sesonal stroke

Not exactly unbearable but this summer is quite harsh and arid this time.Not only at work but even when I stay at home,sunrays appear as if piercing through the walls to bathe us with its heat leaving us to swelter in the bare season. The day seems to be extra blazing enough to cease the size of the blue balls and the heavy dusty wind adds to the spoilsport. And the evenings....are like the harbingers of summer .

The Metaphors..........

The metaphors in life sometimes seem to give pleasure and fun when we are wet with ennui and wish to frame personal fables that have characters who are real . My sun inside has turned pallid and the heart intersticed ,I don't  know how and with what to fill them up. On a day if time passes on the track without stumbling or without offering much lonelinness,the day appears to be perfect. We meet a number of people in our lives whose lives in some or the other hits our urchin sitting inside who gets erupted time to time but doesn't have the enough courage to continue the line of desire and merge it with the strip of reality.
Watching a dancer tapping her /his feet with all the aura of their hardships and efforts behind startles the dancer within who comes and practices  on the mercy of me whenever I would like to come out the way  I have been moving to the path laid by my dreams.That time I dance and dance and jauntily dance and live up like a true dancer.
Seeing an artist sketching his subjects with his free hand making them alive and allowing them to speak through his canvas,the artist inside comes along and waves his hands with a pencil or a brush to spread the colours he would put from the canvas to the soul.Those few hours I live like a true thinker and a hearty artist.
Reading the lines of soulful and commensurative poet or a writer who seem to have a simile forte' the instinctive prolixity comes to its life and the words swim along my paper sliding through my hands.It is truely a matter of fatalism because not everytime the writer is verbose with his original stuff,but when it is I live like a creator and a dreamer..........
What if I want to play roles of each one of them and many more to make my life knitted in my own way.An  apothegm says "don't sigh ,it chases out the good luck inside you". it seems to betrue if we sigh too much because the humph is the carrier of your loosing hopes in all the above characters and others. I  have kept them joyfully alive till now with a little discrepancy among each one of them and would wish to be that way always,the only thing that bothers me is that when everyone fights and bickers marking their donnism or otherwise they quit,what if this materialistic approach enters inside me????

tamatassssssssss

 they emerged as shiny-red cherry blossoms in my sundried kitchen garden which nowadays remains covered by the dry noisy leaves of the banyan..when they appeared ,they looked like one bringing the wetness of a raindrop on the bare earth fissured.Though there are other palnts too like chilli ,spinach etc but they haven't yielded yet so they also seemed to have  bathed in the sudden serendipity.Till they were green and tight they couldn't carve out their beauties and my backyard looked pallid and drooped inspite of my pamper and care.I too was under the fear that I couldn't make out time for them .But this arrival in the summer just coaxed me to make more of them and now I wish to fill my garden with all of them.ahhhhhhhh these were too fresh and young enough to contrast beautifully my green bowl.I wished not to use them but the tomato soup and curry really placated my belly very nicely........thanx to them........

आज एक नया सवाल है,

आँखों को

क्या सवेरा दीखेगा?

या फिर                                                                                  


सवालों के परतों के बीच से


निकलती

lost forests..........

It is evident since the advent/breakthrough of human civilization that man has always found his residence near or among the basic natural landmarks like rivers,mountains and forests. There are further evidences where ancient man has attached his emotional and religious intrests with the nature. In the lap of nature he has comforted himself by having food at ease,by hiding himself from the direct exposure of outer world,by adventuring the secrets of diversified greenery where is hidden the secrets of a healthy life and by protecting himself from the phenomenon like sunstrokes,rain and flood.Early man used to worship Gods in the form of trees which provided them all things needed for their survival for long times. The bigger and greener trees implied bigger and greater life of people relying on it. No doubt that trees and forests are the reasons behind man being so strong today that his strength has now become a curse on himself. Man being the most rational among all the creatures, in the blind race of advancement and modernization has forgotten the utter importance of a green cover that he has torn apart to build the castle of his comfort. For sure science and technology has shown a remarkable transformation of man from being a hunter to a sophisticated robot but this change has been made at the cost of the health and life of mankind. From the air we breathe to the news we read in the morning,from the medicines we take to extend our span of life to the electricity we boast of ,today each and every product that we have,each and every services we enjoy are the results of changed perspective of man where he chose luxury among comfort and health .Cutting of forests to build houses and industries ,shredding of trees to manufacture paper, medicines, cosmetics, detergents etc is not only crippling the biological balance but has also since last couple of years has raised a serious threat of global warming that would directly attack our existence.The problems of soil erosion,frequent earthquakes,landslides and floodings,heating up of the atmosphere,rise in diseases like skin cancer,bacterial attacks where elevated temperature is quite favourable for bacteria breeding and many more are not all of a sudden events but the results of our gradual mischieves and ill treatment with the nature.

Seeing the economic significance of forests and our unavoidable dependence on them deforestation is a quite concerning and critical issue that requires a serious attention . The livelihoods of 1.6 billion people depend on forests. 30% of the world's forests are primarily used for production of wood and non-wood products. Wood energy is the dominant source of energy for over two billion people. It is estimated that forest products contribute about 1% of world gross domestic product (GDP) through wood production and non-wood products. Even more important is fuel wood and fodder, especially in developing nations, where people depend on wood almost entirely for their household energy.

Forests not only provide a shelter to a diverse group of species and stand up as a saviour green cover on the earth but it also proves that disappearing forests is symbolizing the disappearance of habitat and biological entities soon or after. The most disappointing and aching issue is that despite knowing our reliability and dependence on forests and trees ,we are allowing them to go away.The earth is getting browner and concrete ,hounding with the different types of noises and is suffocating out of the human ventures and artificialities where there is no filter,no recycle,no replenishment and no second chance. When we cut a forest ,it is not only the trees that go but along with them,the biological cycle tears apart ,hopes of being bony,robust and happy also fades down.

Today also in the dark forests of Africa and others there are still some tribes that are living with,in and among the trees and forests and are still aloof from the so called civilized and modernized world. As compared to us,they may not be enjoying the tastiest cuisines of the world or they may not be having the latest fashionable wardrobe to cover their bodies or they may not be in contact with the people all around the world through internets and media but this is for sure that they are more healthier than us,they are stronger than us,they could listen to the sign and symbols of Mother Nature,they are happier than us and definitely they live for more number of years that we do.

There are some sensitized communities and groups all over the world that are continuously since last few years working real hard to conserve forests and spreading awareness among the people to realize its importance and need. WWF along with local communities and social icons is helping to carry on projects and fruitful works to make a difference and pass on the message of go green from generation to generation for marking the results as a sustainable development. Need is to join hands, gather the informations related to our current issues and bring back the forests back to the land. Though the original greenery is impossible to paint because of our continous ignorance and adamant styles,but through our regular endevours we can play a key role in managing the vital natural resources,in keeping soil healthy,air fresh and water clean .

my tree murals..

the tree of life,the tree of happiness,the tree of bond,the tree of my soul,the tree of  my laughs,the tree of my days,,,,whatever may it be called....

my lovely little gods.....

The love that our children pour upon the people they love the most is like ambrosia with which we can live forever throughout our lives with a smile on our face.The way they care ,the manner in which they express their feelings for us and the art of their pampering us make them the greatest artist and loveliest sight.It seems too easy for them to get happy and sad all at once ,it appears quite simple for them to make somebody everybody for them where they could forget everyone else.For that time being we feel to be at the top of the world when we are their everybody and we dance and sing and play and jump and lie down in our own world which turns out to  be entirely different and aloof and cheerful.When they laugh aloud and continue laughing till the breath goes off , we feel we have made god laugh.When they come to us and do things they don't usually do like a really happy and gleeful man,we feel like blessed. When in every occassion they choose to hold our fingers and sit and eat and sleep with us,it is like being the most special and the most important person.When among their tiny friends they introduce us with pride kissing our cheeks and hanging their hands around our neck,it is like getting the divine reward.When everyday  they wake up and ask for our name at first,we feel like having the greatest parts of our moments.But time of depart comes when they need to  revert back to their routine without us, ripping off the hearts .Both of us cry and sense the lonelinness that cannot be compromised,neither negotiated.It is like moving away from my little gods towards the grey colourless life where their chirping and jauntiness is missing. It is quite real when we say we can die for some people with whom we live the happiest life.................blessings to them.... my lovely little gods..
