Tinkling...further and further away


Tinkling further and further away
Rings a delicate bell
Telling me of a moment that is to come
Of fulfilment that has been
Devastating for the planetary orbits
But for you and me
We remain awakened in a moment that stretches into nirvanas
Sought by seers, sages, unenlightened many

Many moons back
When you lulled me into sleep
By stretching across an arm of endearment

I wept, for I knew it was never to be
A fulfilment that was so enjoyed by worlds

So when I feel blessed, it may be just by you
For loving me enough to hold me longingly just for that moment

We dance an eternal dance of pain
Where I may not have you and you may not have me
But we do know
We know that we have been together for what was a lifetime

It is not to possess you that I held you

It was to free you from lifelong shackles

Maybe you may never understand the pain

But the pain exists of not being understood

I let you go so I could not have you
And return to this realm once more
To be with you in another life


Life .....a paradox to all those who do not understand
But to me, it is only you that has been

And love

For without love, I do not exist

ARE SUSPENSEFUL TIMES AHEAD FOR MOVIE THEATRES?

Cinema viewing is a sport most city slickers look forward to. Going to the movies is like a mini vacation. Nandishi Shriram chats with Sanjeev Bijli, Joint Managing Director, PVR Cinemas to discuss the road ahead for multiplexes. The big screen cinematic experience is a real thrill. The treat of lying back on a plush, padded recliner, enjoying a Japanese Bento Box, served up by an attentive steward is irrepplaceable! Gone are the days of crawling into a nondescript, dark and dank smelling theater, wolfing down a greasy alu tikki burger with onion and tomato along with pumpkin ketchup…!! Only to watch Mithun doing his greasy swagger & running around trees with a buxom Ranjeeta….!! Instead, now when you walk in to watch a thriller like Andhadhun at PVR Luxe, you are assured a few hours of pulsating excitement. The credits roll in and the movie begins. The film script has very dark & grey undercurrents, with hints of the paranormal. The audience is on edge, watching Tab

Shackles....please let me be....

In a man dominated world, can I, a woman, find a place, free of shackles of fathers, brothers, husbands, pimps? I ask my sisterhood this. I request you to question yourself and the world around you and I want you to stop today and think. We require a world change and I will you, my sister, to weep for me, yet weep for the individual in you that got hidden somewhere in her role towards life that existed outside her and around her. Today, I question the very morality and the weft of the societies of the world. Tell me, what gives anyone the right to target the feminine gender as an objectified piece? Do you, my mother, my female sister, promise to stand & cover me when I am being led without any clothes in a village? Do you, O Sister, promise to castrate that man who raped me every night? I now write a sad story that might shake you, from your very complacent world. I beg you to rise with me and be one in that voice that says...ENOUGH.....I do hope that you will do this for yo

Eternity

And eternal lifetimes later, So came a time When you left me And we met in another time And what culminated from this...... Was just a timeless eternal grappling of two bodies Just entwined in a sorrowful embrace For it was only then that we realized That time never did exist It was not time that held us Or the silvery ropes of life That held me to you my beloved It was a yawning chasm of an endless well Into which i got sucked And that went beyond... Just beyond Beyond what we call space I flew into a maddening darkness Embracing the folds of my own skin Into a darkness that closed me in That made me gasp for air I grappled.... For air..... For water....... Yet no one came You just left me and went away And when I reached out for a light Then it was only you that I see It was a blinding curtain of shimmering light A light into which we both got sucked A warmth where I could not leave And an endearing love that you cou
