The scarf has been picked up..

The scarf has been picked up...
Black and White, two shades of life, alive and dead,

It's adorned with fondness...

Rattled, as it left its resting place, from a quiet repose to an airless room.
Now regretful, with its utter silence.

Resting in a corner, never washed, rife with "red apple orchards" of emotions, preserved like - jam.
In essence a remnant of a burning man.

Quiet, in only his silence,
His delicate relics now rest with us.

A frame untouched by time, a mirror cracked by distance, a sharp reaper - enlivened by the new master's touch - whom it will serve from now.

The care, the regret, the imminent anger, the cloud burst, the regard, the emotion,
They have all travelled in the personal artifacts and now rest heavy in our hand.

Sumbal is far, yet - a feather touch away.
Memories will wait for another day.

Marketing ka Halwa

Har admi marketing ka halwa bana ke dusre ke halak mein dale ja raha hae … Bura haal hae… Marketing is certainly not what it wanted to be, today if you measure marketing on its own brand prism, it would indeed lie defeated on all counts. Every 1 person enterprise has a marketing budget these days, translated as money spent on consumer nuisance and harassment. As if it’s not boring enough to be serenaded by Irfan’s dull as ditch water middle aged act every few minutes on TV, courtesy Vodafone, we have to bear inane ads linking things like soap with Vishwas and Bharosa. What the hell has bharosa got to do with a standard consumer durable like soap?? Is the emotional pull even required?? I am quite happy if my soap smells good .. and thank god for that. Does a consumer really buy more if an Aggarbatti promises to invoke god? Or if a Galaxy tab can help sketch some man with a tap running on his head? Does it all really account to more sales or just more NOISE? Leave apart the insaneness of

an equal balance

im the new sms, im the unplucked rose, im the rush of adrenalin, im that drop of prose, im the bride of desire, im the unbridled fire, im the liberal oxygen, im the favourite season, im that love you never saw, far away when i raised the sos, the smoke which disappeared, leaving its burnt hut splinterless, im not the ship you ride in high tide, but im an equal balance if you believe in the divide.

jargon

Respect me for my knowledge and not for my age .... is that what most of us say.. all the time secretly wishing and hoping for admirers ..??... Life has made me this way ... do we always blame life and its many travestys to be the cause of our selfishness , our reserve and our ascerbity ???...... I dont give free advice .. is this the way we want our ego to be satiated and our words to be valued ..???? lets do it another day .. is this the way we ward of challenges and stick to our homegrounds ??? When we want our juniors to challenge us , to speak out , are we willing to listen to them ..??.. or change ???... or are these mere words meant to be repeated in every company meeting ..... Can i stop being CEO for a change ???....
