Funny - little - Lift....

Posted by Rajashree - 0 comments

a little lift that acts funny?? No... this ain't no time for funny lift fictions (though this lift sure does act funny at times, or rather strange... i should stop beating around the bushes... atleast here, Today!!)
This post is about funny little conversations that happen inside a considerably large lift (one that can hold 26 persons on god knows what weight would fall into this category??)
I study in PSG, yeah a couple of software courses and i'm one of the luckiest i could enter into THE (not any random) engineering college (being an arts student pursuing design).
These guys have a lift at the Y block, the 3rd floor is where my class is. And its practically 'tough' (not impossible) to climp all the way to the 3rd floor avoiding all the wary glances of the nerds and the wanna be guys and girls and their 'butler' ingileess (english as they say it) and me being someone who doesn't look familiar, and no, i can't be a fresher! And so I prefer the lift, and the conversation of the students which probably had started when the lecturer went off or while waiting for the Lift would continue inside the lift. The ones who got in at the 3rd floor have a topic running and the ones that join from the second have different ones and in addition to the ones that join from the first year, Sometimes one could make out stories out of the words that come out from differnt gangs and that could possible turn out to be what one could term as a perverse storyteller..!!
This being the only little enjoyment at this point of time... how could one not laugh when you are at the groundfloor and the people think... who is this nutcrak??

Shine on Ganesh Chaturthi....

Ganesh, a God who is considered the Prime and who is almost loved by every hindu kid. It was His day yesterday and he enlightened me a bit on his daily basis..

There was a Thought on my head, I don't know what brought it up. Was that the speech By Shri. Arun Madhavan, a spiritual teacher, singer and author ? or was it the mood of the Ganesh Chaturthi. Whatever was the reason, The finding was enough to astonish me.



In Hinduism, It is considered whatever comes from the 5 elements (earth, fire, water, sky, air) to us is being taken back by them at some point of time. That is what our ancestors have been believing for the past God knows how many decades. Thats the reason why we make our Ganesha idols out of mud, clay which is from the earth and offer it flower and perform puja and send it back to the earth from where it came from.(courtesy : Arunji)

This thought suddenly took me to the past where i remembered the words of H. W. Longfellow, The Psalm of life, " Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul." Means the Genesis had actually mentioned the same, what goes around comes around. The karma of the dust, the Earth!

On the other hand, Ganesha is portrayed as being the "nirvikalp, Nirakar...."- meaning the formless and the one that is beyond atributes and wishes of the earthly life. Which is nothing but what the Islam preaches as the "One Divinity - ALLAH" (courtesy : Arunji)

Waiting, yes waiting for him to come,
We came all the way from home
To spend a little few minutes
With the man who changed our lives
Who we owe until the end
End of not just our lives, its more.
May be the end of the world, perhaps!

Guruji, Guruji, everyone’s mind heart and soul
Echoes the same thing, their eyes fixed
On the road where the vehicles never stop
Every time a luxury car crosses
Adrenaline shoots up and until the tip of my fingers
On which lay my camera, waiting
Waiting to snap shot a moment, a proof,
I was close to him, a prestige to one’s ego!

Still waiting, my feet conflicting with my will
I’ll wait and take pictures, and won’t I?
Won’t I ever give this pain a damn?
The fight goes on and on
Thoughts gush in waves, I know they’re unwanted.
My heart wants to comment on my neighbours’ outfit
No! I shush it... There is no time to think crap.
I say, “Concentrate, concentrate, dear mind...
One second missed is a huge leap...”
“Yes” my mind replies, “I’m trying”
After all, all I need is to.... Talk?
Nope, all I need is to just see him,
Click a picture of him, a masterpiece?
No, who wants a masterpiece, that’s just for professionals,
All I have to do is catch his smile,
Or giving me a glimpse, an eye contact,
Or just a half profile face at the least.
And what do I need for that?
Luck? A bit of blessings or perhaps more blessings,
Who needs luck when you are in the premise?
The premise of divine presence.
