Forbidden Fuit

A naive yet honest attempt at chopping sentences shorter, maneuvering rules of grammar and sticking to a rhyme scheme.

Yes its a poem, an almost accurate Sonnet.

Well the accuracy depends on how you perceive the word ‘almost’.

For better or worse, we’re doing what we’re ‘supposed to’.

Doing what we do, we’ve come far from being what we were.

Far from our purpose.

Sounds better when it rhymes …

High price we pay for her curiosity,

Or so does legend go.

Had we been content without it?

I guess we’ll never know.

Ignorance, a blissful friend,

Wisdom is a worthy foe.

Did pensive Isaac see it coming?

I guess we’ll never know.

Hate, hunger and felony,

Superior species spread.

In the Garden of Eden,

Morals barter bread.

Do we serve a higher purpose?

Do we run our realm?

Or are we mere fireflies?

I guess we’ll never know.

Lunatic by Choice

Like a pearl in the obscure sky, like a an assassin behind cloudy curtains, she stares knowingly at planet earth.

They named her after a princess, Luna of Titan heritage. Ambiguous, her intentions are. She moves in a constant silence around us and depicts phases of enormous beauty. She does have her lovers, ardent ones.

Being a lunatic is not easy. Loons, they’re  more often jargon-ed. The Sun, they say brings out the best in you, and Moon, well, not quite. I’m sure bats, owls and werewolves disagree.

In a lingua-puristic prism, Sol and Luna find equal veneration.

Do we have celestial biases? Do we choose our favorite planets? Or wait, it is the planets that choose us.

The amount of choice we have should be  measured in terms of how often we can ask the Moon to stop revolving or ask the Sun to rise an hour late…. Still counting ? !

Sir Issac Newton had it right about gravity, Earth Sucks

In other Words…. (play video)

Things come. Some stay. Some go. Some come back.

When they come back, they are better, well Terminator 3 is an exception

Its absolutely evolutionary. Evolution is absolute.

Saying that we’re back would be cliche. Saying that we’re evolving would be judgemental.

Lets just say, we’re here to stay.

L i n g u a p u r a explores language as a device to render the vibrations of the human mind into tangible images. Symbols are processed by the human brain and converted into patterns synchronous to the vibrations of the source.

Language is the social fabric that we dwell in, yet it so transparent, so invisible.

Symbols, glyphs, paintings, music, drama, literature are all soaked in language of one variant or another.

There is however, a language that subsumes the hues of all forms of expression.

It is the language of the Soul.

It is the lingua franca of the Universe.

It is lingua pura.

The fantasy of a British Intelligence spy by a British secret service agent, yes thats what ‘James Bond’ is all about. Ian Fleming, a failure at many trades including stock-broking, banking and even gambling completed his missing self into a fictional character that would change the image of ‘spies’ forever.

Fleming set apart from the World War II nihilism and spawned a new era in writing. This also marked the birth of a new ‘popular culture’ and vast filming canvas. The first movie, Dr.NO hit the silver screen in 1962 and in less than four and a half decades the twenty first movie ‘Casino Royale’ was released.

The genius of Fleming is such that, 007(tm) is a brand name and merchandises anything from playing cards to jawdropping mean machines. He has contributed to the longest and most succesful(volume) sequel in the history of hollywood. For an actor, to be selected as James Bond, is a magic-potion to stardom. Although, the character’s attitude towards women is tainted, nonetheless, hoards of femme fatales are bond maniacs. Also, starring as ‘bond-girl’ is no less than stairway to red-carpet haven.

Some speculate Bond to be a self-potrait of Ian Fleming, but the life of this spy is very different from the author’s.

Well no one really knows the secret behind the mask of Fleming, but if you ask him, he’d rather say: “If I tell you, I’ll have to kill you.” (…music plays)
