Beauty in randomness..or even the other way around


Whether its beauty in randomness or randomness is beauty is one and the same thing.. there is an explicit beauty in the random things which one chances to notice upon.. the haphazard random way the wild flowers grow over an equally tumbled down wall... or the random way the slum houses look from far away like they are a card castle (of course many might not think so.. but i really marvel that they hold their ground without toppling down by the breeze) a random smile on someone’s face, the frothing waves which emerge randomly from the sea and hit the shore creating nature's art on the sand, the cracks on glass which are seemingly random but yet create patterns (from a cracked mobile screen i have to look into every day!), the random way all the books and things around my room are kept (though this point is strongly opposed by ma.. again i have an anomalous concept for beauty).. such a concept was displayed by an artist in some art museum in Paris.. a room full of scattered rubbish right from tickets to thermocol to plastic bags were all scattered around.. we mistook it to be a room under cleaning but on enquiring was found that it was a work of art!! After all those years this came back to my mind that may be what the artist did want to convey was random things indeed has an appeal of its own.. and may be just may be modern art is about random strokes and thoughts creating a whole new picture (yes, i am still trying to come up with an explainable meaning for modern art)

And now that i got talking about randomness... may be fate is disguised randomness.....

net of hope



Dots on clear canvas of water..
Braving the vastness i sail...
I sail for hunger, for the love of sea..
As my net of hope descends gracefully
Entrapping a dome of dreams as it touched the wrinkled water..
I pray... i pray for enough to feed the many mouths
To see the honey smiles for the tiny gifts i bring
With a twist and tug i pull the catch of wriggling wishes
A death of one linked to the life of the other...
I fish the catch and march into the din of noise....
And again its dawn
As the sun shines a new light
I set out for the sea with my net of hope.....
