I saw a girl who searched for moon & stars
Among the men who walked these parts
She looked like she was a little lost
As if she was not around from these lands

She always held something dear in her hands
And kept it close like it should never part
I went close enough to see what it was
And what I saw was half a heart!

The bards had sung an ancient tale
Of a Princess of the Jupiter’s moons
A tale in which Venus set a trap
And stole one half of the Princess’ heart

From ever since that fateful day
The Princess is wandering in planets afar
It is not moon or stars that she really want
Just the other side of her lonely heart!

A Dream Within a Rain

Out of all things I love, I have a special place for rains at night. And it is raining here now.

I had come to Manwara in last November. And I feel like I never want to leave this place ever again. Be whatever the time of the year, it rains here in Manwara. And night rains, Oh, they're the best!

Life here isn't what you could call lively. Almost everything about this place, the sun, the colours, the people, everything is subdued. They're all there for you, but not enough to overwhelm you. I do miss the night life of the city every now and then. But the rains do more than enough to keep me smiling alone in my bed at night.

Incidentally this rain reminds me of a place somewhere like Manwara. Somewhere I know that I've been to, but not too vividly. Perhaps it was the dream of those tragic lovers..

Nature's sense of justice is deeply flawed from the human perspective.

We are what we do not know about us.

-

There is meaning to our life but not to our existence.

-

What is good in me does not reside in what I chose to keep but what I'm ready to lose.

You can force the world to be at least fair
only if you are willing to be unreasonable.
The reasonable man is clearly a failing man.

It is so tough when you are dumb enough
to check with all possible variables and almost get to the solution, the world changes the damn equation.
