I, during this Diwali !!!

During this Diwali

Sorry friends for the long break this time!!!

Let me tell you all that I recently met Geet Sudha of fropper again and wanted to share about it.

I had planned to start with Geet right away but this time, mind instead of surrendering words, as it did always, was found in a teasing mood.

I instead of finding answers from Geet as they were expected to pour out, as always, as my close friends say, I am quite good at digging out secrets, I found myself in a completely different mood.

After came back home, I found myself faced with a question, “Doesn’t this suddenly found friendship with Geet, is more than just being simply awesome?”

This feeling of finding something awesome usually happens with young people like me who generally while on work, meet people of high corporate world, who themselves are experienced enough to meet new people and always try hard to leave a comfortable feeling.

Geet also saw the glimpse of the same drive and capability in two of my friends who accompanied me that evening, while I went to meet Geet at her place and she appreciated this young company openly and with all love and respect.

I was all the more finding this newly found freedom with Geet which has turned more realistic now after meeting her more than twice, has been tantalising both of mental and spiritual platforms rather than that just comfortable feeling.

The other variants of the same thought followed.

Had I been for the past few days, into an exile in my past? For surely even an exile exists in some space physical and mental.

A mind like Sita of that Ramayana fame, I had been constantly living in a state of mind, always ready to surrender, disarming myself fully to the challenging power of the will and ready go to through tests to prove myself that I still negate all the weakening tendencies of time which still threatens my ego with the inescapable fact of exile which remains alive with every Diwali.

Indignant, I during this Diwali
Refused to cooperate with Rama
To go through that Agniprakisha
Which burnt severely still to test my chastity

I instead asked the whole world
Why this test for me
When I had myself been to the same exile
Was I merely away from home on some political vacation?

Life has nowhere moved
I am still at the starting point
Hopping across the worlds
In the time, which was so squeezed together!!!

After the fall, so tongue-tied,
We are always at the starting point!!!

Remember Geet
How terrible I said it was
That I felt being in an exile these days
Working in an office,
Who is in touch with all the languages of the world
But with no world
To call our own.

How quite we looked
That winter evening
Looking at the circle of smoke
Which escaped unknowingly from the cigarette
Kept on that cold steel ash tray
And you slowly sipping your coffee
I reading my poetry for you
In that damp chilly balcony of your house

I spoke to you
Of my mother who still with her sighs
Prevents a flight into myself
She still speaks to me through her silence
And dampens my soul
Through the beats of her heart

And I told you of my father
Whose finger I still feel strongly held in my small fist
Like a sword being granted to me
Who would fight my days!!!
Who still looks like that lamp
Who sheds light upon my dark nights

And what more I can ask more my life now
As when my heart was sinking deeply in the oasis of its pain,

While living this exile of life,
Geet You came, my friend,
Who rejuvenated me
Took me back to that past,
Which had died
While tracing the
Journey of a woman to a poetess
And finally, you agreed completely
To share all the laments of my soul.

A newly found friend ship is always more over powering than more stable and old friend ship. The bliss and security felt may be temporary, the relation is more important than the feeling I feel.

The exile of the soul is not very clear. Can the poet throw some light on it?

Good for you, Sumedha. It is very rare that we come across people who inspire us a lot.

Comming to sita, Sita was a victim of male dominated society, distrust of her own husband and may be lack of love from him.

She had to give "Agnipariksha" not once but 2 times and was also exiled by her own husband for no fault of hers!

You dont need to go through any tests sumedha. It is simply not required. People who know you care for you have and will accept you as you are or for what you are!

You are one person I am happy to know. your simplicity, your thought process and your style of writing defines your persona.

So let the soul rejoice with company of its kind

Hi Sumedha,

I want to say so much but unfortunately i am not as gifted as you with words!

First by exile are you implying lonliness? Sumedha this world - country is full of people of all kinds, and i firmly belive in the old saying "Birds of same feather flock together"
I must say, I have never felt lonely or in exile like situation becoz i always found the right mix of people around me.
