darkness was all tat was there in the land.......people there did not know wat light was,they could not even see each other....but they still lived on....by sounds they recognised,by touch they felt each other......by smell they hunted....and their spirit kept them alive............
The ever enduring darkness held many dangers,but they still enjoyed their life.....there were scientists among them,there were soldiers,there were doctors and engineers among them...........
And there was love too,deep in the annals of the ever enduring night love was found and there was beauty and seduction in voice.....and music ,there was music too....the soft blowing breeze refreshed their mind and the ice chilled rain water cleansed their body..........
For an outsider their life might have been one of misery but for them their lives were of joy,love and laughter....
Their inner flame keeps them alive and pushes them on day by day.....in a world where eyes are useless they do not see the ugliness of the world around them...beauty they could already sense.....
all of us are like them......we have eyes but we do not see or wish to see wat happens around us .....but worser than them in not sensin the evils around us......worser than them in suppressin our love,worser than them in lack of spirit sometimes.....worser than them in wishin for wat we dont have yet not carin of the treasure that is within us....worser than them in not using ourselves to speak out and act against the injustices around us........................................................

Demons and Angels(About me in orkut).....

Told i was that there were devils and angels in this world....That for every angel that is born in this world there
is a devil born to be his/her enemy..Astronomy tells you that for every sun there must exist a nemesis...
Alan Iverson once said,"For every one million people that like me there are ten milllion who hate me"...
No one person not even the great Mahatma can claim that every person in the world liked him....
Throughout my little time in the third rock from the sun i have had many people hatin me...special mention must be given to most of my teachers of plus one,plus two in school most of whom expressed their displeasure with me during the few hours i found time to be in class.......
then there are contemporaries,some hate me for the person that i am,some i have been told envy me(god knows wat is there in me to envy)....but every one do manage to show each of their 32 teeth when i wave at them....
people will continue to hate me.....
but through all these 1000s who wants to find a reason to hate me there are still 600 odd people in here and many more around that really do like me and hell i ride with them.....
Where is that sun who has born with me as his/her nemesis...where is tat angel who wishes to take on this demon.........
HELL I AM WAITIN

"Hey Ashi.....i m waitin for half an hour at the Parkinsons square....make it quick..otherwise we may not make it to the marriage in time".......Ashish checked the message in his brand new N95 and smiled...the sender was Kiran...a friend from college,his former classmate now workin in Infosys..He was on the way to the marriage of another classmate Mini J Kuriakose,and had to pick up Kiran on his way....'Some things never change',he thought...he still was as poor in punctuality as he was then...Then and now,Boy! how quickly could things change....from being the number 1 uzhappan in his batch at CET to now being a highly dignified self styled 'guru' in mangement....
From a middle class teenager to a highly paid,sought after buisness whiz........what a difference just 5 years can make!...He was smilin smartingly as he drove his new mercedes, given as a complement to him by his new boss for choosin that company to work in,through the final turn that lead to 'Parkinsons square',a former hangout place durin his FCT days when in college(*FCT-Futbol Clube de Thozhuvankode..biggest daysci gang in CET)......Kiran was there,sweatin heavily in the afternoon heat...
'Wow man!new car",Kirans facial expression and his emotion towards his friend changed as soon as he saw his friends new car......"You got to give this to me for a ride dude",Kiran said as they were drivin towards the church were the marriage was to take place....."No way man!",said Ashish and even though smilin he meant it too...his new car was his baby,he did not want to give it to anyone....Kiran still pestered around for some more time,kept quiet for exactly 30 secs and asked,"Why did u say u were not comin when u were first invited for this dude?"...Ashi's bollywood star like face suddenly hit a frown,he looked at Kiran and said "Nothin,did not feel like it"...
It was not 'nothin' ,Ashi said to himself in his heart....Mini whose marriage he was goin to was his sweetheart when in college,it was one one secret he never let out of his heart...not even to his closest of friends..There were reasons myriad,he thought as he drove through the now expanded city road,Mini belonged to a very rich and famous Catholic family......and Ashi in a lower middle class family of the other religion....It was not only religion,despite being the rebel he was in college(and even now),he knew this was one love story which was never meant to take place.........also his academics was on the lower side when in college too,which at that time implied a low placement..and his basic intution told tat Mini who was one of the biggest bhuji's in class would never fall in love with him....So he froze that feeling in heart...but still it somehow did not die down...and he could feel it very clearly when Mini's best friend Akanksha called him up to invite him to the marriage on her behalf.........Thats why he said no in the first place at the same time wondering why Mini's marriage took so long to happen...
He was still engrossed in thoughts as he drove into the church where the marriage was to take place....As he and Kiran went inside there were a lot of old faces waitin for them,all of them lookin at fascination towards Ashi-now an IIM graduate who was recruited to the topmost IIM despite being a fresher....Employed in a consulting company first,then in Halleburton,and after that now in another dream company drawing an astronomical salary and is now easily the most eligible bachelor in town..

The marriage took place,the lunch was over......everyone was leaving....the usual photo session with friends took place.....Ashi and Minis eyes just met once and they smiled at each other..The newly weds left the place....
The other friends met at the local CCD in the evenin for a pre planned get together.....Ashi,Kiran and Akanksha(with her little baby) were there.....Just as the party was over and they were on the way out Ashi asked Akanksha,"Why did Mini's marriage take so loong?"...She gave a startled look and then started speakin,"Now its over i can tell u,Mini liked u,no loved u when in college...right from the first day she saw u...but since she was afraid anythin might happen to her father because of her relation with u...so she buried her love for u..also she thought she was not your type of girl..in the beginnin she rejected all the proposals that came to her coz none of them were u.....even though she gave different reasons for it...it was evident this was the reason..finally her parents made her choose this guy,that's why the marriage took place".........
As Akanksha finished her story,Ashi's face changed and his face conveyed his emotion to Akanksha......She left without sayin anythin more...
"Ashi, can u atleast give me the keys now....for the ride back home"...It was Kiran,Ashi handed him the keys without any delay....."What happened?..Did u see a ghost?"Kiran asked him as he started the car....Ashi did not know the emotion that he was going through,is it sadness?anger?he did not know.......As the silver Mercedes streaked under the city lights Ashi sat inside................ like a man.............. who had lost every thing ................
