On a hyper active day at office - during last week, unable to sleep even after reaching home, I wrote these poems extempore sitting at the open terrace of my home at midnight.....!!
It is quite long that I have touched my diary which used to bear my musings on most of the days particularly when I enjoyed the day. This first poem got triggered with a realization that I had not touched my diary for more than a month now....!! Then, I impulsively picked it up and penned down this poem.
Well, the starting lines may appear bit boastful at the first sight.... I dont mean - in any way - reaching of any "peak" at office or personal life when I am giving the example of trekking.....!! Its just that I beginning to realize these days that with any amount of words we cannot really express ourselves fully well. I just mean that my feeling about touching my own saturation point of word - gloating !!
Without much efforts, I am noticing these days, that I am able to speak simple sentences consciously breaking down the complex / compound sentences that my mind forms by default....!! When I utter the key words of my message, I consciously ensure that I pronounce it with a stress to make the listener mean what I mean. In more than one occassion I have realised in the past couple of months that this method of conscious speaking works much effective than my earlier style of downpouring of words.....!!
There are too many meetings at office and it is so good that I am stumbling at the truths about communication just when I need them most...!! Before I start speaking in the meeting, I consciously enjoy the stillness of my own mind these days which takes care of not just intensity during the meeting but also the effectiveness / purpose of the discussion.
Please go ahead..
Yours.....

Dear,
ReplyDeletea) I am of the view that its high time that the tags "My latest poem" should go. It becomes irrelevant and insignificat when I try to read your old poems. "Vara Kavi"-kku ugandhadhu alla.
b) I think an extra line in between paragraphs would do a world of good. If you read your "Ayan" poem prelude where I reformatted the paragraphs and any of your other preludes, you will understand how easier it is to read when we have an extra line space in between.
c) A good poem. Somehow, I have not taken to this diary writing habits because, I do have doubts whether we ever refer it at all. May be when we get old it would make an interesting reading - right? Maybe you are sort who take some utility out of it - but, I am not of that type. "kal vettu" is always meant for next generation - right?
d) "Verumayudan Kootani" - would it roughly translate to "Association with Nothing" ?? Philosophy of Nothingness ?? Emptiness ?? The questions were really to probe you - nevertheless, I really liked this poem.
e) Do you now realise why I never write about my experience - "I and my brain are always associated with Nothing" - Ha Ha Ha - Vidu - Oodu - Jooot. :)
