A POEM BY RABINDRANATH TAGORE

Lips’ language to lips’ ears,

Two drinking each other’s heart, it seems.

Two roving loves who have left home,

pilgrims to the confluence of lips.
Two waves rise by the law of love

to break and die on two sets of lips.
Two wild desires craving each other,

meet at last at the body’s limits.
Love’s writing a song in dainty letters,

layers of kiss-calligraphy on lips.
Plucking flowers from two sets of lips

perhaps to thread them into a chain later.

This sweet union of lips is the

red marriage-bed of a pair of smiles.

TEMPORARY TATTOOS

Temporary tattoos cost anything around 350 to 2000 of one colour. And it can last about 1 to 6 months depending on the ink used. I always wanted to get one on me. But spending 500 bucks seemed too much when I used my brains.
I came up with an alternative – use HAIR DYE. I used Godrej. Buy the small sachet which costs only Rs 8. Can you see the huge difference?
Make a thick paste. Draw an outline with pen. Here is a demo.

Now fill it with the paste that you have just made.

Complete the drawing and colouring by evening and keep it whole night. Next morning, wash it off with water. And there you go… you have got your first tattoo!

If you are wondering if it’s alright to get some permanent tattoo, then must probably try it first on a temporary basis. Coz if you don’t like what you have inked on your body that is going to last forever, you’ll regret it everytime you see it!
You can google simple tattoo designs.
I have used only a pencil and a 0.5 pen to do this -

Enjoy the endless possibilities of tattooing!

The Moment You Start Living For Others…

We are the creators of our own destiny. But isn’t that partly true? I always liked riding my bike with full throttle for long distances. Did late night parties and all such sorts of stuff.

The moment you start living for others, everything changes. You change. The biker boy becomes a coward! Put aside all your ego and attitude towards life. We become a little man. Worrying about possibly everything. Scared to face the danger or take the smallest of all risks. Because you start to care too much about others. Might be we never wanted to talk with someone because we think or rather we know that that someone is not at all a good person, but we have to. And we do. We have to change our views about that person no matter who or how that person is. Surely the ugly side of starting to live for others.

For once you should try to become an altruist rather than an egoist. Everything changes – the way you think and the way you act and the way you see. What is so good about living for others? It’s HAPPINESS! The happiness you can feel. And the happiness you wished you gave to others all your life but couldn’t only because you did not know where to begin or how. The joy your friends get for what you do for them. The pride that your parents walk with only because you have proved to be an ideal son. Of course we kill our likes and dislikes. But isn’t it worth for a healthy happy life? After all, at some point or the other, we start living for others. Then, why not start at this very moment?

What is Life?

What is life really about? Studying for consecutive 20 years of your life and then become a slave to some corporates? Or is it finding the love that you can only believe to exist in some person who, unfortunately, is very hard to find? Or is it about doing your duties – the duty of being a good son, then the duty of a good brother, a good husband, parent and might be a good grand parent as well? Do you feel sometimes that you had some purpose in your life and you are yet wondering what that might be? Or is it about working hard all your life and then finally one day, all the ones you loved are gone and you are left with nothing but the money that never made you think who brought real colors to your life? Or is life about accepting for what comes our way and blame the Gods to have written such a bad prophecy for us?

Might be life is about most of these things or none of it at all. We try to figure it out for our lifetime. But, at the end of the day, life is really about UNPREDICTABILITY!
