This means there has to be coordination in every sense for it to function and to coordinate well with somebody else you have to be well coordinated yourself.<br /><br />The problem is when we are not well coordinated we will always blame the wrong coordination of the other than ourselves.<br /><br />Okay lets take the example of a smal child and the activity of eating... you know the mess they create.... it is your own hand and your own mouth but still you cannot get the spoon straight into the mouth without dropping food. Just think of it, instinctively you can feel your hunger, you know food has to be fed through your mouth, you have to use your hand to feed, etc. etc. yet it takes a few years to master the art of eating without dropping.<br /><br />Now with your body, organs and senses to coordinate a basic thing takes you so long and by repeated use and practice you get it right, just imagine affairs of the heart and to make things worse emotions attached to it that are difficult to see, undertsand, deal with and the worst part is you do not know where they come from and where they go.<br /><br />An early relationship is like the child getting the food in the mouth without dropping, it takes a lot of practice, patience and the liberty to drop food. The irony is that we all are just not willing to give our partners to drop the food when oursleves keep dropping it.<br /><br />Just like dropping food teaches you how to eat properly, heartbreaks are very important to unsderstand your hearts desire and the coordination with your emotion and to balance expectations. When you can see the movement of your limbs and you can physically protect it from danger and injury by way of natural reflexes, unfortunately with the heart you cannot be proactive and in most cases the learning is reactive.<br /><br />Proactive or reactive, learning is very important and hence the process of heart break on makes you realise what went wrong in the movement of the hand to the mouth.<br /><br />Understand what you seek for you shall stop seeking in others. Because there nothing that you cannot find within but the depth you want to reach.<br /><br />If there is life ... there is love.... there is no escape.... live life....love life!<br

thoughts<span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;">Hi everybody</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;">It is not that I have run out of poems, but now I just feel like sharing whats going on in my mind.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;">Have just been sitting back and observing life whatever I have lived and also others who have been living it and this one thought struck me like an arrow.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;">When we are born we do not have any idea about God atleast in the conscious mind and our entire concept of God and spirituality is built by people who talk about it, the goodness and badness, the mundane and the divine and so on are concepts that form in our mind by hearing others.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">In conclusion it only people through whom God communicates with us. Hence it is us people who are the messenger of God.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">Am sure you would have experienced the fulfilment and satisfaction when you said something good to somebody and it impacted that person positively.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">Hence we all are messenger of God by default whenever we choose to speak good to others to make a positive impact on them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">Cheers</span>Raja Sanyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14589619820155254267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033729495131563643.post-82800295678981666472010-02-22T22:14:00.001+05:302010-02-22T22:16:35.116+05:30Connection‘Connection’<br /><br />What is the bird’s connection with the sky?<br />What is Truth's connection with the Lie?<br />What is the sea’s connection with the shore?<br />What is the boat’s connection with the oar?<br /><br />What is the light’s connection with the shadow?<br />What is the cow’s connection with the meadow?<br />What is the mountain’s connection with the cloud?<br />What is the farmer’s connection with the seed he had ploughed?<br /><br />What is the mother’s connection with the child?<br />What is the eyes connection with the mind?<br />What is the day’s connection with the night?<br />What is the string’s connection with the kite?<br /> <br />What is the connection between life and time?<br />What is the connection between your heart and mine?Raja Sanyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14589619820155254267noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033729495131563643.post-66824740645857601982010-02-22T22:08:00.003+05:302010-02-22T22:13:50.446+05:30Long time<span style="font-family:arial;">Hi Everybody</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Apologies for being silent for so long, just living life you know do not really wana give mundane reasons like life has busy etc, it means nothing.

The first one is titled Veil. Whenever we start to reach out a person and we gradually intrude into their personal space naturally because of the comfort or simply you observe or are keen to know about the person.... there is sudden fear that grips the other person as if you have entered unguarded territory and they try to shield or hide.... this one is for such a situation<br /><br />"Veil"<br /></span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Veil not the fragrance of a blooming flower for the bees will still find it<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p></o:p>Veil not the sunlight with clouds for monsoons will still pass away<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Veil not a happy heart with sadness for there will be sunshine anyways<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Veil not rather, let me veil you from the evil world<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Veil you from grief that people cause <o:p></o:p></span></p> <span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Veil you with happiness and light for darkness to be veiled forever from yo<st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">ur</st1:city></st1:place> life.</span>Raja Sanyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14589619820155254267noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033729495131563643.post-17263082948900625572009-08-18T19:56:00.002+05:302009-08-18T20:15:18.743+05:30More about the lady<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Now let me tell you all a little more about the girl....<br /><br />For my inspiration behind writing these poems I have got various responses ranging from " I find this very cute, romantic and mushy" to " God you are kidding... i thought you had met her professionally" to " You have become devdaas" and so on but responses have come on emails, text messages and phone calls.<br /><br />Thank you all for taking out time for this.<br /><br />This lady who inspired me to express myself and my thoughts through verses; let me tell you people every poetry that she has inspired I have sent it to her first saying this the incident or conversation that inspired the poem.<br /><br />People just one thing to say go ahead reach out to people who have touched your lives and inspired you and tell them that they have made an impact and difference. Am sure they will reciprocate positively. Let us not stay restricted in our own closely held and bound world that we have created that we ourselves find it difficult to reach out to people or allow other to enter our world.<br /><br />And by the way we are best buddies now and we feel our friendship and connect is eternal. Advantage of this ..... she is looking out for a chick for me to get hooked to I mean married to.... and everything in between.... ha ha <br /><br />Hope the message is clear<br /><br />I am single<br />More than eager to mingle<br />Can run around trees and sing a jingle<br />Baby your emotions I can tingle<br /><br /></span></span>Raja Sanyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14589619820155254267noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033729495131563643.post-34842650480535937642009-08-16T17:09:00.000+05:302009-08-16T17:12:27.841+05:30It's not me , it's you<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Another poem reflecting the subtle love and the tingling feel of romance that one goes through.... called it obviously "It's not me, It's you"<br /><br />"It's not me, it's you"<br /><br /></span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Its you it's not me<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When I wake up in the middle of the night just to smile<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When I drift away at work only to nod my head and hang it down n smile<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Its not me it's you<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When I<span style=""> </span>pray<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When am touched by the first sun rays<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Feel <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">your</st1:city></st1:place> hands in mine<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When I have no sense of time<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">It you it's not me<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">That makes me wait to hear from you<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Enjoy the pain as if its liberating<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Its not me it's only you</span>Raja Sanyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14589619820155254267noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033729495131563643.post-18556421222175881732009-08-16T17:01:00.000+05:302009-08-16T17:07:02.536+05:30Glance<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Okay people<br /><br />All those who I have shared some of my poems call me the eternal romantic..... so this Sunday afternoon let me share with you one my first romantic poems that I wrote not really with the intention of writing a romantic poem but trying to express exactly what I felt at that moment.

She that day again touched my heart with her mad ways and simplicity.<br /><br />So I left the meeting and sent her an sms which was more like a little prayer.<br /><br />"I pray to God that may you always rise like the soul that rises to unite with the spirit... if at all you fall may you fall like the waterfall for there is so much grace and dignity in its fall that it is a sight to watch"<br /><br />And I guess that was the starting point. I somewhere felt the need to express my emotions, feelings and thoughts in a coded manner which would be simple for people to uncode.<br /><br />So then since May 2, 2009 till date I have written more than 85 poems simply because everything I wanted to tell her or anything in the world that saw and touched me or influenced me ..... it simply flew as poetry.<br /><br />If I have to classify broadly the subjects I have written on it ranges from "Love and romance" to "Nature" to "Life and its philosophy"<br /><br />My inspiration to start this blog comes from my friends (I have not shared my poems with any male friends....... as I found that women really continue the conversation if you say you you write poetry ha ha ) who said I should publish them and put it all up on my blog.<br /><br />So going forward let me share a few poems that I have written..... let me know if you would like more of them.<br /><br />Cheers and God blessRaja Sanyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14589619820155254267noreply@blogger.com2
