I sit by a waterfall
Refreshed and elated
By the lemony sweet newness
That comes up to greet me
After water meets stone
And a random spray leaps in joy
With wetness and life
Drenching my exhilarated soul
Then the eyes, they open
To a vision of illusory grandeur
The King is on his throne
He, the lord of nothingness
His empire weighed down and numbed
By the repercussion and the sullenness
Of a dreary existence
And biting bytes of the executive kind
The mind should now shut up and get back to work
It Feels Good To Write A Song and other feelings

sounds like a dream or a thought in the middle o f work:P
surprising how boredom can enhance someone's creativity and give them fodder to write!
And a random spray leaps in joy
With wetness and life
-loved these lines!
oh,i dint understnd the "lemony"sweet newness!cn u xplain..
@ Manisha
Its the result of day dreaming through a tough-work-day break and running back to the desk to write it down and forgetting most of the original thought and investing fifteen minutes in fresh rethinking.
And boredom has always inspired me :D
Lemony sweet newness is how I, in my weird mind, visualize freshness... I watched too many Lirril ads and drank copious quantities of lemonade in my childhood... In my mind... I flux them together to create and taste freshness... creative liberty...
Now am I making any sense :-(
hahaha...really liril ads??? is that why the water fall has a mention here!!!
Of course... my life is inspired by Liril ads ...
:D
i thot ur "posts" were inspired!! i didnt know ur "life" was too!! gosh..thats scary....liril:P....where's preity zinta then!
@ Manisha
LOL
She is having a shower now... does this all the time... made me build a waterfall at home, you know...
was this after downloading the song?? lighthearted and brisk. has to be a slack day at work.
You should be a scuba instructor or a lifeguard at a beach. Dreams can come true ;)
Tch tch tch..is this wat some ppl do when they pretend to wrk?
If you ask me, I think you fell asleep in your water glass...
"back biting bytes"
you did funny meandering mind,
me laugh too much
ha ha
:D
now how about that crusade?
you've kind of made the first attack
and i've responded in kind
manisha, however *tra la la la la* ;)
@ Tongue
Slack day??? Anything but that... and this was the result of frustration
:-)
@ Atrisa
How I wish... Oh how I wish...
@ Shanu
No pretensions... the meandering mind had to vent to get back focus... where else but the blog :-)
@ Meghana
LOL
Oh Yeah... and wasn't it fun... with my tie and without a mask...
I think I understand why Atrisa wants me to be a scuba instructor...
But what crusade... which attack... are we trying to find the holy grail here?? DUH... enlighten.. pleej
Whoa!
Actually, you are a write poems better than you write your regular posts, and you write the best regular posts (Promise!)
"And biting bytes of the executive kind "
This was the best line of the poem!

Cheers!
P.S.: Missed your last post, will read it by tomorrow!

my fav lines
Newness- lemony sweet..
Spray - 'Leaping in joy...
WOWOWOWOW.. each of your brain cells are creative...!! If boredom can create this, what would a poetic mood create?
@ Pawan
What is shocking mate.. you write well and I like reading your blog.... cant leave someone as creative out of my blog roll now, Can I
Ooooo... ok... that crusade... i checked her blog now...
No ya... cant lead a crusade against ya...

@ Choco

Nice to see your mind meandering too...
And the comment...
That's autobiographical ain't it... is that how you found your very own... 'air freshener'... in Kolkata... in the search for sweetness... taste bhi kiya tha kya... air freshner??? Yucck
@ Shanu
Chamcheee... full chamach...
:D
@ Choco again
Scope kya madam.. blog aapka hai...

Beautiful beautiful, these lines and sad too.

*mind shuts up and then DOWN as it gets back to work :|
whenever i read poetry, some song pops up in my mind (that's actually when i lose focus somewhere in between!) ;)
song 4 the post:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
long time since i heard it...coldplay here i come!!! :D:D
@ Shamanth

@ Buttercup...
Cool mate... enjoy yourself and keep posting on your adventures on the campus and the city :)
Totally reminded me of my months as an intern. Stultifying, mind numbing boredom, for which blogging was the only respite. All my posts during summer were written in office. :)
@ Arslan
