I have fallen into your life,Did I trip, did I stumble or did I jump? Does it matter as long as I am here?
I have fallen into in your heart,Through a crack in that armor you wear so well, But does it really matter as long as I am here ?
I lay here thinking about you all the time.You're the only thing that sticks inside my mind.
your touch that brings in me reactions not found in any scientific study
your smell fills my air, the fragrance i found in no blossom,your whisphers in my hear like the sound of a rain drop touchin the sand
Through thick and thin,You're there by my side.You promise to be there.You keep me alive.
so rich and so rare,a feeling so glowing and it just keeps on growing,and both of us know
it will always be there.
With you,is where I want to be,because I found someone who loves me just for me.
All I see in this world,is no one else but you and me.
i donno if someday this kinda poetic thoughts may cease but i knw my love for u will never will....
in your heart, i remain....

A new place.. a new season....a new reason...
Its been sometime since i scribbled something and like most others hope to scribble as often as possible
Its been an exciting fortnight at Blacksburg full of scenic splendor and lazy elegance .
I am glad that I am the destination of one dream journey I had as teen though i realize
it would be the starting point of yet another dream ...
Then, I was like counting the years i thought it would take to complete my twelfth standard...
Amazingly time flies away so fast and am glad tat am back to school after 5 years of higher education and 3 years at the work place . ..
These days am filled with nostalgia about my time at Anna University which I bet is one of the most wonderful places on earth :) . The shade filled walkways, the expansive stretch of coolness brought about by the lusty trees, the huge ground where many a class was bunked to pursue
skills in whacking the ball hard and running behind leather , the stealthy and alert monkeys and the guileful deers on campus , convivial buddies who made my days there....

Hot and Sultry Chennai would always count as my favorite place on earth. The people and places and the memories remain very deep rooted. The coastline has always been the best way to spend leisure providing immense joy and soul searching.... No body can beat the kerala parotta shops, kai endhi bhavans, nair tea kadai and the smallest shop provided the most tasteful of chutneys.... food never tasted better !!!!
I'd never experienced winter in chennai but here I am all set to shop clothes for the forthcoming winter here !!! people wearing shorts to class, daring to interrupt profs irrespective of the consequences , the trees with a golden tinge of green, the pleasant chillness of the air....
hmm lemme enjoy a walk before the frost sets in....

To Be or Not To Be
To be practical or to be ethical
to hang the depravingly guilty or to give 'em a chance of redemption
to stay in line in traffic while every other cycle, bike and even bus zips past you crossing
over the dividing line and caring less or to follow their way, breaking rules and when intercepted
by a police guy, to plead ignorance and slip a couple of note onto his pocket or get chargesheeted
and pay the actual charges in court.
To be the person eating, drinking and sleeping work or to eat, drink and sleep once durin work and once after ;)
To wander aimlessly in peace in an unknown place on a holiday or meet known people and visit their known homes aiming to strengthen relationships, trying to bond with the known meanwhile
tying our spirits in bonds
to live in a dream or to live the dream
to listen to soul stirring music or to search the soul for the music within.
to enjoy laughing at others or to enjoy the laughter of others ...
to watch or to touch a thing of beauty...
to forgive or to forget..
to think of the lost or to be lost in thoughts
to like or to love
to be awakened or to be blinded by love.
to love or to be loved...
to make sense of the above or to cherish it as just another instance of freewill..

the issue of faith
I would like to start my blog with an interesting anecdotal argument which cleverly
and concisely captures the essence of faith.
---
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God.. .
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theater becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold .. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
and concisely captures the essence of faith.
