When I was a Child

When I was a Child

"When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things."

As I put down my head to pen this prose..
there came a thought as lame as it goes.
I have to captivate my audience at once!
I can't get away with a pedestrian performance!
Gone are the days of pristine joy ,
that came with doing things I enjoy .

How can happiness be a result of an endeavor?
It wasn't long when it was aimless and pure,
when I painted the sun setting by the shore.
Why would this now not suffice me whole?
Coz now I seek to gratify my thinking soul.
Even as I write I'm trying to rhyme every bloody word!

When your talents lose out on your new found call.
its then you realize that it isn't worth after all.
Damn with this literary verbose shit!
Damn with this mediocre effort,
maybe the title isn't apt .
Oh My!! I still don't get the point .
Wish I get few of those childish things back.

So you write a Poem .

So you write a Poem .

There was this thought which I often thought ,
had there been a me shaped hole in this celestial ball..
would it affect the picture overall ?

So i thought about this thought ,
that often great men say ..and you often might sought .
"That all things fullfill their purpose before they fall".
You trudge the lone path to find your call
But all the things so often end in vain ...
and oh dear ! how real and continual is the pain !

Then i thought , to see it in a different way
Me a product of Gods Factory!,..just made like that to do nothing.
Me ..just here to spend my time before heavens angels come calling.
The pain just subsided .. probably there won't be no me shaped hole after all .

Could have been a cold winter's night


















Could have been a cold winters night ...
It was one of those days when we thought..
"I should have stayed at home .."
while i toiled along to reach "Half Peak"
Was lonely and cold .. when i saw a light
Is usual to hallucinate was what i thought
..but was worth to give it a shot

Blury eyed ..I followed the light ..
which seemed to shine on me .
Seem to remind me of something
that was lost and found .. and again lost.
Probably it was never mine ..

No sooner the light was for real
a kindle by the glaciers mouth ..
with a battered tea kettle ,saw a figurine
all wrapped up and cosy .
"By tomorrow Half peak would be mine" he said
"Why don't you sit down and have a sip .." he continued
"Its usual ..." I could feel blood running down my limbs
and brain ..It became warm and cosy

Thought about the light that saved me
Which drew me towards warmth and light
thought about the warmth of the stranger,
else.. could have been a cold winters night

Horny collection-Ramification of mimi


Horny Collection
Ramification of Mimi -
We come across so many obstacles in our daily life , some big some small some insignificantly small we go about getting the better of them , having a stategy or just by will power . The horns describe them ,some are small ,some big ,some broken . But there are some instances when you come across the "Ram" . You are intimidated by its form and power . It gets into your thoughts and action ,crippling you to inaction . Your best is not good enough you stay in awe of the challenge thrown upto you . This painting tries to capture that moment when you are up against the "Ram" . You surrender to the Ram ... (Mimi is just a name .. she got Ramified !).
