On moving to a new house

So as usual I move again to a new apt. Though like usual I have moved a lot this time it was special. The maximum time I was without a true my place for such a long time. First with Sadiq for 15 days, then with Veera and the two roomates for 21 days and then with Prasanth for 5-6 weeks.

And now finally to a place I can call my place.

So as always whenever you move to a new place you have a new beginning.

And though lately things have been a bit depressing especailly with relationship and the job tonight looks a good chance to look back and contmeplate.

it is one of the moments when you suddenly have a spring in life. A chance to come close to some people.

The new enviroment the new place it has all the making of the important stuff.

Tommorow might be the same again with life's wiegh and myh thinking making things normal but tonight has a sense of eagerness, of high spirit.

And before this spirit evaporates in sleep and is replaced by more responsible person it helps in enjoyhing the moment......

How poem and especially hits cords like nothing else

I have always been a prose guy, more in conjuntion with my scientific analytical mind, which wants to see a reason for every unexplained phenomenon, including the vagaries of life.

So poem though was exciting never hit a chord, and unlike my one of my roomates Saurav. But suddenly as I grew and world tuned more grey from the black and white of adolscence, suddenly I became more and more anamoured by poem. As unlike prose which is more direct, peoem lets you imagine and fill the spaces with your imaginations and your experinces making it so much more identifiable. That is one big reason why people might not remeber prose poem and especially songs touch so many chords.
