Poe-tic Lie-scents ! :)

Thanks to a funny article shared by my friend Roopa D'Almeida about pony-tails & an equation describing them, I suddenly had this hunch to scribble a couple of lines modeled on the famous (& one of my favourites, fer its ability to create 'atmosphere' with words!) poems of Edgar Allan Poe, "The Raven".

Without much ado, I present to you the work below (please click on the image to see/read better!)














Note:
Another peculiar thing fer my dear friends to observe is the 'dimensions' of the 'FRAME' in which I have 'composed' this; the white image originally is of the size 1034 X 639 pixels. 

Why..??

Any guesses..?


Yes !!!


The ratio 1034/639 approaches the value of 1.618, the Golden Ratio-'Phi'...

At-least some food fer thought, in my "Phi-night" existence...?!?!

Hope this poem makes you smile...fer a while pa..!??!

Liked it..!?!?

Ok then...give me a High-Phi...!!! :-)
[Incidentally, the pun was on High-Five, and Phi plays a vital role in all things five sided, from the Pentagon to the Star-shape...Hmmm.....! :)]


Love & Best Wishes,

A pithy lit'l ge(R?)m..!! <3 :)


A R[ae]gex quote...!! :)


Recently, this quote "came to me" out of nowhere, in response to a cute little cartoon shared by my dear friend Arun Kapoor...

And i felt it deserve(s/d) to be shared...with YOU too/esp....!! J
================

"....OLL i need....is a 
((CARTOON)?(ist)?) (FRienD)?...
Hmmm...."

:~ me-(mo)R(on)
================

Yes !!
I couldn't believe it...!
It was a unique, REGEX quote...where (expr)? denotes 0 or 1 occurrences of expr --TRY it..! :)

And then, I spontaneously thought (& wrote!) aloud (on FaceBook). . .

that 
since there aRe 3 ? symbols, (0 or 1 occurrences!), there aRe 2^3 = 8 possible combinations & hence quotes possible...! 

Now, that's pithy....ain't it..!?! ;-) :P
[
Yeah...what a PiTy...!! :( 
Indeed it is...that the language has to suffer a fool like me gladly !:D
]


================
* * (000)
"....OLL i need....is a...Hmmm..."
--Sadness...un-expressed emotions..!! :-(::

================
* * (001)
"....OLL i need....is a FRienD...Hmmm...."
--Loneliness...

================
Soon, I also observed that (010) & (011) r not meaningful...
* * (010)  "....OLL i need....is a...ist...Hmmm..."
&
* * (011)  "....OLL i need....is a ist FRienD...Hmmm..."
================


But the REMAINING were oLL fine :)


================
* * (100)
"....OLL i need....is a CARTOON...Hmmm...." --again, someone lonely...but who loves cartoons..! :P [who else..! :P]

================
* * (110)
"....OLL i need....is a CARTOONist...Hmmm...."
--Purrhaps..the editor of a newspaper/magazine..!? :P

================
* * (111)
"....OLL i need....is a CARTOONist FRienD...Hmmm...."
--straight-forward... :)
================


Sorry fer irritating oll by stating the 'obvious' (?!)...but ONLY becoz i tried it did i realize that 2 of them were invalid..!

But as I've quoted E.T.Bell in my blog ,
"Obvious, is the most dangerous word in mathematics." 

Thanks fer bearing with me...!

Lots of LOVE & Bessst Wishes...AL(L)ways...as always...! :)

Alone

(a poem by one of my favourites...Maya Angelou )


ALONE

Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home 
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone 

I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone. 


There are some millionaires
With money they can't use 

Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone. 

But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know 

Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan, 

'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

The Mystery of Enlightenment...!

I want to share the below conversation I saw/remembered. . .which illustrates the contradictory-looking nature/words of the great Eastern Masters...(that's because, the underlying Reality/illusion itself...is so contradictory...with such a dual nature, that its description too becomes cryptic & even non-sense to the Logical Mind, which can never get it...!)

A
great Indian Master was once asked by one of his perplexed disciples,


" Master, I really do not understand...!!

You once said that --
'The journey to Enlightenment is very hard and arduous! '

but..but...I also remember you saying yesterday that--
'Enlightenment is right Here and NOW...you don't have to go anywhere to get it!'

How is this possible..? Isn't that contradictory..? "

To this, the Master nodded his head, smiled and calmly replied:

" Not at all. What i said is true.

Enlightenment
, or GOD or whatever you may want to label it...is
ALWAYS Right Here, & Right NOW..!

But are YOU..??


It is YOU who is NOT
HERE & NOW...!!

You are in your false world of illusions...always either in the PAST or in the FUTURE...either HERE or THERE..!!

Hence, it is YOU who has a long & arduous journey to the HERE & the NOW...!
Enlightenment
/GOD...is waiting fer YOU..Right Here, Right Now..!


It is Right here, Right now--in fact all around YOU...in your blood, in your breath, in every heart-beat of yours...!

But are YOU here..?

NO !!
NEVER..!!

It is difficult for you to leave the world your ego has created--replete with a false sense of security, wealth, name, etc...!

It needs Courage to take that plunge...& to really "SEE"...the fact that the process is EASY because of GOD...but difficult because of YOU..!!

"
