Moving on.....

2007-06-21T22:43:00.000-07:00

I've finally moved to Wordpress. No more mirroring.... all the 'reflecting' shall be done at

http://dailyrium.wordpress.com/

Do drop by 'once in a while' :)

Knock Knock!

2007-06-20T23:39:00.000-07:00

Knock Knock!
Who’s there?
Unni!
Unni who?
Unee a dose of delirium!

Change

2007-06-19T21:37:00.000-07:00

Change is the metric for quantifying life.

Bounded

2007-06-18T20:24:00.000-07:00

Blood rushes to the brain
and anger into the eyes
bound by compulsions
shackled by obligations
helpless, we watch the drama unfold.

But helpless are we?
Are the chains for real?

Belief

2007-06-17T11:39:00.000-07:00

The tangible presence of an invisible force only felt
can push you beyond the precipice of belief.

Riding on a high

2007-06-16T10:15:00.000-07:00

The incredibe rush while riding on a high
doesn’t last while the world passes you by

Evolve

2007-06-14T20:26:00.000-07:00

Do people hate to evolve?
Or may be they are simply stubborn.
All it requires is a little resolve.
To get rid of that scorn.

Rebel

2007-05-29T09:01:00.000-07:00

Compliance destroys ambition, shatters dreams
makes you slave around like cattle.
Break out of your shell, act on your instincts
give life a direction, a meaning, a purpose.
Rebel

All yours

2007-05-24T22:59:00.000-07:00

The ravines are yours to scale
and imprints for you to leave.
While others wait to regale
the story is all yours to weave

Plunge

2007-05-23T13:09:00.000-07:00

Ride the wave,
reach out to the fantasy.
Take the plunge,
nothing will ever come easy.

Genius

2007-04-18T02:36:00.000-07:00

Genius is but a fleeting moment in the midst of mediocrity.
lest we stay in the moment, its forever lost in continuity.

Wasted

2006-12-08T02:11:00.000-08:00

Its human to feel wasted,
like a lifetime of sacrilege.

I tell myself.

Cold

2006-12-04T00:03:00.000-08:00

The sight of the cold lowering itself onto the plains,
as grim as the shroud being pulled over the dead.
you convulse as the chill bites into your hands,
spare a thought for the homeless as you cower under the spread.

Drive

2006-12-02T20:05:00.000-08:00

Create silence in the head to clear the blur
focus on the intention for the means to appear

Humans

2006-11-07T11:06:00.001-08:00

We are so complex a species,
because we compress the entire gamut of emotions into seconds.
We are so complex a species,
because, yet, we are so superficial about it.

BANG!

2006-11-07T02:02:00.000-08:00

a shot fired in indiscretion
a life lost in vain
a lifetime of repentance
and the soul slain.

In weakness

2006-11-05T22:30:00.000-08:00

In that defining moment of weakness, you seek
a touch, a cuddle, a shoulder, anything alive
hoping someone would understand the gravity
hoping someone would understand you

Reality check

2006-11-02T10:18:00.000-08:00

The aroma of desires that brings fragrance to your life
turns to odour when the bitter truths you realize

Losing it

2006-10-31T11:59:00.000-08:00

You consume the potent concoction of heady dreams
all fear of control lost, you will seek more
but, silence the conscience when it screams
and only visions of a dark bleak future will lie in store

The Recluse

2006-10-06T16:14:00.000-07:00

Restless, i prowl the corridors
craving for the first spray of rain
An insomniac, a recluse in a crowd
the garb of happiness i feign
In the wave of humanity i long for a touch
anticipating, all in vain
Withering from the insides
in melancholy i still remain

Bite more than you can chew

2006-09-25T09:59:00.000-07:00

If you bite more than you can chew,
you will choke on it!

The Champion in Scarlet

2006-09-10T10:09:00.000-07:00

The time of reckoning is upon him
and the top of the podium beckons
the podium of Champions, of greats,
sublime masters of speed and death.
Deny him his place in history you cant
because he is the greatest, undeniably
He is the Champion in Scarlet.

Rush of blood

2006-09-08T14:52:00.000-07:00

That rush of blood everyone talks about...
well, its isn't described, its experienced

Ignorance

2006-08-24T11:30:00.000-07:00

A lot many people are hurt by incompetence and healed by ignorance.

Cut me free

2006-08-07T23:27:00.000-07:00

let me glide across space
let me feel rain in my face
let me cut through mist and haze
and let me with the winds race

cut me free,
just let me be, me

Possessed

2006-08-03T10:26:00.000-07:00

I am possesed by a desire that burns so savagely
it dispels any glimmer of doubt or skepticism

Have you?

2006-07-26T10:37:00.000-07:00

Have you ever chanced your eyes upon a sight so truly captivating,
that you stopped blinking for fear of not being able to see it again

I can

2006-07-22T04:09:00.000-07:00

see the dark clouds of doubt
feel the shroud of pain
sense the pangs of anger
hear the steps of impending doom

and i can only cower in fear.

Scarred

2006-07-18T12:38:00.000-07:00

The scars shall heal
and the pain will die
but what about the memories?
will they forever remain etched?

Its easy!

2006-07-17T23:28:00.000-07:00

Its easy to fall in love
A lot more easy when you are alone
and ridiculously easy when alone and bored!

The Feline

2006-07-14T11:18:00.000-07:00

The untamed walk mired in grace
Raw power of the limbs, coiled
senses, defined by the very instincts
and all around you, a wild glow

A tall story

2006-07-12T07:40:00.000-07:00

Did he tell you how he built the Petronas towers?
Yes he did. But it was a tall storey!!

A Dirty Joke

2006-07-10T10:50:00.000-07:00

Q) What do you call two sweepers living together?
A) Broom-mates!!

A Headshot

2006-07-04T08:59:00.001-07:00

Lying in wait, one couldnt be more still
patiently listening to the faintest sounds
the deathly silence is broken by footsteps
the hand deftly positions the crosshair
pixel by pixel, precision is redefined
and BAM!!

those were the days

The Prancing Horse

2006-07-02T07:56:00.000-07:00

A gleaming thoroughbred
breaking loose its shackles
and prancing away to glory.
Ecstasy was long denied.

All that you see

2006-06-29T13:12:00.000-07:00

Everything you see around you is an empty canvas
it is you who draw the shapes and colours

The world around you is a projection of yourself

Essence of life

2006-06-28T23:20:00.000-07:00

The essence of life is captured in the moment of realization of a dream.

A Frog Joke

2006-06-24T07:11:00.000-07:00

Q. Why do u think the frog has its origins in an european country?
A. Because they always were a tad-pole !!

Life

2006-06-23T09:07:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you live life
the rest, life lives you.

Rejuvenation

2006-06-12T11:14:00.000-07:00

Tender coconut leaves swaying in the gentle wind.
Nothing better to rejuvenate a dying ambition.

Nostalgia

2006-06-02T09:45:00.000-07:00

Nostaligia is a deadly concoction
its mesmerizingly intoxicating
but then there is the hangover too

Faith

2006-06-01T09:04:00.000-07:00

It peels away the shroud that we cloak ourselves with
gnaws away at the debris our conscience is buried under

faith is as powerful a force as it gets

Once in a while

2006-05-31T08:38:00.000-07:00

once in a while i resist modesty
once in a while praise i seek

once in a while i dare to reveal
once in a while my mind i speak

once in a while i open wounds
once in a while i also heal

once in a while i touch people
once in a while blessed i feel

and once in a while i just write
once in a while i just write

Thunder

2006-05-30T10:06:00.000-07:00

In a tremendous show of raw fury
an unknown power cracks its whip
sending people scattering for cover and
its latent fear, through our hearts rip

a life...

2006-05-29T10:04:00.000-07:00

a life lost in continuity
of dreams lost to conformation
of memories left in wilderness
and finding peace in retrospection

A moment

2006-05-28T09:06:00.000-07:00

A moment of greatness lasts exactly that - just a moment
but it takes eternity to get to that moment

but isnt it worth the journey?

Interest

2006-04-24T11:16:00.000-07:00

Q) What is an expression of interest?
A) PRT/100!!

Pity

2006-03-29T10:14:00.000-08:00

ever felt that you are inconsequential?
ever felt that you are insignificant?
ever felt that you are one in a gazillion?
ever felt like me?

Hindsight

2006-03-27T09:57:00.000-08:00

Hindsight is nothing but posterior wisdom

A song

2006-03-23T09:44:00.000-08:00

a song for pain
a song for hope
a song for peace
a song for death
a song for strife
a song for freedom
a song for everything you see
a song for everything but me

Optimism

2006-03-22T08:50:00.000-08:00

optimism is like a bubble
and reality the prick

Perspective

2006-03-20T09:53:00.000-08:00

you can be the one calling heads
or the one calling tails
or you could be the coin being tossed around.
isnt perspective everything?

Revival

2006-03-16T09:01:00.000-08:00

only after the survival
can come the revival

Lessons of life

2005-12-15T08:26:00.000-08:00

living through everyday in a trance
longing for the day of reckoning
but there is never a second chance
realize it and stop pining

Purity

2005-12-14T09:15:00.000-08:00

the aura of purity is so absolutely overwhelming
it leaves innocent happiness in its wake
instant gratification is not too difficult

Death

2005-12-13T08:52:00.000-08:00

i am obsessed with your thought
i am enthralled by your sight
i am besieged by your breath
i am enlivened by your touch

Death, hold me in your arms
as i fall into your embrace

I am ...

2005-12-12T07:29:00.000-08:00

i am not what i want to be
i am an illusion to even me

i am not what i hope to be
i am out to set myself free

i am not what i need to be
i am for me and only me

Sight

2005-12-01T10:01:00.000-08:00

do i believe what i see
or is it all an illusion
is perception involuntary
or are my eyes playing games

Wishes

2005-11-30T07:31:00.000-08:00

all i ask for is a glimpse
all i wish for is a dream
a glimpse into the future
a dream that can come true

Arrogance

2005-11-29T05:22:00.000-08:00

Its filth pervades my senses
it splits my brain in half

i try to shut it out
but i cant escape it

its conspicuously everywhere
its the stench of human arrogance

Why?

2005-11-28T05:41:00.000-08:00

why should i hide myself in abstractness?
why cant i just write what i feel?
why should i be so circumspect?
why should i be discreet in my wrath?

People - different kinds

2005-11-24T08:02:00.000-08:00

some people dont understand you even if u spell it out
while some people understand you even without a word being spoken

Sigh

2005-11-22T06:52:00.000-08:00

I grab at things beyond my reach
only to end up with a fistfull of nothing

i wish for things beyond my needs
only to end up losing what i already have

A new chapter

2005-11-21T09:22:00.000-08:00

its well past autumn
the leaves have been shed
today i turn a leaf over
and choose a new path to tread

i am off to a new beginning,
i am off to a new start
and no i am not fooling myself
and i am not being smart

Losing your nerve

2005-11-20T08:10:00.000-08:00

nothing to lose
and nothing to gain
and yet my nerve
i lost it again!

Logo's

2005-11-17T08:18:00.000-08:00

That one was Castrol
and this one is Dettol!
Hey, thats Cisco!
and this looks like Texaco.

All i see is the logo
half done and half to go.

The Language of Thought

2005-11-16T10:14:00.000-08:00

What is the language you think in?
Do we need a language to think?
Still probing my mind...

I see

2005-11-15T07:54:00.000-08:00

i see people
i see through them
i see through their actions
i see through their innermost thoughts
i see the good in them
i see the bad in them
i see everything

Opportunity

2005-11-14T07:11:00.000-08:00

it knocked at my doors
and i refused to open
it pounded with both fists
yet i refused to open
it banged and kicked
even then i refused to open

opportunity:you went-a-begging

In the downs

2005-11-11T21:35:00.000-08:00

some people think so well
they make my ideas look so small

some people write so well
they make my lines look void

some people speak so well
i have no words to match them

but some people do nothing
and hell! i excel at that.

The US

2005-11-11T06:40:00.000-08:00

a few wish for love
a few wish for cars
but these savages
crave for wars!

Music at its best

2005-11-09T20:30:00.000-08:00

brilliant riffs that leave you spellbound
ingenuity that cannot even be dreamt of
genius that is hard to equal, forget surpass
"wherever i may roam" you ring in my mind

Bloggers

2005-11-08T21:40:00.000-08:00

Their words are like beautiful beads
strung together with great skill
their thoughts help me question
and to my hearts content they fill

Digging up roads

2005-11-07T21:31:00.000-08:00

dust rising all over the place
sickens me to the core
they have dug up all the ways
and yet they dig up more!

Morning

2005-11-05T05:16:00.000-08:00

the calmness hangs in the air
too silent for my comfort
in the distance the dawn cracks
and twilight fumbles on its way back
a subtle chord strikes my ears
am brought back to reality by music
wafting through the corridors
someone's playing coldplay
"I awake to find no peace of mind"
its a beautiful morning.

I love my college.

Therapists

2005-11-05T00:53:00.000-08:00

why is it that a "therapist" is
awkwardly similar to "the rapist"?

Moonlight

2005-11-03T18:17:00.000-08:00

the branches gently sway
the leaves swish and play

a few fall down
while the rest hold on

in the dim moonlight
its a captivating sight

Work

2005-11-02T21:44:00.000-08:00

a pleasure when it works
and agony when it doesnt

Payday

2005-10-31T18:07:00.000-08:00

The incessant rains doesnt dampen you
nor does the chillness in the wind
The loneliness at work doesnt bother you
nor does the daily grind

because its payday!

Instinct

2005-10-28T16:08:00.000-07:00

when lips part and grow into a smile
when all care is thrown to the winds
when the heart beckons and you succumb
thats when thought comes after instinct

Fear

2005-10-27T19:47:00.000-07:00

it swallows your confidence
as it gnaws at your heart
it overwhelms you
and tears you apart

it plants seeds of self-doubt
as it swells up inside your head
it makes life a living hell
and makes you wish you were dead

Melancholy

2005-10-26T08:37:00.000-07:00

the city bustles in my head
as it continues on its never ending search
azure skies slowly turn red
but melancholy i sense from my perch

Nature vs Man

2005-10-25T18:04:00.000-07:00

One by one the raindrops fall on the concrete
miracle of nature meets that of man
who shall triumph is out of the question
for in the end we shall become the 'also ran'

Capture them before they flee

2005-10-24T20:30:00.000-07:00

Capture the fleeting moments of brilliance
capture them before they flee
Save them for those times of self-doubt
and you shall face life confidently
Treasure them for the times when you are down
and they shall fill you with glee
Capture the fleeting moments of brilliance
capture them before they flee.

Secrets

2005-10-23T22:40:00.000-07:00

I had a few secrets
i had hid them well
then i found the truth
so i bid them farewell

Priority

2005-10-22T23:10:00.000-07:00

On what do I base my priorities?
Why do I have to please them all?
Oh why must I be biased?
Why cannot I do justice to all?

To what purpose?

2005-10-21T10:54:00.000-07:00

What is the purpose of my existence?

My dream machine

2005-10-20T11:40:00.000-07:00

Made of metal you may be
but a mind of your own you have
sleek, smooth and splendidly crafted
unsurpassed beauty you own

a glutton you are but feed you i will
for when you breathe fire others burn
and when you stretch your legs and run
the only thing that revs faster is my heart

Indifference

2005-10-19T23:18:00.000-07:00

I stared at their torn and tattered sight
I stared with indifference at their plight
This non-chalance fills me with fright
I need to change I need to set things right
We with all our worldly riches and might
Why cant we clench our fists a little less tight?

Choice is an illusion

2005-10-18T17:26:00.000-07:00

Remote in hand you think you have control
control of what you see, of what you hear.
But wait!
This freedom of choice is merely an illusion
for programmed to perfection, we are!

Promises

2005-10-17T06:47:00.000-07:00

A promise made to self
is the hardest to keep

A promise made to others
is the hardest to break

A promise made to none
is the hardest to achieve

Unique?

2005-10-10T06:34:00.000-07:00

I was staring through the window
staring at people passing by
i was looking out for uniqueness.

Scores of people passed by
and even time flew by
but i could barely find any.

Slowly realization dawned upon me
i was only looking at forms
i never got to watch their faces!

i opened the windows
i shed all barriers
i opened my mind.

i saw happiness, i saw sorrow
i saw pain, i saw emotion
more importantly.. i found uniqueness

Bliss

2005-10-06T07:11:00.000-07:00

You know you are experiencing bliss when

food in your mouth melts like butter on a hot frying pan
you are listening to comfortably numb at 4 in the morning
its about to rain and the earth smells sweeter than any perfume

you catch a glimpse of her face when the wind lifts a tuft of her hair

Savour them while they last.

The Longest yard

2005-10-05T23:28:00.000-07:00

Went to The Longest Yard
laughed long and hard

can at least watch it once
for chris rock's great puns

The wo's

2005-10-04T11:11:00.000-07:00

The woe's and worries of life
are women and work!

The rollercoaster

2005-10-03T04:47:00.000-07:00

Up up and up it went
inch by inch, excruciatingly slow

my heart up my throat it sent
for the air it was about to plough

down paths, twisted and bent
hurtling down to the earth below

screaming to my hearts content
till my heart i again did swallow

The test of time

2005-10-01T08:24:00.000-07:00

One after one, relentlessly
dagger like questions were hurled at me

navigate through the maze, i did
and faced them all calm and placid

i now sleep till the bells again chime
For i had withstood the test of time

What music brings

2005-09-30T10:37:00.000-07:00

When the fingers move
skillfully over the strings

When the drums pound
and in my ear it rings

When the pitch rises
and in ecstasy she sings

I rise above the mundane
I feel i have grown wings

When Metal meets metal

2005-09-29T23:05:00.000-07:00

When metal meets metal
only chaos prevails
all hell breaks loose
all control fails

But its fucking awesome!

How we avoid work

2005-09-28T10:24:00.000-07:00

Amusing how we tend to avoid work
how we tend to grin and shirk
but then dont you too early smirk
for just around the corner does work lurk!
