genesis

be warned-here in my blog i would pretend like i am a nobel/booker/etc etc prize winner author and whatever i write should be read and re-read and re-read till you start feeling sleepy or dizzy or hungry.

lets talk - thats my motto. pretty good line for some phone company - i am sure it has already been used. as if that matters :-)

i am amazed how much value people attach to success - somehow it starts rubbing on your other lesser known attributes also. moneybags starts talking about life, economy, religion, government, philosophy and ironically success itself - and with what confidence!!!! I can bet my shirt on the fact that if the same people are given another shot at it, most can't make it again. like the author says in the book "black swans" - people conveniently ignore the luck factor altogether in success (or to be fair -in failures). Whosoever said nothing succeeds like success meant every word of it.

w.t.f. its already 2.24 in the morning and i am still awake. before i go, time for a sad poem:

when you have fought as many wars,
and your face has even half the scars,
come back, and we would discuss
what a beautiful world this is

when you are hungry and tired,
and haven't slept for nights,
come and we would talk at length,
about hope and dreams kept alive

living eternally in dark moonless nights,
when your eyes hate, every flicker,
of even the softest of lights,
lets talk, just then, about sunshine

and when you are cold and numb,
even then, i wont ask you much,
just the same question you've asked me,
why don't you feel my touch?

ta.
