Pleasures of doing nothing !!!!!

Pleasures of doing nothing after the hustle, bustle and the noise of the day!!!!
As the lazy malingering day swiftly loses itself into the warm embrace of the dusky evening,
amidst the twittering birds and blushing sky on my desolate terrace  ,
                                                                                                     I look on!!!!

As the eyes rivet to the  denizens of the sky, kites, dancing , bathed in Sunlight,

one moment flying away, next - rushing into an embrace, dancing on the strings of love
amidst the molten gold and the sleepy sky on my desolate terrace,
                                                                                                     I look on!!!!


 As the sun spies through the half-shut eyes of the evening upon the kites in the sky-you and I

silhouettes dark one moment,next pirouettes glazed, shadows melting, merging, passions ablaze
amidst fragrant breeze and naughty sky on my desolate terrace,
                                                                                                      I look on!!!!

As the evening returns into the restful embrace of the night under the sieved canopy dark

myriads of blessings descend through the channels of shimmering slivers of lights we call stars,
amidst silvery night and the blissful sky on my desolate terrace,
                                                                                                      I look on!!!!

CLEAVAGE CAVEAT


CLEAVAGE CAVEAT-The recent coverage of cleavage has cleaved the world into two camps-One that believes that the lady in question meant business and hence took the bull by its horns-and the other-that blames it on Business that she stirred a storm in a teacup and deliberately courted controversy for profit. The gutsy lady has gumption enough to stand up for herself and doesn’t need a spokesperson. The lady has kept up the heat and the social media, the Glitterati, the Twiteratti, the Paparazzi and even the Literatti have been sucked into the vortex. While India celebrates with pride the success of it’s MARS mission in distant SPACE, by INDIAN SCIENTISTS, many of whom are WOMEN, nearer home, the lack of respect for women and their objectification MARS the domestic SPACE, and leaves no cause for CELEBRATION. Trail blazing the issue that has now shamed India beyond its shores too …it’s time to take the lady’s word seriously—when she questions the camera being partial to female anatomy and sparing the male. In the wake of our honorable Prime Minister's call for “CLEAN INDIA” the camera should exercise parity in its treatment of men and women. IN OUR COUNTRY WHERE WOMEN ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR THEIR CONTROL OVER THEIR VAGINA, THEY SEEM TO EXERCISE BETTER CONTROL OVER THEIR BLADDER THAN MEN.In my day long visit to Delhi today I came across this poster adorning the street corners very prominently . The candid camera, with its love for human anatomy should train on Men so as to train them not to urinate in public. Men use public spaces as “MUC” “Men’s Urinating Centers” and not a single alley, street or ever market place is spared. Euphemism is deliberately shunned here. With the help of shutterbugs, we will be able to reclaim our alleys, streets corners and by lanes and market places. Then, perhaps our girls , women and children will be able to move about in a healthier environment and without Embarrassment!!
