i want to be in a place where people dance in the rain
i want to be in a place where there is no beginning no end
i want to be with those who don’t mourn death or celebrate birth
i just want to be there and just let it pass
i don’t want rebellion where there can be faith
i don’t want glory where every evening the sun sets
i want be in a place so strong that i have the strength to love
and live on the my own pace
i want to move with the speed of light
yet be rippled when the winds caress
its the look in the eye that i want to see...
not symbols and signs and rusted poetry
i want to smell the flowers just cos its there
i want to climb the mountains , and roll down the valley
i don’t want to be wooed with petals ... it not for free

two of a kind
my heart often wonders where the mind is
and my head often wonders where the mind is
they both look for in different ways
in places unknown to the other
in corners not dusted in years
and suddenly
they find each other
at that one place - they both treasure
they found the mind
what a shame, only if they had spoken to each other
and my head often wonders where the mind is
they both look for in different ways
in places unknown to the other
in corners not dusted in years
and suddenly
they find each other
at that one place - they both treasure
they found the mind
what a shame, only if they had spoken to each other
In the Blue
It is time that daunts the world,
I am only a slave to it.
I can often walk but can’t run
There are no words forever...
That is why -
even if I write,
I may never sing to u;
even if I am there,
I may just be lost in the blue.
I am only a slave to it.
I can often walk but can’t run
There are no words forever...
That is why -
even if I write,
I may never sing to u;
even if I am there,
I may just be lost in the blue.

mysterious body, mysterious pills
Well, the mysteries of the body has worked wonders on our minds for a long long time but its the pills this time what had me thinking. Hard enough to fall sick all over again!
The most important thing one might expect from a medicine is its efficacy, and from a doctor, is to know if any given medicine falls under that category or not.But this 'market' is full of medicines which are nothing more than edible - and at times, not so edible substances. And YET, doctors prescribe it. Mostly because the doctor are not aware! If it sounds ridiculous, then let me stand by you in solidarity.
I am not sure of their (the doctor's) obsession to be demi-gods that make them prescribe medicines without even knowing about their use. Let's ask some not-so-intelligent questions, which might change our perspective - How many prescriptions 'really' have a proper diagnosis? Why do doctors have illegible handwriting? (I am sure that cannot be a prerequisite to enter med school)
Is it not unethical to pretend? To pretend that you know more than the person on the diagnostic table; pretend that it's under control, when you have no clue whatsoever of what it is! Is is not unethical to crush the trust of fellow humans? Is it not unethical to be dishonest to your own profession? Is it not unethical to NOT update yourself with all the latest findings and information related to your profession, specially when it deals with human life? Is it not unethical to be so ignorant about the latest medicines before prescribing it? At least know about the effects and (here is the scary part) the ill-effects medicines. Too much to ask for as a patient?
And the last question, is it not unethical and criminal to excuse 'lack of medical knowledge' of such doctors ??
Why don't we get a class in our schools on some basic bio-chemistry? Why are WE a mystery to OURSELVES? Do we deserve to depend on someone else as much ..

why in the world
they say questions are good. I say questions are good. Yet, we also agree that it can be quite exasperating an event.
For example, when someone is holding his heart on his hands only for you, it can be tragic if you ask, "But what is love?"
