A temporal paradox-

(Poetry on Time)
In the realm of time's great paradox,
Where past and present interlock,
I find myself in a quandary deep,
Yearning for some memories I still keep.

Oh, how I long for days of yore,
When laughter echoed, carefree galore,
But alas, they're all gone, never ever to return,
A lesson learned, a bitter sweet truth to discern.

No time machine can whisk me away,
To a bygone era, in disarray,
For the universe forbids such flight,
To alter history, a forbidden plight.

No Rip Van Winkle, I shall not sleep,
And wake to changes, the world's secrets keep,
Nor Kumbhakaran i am, slumbering in time's embrace,
Awakening in a past, lost in space.

But fear not, i say to myself, for in my heart,
I hold those vivid memories, a precious art,
The dolls, the frocks, those kindergarten friends & the simpler days,
Forever cherished, in my memory's haze.

Adventures I always seek, in realms & places unknown,
Where my imagination's seeds are sown,
But the past, alas, remains untrodden,
A location forbidden, forever sodden.

And so, I weave this poetic tale,
With wit and sarcasm that cannot fail,
In my best of Language, I shall impart,
Unknown facts, to provoke our heart.

But remember, dear readers, as I conclude,
Epochs paradox, a mystery shrouded,
The past, a priceless treasure we cannot reclaim,
Yet in our memories, forever it shall remain.

Street talk!

                                                                         Gray Life on the street  More people in our country lack of homes today.They live under the flyovers,under old broken bridges,inside plumbing pipeline, near railway stations, road dividers, pavements - they are everywhere.Every single day.We all pass them by uncaringly. Daily. Even me included. It is not easy  seeing  someone trying to survive on the  streets  of the city, and our reactions can range from pity, to anger, to choosing not to  see  the person at all. ... what it's like to have no home. Homelessness is about more than just poverty.And on bone chilling winters s ome arere visibly distressed and freezing, barely able to feel their hands. It was an early flight and i was on the way back home with my brother after leaving my younger sister to Delhi International Airport who had come for a short visit to India.Our car stopped at the red light sign

A nostalgic trip to memory lane.

Just some time ago i got in  touch with many of my old school pals through social networking site Facebook.Thanks to Technology which has brought us all closer.Connecting with long-lost friends is like checking out those class  group photo session.Whether its Facebook , Twitter or any medium of social networking,it helped me to connect with good old high school,my teachers,principal and college friends who I had not  seen or heard from in decades.Its been a topsy turvy life for me all along.But suddenly i was  filled with life meeting them though virtually.Which later on became possible in practical too.Felt those butterflies fluttering in my stomach in excitement of hearing them.Really the moment is so nostalgic & lovely to be able to know & see how gracefully we have all aged and how  wonderful they all are doing!I found myself in the muddle of my long lost friends.It was as if some  sort of telepathic connection that me and some of my old school friends were searching for

Fishing for a forbidden fruit called humanism.

In future we can see kids fishing for humanism. Last week ,on a Tuesday night as usual I sat down to check my mails, about what sort of links people are posting and the news of the day on in social networking sites as Twitter,Facebook ,Word-press & Blogger like where peoples heads are at, what the latest fuzz to follow and figure out.So we all know that word of mouth is the strongest form of marketing, whether or not you can call it marketing or just the way we interact with one another, and we see evidence of this all the time.Okay,well it’s kind of freaky and interesting sometimes.Whatever,I saw a lot of people & even Dalai Lama fussing & tweeting around about Human Values.For so hundred's of years now, Science, Technology, & Human Values has provided the forum for cutting-edge research and debate in this dynamic and important field.We owe much to the thinkers of ancient traditions, the scientific and social reformers from the Renaissance forward, and those of
