Moments lost ...6th July 2024


Days gone by, moments vanished in air,

Times yet to be born, arriving with gentle care.

Time, a testimony to memories past,

Breathing quietly, observing from a hilltop at last.

Dales and valleys stretch far and wide,                                                                                

Mist and mystery shroud the other side.

If only I knew how to travel through time's door,

What would I do? The question echoes evermore.

In idle moments, the mind explores and roams,

Psychedelic dreams, a kaleidoscope of thoughts and homes.

In my garden, I found several broken stone pieces scattered, each bearing its unique shape and form. Among these stones, one caught my attention. I had recently come across a quotation online that resonated deeply with me: "In the end, we all become stories." This thought lingered, compelling me to consider how each life, if understood and articulated well, could indeed be a compelling story. I often found that my shared experiences didn’t always elicit the response I hoped for, while gossip about me seemed far more intriguing.

My vision was to frame this stone in a unique yet economical way. Fortunately, I found a carpenter willing to take on this unusual task. I even bundled in a few other odd jobs for him. However, when the job was completed, my excitement turned to disappointment. While fixing the stone into the ...

Tale of two observers ...31st July 2024 ( Chaganti garu's timeless tale, retold by me)

 Tale of two observers A learned man, devoted to teaching his students, lived opposite a prostitute's residence. He would often observe her clients and ponder her perceived debased life. Meanwhile, the lady would secretly watch the scholar's spiritual pursuits and noble teachings. The story raises a profound question: who is truly cultivating noble thoughts and nurturing their soul - the learned man, despite his fascination with the prostitute's life, or the prostitute herself, who observes and perhaps aspires to the scholar's spiritual path? This story highlights the importance of looking beyond surface-level appearances and judgments, and instead, focusing on one's own actions and intentions. It encourages self-reflection and challenges us to reevaluate our assumptions about others.  (From a story shared by Chaganti Koteswara rao garu)

Life's Indifferent Rhythm

Life's rhythm beats on, unbroken, Despite Nostradamus' ominous prophecies spoken. Meteorites may hurtle toward Earth's door, Yet still we eat, sleep, and face life's roar. The mysteries persist, a haunting refrain: Why are we here? What lies beyond life's pain? La la la... And so, life goes on, in all its strife, A chaotic dance, a fragile, fleeting life. Some toil to survive, their daily bread in sight, Others lose sleep, haunted by the ghosts of night. Each soul, lost in its own world, adrift and alone, As the universe unfolds, indifferent to our mortal throne.
