Life, Musings, Misadventures, Epiphanies by Arun Raj

Each time I attend a marriage ceremony an hear the vows of commitment, surrender and eternal love, I am only confused further. I cannot help but laugh at my own naivety, at a point in my life, a while back where I thought I was ready for marriage :P I then look at the faces of the bride and groom and I wish to get into that sacred knot myself. But the fear of giving myself completely unto someone then strikes me inadvertently as a sense of losing myself. They say that guys generally tend to have this sense of relinquishing control before marriage and there are a good number of movies too that present this state of mind of men like 'Pyaar Ke Side Effects' for example :) I can then only honestly, go hats off to these people who commit for a lifetime and wish them happiness throughout their married lives and wish that I too get somebody I could relinquish control to - unreasoned. Love, Marriage & Happiness :) Wow ! Wishing a happy married life to a dear friends - Kannan &...

Why did I feel that? I have always felt that people are inherently good. I truly and deeply believe, there is somewhere deep inside them a lost innocence and beauty, as if a new born baby - peaceful, naive and calm. A state where doubts, fears, worries & discontent dissolves into inexistence. Actions here are not influenced or intimidated into being, they are but following a natural course of life's happenings. Abstract and confusing is it? Yes, because you may feel you have not felt this exact state or will never be able to feel it. But you may not be correct in presuming that fact. Notice and observe the precise moments before you drift into deep sleep after a day of hard work. When all sounds around you, however disturbing they may be, would not be able to upset your tired drowsy eyes shutting down. Notice that peaceful moment when you wake up early in the morning as the sun rises and a gleaming ray breaks through and pierces your eyelids as if a blessing in disguise. You fe...

I wish for you today - The sun shines  Brighter for you, unlike any other day - before today.  With harps of hope strumming to odes  Of certain times of love & happiness ahead. I wish for you today - A friend long lost, Shall come back; to your surprise and heartfelt elation.  And bring back those memories of summer days, When you shared a cool lemonade or two. I wish for you today - Strangers that smile Unreasoned & unfettered. Let the birds & passer-by's  Sing for you unbound; expressing their joyful excitement  With placid thoughts in faith of our silent lord - almighty. I wish for you today - A cup of tea; You could sip by a placid street; that flatters your senses To an instant churn of dancing temptations.  I wish you a sip –a stolen moment, with you and yourself. I wish for you today – A satisfying day; as it ends Full of wishes fulfilled. A day as it ends in the light  Of a starlit sky Where dreams are only reality doused  In vivid colors, onto the canvas of lif...

In an attempt to  blend poetry through typo and art digitally and through canvas into a blend that let you truly enjoy the expression. This is my first attempt. Am considering working on more of these :) May be someday I will have a bunch of these selling out :P
