An Ode to the Phoenix..

O supreme angel of love, thou hast

Conquered all hearts. So immensely ostentatious is

Thy beauty, so fetching is thy love

That thou reigns the pinnacle of all

Creations. Thou art the mirage in the

Sandy plains. Thou art the sun setting

In the yonder point. Nor Nymph nor Nereid

Fairy or Angel dost take thy place.

.

Thou lovest the fiery ball so much.

Thou reach out to him for love.

His fiery flames blazes thy mortal shape

Thou drown to the earth to fall

Asleep yet to start everything ab initio

Thoust one in all, all in one.

a vote for democracy..

“democracy without education is hypocrisy without illusion” – Issac Mirza.. read it in an inspirin writin in cls 8.. 2de wen kolkata votes I was reminiscent of my skul days wen d inane me kept on brandishing the abuses of democracy attributing the incompleteness of our nation’s progress 2 its indecisive way of administration.. but as de say, maturity brings abt a chnge in d thot process, I have suddenly taken 2 exhibitin pride in displayin d significant black dot at the corner of my index finger.. no matter wat, I reside in a democracy..

ya, I do.. n m blessed 2 b so.. no matter how frail it myt b, its realistic.. no mattr how frequently d polls are rigged, a billion does turn out 2 exercise a nationalistic right.. no mattr how dismal our politicians perform, v still root for them.. no mattr how high our wrath soar, v dnt really wana let go of an opportunity 2 b a part of d worlds’ biggest electoral process.. tats why democracy runs in the Indian blood..

v keep stumbling in our progress tym n agn n hav hardly bulged forward in dese 60 yrs of independence yet v r bettr off bein called a democratic n a republic wd a equal say 4 every1.. “koi v desh perfect nahi hota, use perfect banana parta hai” – Madhavan from Rang De Basanti.. I believe you.. n v really need 2 participate, fight for n rally behind the discerning figures pledging 2 take the country forward.. so, notwithstanding dis scorching heat, the serpentine lines in d booths, the long walk 2 to the polling statns, I have voted.. n I vl kp doin so subsequently.. for this is a very small errand tat I can do 4 the sake of the nation 2 show that .. I care.. 2de my vote goes 4 democracy..

back 2 business...

Interest in bloggin has suddenly taken a beating.. dnt actly knw why.. maybe the waning vocabulary.. maybe the excessive tym given 2 orkuttin n other pastimes.. maybe the lack of reading them.. maybe the lack of visitors.. a thousand probabilities, but none more fittin than plain indolence.. durin my visit 2 Tarapith ystrday i was debarred 4m the 3 most priceless accessories - the TV, the PC n the FM.. so had 2 indulge myself readin blogs in my cell.. n unbelievably, i had a jolly good tym.. bloggin all of a sudden seemed envious.. i had so much 2 write, so much 2 share, so much 2 spk of, so much 2 relate 2.. n m found groping 4 blogs, more n more of dem, until i kept cravin 4 dem back in d comforts of my orkut enabled PC.. lukd quite n effective drug! eh!.. so, i guess m back.. finally.. n dis tym wd renewed vigour n rekindled passion..

A blog tat i hav bn enthusiastically followin these days is tat of the fake ipl palyer.. he has bn a realistic outlet of all the closed-door atrocities prevalent in the Knightriders team.. he isnt doin a very good job - lettin out team secrets, i accept.. yet the team wdnt hav performed any bettr wdout him n his blogs, wd all d demoralising infightin, bloated egoes n unchcked anarchy tats pokin its face every now n then since the day the unimaginative owner in his filmi andaaz put absolute faith in his "Bhookha" hero who turned out 2 b more inefficient than a supporting junior artiste.. so, we find our very dear KKR drowned in oblivion, the diehards ventin their ire on der 1nc very promising star-owner.. personally i feel every step in the administration 4m players auction 2 d onfield strategy 2 "super over" players selection is direly flawed.. a whole list can b prepared whr the foreign adminstrtn went wrong.. well.. theirs hardly nethn tat cn b righted now.. officially, we r out of dis yr's cmptitn, unofficially we rnt evn a trace as competitive as our nearest neighbour on d points table.. truth, d very truth.. accept it.. n dis vl kp happenin agn n agn as long as v kp ditchin experienced cricketin mind replacing it wd "phoren babas".. quite obvious..
