The Melody of Truth

Posted by Vinod on February 25, 2010

When the stillness of silence looks eternal
A melody of truth will come playing in
Amidst the silent cries of your shattered world
There will be a moment that will beam the truth

“As the fairness of grey reveals the purity of age
The mind need be fresh with the innocence of life

The mind; a child to the man who bears it
Will always try to grow up to the world
Don’t let it grow for there is never an end
Let it be unlearned and untamed as ever

The world will grow bigger and mean in time
And you will never be able to catch up to it
So instead of getting lost in its crowded streets
Your untaught mind, can show you the way

And when your body gets aged to perfection
Awaiting life’s final barbeque
You will have a mind so bright and original
That will be unscathed in the scorching heat

Slowing Down

Posted by Vinod on January 15, 2010

Why speed up to the grave
When you can truly slow down

Why speed to the edge
And halt with a Sigh,
Look back at losses before you fall

Life is so much prettier
Living it every moment

Slowing does not mean being dumb
Nor is it an asset of the lazy anymore
It’s the virtue of one who values their life

Anyone who needs true success
Should enjoy the journey and the fruit

If you are not happy today, here, now
No point in your life will ever come
For you to truly feel you are

No riches, No wealth, No Gift I say
Is worth your life enjoyed by you

I have been sad, I have been unhappy
But not any more, not another day
For I have decided to slow and enjoy

People speed through a life
They worry about when lived slow

Eating fast food faster than it’s served
Speeding through nightmares in their sleep
Slow down my friend, life is not that bad

Lift up life’s drink to your lips
Smell its fragrance as it drips into you

Bury the worry in its own ugly grave
And enjoy these moments when you still have them
And slowly and happily move towards your own

Comment of Scott Kim’s TED Talk

Posted by Vinod on December 4, 2009

Puzzles are so fun to solve and here is someone who finds it lot more fun to make them. In the world of puzzles in our real world, many of us are more creators like Scott rather than solvers.

We create puzzles of seemly simple things and get lost in it unable to solve them. And then there will come a genius telling how stupid we were to create them in the first place.

Check this out
Thinking about loosing weight and creating complex theories on how we are gaining it when what we need is reduce fatty & sugary food & some exercise

Focusing on what is bad in life and being unhappy, when what we need is to realize that if we can find one thing that makes us happy, do it, for it will flow into & replace every other negativity

Getting puzzled on relationships with others when the only thing you need is to be honest, open and accept that both of you are imperfect

Let Scott make the puzzles that trigger our brain and let us not create puzzles in life that wreck our brain – Good talk
