On one hand this is the field for many a groundbreaking experiments on the self.
And on the other, the very thought seems to push one down a place, where distant music and memories of yesterday's feel are all the light one finds.
I'm not sure which way this one is headed.
We shall of course find out with time.
Till then, chew on this...

Har mulaaqat ka anjaam, judaai kyun hai?
Is tabeeyat, par har waqt, parchhayi kyun hai?
Agar na ho manzoor, toh na karo adaalat,
Magar dil ko bata jao, ye zaroorat kyun hai..
Through the darkness of the hollowing sides,
One sees many a fleeting glimpses,
Of a tomorrow untold, ready to unfurl,
Yet a thousand desires escape one's weary clutches,
As the darkened sky bemoans a day gone past,
Gone past, without a breath of life in the air,
Without that which lends all there is, to everything else.
Eternities pass one by, with little more than a sigh.
Immense highs punctuate one's lowly paths,
Yet unable to lift a gaining load,
What is one to do when the self plays to elude,
My dear, how far I am from you!
Is raat mein daraar aane na do,
Kal ki seher, par aanch aane na do,
Magar is hakeeqat se waakif kara dalo tum,
Aage ab aur, rulaane na do.
"The farther one travels
The less one knows"
"With our love,
With our love,
We could save the world,
If they only knew..."

Cheers to South Park!
Q. - While people will always act within the bounds of human nature -- good people being good and bad people being bad, it takes religion to make good people bad.
A. - "Well, many religions also give people good reasons NOT to do bad things. And while people may do terrible things in the name of religion or via religion, they may have well still done them without the religion there -- it's just a justification provided for a choice already made."
-- Matt Stone & Trey Parker
(From South Park FAQ's)
Bet you didn't expect THIS from the ones who made Cartman and the gang! :)

It is amazing how words can say so much and yet be mute spectators to happenings around them...Dunno why but the ending to your post reminded me of the immensely popular (n one of my favorite!) Nickelback tracks.."If Everyone Cared"
To quote:
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died, When nobody died...
Very appropriately, the digital sales of this song were donated to charities in Canada! :-)
Please please please never stop blogging!! :-)
:)
thanku very much...
very flattered i am..
the last 2 quotes in that post, as respectively from 'the inner light' and 'within you without you', both by the beatles, and more specifically, written by harrison..
yes, words, their origins, their subsequent thirst for intangibles and infinites, their very conception and congregation to create magic, never, never ceases to amaze...
sigh..
