Moonbeam

I don't feel the compulsion to write too, but I experienced a surge of emotions, yet unlived. 


Of being revealed of my poverty, yet of my plentitude!


The misplaced ego gets amply quelled when a brighter, more powerful and compelling luminosity shines upon it. 
It is left bare, pared of its sheen, in utter submission.
The glow is mesmerising to a point of rapture.
The realisation that you are yet discovering it explodes the possibilities of it, that be. 
That it chooses to be just as attracted by you is befuddling. 
You are just glad that it was you. 


That you found such a place to be where the moon struck,
Where the beam illuminated your being, of which yet unaware
Where moments; countable, satiate
When having felt the glow, you have found that you have come to life

Disbelief

I can’t believe its me who is thinking what I am thinking - I am unhappy for another person’s achievement! Me?! I don’t do that!! No! It is not really the achievement. That is no matter.

That filling up of forms and writing SOPs and putting your best foot forward all the while hearing your supporters cheering your victory in your head.  That tingling anxiety in the stomach while waiting for the application to be processed and making it sound like no big deal to all sundry who ask about it. That final moment of reckoning when the heart sinks into the stomach, the forehead is smeared with perspiration and the heart beats terrifyingly fast while you key in your roll number. You want that god damn result, alright. But. But, you need some time to go to it. However, that would be no more than the time it would take to key in those 8 digits. With ...

What is it about Dhoni?

I can't stop raving about Dhoni in the new Pepsi ad. With the handle bar moustache and buzz cut, as he gyrates to 'gatak gatak' (and looks Oh, so deadly handsome!), Raina, Harbhajan, and whoever else is there, become non entities. It is the ultimate 'yennada, rascala?' Chennai's Super King look and the eyes are only for D! What were the others doing in the ad? It probably has to do with Pepsi's Men in Blue campaign. But this ain't the only one in which Dhoni has more than just him in the ad and where without him the frame is incomplete. It is not without reason. It is the Dhoni persona. He is part of the crowd, just as much as he is a legion by himself. "If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, If you can walk with Kings and not lose the common touch..."-Kipling I pause to think. When did he become so statuesquely? When did he emerge to outshine  greats like Sachin without ever trampling upon their space? Since when did he begin to...
