Lost in translation

certain things you cant express in words ..
as if you know the language
you know what it means
but you are unable to translate them in words
that everyone can follow

it's a strange feeling

though I believe that
everyone has one such in some points of time
in their lives

then one looks around
finds an imagery
looks for the perfect poem/song/painting
that can express their feelings

at time you feel so helpless
when you are out of words

for you dont know what to put down
in your diary ..

then you seek refuge to the
'sound of silence'

Random Reflections

thinking aloud ..

Sometimes just a few days provide you with lots of insights. As if all on a sudden you wake up, open your eyes .. and discover that your not-so-significant life is offering you some new vision.

Yesterday he met his friend .. To him his friend seemed to be a changed human being .. who has lost the shine in his eyes .. lost faith in people .. Suddenly the life has become confusing to him .. He has been betrayed .. right now he does not have any fixed aim .. seeing the life in parts .. making small plans .. taking the days as they come .. But ..

just a few months back he had dream, rather dreams (only if you could have counted them) .. about his career, family .. life in general .. right now he is crestfallen .. most importantly he does not believe in people any more .. "how can one live in this way?" ..

People change .. so change the people who are attached to them .. who mean to them .. or used to mean to them .. once upon a time ..

and here people are fighting for justice .. fighting against all adversities .. fighting againt diseases, misfortune .. hoping that happier times will come soon .. believing in "we shall overcome someday" .. from Missisipi to Alabama to Mumbai ..

and here is someone thinking: Why .. Why .. why people can not remain happy .. why does fortune frown on the people who apparently have not done any harm to others .. who just wanted to live happily on their own ..

here is the question asked .. but answers .. will remain unknown .. forever?
