City of Angles

Suddenly the straight roads take a turn that’s not right. And you are left alone. In a lurch. The life that was hitherto simple and sober starts to turn in all angles. Which again, are not right. Everything… every event starts having an undercurrent of something deeper… maybe darker… and you wonder whether to let it be… or work it out. And either way you know you’re in for a gamble. What do you do now?
By now the innocent smile starts to curve in a way it never did. And you start being proud of your hyde-signs. And the potion that the doctor gives you turns the tide to the higher side. And it’s happening everywhere. Things move fast and randomly and yet fall into place. Only the place isn’t right either. Because now, it’s meaning has changed. So has the context.
The fire has been lit. And now it doesn’t matter who did it. And you aren’t a firefighter either. Now, what do you do? There’s no turning back. Life is a one-way road, remember? Do you fight and find your way back through this maze of right and wrong, good, bad and ugly? Or have you been converted to a permanent denizen of this place? Do you wake up and see the light? Or do you continue to sleep coz the thrill of the dream has you completely engulfed in it? Or do you wake up and close your eyes, and pretend to pretend you never saw it all?

There is life on the dark side of the moon too. Ever been there?

We sleep. We wake up. We see. Then we again sleep.
We have the dark night and the bright sunlight...
A coin has heads as well as tails.
And Dr Jeckle has Mr Hyde too....

Bingo! Life is an open road...and that too one way...so
why try to molest it by taking a U turn. Its just so simple
to go on straight than attempting a U turn. Ever drove on
balli mara road in chandni chowk...U turn is like commiting suicide but
the straight road is just smooth, but ya with turns here and there.
As a driver you just have to keep your vehicle at a modest speed
as well as prevent it from the hurdles.

Life is just like a road.

Sometimes our eyes open up early. How much happy we feel that
there is another hour for sleep. And sometimes we wait fot
the sun to come out so that we can have 24 hrs of that day...
Sometimes we sleep in bright sunlight too...
and how about partying late night...

We sleep. we wake up. we see. Then again we sleep.
Yes fight! fight not with what was behind but what is yet to come.
It does not matter whether the eyes are closed or open, it is the
mind and soul which has to be awake. We see the light as well as the
dark and both are equally important. So sleep as if there is no tomorrow
and be awake as if there is no darkness.
Most importantly follow your inner self.
Ditto as Adi puts it... bhe should all bhe in lobh bhit liphe .. it'sh beautiphul !

But jusht that one point which i wanted to see here was
the dawn...it is the image of out true self ... which has darkness as well as light!
We are asleep as well as awake.
We are our in dark as well as with light.

Dawn..that is what we are!!!

ok.. after comments longer than the blog itself.. here's one from the horse's mouth.. just a clarification - the title is NOT City of ANGELS (as in the divine ones...) it's City of ANGLES (the geometrical kind... Right for example)
