Painting called life..

I sit by the sea, puzzled and disillusioned
Soft hues of red are painted across the sky
Little black birds are silhouetted against the sun
Roaring waves rise and fall with great ferociousness
It almost seems like an abstract painting on the canvas of life.
Alas, to my pained eyes, all of it is nothing more than a blur..

The shades of life appear to be mere blobs,
Yet, deep down I know there is much more than meets the eye.
My mind wanders, it wanders with the wind,
Traveling to distant places and blurred faces.
Almost threatening to send me reeling on a wave of emotion.
And too afraid to ask questions,
I try to cage it, I try to shut out the thoughts.

But my mind is already on a flight of imagination,
Along with the birds, aiming for the horizon and beyond
I'm shaken, I'm stirred
Yet, a fire from within overpowers the cold breeze
It ignites a dream which had been hidden for too long,
It warms the heart which had been broken too many times.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me is more than a blur,
The Gifts of Nature spring to life 
My heart plunges into the sea of love,creating a stir 
And dumps its worries and regrets in the water.

I get up and create a path of my own in the sand,
My body is here, but my mind is in a distant land.
There seems to be a presence beside me, lending me his hand,
With a new found self-belief, I get ready to give everything life demands.

Japan tragedy.. :(

Awful pictures of devastation..
Earthquake, tsunami and now nuclear disaster.. Everyday it's a new story in the newspapers, everyday a new and harder day for the people in Japan. My heart cries when I see the pictures.. And yet I know I'm not the only one. There is this strange twist in my heart.. and I just want to go to Japan and help the people.. Be Superhero for a day. Because Japan right now needs a superhero.. and they have them, right amongst their citizens.
65 years ago, when Nagasaki and Hiroshima were almost bombed out of existence , the country got together and worked on a brighter future. Today , they are one of the most technology-advanced and economically developed country. Each citizen has worked , with discipline and perseverance to get the country to the place it has occupied today.
It's almost unreal to see it all go down the drain..literally. The places that were brimming with life and people, are suddenly turned into a mass burial. It just proves one thing , man CANNOT tame nature, no matter how advanced and powerful they pretend to be. I wonder if God up there is laughing or crying.. or wondering whether man will learn or not. But Nature has funny ways of getting back at man. :|
Yet, there is a belief inside me. That this is not the end. Man has always got back on his feet, and the people of Japan will rebuild the country.. Maybe in 10 months or 10 years.. But it will happen. But they need to realize that Nature too gives them only what  they give to Nature.
The sooner they realize, the better.
PS : Please do your bit to help the people in Japan. It's one world . If nothing else, just take time out and say a silent prayer. You never know, how much they'd be appreciated. :)

I don't know why you say goodbye..

I sit in front of my computer screen, staring at my friend's profile . Going through ALL our pictures and being in a state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.. Funny things, memories. There is this book given by her on my last birthday which just caught my eye, and I think I dropped a tear as I read her message on the first page.. I hadn't read this book yet, but today I sit and read it. I don't know , it just makes me feel she is still here..It's hard, isn't it. To let someone go just when you begin to realize they mean the world to you.. I wonder if she is sitting somewhere, reading our messages and thinking about the exact same thing. Actually, I have a feeling she is. 
My mom is telling me how this is life, and well people come into our lives and they go. Some stay for a minute, others a lifetime. But we have to part with everyone.Yet it's hard.. Now that I think about the times spent with her, the times I should have been more affectionate, the times I shouldn't have taken her for granted, all I want to do is rewind the time.. And go back to our happy world. It's funny. Everything is just the same, and yet it's so different .. just because of one person. I'm writing this because each one of us has had an experience like this, or will surely have later. 
She may have gone, but the distance just seems to strengthen our friendship. I know I can't rewind the time, but I can surely start today and make a better future. 10 years later, maybe her face will fade away with time.. but her memories will always be locked up in my heart. The ever smiling face will bring me up when I'm feeling down and I'll carry on.. with old memories and new memories..The one I'm writing this for, I just want to say,I love you and you'll always be in my heart..:) 

Liverpool FC

6.3.2011 - Dirk Kuyt hatrick  against Manchester United. Glory days return to Anfield.

When you walk through a storm,

Hold your head up high,

And don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of a storm,

There's a golden sky,

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,

Walk on through the rain,

Though your dreams be tossed and blown,

Walk on, walk on,

With hope in your heart,

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone...

There is not one club so united with the fans, there is not one club with an anthem like "You'll Never Walk Alone". It is the most successful club in European Football history with 18 domestic titles, 7 FA cups. And it's on the way back to glory.!!! For all those people who stopped believing, for all those people who thought Liverpool will never be the same again, I say "IN YOUR FACE!!"

Yes, the past 18 months may have been possibly the worst times in the club's history, but the club-the fans, the players- they will walk through the storm, holding their head high, and yes, the light at the end of the tunnel is not too far. We've done it against Chelsea, We've done it against Manchester United. We may not be in the title contention, but if we are capable of coming back from the relegation to no.6 (and will go higher) , we're very much capable of winning the title next time. 

I have faith in each player, each staff , Kenny Dalglish and the fans . At this club, no one will ever walk alone.

GO LIVERPOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

Fernando Torres ..

Just makes me cry.. Fernando Torres somehow BELONGED to Anfield. Seeing him in blue will never be the same as seeing him in Red. Somehow, I wont be able to scream my lungs out when he scores for Chelsea.. But yes,I will always love him. .and I'll hope wherever he goes, whatever he does, he gets all the happiness in the world which he fully deserves. And he'll never ever walk alone. His true fans will never let him. :') <3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG_Du-Bo-7k
the video has not made by me, but i just love it, because atlast someone is giving him a truly deserved loving farewell rather than burning his jersey. Yes, he was WORSHIPED at Liverpool. The fans saw him as a living idol.. who would always be loyal to the club and spend all his years achieving new goals for the club. It does hurt, as I was one of them. And one corner of my heart, still wants him to return to Liverpool , someday. But well , nobody's perfect right? And yet , somehow, when I see him smile and when I see him celebrating his goals at Liverpool , everything seems almost perfect !
I hope Chelsea treat him well, though they cannot give him more than Liverpool. But I hope Torres is successful in giving Chelsea more than he could give Liverpool.
