I amaze myself so regularly, that I loose my bearings.
I wonder about myself so much so, that I confuse reality.
I fool myself so well, that I loose identity.
I laugh on myself so hard, that I start crying.
I admire myself so that, I can admire you better.
I am that, so are you.

The Amusement Park
Recently, while talking on the phone, my friend showed a keen interest in visiting this new mall/amusement park, which had a scary tunnel ride; the sort in which a cart goes through a tunnel with all sort of mechanical/ghostly creatures shooting out of no-where with lots of shrieks and loud noise. While on the subject, she quipped "Darne ke liye log paise dete hai" (People pay to get scared). Amusing words, but one that reflects so well on our day to day life. The roller-coaster of a life. Pay, stand in a long Que and wait our turn, for the best rides. And finally when our turn comes, experience those fleeting moments of joy, and before long its all over. "Bada darr laga, bada mazza aaya" (It was very scary, it was so much fun). "Phir se jana hai" (I want to go again).
As long as one enjoys the rides, the creation of the Park serves its purpose.
As long as..... Over heard a conversation between a boy and his father. "Dad, I'm feeling sick because of all the rides." "OK son, lets get you back home."
All taking our rounds in the scary tunnel and confirming it as reality to each other. All seemingly amused in one big Amusement Park.

Ownership !
He flies and he soars, when he hears the crowd roar.
They chant his name, he wants much more.
He is full and proud at who he is,
Savor it all, not a moment to miss.
He has achieved a lot, and he wants the world to know,
Hiding all else, just his precious collections on show.
With the ownership of the achievements and the few wonders,
Comes the heavy bag, holding his many blunders.
Hiding the mistakes takes all mind and might,
Known only to him, for the rest its out of sight.
It’s a pretty picture that he has painted,
Though in the corner lies the brush, messy and tainted.
