Love,like Religion, they are both the same

Love, like Religion, they are both the same.
Oh, both go back a long long way...
Right at the birth of the Universe.
They are the reason we exist, we flourish..

Oh and Dont worry, science and sex, they are just, by the way...

Religion is the reason ppl create miracles...
Well a very few chosen do...
Love is the reason ppl create babies...
A miracle that the every rest of us can claim to do...

There's Christ and Krishna; there's Romeo and Juliet...
There's Bible and Geeta; There's Shakuntal and Cleopatra...
Our saviours, our epics, our pasts and our futures ?

Cut down to the mundane and there it lies...
Religion on a dusty bookshelf...
Love on a rusty teddy bear..

Oh, say your prayers and follow your rituals..
Light those candles and confess your sins...
Worship the cow and worship the Stone..
Sacrifice the lamb and sacrifice the Man...

Love like crazy, love like possession...
Be jealous, be demanding, be all-giving and all-taking...
And by the way...Guard your love like the Virgin Mary..
Control your desires and swallow your tears....
Bcoz no matter when u give away, whom u giv away;
in love, Oh it is a matter of shame and lust...


Bloodsheds and killings;to protect my religion..
Lies and betrayals; thats for my new improved religion..

Bloodsheds and killings;Oh I love her (/him)
Lies and betrayals; thats for my 'new' found love
Infidelity -> Thats fashion in love...

With noble intentions and purest of hearts...
Those simple great men sought to guide us.....
Love and compassion to all-pervading...
Love and companionship to that someone special...

It is your path, it is my journey...
We labour together, and yet travel alone...
Your deepest belief, your truest desire...
Love,like Religion, they are both the same...

bas yunhi-------

humne -

shor machaya itna ki khamoshi chikhti reh gayi...
roshni kardi itni ki saanjh ka diya chhup gaya...
daude itna ki thakaan bhi humein sambhal na paayi...
bhid jamaayi itni ki dil ki khwaish akeli reh gayi...
haans diye itna ki aankhon ke aansoon bhi apni pehchan kho baithe...
bhatke itna galiyon mein ki manzil aankhon se ozhal ho gayi...
hum is gati se ji gaye ki hum khud hi kahi picche chhut gaye...

kyon jiye...kya jiye...kab jiye...
socha itna ki maut ki aahat bhi humein sunayi naa di...

Death

IS there anything that is alive anymore....
Is there anything that is alive anymore, anyplace.....

When a city adorned the sky with fireworks and
A child died in the dark shanty filthy hut....
Blinded by the light of the fireworks......

When a couple made love in the soft velvety cushions....
And a mother killed her un-born un-asked for child....
Across the street.......

When hundreds admired the beauty of a volcano....
That destroyed a small village in its midst...
And left a attractive shining pathway...

When a innocent girl submitted to a guy....
And her heart cried out "Foul"
And the sun, the wind, the ocean, looked by...

When U and I smile and make merry....
And deep inside weep to tears....
To the sound of music n laughter....

Where
Dreams are to rot,
Trust is to be breached,
Hope is to be smothered,
Love is to be forgotten.....

Is there anything that is alive anymore....
IS there anything that is alive anymore, anyplace........

The Joke -- With Him

If you find this written, a joke, on my part, well that’s one more angle to look at it….

U wont agree to most of it, I wd be surprised if u do….



It would be such a joke upon the world.....if U turned out just as we think u are.....



And just what we think u are.......well some say u are all-loving, all-forgiving, all-knowing.

So if i understand them correctly, it means, boss u are allowed to do sins, if u learn to repent

it later when u have got urself in a real mess...repent n god will get u out of it...

Is this why the bigger the criminal, the confident he is.... ?????



But then, Some say you are to be appeased all the time, u may get angry on small mistakes....u know when

a person on earth has eaten in a fast or when came to a temple unbathed.....and u give punishment.

If I dont do puja, u will not bless me. Dont u get smothered with so many ppl worshipping u.

Wouldnt u like to be left alone for a while.

Ppl say so, leave Amitabh and Sachin alone, what about you...????????? I really dunno...



Some say you have borne us in this world to bear all hardships...well now I get it, that is why you

give hardships in first place...seems a bit more in place now...all the pain and suffering in

the world...the rapes and killings…..the betrayals n foolings……



But then some say, you have got us here, but we have to be detached from it. Its like sitting

on a oven and not feeling the heat...i guess by either having a suspension by way of which one

is always suspended 4 inches from the oven or by having a never ending supply of ice...dunno this

prob is so difficult, i dunno how ppl believe u have assigned us such a difficult task...



Some say dont be emotionally attached, and the ONLY DIFFERENCE between humans and the other

creatures is EMOTIONS and FEELINGS....I dunno if just living without getting involved...without

thinking of what I am doing and how it would affect the other person....how to do it...so many

ppl do it....God I know I am digressing, but now I feel I have to learn it....

now this is not fair.....i am confused....about you and your expectations of my conduct

as a human.....



U know the best part of the joke is, seeing the world as it is, we still believe, that you have

time for me and that you can fulfill my every wish. This is the biggest farce in the world,

instilled in each and every human being....we all live with such a big lie. How could you

fulfill my every wish...Oh then they say I think, that God knows best ,when he doesn’t fulfill

any of your wish, it is bcoz he has better plans for u ....wat a heap of crap....

Why not accept God cannot fulfill all your wishes.



How can you do it ....A mother cant fulfill all her kids' wishes...A PM cant fulfill wishes

of all his employees... Then you need to have good n bad ppl too in the world....well again here

I go with one more assumption --

You differentiate us as gud and bad...You perceive our actions as we perceive them to be...

But then in some cultures, it is ok to eat others; in some it is a biggest crime.

Some can kill women as honour killing, some cannot.

In some cultures, u marry the one u love...in some its a shame to luv boss....

now how do u remember our rules....Your software might be crashing at times, huh ...!!!

or is it perfect like you....



So, the software engineer in me has risen up...And I will put it in mails and hope it reaches

to you as spam unless you monitor all our networks n our mails. Let me hope this reaches u....



But then what....U will answer me...how will I know it is you.....

A blind person once said, to know we are missing eyes, we need to know wat is an eye....

And to see an eye, we need a eye :-)



I guess same applies to me too...to all of us.....however hard we try,we may never find you...

Till then each one of us will believe he kows the best and stick to it.



Then as interval, he will meet u and if there is next life ( again a assumption),

you will have cleaned up my memory...so I will go with a clean slate and again try to find you

( assumption -- I would think about u in that life too ).
