I walked the plains in search of what I wanted.
I knew where to find it,
And followed the directions on the compass.
Only when I reached my destination,
I realized that it wasn’t my goal,
I had followed the wrong compass.

Everybody is in search of the right direction, some use experience, some use intuition, some use faith and some use that compass deep inside their heart.

There were a lot of people at the store but when she walked by I had to notice her. She was beautiful in the traditional way beauty was measured but there was something about her that was intriguing.

Fascinating as it seemed, it was a combination of small rare qualities in her that stood out. Its hard to pin point and put into words what it was that made her unique. Couldn’t help but think… maybe it is seeing someone like this that makes poets out of men.

It was the day before the show that the feeling truly hit me. I was standing in the center of the stage and suddenly there was this overwhelming feeling of being drowned, it felt like my lungs were searching for that extra bit of air to save my life. In the midst of all the commotion and the running around, for the first time I knew what all of this meant…

Sach toh yeh hai kasoor apana hain
Chaand ko chuune ki tamanna ki
Aasamaan ko jamin par maanga
Phool chaaha ki paththaron pe khilein
Kaanton mein ki talaash khoshboo ki
Aarjoo ki ke aag thandak de
Barf mein dhundate rahein garmi
Khwaab jo dekha chaaha sach ho jaaye
Isaki humko saja toh milani hi thi
Sach toh yeh hai kasoor apana hain
-Javed Akhtar (Main Jahaan Rahoon[mehfil mix] - Namastey London)

Deism is the belief that God exists and created the physical universe, but does not interfere with it. It is related to a religious philosophy and movement that derives the existence and nature of God from reason. It takes no position on what God may do outside the universe.

- Deism (Wikipedia)

So what makes me talk about an odd philosophical concept like Deism all of a sudden… Well I was introduced to the word and its meaning in Sophie’s World a couple of days ago. I say introduced to the word (and not concept) coz… you wont believe this… I wrote a short story a couple of years ago based on the the very same concept!!!

The story: The Truth
Abstract: A convicted scientist tells the story of his discovery about the universe and the earth and how it destroyed his life…

Cant believe I wrote it when I was 19

Ps: All this makes me miss writing short stories… I should seriously get back to my passion.

Sometimes loneliness hits you when you least expect it…
An overwhelming feeling that leaves you drowning in thirst.
I have found that its at these dire moments that I seek solace with words…
And find company in the timeless locked thoughts.

She was looking out at the street and said “Yesterday I called a friend… Oddly another friend of mine picked up the call.” She was looking at me now “I was wondering, what does it tell you about those two friends if you felt happy/sad to hear the other friend’s voice?”

She always comes up with interesting questions… I smiled and replied “What do you think it tell you?”

Her: I don’t know. Deciding whome i like more based on just one random occurrence is unfair on me I think.
Me: Well there you go, it doesn’t necessarily have to say anything.
Her: Why did you say ‘necessarily’? You believe it shows bias, dont you?
Me: Yeah… I think it does. I have always had a few people who I love to speak to. Always tend to have the best conversations with them and always look forward to speaking with them. Obviously if one of them picks up the call, I would be delighted.

She stared at me for a second or two and asked “Who are in the list?”
Me: What is with this morbid fascination with names. People are always falling over each other to ask “who?”. When infact the important thing is the information itself not the participants. People want names, as if that will be of any use, when they would possibly never meet or interact with that person. Wouldnt ’someone’ suffice?

She leaned forward…
She: Am I in the list?
Me: This is like the situation where someone calls up a tv/radio show to dedicate a song. They do their requests and add ‘also I dedicate is song to you’. Now we dont know if the person did it out of courtesy or actually honestly likes the host… If I said “yes you are on the list”. What guarantee do you have that it was a honest answer.

She stared at me with those pretty eyes and slowly smiled…
