Just finished watchin and listenin to Obama's victory speech. i would like to call it "The 'Yes we Can' Speech". I think the change is here...

Some of my favorite lines in literature...

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.
-TS Eliot, Little Gidding

Home is where one starts from.

As we grow older

The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated

Of dead and living. Not the intense moment

Isolated, with no before and after,

But a lifetime burning in every moment

And not the lifetime of one man only

But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.

-TS Eliot, East Coker

Since this short span might

well be lived as lives the laurel,deeper in its green than

all other green surrounding,

leaves, edged by wavelets,

smiling like the breeze-

then why, destiny overcome,

must we still be human

and long for further fate?

Not because happiness exists,

that apparent advantage

which barely presages loss.

Not out of curiosity,

nor as an exercise of

such a heart as likewise

in the laurel lies...But

because to be here

means so very much.

Because this fleeting sphere

appears to need us-

in some strange way

concerns us: we...most fleeting of all.

-Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

-William Blake, Auguries of Innocence

In the deserts of the heart

Let the healing fountain start,

In the prison of his days

Teach the free man how to praise.

-W H Auden, In Memory of WB Yeats

Several extracts from Tennyson's In Memoriam, I wish i could mention them all but there are way too many!

well i had big plans of writin a profound piece after i finished reading my frend's blog but smhow the inspiration died even before i could put my thoughts in words. It s only coz of things around me...everything is out of order....i am out of sorts...so...sorry Arunabh for not takin d inspiration to the level u thot i wud...

passin thot

The Dark Knight

One of those films that make you "think"...had dis amazin character of "Joker" who believes that every human (when pushed to his/her limts) will turn into a monster.....He knows how 2 play wid the minds of the other humans(includin Batman). d movie had this awsm scene whr the joker decides to do this "social experiment". Two huge ferrys full of scared and helpless people and each ferry given a detonator. both ferrys have a basement full of bombs ready 2 expload at the detonator's call. Now, the scene is:

Joker tells both the ferrymen to blow the other ship in one hour or he'll blow both the ships at the end of the hour!

Won't tell u how the scene ends bt i think it ws one of d most sensitively handled scenes in all the superhero movies that i have ever seen....

d movie is a mst watch!

Height of frustration

i wish d world ws blank and i could paint it d way i want to.i wish i cud just start things all over again.....there would have been no reds and a lot of greens...preferably light greens....i would have used less of beige and grey too and concentrate more on the blues....all shades of blue....would have mixed blacks and whites in a way that a new colour was made...with no name....also, i would have added a lot of yellow. Pink would have been all over the place with hints of white..infact...i would made the base of the world white and then moved on to other colours on my palate. it would have been fun...with bold strokes of orange and a silver lining here and there.....

a plea

I finished watching "An Inconvenient Truth" and I felt the urge to recommend it to everyone I know. The sheer reality and the rawness of the way the topic of global warming has been dealt with made me sit up and take notice. I know what you must be thinking... “why should I waste one hour and thirty minutes watching a documentary on global warming when I can do whole lotta interesting stuff?” well, I don’t have an answer for that but all I can say is that watch it for your own sake. I never thought that a documentary could be so unbiased and sans implicit motive. I say watch it for what it is. We all need to do what we can to counter global warming. I am planning to talk to my school principal about it when I meet him next week or so. I would like to make some suggestions to him as to how we can make the younger generation more aware about the causes and the consequences of this issue. I believe that the first step required to take this problem head on is to make people aware of the existence of the problem. I think this documentary succeeds to a large extent in helping this cause. Therefore, I am spreading the word to my friends and people I know.
