Wisdom of the marigolds...

Life is like a dooms-parade...
With thousands of zealous flocks flying out of the blue window....
You & Me are those gazing eyes looking at the greenway fields
where mother nature had spread her loin's cloth for all those losted souls...
those! seeking destiny in this world full of gloom...
As everybody walking along the red carpet turn a deaf ear to this mute world...
Therein lies the onus on us to take care of those gentle hands with our caring soul
...to show them the path towards a dreamful solitude where no one lies alone ~~but!
stays full of life with stretches of golden marigold flowers blooming out at every edge..
Just to keep the light alive as the nightangle had once shown the path from darkness
of the self to the rising of the soul within...
Follow the light in the cave of harmony..for it is the beacon of happiness...
Follow the light in the mind of peacefulness...for it is the eternity of the soul...
Follow the light in the rising of the spirit of the marigolds as they come with the inner child within....

As she brought me back from the edge...

The stretches of my destiny beyond the unknown were once more lashed by the waves of thought...
They have been integrated within my soul like a little thread in the kingdom of love...
As I open my inner eyes to the distant sea she spreads her widespread arms around me and holdsme tight...
I cling tight to her as the current tries to sweep me through and her tender arms protects me from drowning deep into the calm blue water...
She instilled the moment of joy within me when I was in search of a truthful wisdom...
The life full of anguish was struck off my heart with a tender stroke of colourful and joyous paint...
The touch of brush...the smell of the paint...the imagery was strewn with thoughts of untold beauty in my heart...
The morning glory was in a moment of touch turned into a colour of my life I had never seenbefore..
She had come to be with me...She had come to be with me....
We took a ride down the memory lane together as she showed me the path I had missed out on when I was growing up without her soul within myself..
The road steered clear as we kept treading the path never seen before...
The stretch smelled of nature...smelled of paint never nourished before...smelled of the firstrain of my life..
Tears of happiness were rolling down my face when she took me in her arms once again just to say...
I have come to be with you again....I have come to be with you again...

Rising of a soul lost in translation....

While getting lost in a life full of thousand translations...
I was hold back by you from falling into the deep crevasse of my horrifying childhood
Roads had gone haywire in those untraversed paths as I failed to put my feet on them..
Days of sorrow...Days of anguish had put a pain in my distant past...
Just a little plant imprinted in the open heart of my craving soul had asked you to be the light in the blue...
You were the beacon of the eternal soul whose love full of care was thrown once on my little shoulders as I spread out my hands into the dark...
The lighthouse in the far away sea had spread its light all around on a moonlit night when you had come to me to sit by my side and show me love..
But I was a deaf commuter in the world full of silence and so I failed to hear the call of the sky through your inner soul...
Suddenly in the spark of the moment...
A moment full of serendipity flashed its light....and the call of the wild voiced its laughter in the Amway bush to make me hold on tight to you…
There I was amidst the entire arena of my loved ones...everyone by my side...
All my fears were thrown out to the light to make me free and release me to dwell out on the golden fortunes of a Pleasantville drive in the eternal world...
As I rode the chariot of gold...with you in my hand...the ropes were released for me...
We rode away in that night of dreams when the bud of our sunshine love bloomed out in full….
It felt like a Xanadu in those grassy lands....
Little Buddha was watching us with his Lotus bloom away in full...
The blessings of all were bestowed on us as we sped away with the love full in bloom....

Close encounter with the river…and the rising sky..

The river was on its way to the kingdom of love when she met me on her path…
As she stopped for that brisk moment of time I was standing there in those leaflets of little water to listen to her…
Oh! My river lady why did you take me to those distant lands when I was in need of you…
The more I try to drift away from you the more did you bring me near like a hungry tide amidst the frontal waves…
The gazing sky was the only witness to this moment of silence when you had stopped by my side to take me on your wings of love and be lost in those transatlantic waters…
The colour of your love and the colour of the bridal sky was the treasured gift of my heart….when I was weeping in the corner of an unknown destiny –
But as you made me flow like a mad stream of current in those river-blue waters and the sky put the cloak above my head to unmask thy inner self…I was for once sure that I was never alone…
Life kept changing and so did we all but you both always there as two budding blooms in the nomads land of fortune paradise…
As the sole guiding force of light which can’t be seen with those wordly eyes but with the eyes of the beloved…You chose me to be the faith of your life….
…and as you kept your wings on me and the arms on my shoulder I was relieved of all the worries in my life…
I was declared a free bird after all…I was declared a free bird after all….

The Finale of Our Space Odyssey...

Tears of my eyes....Tears of your eyes were once there to hold us back from crossing the river...
But as you took the first step to the mindful solitude...
The road ahead of us steered clear of all the dangers we sensed within our soul.....
--holding hand in hand...you felt on me like a blue lotus who had the desire to sleep in my golden arms...
--and me like a child-mother had felt the warmth of your little bud....
---and let it grow in that eventful night of the starry skies....
The sky above our head were full of those starry tinklets who dropped on us in the silence of the gazing night as droplets of the little ocean on our enamoured faces....
We kept lying that night under the roof of the world...
She was our only shelter since she had given birth to us and had kept me there in the kingdom of love to take care of you and to make you dream forever my child....
--to make you dream forever
.....never feel the darkness within
....am there within you-
Hear to your soul and hear to your beloved....you can hear nothing but those falling drops of water on the leaves of my imagination and the wings of fortune waiting for you with the chariot of our love to leave on our final journey...
The final spacewar is yet to begin on a new note....
--since the world is coming to an end!
---- and we are the only two people in this lonely world to take care of those blind souls who are waiting for our hands to be held in theirs forever so that they can also begin their journey as the little angels of love...
That is how a new era will begin....
A new world will begin...
where there shall be no Neos but the soul of the eternal Neo...
...feeling and spreading the love for all with guiding light in his mind and seeking destiny forever and ever…

Reaching the unbound Sky...

Here I was strandled amidst the holy abode of God while on my way back to Kolkata from Bangalore in the Air-Sahara flight - the day was entering the closet of the darkness and that's when I decided to open the shutters and capture the imagery in my soul, knowing it very well that using an electronic gadget esp. a camera wasn't at all allowed in a flight. But who cares to listen and remember the stupid and funky rules of the useless aviation people when you are lost in the arms of the beloved sky...the colour of the sky had turned beautiful...a riveting crimson gold..the plane kept tilting sideways to make it easire for the inner child of my heart to see her through my eyes wide spread...how I wished to be out there alone in that souless flight where everyday had turned blind since they could not see the beauty of the mothersky - she was up there in the sky spreading her wings only and only for me to return once more into those gentle laps to be nurtured forever..the best journey of my life on air...gave me the go ahead to just do it once and for all and made me realise that these precious moments in your life don't come every day...they come once to you and whisper the song of the unknown to open your eyes and senses to the beautiful world outside...feel the pulses within and lap it up all over yourself before it melts...

Let it flow like a candle in the wind...

When your mind keeps flowing...
Just let it pass through the eternal day like a candle in the wind...
Never try to hold it back to yourself..since She was never meant to be yours...She had to flow away....
--and fleet past you like a stray of light which never grew up in her mind....
The shadows of the distant storm gave you a lightning from the grazed sky.....and asked you to let go of her as you had kept your grip firm on her....
She doesn't belong to this eternal world...She is not ours...so can She never be yours...
dream her alive....and you shall never feel her absence since she was meant to be with you..
Just with your eyes wide shut and her soul kept at the hideous safe in your mind!

You are the only one I know....

You are not a beauty to me...but You are the seeker of my distant soul...
--have you ever touched the beauty of my inner self...no You have not..
It is only when you feel me with your eyes closed...You can touch my fragrance..my soul...and my spirit...
--which remains as the guiding source of llight in your life...
You seek me forever...I hide myself in those bushes....and give You glimpse of thy self
on those wintery nights...when you come galloping in a horse....
To take me away from all...
and shower me with the love of the beloved....
You are the only one I wait for...since You are the only one I know!

Dreams...Faith....Spirit of thy Soul...

Dreams of despair....touch of my faith.....the soul of my spirit....
--shall bloom out in the richness of the stark beauty of thy love....
Mild tenderness in those caring hands shall lead me to the path never traversed before...
Eyes closed with you...
--the feel of the eternal shall never leave a doubt in your mind because she has started to be with us...
The spirit is thus raised in your heart....
Feel the joy of the moment....
Aspire to reach the goldness in the dark shadows of your life....
Spread your wings with me...
Come lets fly to those distant lands where there would be just the two of us stepping on the first stone of the life's dream in the no man's land...
Come let's fly as the world seems to come to an end...
Come let us bend the rules to get the call of the soul....the wisdom of thy mind...
Let us behold the truth of the darkness to bloom out in full...
Come lets fly my child...Come lets fly....

Budhha & the Lotus Bloom...

Years of drudgery....months of agony.......weeks of despair......
--all turned black when I first smelled the colour of joy....
The day unfolded into a lotus bloom....
The Budhha in disguise held his head high and took me into his closet...
The tender touch of the beloved....the feel of the abode...
--turned special as both of us walked hand in hand by the river side where the calmness of the waterflow touched our hearts....
I was for once in love with the serenity of the place.....
....the leaves of fall
....the warmth of the spirit hold me once and for all-
Asked me would I be in unison forever...how could I behold the sky?
I just swept pass the breeze and lost myself in those shadowy stretch of the wild forest..
.... where the eternal beauty took me in her arms and left for the dreamland in the galactic ship of the spacewars...

Ignite the Fire within....

The imagery of my eye sees the fire of my inner soul caught in the worldweb of my thoughts!! Coming to the terms and conditions of this holistic world let me tell you all that this shot was taken while I was on a vacation to a place called Kalimpong, quite a surreal place to feel the ecstatic beauty of life and I was as usual lost in the heavenly abode of God's own creation. What a special feeling it was as I was walking down those hilly bends alongwith with my friend for life tugged along my neck. It was suddenly at a roadside juncture when I first experienced a cold feeling through my inner self, the forest by my side was speaking in volumes....cold blood of shiver flowing down my spine as I started marching ahead - it was then when I noticed the woods up in flames, cannot describe you the feeling of seeing the nature's balance suddenly dropping down the tilt. The fire was finally ignited within my self, the feeling of a strong pulse running down my whole body as if nature had gently touched me...the first touch of wilderness, the first stroke of love running down!

Frozen Ice of my distant heart...

The feelings are like the frozen ice of my distant heart...
The touch struck a chord within me....waiting for the joy....waiting for the moment...
--the day's beginning came to an end as darkness crept in through the farflung oceans....
....but out of the colour of black rose the smell of the joyous-
....and it is something which I shall forget never-ever!
Word seems to flow.....mind seems to flow....
---they were the only possessions I had, before I came into this world to smell its love....
But as the day showered in the light to make me think out to the loud...
.....reach out to the unknown!
Words seemed less.....the Mind turned unmindful
It is then when I first felt your absence...
....since you were not there to be with me at the time of my creation
The first touch of feeling special....the first touch of the unknown...The Touch of Thy Love...

The Rising Budhha...

This image was taken while I was on a vacation last year...once again to remind you all before leaving the HOLY ABODE OF GOD...i.e. My Home for the Journalism course at the ACJ. Me and my family had gone all the way to a place called LAVA in North Bengal from Kolkata by car - a journey to be enamoured and enjoyed throughout my life, a transition to an altogether different realm of my life. The whole idea of spirit as it is known to all had changed for me, once I stepped into the kingdom of Budhha - there was a spirit of Zen flowing by, reminiscing my childhood through the fragrant palm leaves of my inner soul, I kept walking on my own till I stopped before him when he was at a distance. Never did he notice me following in his footsteps but I could see him taking me away and away from all these worldly dreams where words have no meaning....people cannot hear anything since they fail to feel the beauty of life...the beauty of love...As those moments of silence were nearing an end I could hear the call of the wild....the eternity and the day gave me a call to keep him captured not in a wild cage but in my inner soul whom I still worship as the Little Budhha in the Rising....

Echoes of your childhood....

The river bends along the curve...and flows in a wind...
You know that the little bird still waits there in her perch....
--You sweep her through the wind and take her up in your lap...
She is child......my dear........She is child....
Hold her in your arms to smell her fragrance....
--- the fragrance of love....
---the fragrance of thy soul which was once lost in these greenway bushes....
They were returned to you today as a gift of your childhood…
The longing of being united with her comes back to you…
She is a child my dear…She is a child …
--as She comes back to you…

As night creeps in.....

This is the only time of the day when am in my own self....
– My core blooms out in the full... and I enjoy this silence around me...
Creepy sounds....weird fantasies...knitting the way to the kingdom of dreams...
The silence around me is like the silence of eternity....
.... the day in its bindings....stretches away to the farthest land..
The call of the wild reverberates in this ocean of love.....
Close your eyes and think about the river deep...
--you shall surely hear the sound of music...
-- the sound of your soul....
-- the sound of your true love....
The call of the child shall echo through your mind.....your pulse...
You shall feel it every now and then....just believe in me....thy soul...
Call out to the wild...reach out to the unknown and you shall know your path...
Close your eyes once and feel it with me.....my river....feel it with me....

Shadowy stretch of the far away land….

Everything that has a beginning has an end is what comes to my mind every now and then...
The shadowy streches of the far away distant land calling me to begin a new life with you as my one and only friend in those neverwinter nights...
Oh! what an immense joy in the heart to have gotten the oppurtunity to look at life in such a different way...
....Seems like the world has given me the eagle's eye to watch with the owl's mind ---

The Many Images of Myself...

This shot was taken a couple of days back when I was in New Market trying to catch some glimpses and moments of this city life burning like hell in the arms of the Sun God as I refer to this scorching heat out here mostly!

The time was close to dusk....Due to construction of a new pedestrian plaza..the roads of New Market at this time are always congested, and as I was trodding along I suddenly saw this lady walking past me looking at my lens while I was viewing her through the viewfinder..I saw a great chemistry of a rickshaw puller racing by and a woman focused in a direction looking at me like she was gazing through my lens into my soul, trying to look deep into this world full of silence...words were of no use at that point of tim...it was just the feeling and the thin line of relation that was needed then to be strewn forever to make a bonding come alive....

River flows across the bend….

The river should flow as and when the bend comes..
Why this twist and turn in your life should take away the mast from your hand??
Be not afraid...hold your head high...
Steer clear of all the dangers with the dagger given to you on a wintery night by the Lord of the land......
.....you shall surely bypass all the traverse...amidst the leaves spread in the red carpet garden!!

A Journey's End.....

This breathtaking shot...(according to me though!!) was taken at about 5:30 A.M. sharp when we all had gathered at the hotel rooftop to get a panoramic view of the Himalayan Peaks from a place called Gyalshing previously known as Geyzing in the western part of Sikkim....never did I know the truth that this shot is going to be my final journey towards the path of the profound ZEN peace which I have found in the fragrant palm leaves of my life....
There was a pindrop and paeceful silence all around the hills...the hills being the symbol of the universal mother stretching her arms out to me and welcoming all of us to get inside the kingdom of love and beauty...As I took out my camera the first specks of sunlight fell on the peaks and I went on taking shots of the....Today as I keep on scanning my eyes through these images...I see the land of peace returning back to me again and again....the Call of the Wild....the words of the beloved and her gentle touch is something I would want at every step of my life....

Neverwinter Nights....

Neverwinter nights always calls upon the thoughts of the Penchant beauty when she was on her way to the greenhold bushes.......
Once a little bud, now grew into a blooming quiver of gushes....
He was waiting there in those winterless cold nights when the angel of the farthest land came accross the wind and swept pass their lands to call her to get into the closet of sleeper's den.....
- Oh! that is the call of the Christmas, the call of the winter....
The carriage van goes amidst those dark alleys...leaves her in the middle
Strandled in the midst of those shady bushes she cries out in fervour and there he stands ...
With the mask of the zorro unmasked in front of her.....
Arms widespread to call her back....
Never did they come back to these candlelitten places but...
.... promised once to get united one day in the light of the eternal
Neverwinter nights called upon the Penchant thoughts.....
