Heights of Revolution

When I was a kid,
I remember studying about green revolution and how it bought about a vast change in the way crops were cultivated
Now recently Idea people launched an ad. Its about going mobile - going green.
For those of you who have no idea what idea is, heres what the ad suggests -
'Stop using paper, use mobiles instead of wasting paper and thus save trees.'
This doesn't sound bad though I doubt if the solution is effective.
Firstly, using mobiles instead of paper means discharging the battery of the mobiles.
This means more power consumption, which leads to usage of both renewable and non-renewable resourses.
Which means more pollution. Though typing a document/email in computer instead of writing on paper saves both time and paper, I still feel that the 'idea' has a defect.
The last time I went to my relatives place, all my paternal relatives had a get-together.
And one of them happened to say, 'I love plants. I enjoyed my childhood by spending most of the time in fields and gardens. I have a goal. I want to show my son a mango garden before he is done with his schooling'
OK, I know I ran a little off topic, but heres what I wanted to share.
I hope atleast some of you know about facebook (a social networking website) and the games (such as farmville, mafia wars) which are popular on it.
Again, for those of you who don't know, farmville is about maintaining an online farm which includes activities like cultivating crops, growing trees, maintaing poultry etc
I have seen people playing this game to such extent that they force their friends to start playing the game (or atleast create an account in it) and add them as friends, so that they can use extra benefits in the game and get to the next level more swiftly.
And some play games like punching/slapping someone, doing pull ups/push ups etc.
One day I literally started rolling on the floor laughing my guts out when I saw my roommate doing the following stunt -
He was lying down on the bed comfortably and staring at the laptop's monitor playing a game which looked like a running race in Olympics.
I hope you got my point.
These games avert many people from their regular hobbies, physical exercises or any other productive activities which benefit their physical and mental health.
How many of you stopped or reduced activities such as - playing your guitar/violin; going on evening walks; enjoying the fresh air outdoors; games like football, badminton etc; drawing/sketching; gardening; photography; after getting a PC/laptop or an internet connection? And how many of you got bored of getting bored?
The weight you put on after reducing outdoor activity takes on your nerves every time you take a look at yourself. Doesn't it?
Think about it. Your PC, fan/AC, internet server etc all run on power. Shutting them down for sometime wont hurt.
I am sure getting back to old hobbies in this short while makes you much more happy :)

Hapless Hope

I know that you are there
I know that you are listening
you are aware that I am thinking about you
How can you be so harsh to me?
I know that you are watching my every action
But still why this indifference?
I sent you so many messages. My sincere thanks, deepest apologies...what not?
You receive each and every one of those.
Yet you don't respond
What all did I ask you?
Just one favour!
And you still ignore it as if you want me to wait?
Is that your test for my patience?
You know how much it hurts to wait. Don't you?
I know that I am pestering you too much of late
But what to do? I am just any other guy
You seem to enjoy watching this hapless being
And yet you are invaluable and get high attention
Hope is the only thing that fetches you the respect
No wonder so many are afraid of you!
And very few like you from the bottom of their hearts.
What is it that makes you so popular?
Fear? Love? Or the deadly combination of both?
Probably this combination makes you unique!
And maybe that's why you are called GOD!!

Uprooted

The seed of love came flying to me and landed on my heart
It grew rapidly as a big tree spreading joy in my life
Then one day, it was forced out...
My life couldn't resist the very thought ...
My heart was appalled
With much effort, the tree was rooted out
Only then I saw..
that the roots got penetrated deep into the heart...co-existing peacefully until then
But the moment it was taken out, the heart looked deserted
It seemed sad and wailing
The tears of blood came out from all the pores made by the roots
Then I wondered... 'Will it ever stop wailing? Will it ever heal?'
Only time can answer!!

Sketch - 2

Another sunday... another sketch :)













A little distorted. But, a rose is a rose :D

Made this on 10/1/10 (Huh? The date is so cool :P )

Sketch

New year, new beginning.
Glad that I got back to drawing :)
Held the pencil on a plain paper after years and I think the results aren't that bad :D

French Toast :D

Today we decided to cook the breakfast. We brought everything thats needed to prepare French Toast.
It came out really well and tasted actually like French toast :P
I mean, it tasted awesome.
Reminded me of the days I used to eat the ones prepared by my mom.
Come to think of it, I wondered which ones would taste more delicious. The ones cooked by me or mom?
Of course the ones made my mom!!
The answer, in my opinion, lies not in the recipe. Nor in the process.
But the person who cooks for you. With how much love the food is prepared :)
If the person who cooks for you loves you more than yourself, then the food tastes like heaven!
So, all the cuisines made by mom are unbeatable :D

Love you mom :)
