http://andipatti.rediffiland.com/Diary of raj aandipattien-usDefeat is colourless......all alone......you.............................
lick your wounds.......thinking, what might have been......
Your dreams......lying shattered......in myriad pieces........
What has gone wrong.......?...............................................
Agonising........you are all alone..........................................
World is a very lonely place, for the defeated................
The rejection.....more painful.....than the defeat.................
The World.....It loves a winner............................................
Damned be the loser............................................................
King Bruce......? we don't have time......Move aside,friend,
We don't have time for old fables.......................................
Show success, money, power we will love you.................
Worts and all...............What worts....you don't have any...
The defeated.....he picks himself....piece by painful piece,
Stands up.....to be counted...................................................
Only....there is no one count................................................
They are all busy........currying favour....with the winner....!

Death....inevitable,,,,,flame.....irresistable...................
Comsummation....a fiery death....self-immolation..?..
Where is survival of the fittest...?........................
Self preservation.....the prime,,cardinal rule...........
Given a go-by........the moth,, a dumb little creature,
Knows no better..................................................
Smug in this knowledge.....feeling superior.............
Man....self congratulatory.....forgets.......................
The flames of lust...avarice....jealousy...vengeance...
Consuming him every day...................................
In the eyes of the Maker,,,aeons pass....in a........
twinkling.............................................................
For Him.....we, the moths , self immolate...............
Irresistable flames......reducing us to ashes.............
Don't only feel sorry for the moths....!...........

The mood moves from.....one extreme to another.................
Laughing,,,,crying......knowing not what for................................
Or rather....what we ordinary mortals know not.......................
What for.......................................................................................
The world,, wonders..........what happened................................
A spectacle to behold,,,,,,,To be bewildered............................
Knowing nothing........A music,, A tune only he hears.........
The one we call a genius......or a mad man.................?.......
Knowing nothing,, he swings.....from mood to mood..............
Rather not bothering to know....Indifferent to the world.........
His reality....totally different from ours.......................................
Does he see a frenzy of colours we dont see......................
Does he hear a bouquet of tunes we dont hear.....................
Does he feel a dance of words we dont feel......................
Is he not mad....not to see,feel...hear only what we do......?..
Which is reality?......His or Ours......................?...........

The anonymity of the net .....a release for pent up....

They meet.....on the net.......find comraderie, companion..
Love blossoms.......An empty life, suddenly acquiring.......

The world.......not wise not to know..................................
The knowledge secret.................sweet.................................
So what if he is 65 and she sweet 56.........................!

]]>Sun, 03 Jun 2007 20:33:21 +0530http://andipatti.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/06/03/MIGRATION.htmlSocialism has arrived in India. The votaries of socialism
like the ilks of yadavs, Mulayam and sharad and laloo,not
to forget the GOP and the assorted Lohiaites and the
comrades can rejoice...............
The low cost carriers have made flying available
to the common man. Kudos to them. And the man on the
street is flying and how !
The unmistakeable sign is the toilets....................
you have seen the graffiti that adorn the toilets in the trains. Lewd
and obscene.
Recently I was in chennai airport and on visiting
the toilet I found the same graffiti and language we find
in the train toilets.........................
That means that the Aam Aadmi is flying and
socialism has arrived with a bang.
Long live socialism and we are truly becoming
an egalitarian society.
Amen to that.

There is she.......the Accuser.....her eyes...............................
Angry...........with a hint of tears.......a remembrance................
Of all opportunities lost, all that warmth,................................
A cold comfort..........................................................................
Where all the love has gone.............?..................................
Who is to blame.....she or me.....or the struggle...................
Called Life.......?........................................................................
Leaving no energy to live a Life.............................................
There we stand.....the Accuser........the Accused....................
Both victims................gaping at Life.
