"For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."

To Maa and Raghu...and the Piyas and Gitas......
Wishing you all a merry christmas all of you, raghu and the piyas and the gitas....loveliests.
At one end, u lie and speak to me of my pasts...having vanished with time. No contacts despite the keen eagerness in me to get in touch. I fail to locate you. I fail cos perhaps i no longer have the intent. I am still like the rock which gets impounded by the waves wants to fall apart and give in to the hits.
Yet my resistances is so intrinsic a part of me, that i fail to dissolve into ground. I wait for my deliverance.
To the piyas of hungry tide or the gitas of swades, the fighting women who forgetting they need a partner work for a cause. Passionately as caringly as a mother does trying to bring up a child. To you all i dedicate 2004 Christmas ....
Maybe you are not listening to me, maybe u r too far away, to even have an inkling that here is someone thinking of you.
But i do. I do remember you all, think about u all, wish well for u all.
Wish u a merry christmas darlings......and before i end, may the silent night dawn on you enlightenment and peace......
`thechild.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "

Mr Shetty in response to "Unnecessary Words"
Material world is immaterial to me
I console the soulless
Am selfish to selfless
'Cause I do not have selfness.
I console the soulless
Am selfish to selfless
'Cause I do not have selfness.
Unnecessary Words....
Unnecessary Words
Unnecessary Words they all are
When a child now grown meets a mother
She in expectation of the baby she once cuddled
Finding instead one who faces the world bare chest and eye to eye
Unnecessary Words they all are
When a love meets another when
At a corner of the world, Years down the line they meet
Life and eyes speaks everything that remained unspoken
Unnecessary words they all are
In the parents’ eyes holding a new born
Seeing the light of the world
Fruits of their unison to create a beautiful new world
Unnecessary words they all are
For the solitary rider who stopped at a wayside inn,
Shredded through a wild boar in one of the jungle nights
As he wades past a wide green field on a mild full-moon night
Unnecessary words they all are
For strangers in this world
Who exchange a known glance with an unknown eye
Without knowing if their will be a revisit
Unnecessary words they all are
As the corpse lies, eyes closed
Close ones crying around in bereavement
Or perhaps knowing that their end is inevitable too.
Silence is all I crave, words are all I abhor
Necessities are all I need, Wants I want to shun
Sleep is all I look forward to, walks I am tired of,
Where are you my world – that of Unnecessary words!

My Memories of Love will be of You.......
Perhaps Love Lyrics
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don`t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don`t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
These days in life...
Its a silent toil. Hopefully for Ithacas in future...heres a poem sent by a teacher from joka....lovely!!
Ithaca
When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path,
if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,
if you do not carry them within your soul,
if your soul does not set them up before you.
Pray that the road is long.
That the summer mornings are many, when,
with such pleasure, with such joy
you will enter ports seen for the first time;
stop at Phoenician markets,
and purchase fine merchandise,
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
and sensual perfumes of all kinds,
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
visit many Egyptian cities,
to learn and learn from scholars.
Always keep Ithaca in your mind.
To arrive there is your ultimate goal.
But do not hurry the voyage at all.
It is better to let it last for many years;
and to anchor at the island when you are old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.
Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
Without her you would have never set out on the road.
She has nothing more to give you.
And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.
Wise as you have become, with so much experience,
you must already have understood what Ithacas mean.
Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)
