Venezia Mio Amore!

It was some time in the night
I was walking alone,
high above in the clear sky
the moon shown like a
distant hope for a whine.

Temporal moments slipped by
and an exotic squall filled the
complacency of that placid night,
like slaying of a soul
with a blunt butcher's knife.

My insights drenched with the
deadness of the next instant
my senses went numb and
I shut my eyes and ran until
I hit a tree of an old time.

Slowly as I opened my eyes
and my sight became clear
I saw a donna clad in rags
scrunched tightly near me
humming a low tune of eternity

I touched her hair with my
shivering hands and bent a little
and observed her closely,
she lifted her head and glanced at me
with those deep blue watery eyes.

Suddenly, I felt pain running inside
and last I remember was her hands
closing my eyes and a whisper
which reverberated a myriad times
"I am ..Venezia
please come to me"
please come to me..

I felt my soul lifting
and I remembered nothing
as I went into an eternal rest
lying in the lap of Venezia
bidding adieu to this life.

again some lines

Living in Verona has been different from living in Chennai. It's not that I am in different country, climate, etc. rather it's everything. Right from the geographical location to the very insides of the people, all has changed. This has led me to love India more and more, and things start becoming heavy when I listen hindi songs particularly Swades.

But, I still remain the person I used to be with a addition of few more things, right now it is cooking which I am doing for the first time.

Staying here has taught me one more beautiful lesson, how to live alone and to take control of your life. I think I will write something over this aspect too.

These lines I wrote while in my lab in Verona. Again I do not feel like giving it a title.

My love was rarest as a birth
I loved her with all my woes
but time wanted some other play
and everything fell apart like
leaves in the autumn noon

It was in the middle of night
I met her again one more time
and could feel the pain
she bore in those eyes
on that star studded cold night

I wrapped her fast and held tight
what she bored was now mine
I asked myself half asleep
is this what it's meant to be,
have I touched that eternity?

Little I knew that seasons change
and it was last February that
nature caused it's flurry
it was the last night I saw her and
after this, there will be no more night


She came once in my dream
took me and kissed me right
as I looked in those beady eyes
I felt my pain melt away
like a distant church bell chimes.

Meanderings

Everyone should have a theory on life, even if it's ridiculous. I love learning about how other people view life.

This was my theory on life when I started college in 2003, quoted from my old website. I'm not sure if I still adhere to this theory, but it might give you some insight into the person I used to be. "Life is about the experiences you have - some might be good, some might be bad, but as long as you're feeling something, it's all worth it."

Going back farther, when I was about 6, I remember wondering, "What if the Earth is just God's booger?" Now that's deep.

These are the movies that have tickled my fancy recently:

Garden State
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Life as a House
Thirteen
Kissing Jessica Stein

If you also liked these movies, we just might get along.

more musings..

evreryday starts afresh with the chirping of the birds
and it sets with the hope for some, that it will come again
and tears for some, brooding over the loss of the day
but the day will pay off, for the blood they have given
sooner for some..
later for some..

I remember the days when they shed their lives
for their tears remained unanswered
had they stayed longer, they would have seen
the day paid off, the answers they seeked,
the life they wasted, the love they yearned for..
