valentines lost.valentines regained..........(a britannica beneath the destination)


pata hai...
yaha se bahut dur 
galat aur sahi ke paar ake maidaan hai.
mai waha milunga tujhe...............................................................................................................................................

so after twelve, the second hand strikes..a break through ,a new day,known world wide and so celebrated,understod too little yet elaborated so much,dilute in meaning yet concentrated to shyness.
In the background an age old noori song continues.the actress glancing herself in the mirror  oh closed eyes...
aaja re aaja re o mere dilber aaja ..
dil ki pyaas bujha ja re......
........................................

In my mirror i saw one small kid and one little serene afternoon.
I tell you afternoon was my first love---the very first valentine,days ago when i could not even pronounce this word phonetically.
and the list cotinues..time flows...entropy gets directed...

valentines lost, valentines regained

  1. JUST KIDDING  it all started with some serene afternoon of summer(1996-97).amidst coal fields there lie some structural sectors,blocks--bhuli nagar D block sector 9..i still remember.and better i remember 'my other ego'.one little kid sitting on the window desk of third floor,counting passerby vehicles.....and even better i remember one trackor accident that snatched all regale from me.that beauty beneath people shivering still walking hard to workplace,beauty of instantanious and suspense prevailing breaks,beauty of variable frequency of horn..and a lot that a beholder's eye can assume.bt an accident took all away and in exchange it fetched me some temporal marks and scars...symbolic of what i lost....and so i lost my first valentine,i left dhanbaad.

2.CRICKET  sleeping with radio set tuned in tempting volume,waking up just at 4 morning whenever newzealand toured india,and six morning whenever india toured australia ,..just to get the synopsis of adilade through BBC NEWS...there are many things i learned from cricket other than this early rising habits.the accent and tones in whish my english fluctuates is one of them.there are marked valentines with continuous afternoon to cherish the liveliness of test matches.

3.ACE AND OTHER 51  then one sunny afternoon my dad taught me the literal basics of different card games.something i got fascinated enthusiastically.this pack of 52 continued with me through several boarding lives...challenging rules and regulation,developing codes out of codes,flawless yet carefree..i never knew when i lost this valentine.

4.MATHEMATICS  mathematics is one of those lost valentine which assured me a brand(i mean IIT), before it passsed away.yet its foot prints are alive on the sands of my cerebrality.

5.SUMMER OF 42  among the stack it should be the last and most latest valentine i lost.left bereaft out of time travelogue.u see there is aship in the ocean that gets magnified as it approaches you and one morning u are needed to leave..the ship gets dwarf and more dwarf with time.obvious,expected as i predicted earlier
"then i am afraid of loss...........
this summer of   '42 will last one day.
what else will be left,
some incidents, names, days and premises.
what else will be left,
you, your self,your hugs and kisses.
the penetrating silence of my eyes say
let love be love;
and nothing else anyway.________________my hundred and first me(january 2011)

6.LITERATURE  out of multitudes of catheresis and catalysis,this is something that stills shares coffee with me.the genere has changed from society to romantics, the language is same.as it proclaims "if i will start changing ,the change in time will get overshadowed".

7.ALCOHOL KILLS  drink of solace is a solution.a tranquilizer and a chanellizer.people say it kills.....i rather say it murders.it murders emptiness.that is smthing i expressed some months ago______________
"i have collegues to drink drive and die
i have people to laugh sing and enjoy
but,oh! no lap to consume sink and cry.
ofcourse i m bad,worst r my habits
the long lasting debts,and rare r my credits.
but distant enough u r
to recommend me amendments
and distant enough i m
to interpret ur silence."____________ofcourse I am bad ,worst are my habits(august 2011)



8.THE DARK TEMPEST and my most recent valentine is darkness.age love for afternoon subdues...as night befalls.that i mentioned in my most latest note________
"a night or two before twilight.
moon was imperfect yet bright.
some tempest kissing my coconut tree..
some frequency from a radio tuned to bbc..
some pigeons silent ,white yet dark..
some wood fire flickering  , a hope in spark."_________tempests continue kissing some breasts(january 2012)


In the same mirror that i was talking about in the beginning....
in the mirror ,
i see a tempting glass of wine.
in the mirror,
i see a lone love sublime.
the dilemma of choice strikes the dilemma to dine.
the question persists  "will you be my valentine!!"

the track changes.
uper gori ka makaan niche chillam ki dukaan
aa a re aa re aa re.....................
(glass of wine and love sublime...bloody hell, both are my valentine)

लाइटर

मैं सिगरेट  तो नहीं  पीता खैर इत्तेफ़ाक़  से लाइटर रखता  हूँ | वो एक लाइटर जो  कोई मेरे टेबल पे छोड़  गया था ; सबो - रात  साथ साथ चलता है | जाने अनजाने किसी चौराहे माचिस की कश्मकश  में भटकते दो एक आवारे मिल जाते हैं, मैं लाइटर बढ़ा देता हूँ | बड़ा सुकून है इसमें किसी को बेपनाह जलते देखना और फिर चुप चाप निकल जाना ,  नए हमनवा  की तलाश में || शायद लाइटर के साथ साथ कोई एक नैतिक जिम्मेदारी छोड़ गया है इसे जलाते रहने का इसे जंग से बचाने का | काफी  कुछ पेट्रोलियम कैद है उन्मुक्ति की उम्मीद लिए ; क्या पता ऐसे ही मिट जाए धरा का अँधेरा इन नन्हीं नन्हीं चिंगड़ियों से ||

KERALA TOURISM :DAY 2 and ALLEPPEY BACKWATERS

May be because " It's always our self we find in the sea.”   or may be because the strong analogy water hold with life as it goes on irrespective of whatever it dissolves ...or may be the inductive serenity , You never get tired of water . “It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.”  ―  Nicholas Sparks ,  The Notebook Comfort ,freedom, an aura of redemption and the sunny rays reflecting back from waves ,kissing my cheeks and knowingly or unknowingly melting the sun cream ...I have never expected more than this from nature . The day with Alappuzha/Alleppey was precisely a floating day  :Six good hours of boating across Alleppey backwaters . And it all began like this    The panoramic view of back waters taken from boat    Coconut trees have its own charm."And the kerala coconut beer is a must try, its sumptuous in taste and cheaper than kingfisher "said one resident. Anyway it w...

KERALA TOURISM : namkeen paani and day 1

                Before I start putting the glances of god’s own country as they say ,that train journey extended over  the span of 48 hours deserves a firm mention . The worst part of story was : no pantry car ,that simply means food was an issue and was like a setback to foodie people .People were racing between the halt time of train bringing something and something as its good to have something than nothing .And the best part of the story was : Chinua Acheyba . I was rushing through his cult classic magnum opus “ things fall apart ” till end of the journey before I completed it . And when ever I passed by a lingering line ,it was a time to take a break and discuss. "When the moon is shining the cripple becomes hungry for a walk." Anyway the breaks  were variably filled by playing cards, sleeping and of course arguments. Prolixity has never been alien to this country . You just need t...
