Angel of thought

This is for that imaginary someone who'd always be around...

I saw her in my dreams,
Just wanted to hold her tight,
The radiance flowed,
Her eyes glowed,
It was a beautiful enchanting light,

"Take me with you" ,
was all i wanted to say,
I have been alone,
I have been lonely,
Show me all there is,this beautiful May,
Silent were all words,
Silent were the eyes,
Only her light,outshining the grey,

I have dreamt of you a hundred times,
I have lived with you all this while,
I have walked with you a thousand miles,
Do u still remember the songs?....now none of it rhymes,

Dreams are all I have left of you,
None of the words I say,come out true,
May be my essence is whats lost,
Lost in your thoughts,
Lost in your dreams,
Locked in my heart,as cold as frost,

But I shall dream each day,
I shall walk all those miles again,
I shall sing those songs too,
That's the time when my world's not grey,

Someday you may be back,
And see...am dreaming again,
I want want you in my dreams,
I want to hold you tight,
You'd be with me always,
You'd be that enchanting light.....

Elizabethtown

Today happens to be the day that i have taken my second exam out of the total four before they tag me as an engineer...and no am not a geek and this blog is dedicated to this wonderful movie i saw two days back.

"Elizabethtown".. It was so wonderful that it makes me want to write about it but i will try and keep it short and simple this time.

Starring Orlando bloom and Kirsten dunst the movie revolves around Orlando who has lost interest in life and wants to suicide until this beautiful girl comes along and changes the way he thinks.

He had failed miserably at the shoe company and almost succumbs to the pressure of failure when all she says is " So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling."

Each time she spoke "failed"..it just seemed that it was nothing...n that's life in its rawest of forms. One thing more that you start wishing for is, a person like this in your own life as well...that someone special who would just come from nowhere and change your altogether in a wonderful sense..and then stick around.

I'd love to mention another line she (Kirsten dunst) Claire says: "Sadness is easier because its surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free." I wish i could think that way, truly majestic. For all those who read this please watch the movie. I dont promise of it being out of this world but can surely change the way one takes life..every second of it. The crux of it is love.

Sounds more of a fairy tale...but tales do come true. Atleast in my case i wish it would ..lol

The other side of life

" Those eyes showed no signs of hope. It was as if their very soul had left the body."
These lines are the symbolic of a world which provides its people with only despair and eventually death. A result they already know but can do nothing about. Its the world of heroin, and a major part of it is coming from Afghanistan.

I was in strong opposition to the U.S bombings of Afghanistan,the reasons are obvious, but now somewhere deep inside i feel that the bombings were right to some extent at least it would have destroyed a lot of poppy fields. Poppy is the source from which heroin is made and the process is quite cheap n simple. Astonishingly, Taliban, despite of all its evils had banned growing poppy because its against Islam and after the attack by the U.S. this trade is flourishing.

One cannot categorically say whats bad, the Taliban rule or the poppy growing. I guess the world was and is destined to experience such dilemmas. One killed people by bombing, the other is killing them intravenously.

There was a series on National Geographic channel yesterday named "Inside Afghanistan" that revealed this "other side of life". A whole generation of people seem to be addicted to the drug and worse attacked are the countries with liberal laws on drug use like Norway. The guy being interviewed said,"Once you start snorting,it will eventually lead to intravenous use". 

"It causes pain in my muscles and joints and makes me feel light". Its sad and very little is being done about it. Even writing this blog is taking toll on me coz there's so much i want to express but the words just don't seem to put it across well enough. Only if someone can see those faces, only if one is sensitive enough to realise that pain, can one get the idea of what i really want to express.

Guys and girls of just about 20's n 30's were literally lying on the streets, some under the influence of heroin and some who just did not have the strength in mind and body to get up and take another shot. This is the scene in Norway, but that is not of importance because its spreading all over. Slowly but surely.

The farmer in Afghanistan says he has no choice except growing poppy because nothing else will give them the money to feed his family. A very strange kind of symbiotic process isn't it? Rather not symbiotic but very one sided, you feed your family and in turn destroy several others. Almond packets, Carpets and a lot of different things that are exported are a source to smuggle this drug out of the place and when it reaches its destination, its worth millions.

I would not write about asking people to contribute to the cause. Lets be honest, no one except the sufferer, is bothered. I too am washing my hands off by just scribbling these words since i know there is very little or nothing that i can do. Though the story was haunting and forced me to express my thoughts but that's the farthest it will lead me.

Lingering sense of uneasiness...and i am off to sleep. Hope i can write something really worth, the next time.
