein of togetherness
Which anchored our lives together
Which embroidered those two long decades

It was that skein which went through they eye of my needle
And instilled in me an impulse to stitch the hem of my life

As days went by I realized that it was only the hem that was sewed
There was so much still left to sew
So much more to design and fashion
Out of one’s thoughts, experiences and emotions

My mind then travels forward in the space of time
Trying to bridge the past with the future;
And perceives that image when at the brink of life
ME – the tailor of my LIFE – visualizing
That huge garment which had till then adorned me

At that brink of Life – I felt –
I wouldn’t want to see a ‘waste of wasted years’… not anymore…
