SOMETHING I LOOK AT-91 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY From this side I am stretching my hands, from that side, you come forward, give me your hand, we will walk hand in hand on the path of peace and prosperity and rewrite the history of mankind. Neither you know me, nor I know you, why so much of hatred and jealousy in between. Nothing is common between you and me, except we share the same feelings to flower and flourish and live a beautiful life in peace and amity. I am opening my heart, you open yours, only a single heart beating for the sake of humanity and the victory of love and life, nothing in between you and me except our make belief man-made identity. Open your eyes, I am opening mine. Look at history, written in the blood of fallen martyrs, the battles and wars fought over the years to satisfy a few, their ego, greed and vanity. Let us open the closed window to look at each other  and see the sad panorama of human woes and listen to the poignant tales of m

A LOOK AT LIFE-17 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I do not know who are they Who brought me to this world and left me all alone to fight a lone battle under the scorching heat of the sun and pears of the shower I do not know What a mother is and a father all about. I am far away from the touch of human relationships, the lovely bondage of family and all those that make life a beauty on earth Sometimes l look at them, their fascinating world, lovely gadgets and the ocean of love that bathes them every now and then. I see how carefree and jubilant they are, completely lost in the perennial stream of love and delicate care, dreaming  all the way for a still better tomorrow to come by. I never envy, nor do I regret the lost childhood, father's shadow and mother's lap. All do I need and fancy a bit of your love, a bit of your affection and a bit of everything you have for kids of your own, to grow and develop and make life more bearable On th

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-16 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Non like you, none can be. You are so different and special, in you, I breathe my life, in you, I will live my death. You are not what you think you are, you are your forefathers reincarnated to carry forward the legacy for which they lived and died. Where ever you go whatever you do feel that they are with you. Hate none, see the object of your love in everything and every being, speak the language of love, share others happiness, be in the moment of their sorrow. In love, there is no jealousy no negative emotions, love and love only. Love fills and completes a man, there lies the fulfilment of life, tribute to your predecessors. Be good, do good to others, never be the cause of any one's grief, anger and jealousy. Carry your self, help those who can not, then only you will understand life its meaning and beauty. Give, never expect anything in reciprocation, love without a condition, breat

A LOOK AT LIFE - 44 BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Love leads one to devotion, devotion makes one surrender, and surrender leads to enlightenment. The more devoted one is, the more successful he is both in the material life and spiritual pursuit. A devoted soul remains within the world but above it doing all  the  roles working  as a caretaker at the behest of his master having no responsibility to shoulder, no worries whatsoever Unflinching devotion leads to knowledge, when one completely identifies oneself with the object of his love and there remains no difference between him and the object of his love and becomes completely one with it Love, surrender and devotion cannot be with many, it is always with one, with the object of love one identifies, lives and dies and love, lover and the object of love become one and the same in the end copyright@smrutiranjan20.7.2017

What I learned over the years and the way I was groomed prohibits me to treat the man as a man, the values I inculcated and Lovingly nurtured come in the way When I retire from my ignoble strife with very little life in me, my tired eyes again meet his, lively and fresh.

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-90

Image
SOMETHING I LOOK AT-90 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY A woman I am, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife and beloved. In all my roles I complement and fulfil the men in my life. I make them full and complete. On my love and sacrifice, they stand, on my feet, they walk  the thorny path of life but look at the world through a pair of jaundiced eyes. Without me, they are just aimless ships sailing in the boisterous sea. I am the able navigator who brings them safely ashore,  but they forget it the moment  they come back to their comfort zone. I am the life in them, that carries them forward to their destination. It is the woman behind every man, her unconditional love and motivation that precisely define a man, his success and failure, but never his attitudes and behaviours and the way they look at woman. I have been with you like your shadow living and enduring your moments of joy and despair,  happiness and sorrow, never thinking for a moment i have a life of my o

A LOOK AT LIFE-15 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY The fallen martyrs Fighting a lone battle In their solitary asylums In a no man's land The unsung heroes Of many wars Silently languishing In their lost paradise Unnoticed Enduring the bitter agony of life Where are those eyes That suppressed the voice of innocence Where are those ears That never listened to The sad panorama of human woes Where are those hands That deprived the poorest of the poor A roof to stay under And a piece of bread To keep the body and mind together Where is that mind That desired everything for its own And the pen That subdued the wisest of the wise For petty interests of some For whom you lived Fought a battle of unequal And made a hell of your life Have left you all alone To silently witness The crumbling relics of your empire To rethink and reassess And wait for the unceremonious martyrdom copyright@smruti ranjan 24.7.2015

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-47

Image
SOMETHING I LOOK AT-47 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Nothing lures me, neither the beauty of the present nor the glamour of future, no present to live in, no future to look for i am in my solitary asylum, but not all alone. You are with me, every minute every second, your sweet memory never allows me to live alone, captivates and enthralls me and  makes me feel as if i am in love for the first time. I am completely lost in you, always in your lap my sweetheart, recapitulating and brooding over the lovely moments we had Mamtaj ! I am in my cell, far away from the calculative world, what a better place could i have aspired for? No one near, no royal grandeur, no diplomacy and warfare, it is only you, whom i see and feel, talk to, and fall in love as and when i want to. copyright@smrutiranjan 15.7.2017

A LOOK AT LIFE-42

Image
A LOOK AT LIFE-42 BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Reality can't be many. There is only one soul that inhabits many bodies and the whole of the cosmic universe. Victims of illusion and duality we are, fail to conceive the reality, our essential oneness and see us as distinct and different. One has become many and many will become one, the expansion and contraction of the cosmic soul, and the process of involution and evolution is the only reality. God in His creations and His creations in Him is the truth, eternal. Wherever you go, whatever you see and whatever lies beyond your vision and perception is nothing but the cosmic soul manifested in different forms, ocean in a drop of water and a drop of water in the ocean all the same copyright @smrutiranjan 15.7.2017

SOMETHING I LOOK AT -34

Image
SOMETHING I LOOK AT-34 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I know not how much I love her. Should  i call her the bone of my bones, the string of my heart, the pupil of my eyes? I have no words to offer, similes and metaphors awfully inadequate to express her true grandeur In her my past and present, in her my future and fulfillment, in her is salvation to all my worries, in her the panacea to all my ills, in her the answer to all my vexed questions, in her lap is my heaven, in her smile my lost paradise, in her eyes the whole of my life. In her i see beauty personified, charms agglomerated. With her scintillating beauty and unmatched elegance, she is always there to hug me  with all her heart. My love is she, my village, the soul of my soul, where i truly live. copyright@smruti ranjan 2017

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-27

Image
S0METHING I LOOK AT-27 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Look at the waves whirling in the blue sea, the peacock dancing in joy hoping  rain to come its way, the sun playing hide and seek with  the  clouds making a spectrum of colours inviting the crescent moon to come and smile in the dark sky. Listen to the music of life, the singing cuckoo, the symphony of ceaseless rain, smell the flavours of moist earth, the aroma of wildflowers, it is love and love all the way. My love! it happens once in life, never twice always with one, never with many. When it comes, it comes with all its grandeur, makes life so full, one sees nothing but his love. It makes one fly in the azure sky, explore the golden petals of love, go down  the ocean to find the pearl from the oyster. Look at me, listen to the voice of my heart, the symphony of love. Look at my eyes and ears opening only to see and hear you and the whole being is dying to meet you. Feel me! feel my emotions

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-89

Image
SOMETHING I LOOK AT-89 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Apprehension kills, snatches away the moments, the tiny pleasures, little drops of happiness that come your way. It eats the vitals of your life, makes you hallow inside, puts you always on the back foot, reduces you to a physical body where there is hardly any life It breeds fear fear makes you listen to its call and you live the whole of your life under its shadow feeding, nourishing and carrying it with you wherever you go. It takes the juice out of  life and let you live in perpetual fear of losing something you have and the fear of not having the things you cherish and wish to come by. Apprehension, a psychic state of mind, keeps you on your toes, the unseen future hunts you all along, never allows you to live in the present and you spend your time anticipating something not so good to happen. In the prime of youth, the fear of disease, old age and death dances before your eyes. In plenty, you s

A LOOK AT LIFE-41 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I know not how to live without you, how can I die when are you not around? My love! be there with all your passion and grandeur till I breathe my last in your lap and lose me in you forever. It seems since time immemorial we are with each other but time has come for one to bid farewell to the other. The single entity we are, a single pair of eyes to look at the world, a single heart a single pair of ears to feel life and smell its fragrance. All along I am with you, feeling me in you and you in me, enjoying and enduring each moment of our joy and sorrow. It aches when a single entry cuts into halves, the soul is made to leave the body. It deeply pains when you leave the special one you love all alone to fight the battle of life on his own. You know I can not live without you but you can live though there will be hardly any life in you. In between you and me there is a thread of love which will b

A LOOK AT LIFE-32 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Discipline, few can challenge what you say. Still, fewer can dispute your value in shaping and making one’s destiny. Even birds and animals listen to your dictates and to an extent they conform to what you say You are just awesome. For you and you only man is what he is, an uncrowned monarch of what he sees At times you become too harsh and obstinate, leaves no room to manoeuvre. My friend! give us a little space to think and live, dance and play, innovate and live life afresh You know too much of you dampens initiative and creativity and make one conform and conform only, making a mockery of his free will and all that he loves and relishes. An average man conforms, while a genius deviates. If the primitive man would have accepted things as they are, man would not have been where he is now, at the zenith of glory. A Galileo would not have been a Galileo, and Sun would have been still revolving aroun

A LOOK AT LIFE-40

A LOOK AT LIFE-40 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY The society in which I am born, the way i was groomed and socialised to look at the world made me what i am, a machine which confirms to the values of the larger society. All along I am taught and schooled to look at the world, behave, interact and interpret in a way defined by the society to which I belong. With hands and legs, mind and conscience strongly bound, I am to live a life far away from me. Chained emotion, chained love caged smile, caged feeling, patterned behaviour, patterned interaction i am supposed  live with, love and endure. When I first looked at the world through my own eyes, I felt it was not my eyes through which i was looking at but through a pair of glasses, thickly coloured by the norms and values of the society. I never saw the world as it was but the way I was made to look it at. The values I inculcated stood in the way and blurred my vision. Since birth, I am in chains

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-86

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-86 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Love and faith are twin sisters. When one comes, brings the other. God is faith and love. Have faith in him, faith in your love, that will make you believe in yourself and all those who really matter. Nothing like love and faith. They work miracles, make life bearable, show you light in utter darkness, the way when all the roads seem to have a blind end Whatever may be the circumstance. Neither it is going to remain forever nor it is the end of life. Never let your faith die, let love reign in your heart. It is faith and love that give you strength to fight all odds, hope against all hopes. When all doors are closed, faith opens one more, love holds you when you are truly shattered. life and relationship stand on love, trust and faith without which it will break like a house of cards and make your life a living hell. Be scientific in your approach but never lose faith on which your life rests. Smruti

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-46

Image
SOMETHING I LOOK AT-46 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Conflict, both inside and outside, inside it is a struggle between mind and conscience, between the values i inculcated and the goals I cherish. Outside, it is a war of me against all, between what i relish and what i accomplish. It is a continuous struggle of each against all for the avenues of life, comfort, luxury, pelf, power, recognition and all that makes modern life a beauty. With the tide of desires running high and the wind of instincts and emotions propelling it the real I seem to be sadly missing in the horizon. To reconcile the irreconcilable conflicts in life one has to peep inside to have a glimpse of his real nature which is but divinity expanded and to understand the futility of rat race for accomplishment appreciation and recognition which gives nothing but more desires, more conflicts and pain. Happiness and peace of mind, all that one needs at the end of the day never come out

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-88

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-88 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY When the present becomes too much to bear, life a burden and endless struggle, when heart bleeds in love, eyes moist with tears, mind goes back to you my love, to that pink envelope, the piece of paper with crimson glow, where dwells my heart, wherein inscribed your love in golden letters Life unfolds its pages. The past reincarnates. Heart and soul, body and mind, eyes and ears dance in joy. You come with all your splendour like the silver moon from behind the bank of clouds, touch me, touch my body and mind, take me away to the heaven of love, where there is none but you and me in love with each other. How can i forget the day we parted, the day when you were forced to tie knot with someone else, leaving me and our love midway. I could see your heart wounded bleeding in love, tears pouring on your cheeks, body and mind shattered in fear of losing someone you loved. Neither you lost me, nor i lost you

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-40

SOMETHING I LOOK AT -40 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I have not seen a war, more than I have seen it in the consequences of its devastation, years after the war, in the crumbling relics of fallen dynasties, in the wounded ego of vanquished nations, in the blood and tears of many for whom the war was the biggest nightmare. I have not seen a war but I have seen it in the sad and gloomy faces of many, in their agony and apathy, who are just alive  to shed tears and  curse their fate till they are here I have seen the war and its horror, in the sad panorama of human beings, in the devastation of ecology, in the poisoning of the environment, in the silent murmur of mother earth, in broken homes, in broken hearts, in a life that is no better than a living hell. I have seen the war, heard its poignant melody in the cry of those who silently witnessed and endured it. I have seen it in its relics, the human beings, diseased and defeated who lost all that is p

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-87 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I am what i am, the same everywhere, be it in the blue sky or deep in the ocean, be it in the sacred corners of a temple or in the graveyard, i am always the same very true and honest to myself. Years have passed. Everything around me changed bur i remained the same over the ages with my  basic instincts hardly undergoing any change. My love is as fragile as my hatred, my emotions and feelings are as transitory as water bubbles. The scenario keeps on changing so also i and the  colours of my life and my actions and reactions  are always guided by motives, largely defined in terms of happiness and sorrow pain and pleasure. Love, friendship, brotherhood, everything i call divine are but my interests in different guise. I do not have a past, live in the exclusive present expecting a brighter future to come by. no one is my friend, no one is my enemy No one is  near and no one is far away for me nothing is perma

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-87 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Let your mind go wherever it likes. Don't chase it. Just watch it, watch its movement. It will get tired, come back on its own and be there where you want it to be. Watch your breath coming in and going out. Never get involved in the process. It will go slower and slower and take you to that land of wonder where you will identify and become one with the source. Go beyond your external senses of perception. Dive deep inside, listen to the beats of your heart, the voice within and the divine melody emanating. Your mind will stop roaming and your whole being will come to stand still in bliss and harmony. Feel the cosmic consciousness moving through the spine from mooladhar chakra to sahasrara, blood flowing through your arteries and veins, the subtle vibrations deep inside. Be with it, its rhythm and rhyme. Watch the you, you call yourself as a silent observer. It will let you know who you actually a

A LOOK AT LIFE-14 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY A chair on wheels is all that you have to move and look at the world which is not as it was. You are on your last leg, confined to bed interacting and socializing with an unknown face but still dreaming and hoping a better future for your kids to come by. All of you are alike, never desire anything for self, live every bit of life for the sake of those who have their own life to live by. The ocean of love and sacrifice is in a small well having no takers for what she says. The pupil of her eyes so engrossed in their world have little time to stand and stare Nothing has changed. You remained the same and the world around. Your blood even today are true to yourself. Everything remained the same, only time has changed and with change in time changed the priorities of life and the values and emotions of man. copyright@smrutiranjan 2.7.2015
