Passing storms

Tears in my years, years in my prayers,

Prayers in my fears, fears in my storms.

Storms in a teacup, cup in my hands,

Hands in cuffs, cuffs and lashes,

All in flashes, in dreams it passes.

How daily life reflects market trends

 By reading a newspaper item on how shorter skirts signal a sound economy, I was driven to contemplate the broader ways in which economic trends are reflected in our daily lives. The economy's bulls and bears are not simply reflected in stock markets but are woven directly into society's greatest possible fabric: our lives. The ups and downs of the economy profoundly influence daily behaviors, decisions, and societal trends, providing a nuanced view of financial health and sentiment beyond traditional metrics. Style-wise, the iconic mini skirt designed by Mary Quant encapsulated "short, sweet, rebellious" and became a classic image of its times. Women's skirt lengths tend to rise during economic booms and fall during recessions, reflecting societal confidence and spending power.

How I Don't Know the March of Time?

I have to start my day Irrespective of anything. Albeit, it starts without me doing anything, I still can't stop thinking that I have to start my day. Sunrise, the wind, the trees, boisterous birds— No human needs to start the day. Oh, yes, we can spoil the day, our day, others' day. Such is the power of destruction. We wake or sleep, the day goes on, But we can take away sleep from others, which we can never give. Ra ra rarara, re re rerere... How can I be different Today, tomorrow, and day after? How can I simply be me? What's the recurring thought that, Filled with limitless agnana, I crave for gnana? The refrain goes on, "Gnana mosaga rada." All this information I gather, not helpful to elevate me, make me a different being. I struggle to become what I am not.

A Regal Encounter in Forestrek Park

Image
During our evening walk, Gangadhar and I noticed a peacock perched on a tree with its long tail up and head down. This enchanting scene unfolded in Forestrek Park near Chilkur, a quiet and sprawling haven for walkers, even on a hot and humid day. At first glance, the peacock looked very different, almost like a huge black object hanging from the tree. This unusual posture added to the intrigue of the sighting, making the scene even more captivating. Expecting the peacock to fly away, I quickly drew my phone to capture the moment. To my surprise, the peacock alighted from the tree and came a bit closer, allowing me to zoom in and take a magnificent shot. He looked huge, regal, and in command, not scared or unsteady at all. It’s comforting to know that such serene places still exist in our urban landscape. The trek provided a wonderful contrast: on one side, the walk itself, and on the other, the unexpected sighting of a wild peacock.
