I breathe in
as you breathe out
in our contradictions
you and I
are one

I was at the Singapore creative design summit. Thanks for making the room a bigger spaces.
I have mead Nelson Mandela ones in my life, and if some should make a film about him, it should be one that shows him as a person.
I would like to asked you some questions in truing to broaden my and others mind.
How do you connect to a collective cosiness’? How do you think you make people lead go of their ego?
What dos beauty means to you?
tribute to Mr. Menon
you are gone now
but i believe you are ever present
still.
i can’t see your magical smile
or hear your mischievous laughter
nor smell the fragrance of your touch.
how can such a man have walked the earth?
surgeon, father, lover, tutor
and friend.
so much given
and nothing asked for in return.
kerala and united kingdom
united in grief at your loss
where are you now?
where can we hear your song?
how can we smile without your jokes
at our side?
we are torn inside
kicked hard
slammed
by the deafening silence
of your absence.
numbed by our grief.
all i can do is surrender
but to what..i do not know.
the world’s affairs and enchantments
hold no interest for me now
without your comments upon them
to cheer me up when down.
they say prayers are like thought echoes –
say it from the bottom of your heart
and you will get
your reply.
so i try…
I am not far away in the clouds.
Nor will you find me in some far off dream land.
I am more nearer now to you
then I ever could be in my life-time.
Always I wanted was your happiness,
so that I might be happy.
Always I wanted was your health
so that you might help others to enjoy
their health.
but there was a limitation to what i could do
..in body.
but now
where i am
which is where you are
i have no limitations.
I see what you see
– but in brighter colours
I hear what you hear
– but in subtler sounds.
I am the last laugh behind every joke
I am the deepest sigh when your sorrow is
most acute
and i am the comfort
that comes with accepting that my physical ending
is our spiritual beginning.
does the butterfly miss being a caterpillar?
or the small child wish to return to her
mother’s womb?
i am flying in the freedom from all thought
i am dancing in the rhythm of all dances
i am singing in the melody behind all songs.
Perhaps when life’s sorrow becomes too much
you would rather prefer not to
experience suffering any more.
but i have a secret to share with you..
you too can hear,
what i hear
if you listen to the birds gossiping
in the early morning
or look at the rainbow
tapestry on the morning dew.
we can grow together now.
i will never leave your heart
i will nurture you from within.
when you need my touch,
touch others.
when you need to hear my laughter,
make others laugh.
when you need my guidance
look within and I will find you.
I shall share your laughter in your happiest
moments and carry you
in your darkest hours.
I will be there when your ache for me
is like a roasting fire
when you reach acrosss the bed to hold me
i will be the air that caresses your skin.
how?
i am the one who aches
and i am the one who caresses.
i am the one who cries for comfort
and i am the comfort given.
you too can feel what i feel
when you open your heart to all
the pain and suffering
that life’s uncertainties
throw at you.
when you let go of all expectations
and calculations.
when you free your mind
as i have mine,
and go beyond –
in the acceptance of what is,
is the arrival
at the doorway to where i am.
open the door
with the key of love to all
that you experience
and you will find me
laughing
joking
singing
at the wonder of it all.
i will hold your hand
take you over the threshold
where we can gaze together
at the majesty of creation
which i see now
is but a part of me
and you.
i am more alive now
than ever before.
Dil ke haal se aajkal, khush bhi mai pareshaan bhi..
if we didn’t face contradictions, would we reason?
This writing is like a tiny BOMB.small in size..but shattering!!!
Beautiful!
In our contradctions we are one..
But isnt it time to update though there is still plenty of material for me to read and I m taking one at a time.. So what films you are busy making??..As from newspapers I have gathered about Mandela and esp. intriguing Paani (which is a suject of huge relevance in modern times).. I have been a huge fan of Mandela, seen some films on him & read his Long Walk to Freedom which was awesome! Musta say world has hope with leaders like him still around.
Well sir keep making realistic cinema ! We need such entertainment!
cheers

Dear Sir,
This reminds me of a song Collide by Howie Day…..in which he says: Da dawn is breakin, a lite shinin thru….Ur barely wakin and am tangled up in you…..i’m open ur closed, i follow ur ghost…outta da doubt tht fills ma mind….i sumhow find, tht u and I collide……
Its a beautiful idea, contradictions meetin in unison to create da homogenity of an assosication between individuals…
Besides, contradictions keep things interestin, methinks….
smile,
….ekta.
