Minds Eye Of Life

She was blessed with kindness, She was bestowed with charm, She was born to fly high and free, And not to be caged and be abused. Her silence is not acceptance of oppression, If her beauty can sway your heart, Her anger can burn you to ashes. Couple of weeks ago or so I just happened to view a teaser of the short film called “Dwar” (to check out the Promo click here ). And I must admit I was impressed and was also intrigued as to what the full version of it would be like. And then couple of days ago I received the link to view the full version of the film from the makers of the film Know Your Star . (To check the full version click here ). I viewed it once and then I viewed it again. The next few minutes I sat there in front of my laptop in silence, for I was blown away by what I had watched. It’s not the creativity alone showcased in the film by the makers that triggered me to write this post. It was the cause they addressed through this short film calle...

"Always heartbreaking when you got to leave your city behind and all that you carry along is a bag full of memories." I wrote the above lines as the train was about to chug off from Hubli railway station. I was heading back to Bangalore, which I term as my Karmabhoomi, for that’s where I work. In the last couple of months my visits to Hubli have been more frequent. I end up spending a minimum of two days every month in the company of my parents in Hubli. It’s a tier two city as everyone terms it. So there is a huge gap between the socio-economic lifestyles of Bangalore and Hubli. One part of the story is it does make me feel uncomfortable as lack of development in Hubli is very apparent.   The city by itself has always been the epicentre of not just socio-political events but happens to be a prime city for trade reasons too for northern Karnataka. The pain areas are very basic yet they are the most important ones. Basic infrastructure such as roads, drinking ...

Dreams may be silly, But make them reality, Live well, live big, Today is all you have. They will never stop, The noise of cynics, They wouldn’t your ideas, But what matters is your belief. Don’t let them misguide you, Don’t let them distract you, Don’t let them depress you, Don’t let them defeat you. Reality is what you create, And create it with your own hands, With belief in heart and dreams in mind, Keep walking on the path you choose. You can never choose success, But success will choose you. If you can drive yourself towards your dream, Your dreams will turn into reality. Cheers and Peace ~ Vijay Shenoy A.K.A #GabbyVJ

I am longing to meet you, The emptiness within is trying hard, To find words to express it all, Yet a smoke of silence lingers around. I want you back in my arms, Feel the tenderness as I kiss thy lips again. Your fragrance still lingers around at home, But the loneliness continues to haunt my heart. I know you have promised, You have promised you will be back soon, The wait although not never-ending is getting longer, And with time my heart is growing fonder. These moments of silence in your absence, Are the hardest one to fight off. Yet I fight them all with vigour, For I know our love is only getting stronger. Until you are back in my arms again, Your memories are my only friends, I play them in mind in an endless loop. Sometimes I smile, Sometimes I cry, The fondness I have for your, Despite expressed in words remains unexpressed. Cheers and Peace ~ Vijay Shenoy A.K.A #GabbyVJ

Can there be blue stars? Can there be a red moon? Can there be a white sun? Can there be a green sky? You may call them false dreams, You may call me stupid, They sure are figment of intuitive mind, Yet I would like to imagine the unreal. What you see may not be real, It’s real to you because they said so. What you hear may not be real, It’s real to you because they said so. Open up your mind’s eye, Open up to the unseen, Craziness is just imagination uncontrolled, But I would still be called stupid, It doesn’t matter anymore, For I feel being crazy is better than being unreal.
