the force that connects us all....

saw the destruction in all of 10 seconds , following the tsunami in japan,
what followed next is a phenomenon which defies human understanding,
beyond the barriers of race, nationality & language people across the globe bowed their heads in prayer for the ones who lost their lives, their homes, their loved ones and finally for the ones who are supposedly the next in queue for the impending destruction.
agreed though, that the cynics might just reject all this as just another form of banality, superficial n possibly artificial reactions to yet another big calamity , under the shade of which, life will indeed just MOVE ON!!!
But I am speaking for the souls, unrelated , unconnected whatsoever to the victims,; who indeed felt that tug of pain, that physiological grieving that our whole system undergoes whenever we lose some1 we love...
I am speaking of The connection, which binds all the human souls together..
all the thinking, praying, grieving., forgiving souls of the world..
the souls that form the 'UNIVERSAL SOUL' as 1ce quoted by Paulo Coelho in his acclaimed novel 'the alchemist'
yes...we are united,
not even in death
but also in happiness,
freedom
and all form of emotional releases so to speak..
how can we forget the moment when a tyrant was captured,
scurrying beneath the soils of the very motherland whose citizens he slaughtered.,

or the moment in egypt , where the millions of souls rejoiced at the downfall of mubarak

I am speaking of the connection which Indeed is beyond all the divisions created by mankind or even God himself.....

behind d clown's mask...

Being funny comes at a price,
That u can never be that cranky, on-the-verge-of-tears, touchy little girl again!!
Not even if u r dying to be..;sometimes so desperately that u want to scream out to the world to get attention...
I'v been there,; countless times...
Like evry1 else.
As u cross dat particular threshold of being a child and a person,
U choose to keep the mundane grievances-of-nothings aside, n d only other option dan hiding ur fears, tears, repentence n expectations behind a clown's mask is being uptight, indifferent..,aloof.. Now this, interestingly, is far more difficult i believe...
No, i absolutely do not agree dat humans are different in this dimension; of being able to 'feel'...of all the wide world of creatures, we've been bestowed with d most developed hippocampus.,; the seat of emotions!!
The reason dat tears, smiles, n songs touch our hearts ,even beyond the barriers of language, race, caste, creed n diffrences galore!!
Then WHY must we not cry when we have to..?!
Because a fake smile is sadder than the grimmest of mournings,!
Not every voyage sees a smooth sail, evry1 has the right to feel dat life's been UNFAIR!!!
No wonder, clowns r the epitomes of silent suffering in many of my fellow soul-sisters' n brothers' hearts!!
