A pair of socks

January 26th, 2012

When you can find no reason
come over to me,
i shall tell thee,
stories,

of people and them motivations
of acts done, when none
no reason,
no season or neighbour,
agreed,
said- no, it can’t be.
but they did.
And moved on.

of history and battles,
of peaceful marches, (in our case)
when none stood,
but them who were none, unknown,
and unknown they went.
of incidents, that changed the world.

when you can find no reason
come to me.
I shall tell thee,
stories.

stories, yes; that is what remains,
:)


before the ashes die

January 13th, 2012

alone them walk,
alone leaving all behind.
holds a few close
them; close to feel alive.

friends no longer the beloved,
instruments to enjoy free time.
family, yes,
they are close
but the truth, bitter as brine,
only them knows.

walked past hundred,
walked above hundred,
still hundred more
to be left behind,
who knows?

a perfect life,
yes, an envyed one.
a child, a partner; one more joy filled day,

but the raven mocks,
fruits! fruits! fruits!
but where are them roots?
mocks, then flies away.

Over the gates

January 9th, 2012

Hi,
today is


12:26

January 5th, 2012

hi,

it is supposed to be winter, but it sure is not, temperature is high enough to make it summer.

Two weeks since the last post. right now a euphoria engulfs me, a mirage strong enough to drive me insane.

only way to get out of it is to accept reality, you are not the only one, but you are among the hundreds around. sometimes, the people you think you know, don’t even know(care) you are there.

tough, on your way down trying to hold on to a rock, which isn’t there.

no economics for today.


a step up

December 26th, 2011

the disturbance around, the social issues, i will not not say, economics doesn’t play a role in it. if conditions were better they wouldn’t have come out.

but if we analyze these with gandhian principles, they were always there. hidden by the illusion of safety, they were breathing. they were there.

character building starts from childhood itself; but the world is changing, growing smaller, books are not working. we do try, but taste failure.

change, frame rules to answer their questions.


inside-out

December 24th, 2011

economics is one thing, what i hold dearer are feelings, actions of love, togetherness, compassion, not to miss culture, family and nation.

any resolution i make, any decision we take, every remedy we apply -will turn out to be a temporary one. Talk of us, family, society, a company or nation; a lasting solution needs backing of character. Humane persists, others rise & fall.

call it family, a project, policy or a social structure; character is the back bone. care for it, preserve it, hold it dear.


bless our times

December 24th, 2011

why the silence? where are the articles, i used to publish?
i am breaking my own rules, expression has been replaced with silence.

not good, absolutely not good. expression is my best friend.

since the time i started writing about energy market, i have changed a lot.
i read, read, read, formulate but publish not. every month i think, i have connected the dots, by month end, dots disappear.

hope this new year brings blessings to us all.

sky is the limit

December 8th, 2011

sky is the limit

the economics of last half a century shows inclination towards this ideology. for a long time in my career, i have kept on justifying this ideology. with the ever expanding population & the ballooning wants of society, yeah! sky is the limit.

it seems sensible too with the increasing requirements, why not? an equally expanding money system, what is wrong?

the speed was matching, at least the figures matched.

we defied the most basic principle, pyramids don’t stand inverted.


caring; my boat

December 7th, 2011

Hi,
Everyday, about two kilometer earlier to my second bus stop, I come across a tricolor, one thing that I consider mine. Sometimes, it is silent, othertimes it is flying high; that I take as a blessing.

The strength of expressioni is understood equal is the value of silence. Last month, a friend taught me that if a vessel is sinking, it needs repairs more then thoughts. She drove me towards silence; for infact, my boat is leaking.

It had been a few months; but yesterday, i went for a walk


oil n oil :crisis v/s opportunity 1

November 15th, 2011

Crisis & opportunity both walk hand in hand.
If the incrementing prices constitute a crisis for the balance of payment. There is an opportunity too.
first, the crisis. Can it be called a bubble?
The cost is increasing, but the prices can not be; the ripple effect, take any decision, is going to hurt the economy & it is expanding.

Recent confirmations come from the libyan conflict; decreased o/p did hike the price, but resumed (1/3rd, 6L b/d) production didn’t reduce the price.

Better wake up.
