Every once in a while,
stall the thoughts, abandon the speculation
try to shut off the mental processes
disengage the senses, clear up the space
Every once in a while,
block out the disturbances, restrain the activities
take a step back from the mess of life
slow down the breaths, slow the hectic pace
Every once in a while,
ungarble the tangled wishes, tear up the lists
halt the schemes abound in contradiction
pack up the cards, throw away the futile ace
Every once in a while ....
after a long time, I was in the perfect mood to jot down something. The lines, the words came in a flurry and the whole thing was written in 5 minutes, I guess. Even a splitting headache has its plus points !! Btw, the observant might notice why it isn't really possible to have more than three stanzas for this poem :P.

Hmm.. The poem was good and applies to my current situation, but I coudn't fathom why you wrote the last line :|
Gud .. I liked some poem ( any poem ) in a long time ... ok let me write my post for blogger's day :D
@ rama:
Dont worry the substitute psychiatrist (dont u dare laugh :P ) is here to interpret ur thought-provoking poem:
1st stanza interpretation:
finally u decided to sweep your room and make ot clean
2nd stanza:
slow down slow down you have got all day tp clean the room ... dont do a hasty and hence inefficient job
3rd stanza:
You are not satified with the neatness so threw the garbage/paper/cards back on the floor again.
moral:
good boy rama decides to re start cleaning his room again 'coz he did a bad job :D
I wanted to write a comment congratulating Rama for such a sensitive poem, but then I read Baba's comment :O. Just what exactly do you eat, Baba? Or smoke?
@ aniket:
Shucks ! No ..it was a joke :)
(u see ol' chap! That is a true blue Obelix style comment ;)
)
@ rama:
definitely a good poem ... implicitly implied :)
Yet Another Obligatory Spam Comment
beautiful writing Rama...
and Abbulugadu, rofl..
i'd love to post some really witty, sarcastic, double-entendred bit of praise here but none springs to mind
my mind infact is so devoid of thought that it's as empty as the lunar landscape
at this point, i thought this comment would grow into something more, a little bit of prose and not a bore. however, i sense me shooting myself proverbially in the foot if i continue typing
you know when you're vella when you goto someone's blog, scroll down to the end of the comments and realize that you already read and commented here.
I'm keeping this for the college Mag. If you have anything else to contribute, just mail me @ aniketsharma.
Everyone once in a while, a headache comes along...
