The road to the longest war starts with a single handshake

Diplomacy , the handshaking , the bowing , the respect
the so on rhetoric. Ritualistic meet , ceremonial pledges
Can the citizen be be fooled?
Your enemy`s enemy is your closest friend, your friends are never the same though.
Such relativity of relations
Can the citizen understand?

A historical continuity , economic inter-dependency
linguistic foundations along with cultural semantics
converging on issues of the so called "global security"
The world too integrated to collapse. They Say.

Integrated by what? - self interest, the mutual motive of making money, filling each others pockets- at the same time digging each others pants with gun powder , waiting upon a moment to strike a light.

Nations together , nations at war , communities in bind, communities in flares
global war , communal war, civil war , arms war , natures war , people at war!
Is the Citizen at war?

A Tale of Two Countries

A similar look , brothers and sisters borne out of the same tale , but yet a story told differently. whose more patriotic cant say , whose more nationalist, no one can tell , but a handful hurt exist across.
Yet they are both , still not together.

Once a middle kingdom ,shadowed by the heavenly light  wherein in case of anarchy a rebellion was also justified. The suns land at past, just a tribute away? A harmonious world existed therein.

Now disputed islets in between , history told differently.
Blame of atrocities pointing fingers on each, the second time the world was not at peace.

Heroes of one , war criminals of the other , worshiped at once guided by faith now just a shrines residents, kept alive for political vote banks to bathe.

Shelling over a no mans land , military fall outs, air strikes and naval exercises
The gods wont be pleased with the visits to Yasukini shrines, neither the masses with a proposed national holiday of 3rd Sept.
Coming of an avalanche it seems when the head of the states meet, a third party summit or country's state visit.  Reinstating the defense posture, are you secured fellow citizen?

Stuck in the vicious circle, harbingers to the legacy. Still are a look for most outsiders - Brother and sisters.

Eid Mubarak

Starry night , darker skies
Moon cornered tombs for the blessed souls
A magic lamp or an enchanted carpet

The secrets behind the kohler gaze
traditions continued with an abbayan drape

Mystic and Soulful
Wondrous dream like
A decorated Window
peeping out to the moon

Instead is a cursed weapon
of murderous killing ,
A zealous hunger for power and control
a fearful , anxious , tearful gaze.

Suicide bombings, disruptions,
Firing only in return
equaled firing to return
no end to siege!

A black Magic shivering
Unpleasant Reality!
Pray for the innocent ones,
the sacrificed souls over the bequest of rage.

May the blood washed arab skies be
rinsed by the moonlit nights on Eid.

AM I AUTHORIZED?

Am I authorized?
Till the time i was not born with it
a birthright, an inheritance
Even If I was
an abusive father or an alcoholic mother
Am I authorized?

Am I authorized?
till the time its not legit- a legal sign,
a printed paper, a notarized signature
Even if I was
Just a piece of land , shade under a tree, to put my feet in the river
Am I authorized?

Am I authorized?
till the time its not a defined tag, a claimed status
a far away friend, a distant lover
Even if I was
Someone else's best friend, or an already married man
Am I authorized?

Am I authorized?
To call it mine.

Goin up or going down…

Weird title.. eh? … well ull get to know it y its so…

Well first of all a big apology to my only follower my sister for writing after such a long time… will try to do it more often… and hopefully will apologize to a large number of followers the next time.

The excitement of a new car in the family is big… on top of that excitement of the first car ever in the family is huge!! So by much persuasion for over two months by my elder sister, a little SPARKY joined our family last November. The rush to go vroom vroom was inside everyone… specialy in my mum. Well I must say elder people ARE more about “lets do it” these days while the young ones want to lie in bed. She was the first to start with the driving lessons as well. But we ridiculous children of hers didn’t go with her to practice and all thirty driving lessons have gone to waste… even then my brave mother will always say on the phone “ should I come to pick you up from the metro station” :) dats my MOMMIEE!!

Apart from my mom…. My sister was the most excited. She wanted to be the daughter of a proud mother.. who takes her everywhere ..to her colleagues son’s marriage, to grocery shopping, to meet her sister etc. but there was a condition … the route to wherever you want go shouldn’t involve going up a flyover.

Strange condition huh? Let me break it up for you…
You see for a new driver balancing between the break and the accelerator is quite a task. When there’s a flyover and there is a traffic jam your car is at rest. But because of the slope the car tends to go backwards so u push the break. Now when you have to move you move your foot from the break and put it on accelerator …. Whoops but the car has already started moving backwards… and the person behind you is honking bad!!! “CRISIS CRISIS”

So in order to avoid such a situation …
What do you do?
Simple avoid flyover! ;)

Ok so before my sister kills me for writing all this I jus want to say one more thing

Since they say younger sisters generally copy the elder ones…
I have decided to carry forward my elder sister’s strategic legacy of driving. ;)
So to all the new drivers on the road …. Heres a bite for all of you!

They

People expect
when they believe in you.
They respond
when they know themselves to be true.

They pretend
when they find you fake.
They defend
when they know themselves to be a mistake.

They like
when they want you to be around them.
They love
when they need themselves to be around you.

They betray
when they know themselves to be not worth you.
They repent
when they realize that they are not worth anything without you.

And then they meet
when everything that was there was still here

They let it pass
when they see that you have hold on
And then they think
that you have moved on.

A secret

whats a secret??
some say "its one thing u want to tell no one about"
others define it as "something that is known only by 2 people"
some make it up to maximum 3 people. there are still others who say "something dat one writes in his or her diary and shuts it there and then." there are a few others in the crowd who label a secret as something to be very personal and which never has to be mentioned in front of many people.
but what caught my attention were two statements. well the first one was just amusing but the second one soared me up.
1. a secret is something which is usually LIE... that is not supposed to be known by any one.( ok that's funny ;))
2. A secret is "something that is told to one person at a time"

well , if we think about it, we find that it actually fits perfectly well. we usually end up telling everyone everything and tell them to not to mention it to any one. it is kinda ironical isn't it?
In the statement lies the practical meaning of the word. :)

right or wrong

why is always there a right thing and a wrong thing?
And why do we always have an option , even when we know that one of them is wrong . and why are we presented with the wrong option....that one knows that shouldn't be done.
At one point when people don't agree to a certain subject , they would say its my opinion and then its the end of topic. So if they see everything as an opinion why they have to label it as wrong or right.
I mean there are no set of rules by which one has to abide by (though i think life would have been much simpler with that).So why there is always a judgment that follows after anything one does. Why do people have to be critical of others. moreover why do one has to be critical of one own self.
