something to look at

 A LOOK AT LIFE-64 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY     DEATH A MENTAL STATE When it seems all over  Life sprouts From the ashes of the past once more  Only you need a bit of silence to feel it A bit of science, a bit of art to realise it A pair of eyes to see it,  acknowledge  Its never-ending beauty and grandeur  A pair of ears to listen to the symphony of life  And lose yourself in its music forever  Look around Where is death? It is only life everywhere  Life and its changing colours  Each more bright and beautiful than the other Atoms and molecules bubbling with vitality  Energy in various forms Subtle vibrations Electrons orbiting around the nucleus  Even what you call death  Is life in another form  Death is more a state of mind Than a physical phenomenon  One who has not seen life in death Has never lived his life. It depends on how you define life It is an urge to expand, manifest, unfold, Contract and expand  To keep pace with change and maintain  Its existence under all circumstance

 A LOOK AT LIFE-57 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY   you don't need to tell me i know who i am a nonentity struggling for an identity in the vast multitude of humanity living in a world where success  so difficult to come by i often ask me a question if i succeed, will it make me a man? what to do with success  if that will take me away from my small world from the things i love, the people i love to be with what to do with recognition and appreciation if that will make me someone else, alien to myself what to do with all my affluence if my conscience deserts me, my feelings, emotions and gestures never remain mine when nobody with me to share my accomplishment and agony  what to do with that glittering world where my own do not have places to live in where my childhood friend can't  hug me men and women of my village cannot identify with me, my riches and success and look at me as if i am not their own someone who has come from another heaven  of what use that success? if it snatches

 A LOOK AT LIFE-56 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY THE QUEEN OF NIGHT Oh, the queen of the night! I will never succumb to your first kiss Come with your fascinating attire, Put the whole of me on fire Come with all your grace and charm  Seduce me, make me fall in love with Knock at me, knock at my closed door, Again and again, to win me, win my body, mind and Heart  I know not how many times I am here How many times we met and part But as and when I come  You chase me like a mad beloved  To meet me, feel my touch and feel me deep inside My love! We part to meet and meet to part  That defines our love and romance  But our joy and ecstasy  Only for a few moments Then begins the tedious journey of life,  Its chill and charm and that long waiting To give meaning to that eternal love and longing  My love! Waiting for you since long  I know you are behind my back Since the day I am here. Come in front, face to face Come with your spellbinding grandeur  I will unveil that veil and See the queen of m

 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-139 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY        BEYOND BODY AND MIND Decades we spent Enduring and dreaming a life That never came by  Decades we lived in ourselves  Thinking about each other all the way  Respecting each other's feelings and dignity  Without trespassing into other's domain  Probably that is love at its very best More fulfilling than thousand marriages  Decades passed Neither I tried to meet you  Not you tried to meet me  We remained in each other as a sweet memory  Love those years I never spent in grief and despair  But in weaving dreams of love More fascinating than the real world We enjoyed our dreams the way  One enjoys the summer shower  And bright sunshine in a chill morning  Days and years passed We lived in each other's dream In dreams, our  love unfolded  In dreams, love matured  Bloomed into a beautiful flower  And found  its ultimate fulfilment  When love degenerates into a relationship  It loses its grace and beauty  Love is beyond rela

 A LOOK AT LIFE-55 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY               I AM IN LOVE             for a change we just looked at each other and the rest is history life unfolded its beauty like never before we are in love once more  how soon everything changed and the world became so beautiful and fascinating once again  i looked at you you are the same, no signs of ageing, no wrinkles, no black spots,  i could see nothing, only sense that ageless heart  beating for the sake of love those beautiful eyes, dancing dimples, rosy cheeks, quivering lips, drooping eyes and inviting gestures telling me it is not all over still, there is enough in us to captivate each other for years together  love is always in its youth love never grows old, it is as it was  much before  when we first fell in love we don't feel it, feel its warmth and beauty because we never look at it  the way we used to look at it life is all about finding that love rediscovering the moments  and passion for each other  life is  livin

 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-135 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY           THE MAHATMA Mahatma Not merely  a word Not even a noun or adjective  He is the pulse of a nation Cause of million smiles And a ray of light in utter darkness  He was not a man But an institution An ocean in a drop of water. He is our Bapu The beats of a thousand  hearts  The hopes of millions of people  Fighting against violence, injustice and fanaticism from across the world  He is the father of the nation Who proved nothing is impossible  If one is committed to truth and nonviolence, practice it in thought, words and deeds, means what he says,  remains the same both inside and outside  The problem is not with his ideology It still holds good, still  the same as it was The problem is with us We are not pure, true to ourselves  We say something which we are not actually Hypocrisy is our biggest weapon with which We fight and hope to win the battle of life To the Mahatma  No goal is as important as the means All through his lif
