Legend




Man says that legend is in himself
Man says that legend is HIM
But what does legend say ?
Was it really the man himself or was it something different?

Things in life don't turn out well
One blames ones destiny
Fate laughs
But one cries
Justice you might not like to call it.

Having grudges against someone you love is permitted
May not be in the society which wraps you every night
But yes in your heart
That beats tirelessly everyday for you
For you who lives on
and creates a LEGEND for himself

I wonder how they live
They
Whose hearts stop beating for them every night
And beat for the ones opposite to them
Inside them
How can you think that they belong to you
Mind-Body games
Lust
I salute them
But is it really the destiny they follow
It can be a matter of choice
Or in most may be
Force
Force of the legend behind them
Who have told them this is what you are
What you can
And What you will

Let me laugh
Who is going to watch me ?
Utter disgustingly
Shame
Fear
Forget them
Because legend says to do so
And you will do so
May be in the end

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat

Commotion

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009

In Security

Where do insecurities stem from? How are they formed? Why do they keep bothering us? To put it nicely, I have met and dated a lot of men, and to put it professionally, I am an accomplished psychologist; pun excluded ; everybody has their own insecurities. Some in the form of past experiences, emotions they could not handle, a "Dil ka Dhoka" alias treachery or loosing trust to the extent of imagining or having what mainstream psychology calls pessimistic thoughts, i.e. they just cannot think anything else apart from "what might go wrong". Quite often, the circumstances of our present, our existence becomes "too" real for us. As natural as instinct, constant comparison to past memories and self idealized standards kills the thrill of here and now. What happens with constant emotional insecurity ? "It's insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams."   -  Vin Diesel
