Those were my blessed days

The rattling sound of buildings, distantly heard

glides me down the path of memory lane

chirping the melody i never fail to heed

stood at the balcony, the fluttering little bird

high up on the sky, the sun seemed lazy

pouring down its shimmering orange gracefully

making me wonder if before the end of the day

it could ever reach the pinnacle of the sky

scorching down the bright yellow light

The days seemed long with daring ventures awaiting

the nights seemed to vanish by the wink of an eye

time withered along with the naive happiness

leaving behind nothing but darkness to embrace

They said those were the malgudi days

i say, those were my blessed days..

Love Vs Heart

              The word "love" automatically brings to one's mind the heart symbol. Have you ever wondered why should they both be linked in any way? And first of all, why should the heart actually get such a symbol? Heart is a part of the human body. It performs the most important function of supplying the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. But it doesnt perform any function related to analysis of thoughts or production of the so called "hormones". All conceptual beliefs are just result of human evolution. This being the case, why did our ancestors use heart shape for indicating love? As we are the modern practicalist, let us do the logical linking. Our brain is the one which processes our thoughts and categorizes them. So officially we are supposed to link "love" with "brain". Imagine that in order to show a love struck person's status "an arrow passing through brain" is used. Gives an impression of "zombies having their love for brain of a human as lunch", doesnt it? Think its best to leave things as they are..
