To my lovely Prinks as she sets out to Delhi


P.T dear, run to Jesus our refuge and rampart
Securely from there every lie you can thwart
He is able to accomplish infinitely more
Wait on him and like an eagle you will soar

Modernism, Romanticism, Indian Literature
And every word that tries to paint an impressionist picture
You will grasp even without a Roy or Geeti lecture
For you have the Lord beside you dear sister

With Shakespeare, Conrad and DH Lawrence
You may have been to England, Congo and Florence
But when that Air India flight in Delhi will be landing
Trust in the LORD and not on your understanding

Thank you for asking Taz and me to pray
Your requests we shall at our father's feet lay
In our prayers which shall like fragrance rise
First list and single room we shall emphasize

Even as we wait to see God's plan
In the life of this CS Lewis fan
Of this I can boldly assure
No lie can this truth obscure-

The world will see more of him through you
Amidst the plentiful harvest and laborers few.
Every cloud of doubt like vapor will vanish
And the work he has begun in you will be finished.

Love you Prinks (*V*)

"In Greek mythology, the Muses (Greek Μοῦσαι , Mousai : perhaps from the Proto-Indo-European root * men- "think") are a sisterhood of goddesses or spirits, their number set at nine by Classical times, who embody the arts and inspire the creation process with their graces through remembered and improvised song and stage, writing, traditional music and dance. They were water nymphs, associated with the springs of Helicon and with Pieris, from which they are sometimes called the Pierides . The Olympian system set Apollo as their leader, Apollon Mousagetes . Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an inspiration, as when one cites his/her own artistic muse, but they are also implicit in the words "amuse" or "musing upon". they are the daughters of Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. For Alcman and Mimnermus, they were even more primordial, springing from Uranus and Gaia. Pausanias records a tradition o

sculpturesque!

"Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature, That fashions all her works in high relief, And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth, Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire; Men, women, and all animals that breathe Are statues, and not paintings. " H.W Longfellow

The voice Within...

Have you felt this feeling that rises in the walls of your stomach? Have you felt it rise and fill your body in a tickle? Have you closed your eyelids tight and concentrated on this feeling? This ink and paper cannot capture it enough. These curves and dots,even these fingers shall forget. Why then do I continue to pollute this white sheet, you say? You would know if you could feel that trickle Which ,in a moment can gush and hit the walls of your inside like a powerful wave Before you know it,it has lifted a pen into your hands. And when you rest what you wield, You sense that the waters are calm. ..................... (This poem has recieved a couple of hilarious responses.My friend A on reading the poem thought that the 'feeling' in the poem referred to my digestive fluids as i refer later to 'the walls of my stomach'!!!and the second response came from D who thought that I had set out to portray Exam tension as that was the only feeling she associated with
