Plain Truth

A cold silence
separates us
Frozen feelings
keep us together
Don’t try to thaw it
Forget warming up
Or malice will spill over

    that changes the complexion of the whole thing. beautiful. but a tiff now and then is all right. should not last more than two hours, though.

    cold silence separating and frozen feelings binding is a nice image of contrasting quality of the same thing.

    Trying to get what others feel is good may be. Never tried.
    writing is cool as ever.
    The design on your page is too bright. means its good but difficult to read. so can you change please.

    Rohit's comment betrays a certain frigidity. You should have said : "you write beautifully, but isn't the page, the whole prospect, a little hard on the eyes? will you change please?" :)

    you can be more colourful. bring in a little more brightness, contrast and that subtle sense of aesthetics that only you young people know how to bring.

    @ Cgharu
    Thanks for changing the design.

    @ Venugopal sir.
    Sir, i am not good in expressing things. Sometimes it changes the real meaning i know but i am working hard on this.
    Sometimes i miss the soul of the poem too, i know thats bad but what to do.
    I am reading more and more to understand the art and gain.
    Thats why i am not commenting regularly.
    Thanks for taking a note on the comment.
    Regards
    Rohit

Long Night

On an unknown road, in a moonless night I start for home Not sure of reaching my destination As death haunts the place I shudder with fear of unknown But for the light of love I am engulfed in darkness My guiding voice inspires me, Shows me the right way, Makes sure I'm safe And then... It's time to bid good night!

Women give family life a thumbs up

In the man’s world, as they call it, it’s a mad race. Once you’re off the bus, it’s tough to get back on it. But unlike her male counterpart, even the most fiercely competitive woman is a mother, a caregiver, first. Driven by this instinct, there are some happy mommies who have said glad goodbyes to full-time jobs so that they could be with their kids. ‘‘I want the best for my son and that includes ‘sanskar’, which only parents can inculcate. Being a perfectionist, I wanted to give 100% to both my family and work. But the two things don’t go together. So, I gave up my career altogether for my top priority, my 12-year-old son,’’ says Dr Anjali Kashyap, a radiologist. Searching for harmony, MBA Monica Shukla feels, ‘‘Balancing home and work is an art that decides our level of happiness. I think I have achieved it to some extent. The moment I first held my bundle of joy, my motherly instinct told me to give her the best. Thank God for a work-from-home opportunity that came my way. Now

Time travel: Those were the days

Fiery 50s A truly black ‘n’ white era, the 1950s was a time of recovery. While the world was licking its WW-II wounds, India had just gotten used to the idea of freedom. As the Indian Constitution came into effect in January 1950, a wave of optimism swept the country. It was a simple life, peppered with fond viewing of cinema that was largely dominated by the likes of Suraiya, Madhubala, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor. Nargis-starrer Mother India caught the imagination of the entire nation as it became the ultimate saga of sacrifice and a salute to womanhood. There were golden oldies like Awara, Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, Shree 420 and Kagaz Ke Phool. Then came the watershed moment in Indian cinema; Satyajit Ray released Pather Panchali in ’55. And who can forget the charisma and magnetism of the undisputed King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, who continues to be worshipped by music lovers across the globe. The Italian beauty, Sophia Loren, became the ultimate diva for movie buffs, who w
