The Orchestra

Performing solo requires courage and skill but as the soloist with accompanists or when more than one, it is more essential to hear, be honest, adjust and finally produce harmony which respecting and maintaining the distinction of each contributing other.

Awareness

Education destroys spontaneity, it creates parameters and guidelines and in someways removes the seriousness of fun.

Money

Interestingly is a guilt reliever.

Unwrap

Everyday can be your birthday if you open up gifts.

Circles

We run because we want to escape and escape because we run.

Reflection

When man does what he can, God does what he cannot.

To fly

One doesnt need wings, sometimes just wind.

The Universe

It's all been written. Or maybe sketch mapped!

Tring

There's the call and there's the missed call and one knows the difference.

Why we die

to finish homework
to finish school
to finish college
to finish work
to get married
to have kids
for the kids to grow up
for whatever else


all, only to live...
and only realise we havent, when we truly are dying.

:)

The darnest things keep one laughing and smiling long after its be said or seen or felt.

MJ says

The amazing thing is that we have the ability to make everyday the precious day that is the sabbath.And we do this by rededicating ourselves to the wonders of childhood.

The best way i can imagine to show my thanks is to make the very most of the gift that God gave me.

Late last night

Driving home, i saw a tired fisherwoman sitting by the bridge, waiting for a customer, at an hour when not too many drive by, let alone stop to enquire or purchase. I truly admire people who sell. It takes more than just talent.

Oxymoron??

Talk to shut up...

Tenacity

Somethings come easy, for everything else there is discipline.

Pizza by heart

What does an insomniac do but catch movies on TV? Even frequent power cuts wouldn't ditter from viewing the credits.

Wet wet wet

Thoughts in my head, not clear yet, seem like the rain on ink written pages before I can get then in order, the words merge into each other and flow way. They have something to do with the sounds of the rain like pitter patter or bhigi bhigi or goshgoshean. One can almost hear what each word is conveying just by virtue of being.

I watch the road ahead of me, and allow the rain drops to get the view from the windshield completely distorted until the wiper on slowest speed comes and clears it. The uncertainly of what could lay ahead as I drive sometimes almost like a bind mouse has a charm that I know comes with risks and that's probably what makes this little exercise even more enjoyable...

I didn't know

Four colours doesnt mean literally 4 colours.It means colourful!

Absolutely

Nothing is absolute but the relative.

Heard a song

Randomly stumbled on this song in a video today, called 'Listen with your heart' I think its by Casey Donovan, words are somthing like

when you cant find your way throu the night..
.. nothigns feeling right...
you dont know which road to choose
thats when you've got to
listen with your heart
listen to your soul
inside youll find the answer to the place you need to go
...
no matter where you are
just listen cos your heart will lead you home


Don't know if it's a new or old song... enjoyed it.

WOW is WWW

The expanse and the possibilities of the internet never fail to amaze me.
- the new google wave.. How do those people think like that?
- the amount of information availble on anything under and around the sun
- the ability to find people who one would have lost complete touch with otherwise.
- the sharing or ideas, the expression of personal views, the posting of ones creations
- the selling and buying
- the virtual avatars and mmogs
- etc etc unlimited!!!

Life without the internet... would be difficult.

Ask Questions

Trying to resolve a doubt in the space of one's own mind most often only results in a waste of time. Sometimes the answers are avaiable but one wouldn't know that unless the question is asked no matter how insignificant it may seem.

Sounds i Hear

The broom on the bathroom floor as it gets cleaned
A bus, in 1st gear, dragging on the road
chirp chirp of some bird
pitter patter by the window
Anothe bus zooming past
A scooter too
Coughing
The television
Vessels being kept into place in the kirchen
The mixer

I've heard that there is one moment everyday when all the universe is silent, Have not experienced it yet... but wish I someday am able to.

Bonding

There are many instances that encourage one to forge bonds with people, some that coem to my mind right now
- over cigarette breaks
- over chai
- while taking the same route.. travelling everyday or even long journeys
- goin through similar experiences
- being fans of some one or something
- being the odd ones out therefore...
- roomates
- partners in a task/ project
- or sharing a the desk and bench in school
- blogging :)

Go Go mosquito

The mosquitoes, give me sleepless nights
They enjoy themselves, with their unending bites
they sing their songs right in my ear
their hum breaking silence is all i hear
Certainly unwanted guests they are,
they need no invite, just a door or window left ajar
Slap myself, kill them i do
when will they leave i have no clue!!

The Rain

How i love the rain
As it splashes on the window pane
How i love the rain
as it washes he muddy lane

How i love the rain
As it turns the world green
How i love the rain
from under the umbrella, my screen.
