AFTER THE PARTY...

All t time that my exams were going on, my brain was working in an overdrive. And to add more curry, life gave me enough reasons for it too. Sometimes it simply felt abt to blow off. Many times I told this though or that one to sit quite a while: " I ll get back to you as soon I get free." that's what I would always tell them; it's a different matter that none of them ever listened to me.

And now that I am free and all, I call for them, and they say "leave us alone". As if they have receded to deeps within, not wanting to be disturbed, or have they just evaporated. If they ever cause an earthquake I ll know where they have been.

And some thoughts just need time....they settle themselves.

They say - listen to your heart, but why does it always speak at the wrong time. And then it does not always speak when u want it to.

When you let your emotions soar, not only t nice ones even t negative ones take a flight of fancy. Doubt clouds your mind, and you are not all that hopeful all the time, but no matter where you look from, somehow there is always hope floating at a higher altitude.

And when you decide to tie them down.....life is more stable, your behavior more predictable. But then you feel fidgety, and go around looking for some adventure.

On an entirely different note - this question popped up in my mind : Is expression of pain necessary for healing? Or is it a sign of weakness?

Am not a big poetry freak, but I do love the way poets weave words around. I do fish poetry now and the when I want to relish the magical powers of words. In one of such moods hit upon these words...

Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
That is not paid in moan;
For we are born in other's pain
And perish in our own.
