Fragrant trail
A puzzling perfume from the V of my hand
Is it the same one from work?
When I fold my hands under the armpits
against cold.. it figures

Images of a traveller
From Irwin Edman's Philosopher's holiday.. ".. the traveller's eye as often gives him images rather than insights, unless he learns in time to be more than a traveler"(pg.9)
*******************
While reading " In the course of almost thirty years it has made a good start on the enormous task .. "(pg x) of Mortimer J. Adler's "Six Great Ideas", the combinatin of the long time and the huge effort implied in the words, stretched my memory, to recall a lunch I had in China at Shanghai Univeristy of Finance and Economics. More than the the food or its taste, the introduction to this event is in the currency conversion of its price to dollars and its worth.
Thinking of ideas like beauty, I am reminded of a narrow but tall room at Museum of Modern Art, NY, closer to one of the cafes.

When the sun is unequal
the day is still new

Babel
I started watching the movie Babel. It was good to watch half of it. It kept going from happenings in different parts of the world. I liked that it didnt have unnecessary things going on, but very simple things such as two kids doing something silly not realising how they could trigger wrongs.. I could not watch further when what they did would be out. I think I didnt mind watching till the point it got, may be because they did not know what they were doing. But once they started feeling scared of being caught after knowing that they had done something wrong.. the movie was so well taken, that I just could not see it anymore.. Did it seem so close to life,because it did not have anything else but focus on just what was going on just as life is , a thing happening at a time .. seeming dull at once but changing as it goes.. Few days ago I was thinking, how we always want to know what happened next in others lives like it were a good story and we will want to know that many more times. But when you know where the end is approaching, you want to stop before it gets there, by not watching the movie along?? |
