I write at times, and whenever I do, I try to experiment with my work. Monotony kills me. Read on, you will know why the blog is called the 'winds of change'.

UP AND DOWN

Yes I think I know what I may do.
So paint the town red and the sky blue?

Surely not so, the artist in me spoke.
Splattering colors is not a joke.

The world looks like a canvas to me.
With dreams and spirit set free.

Red Cherry, Yellow Pumpkin,Green Grass, Blue Sea.
Oh Look! How pretty they be.

Ordinary men and women, or extraordinary bat and ball.
Painting puts life in all.

(Footnote : Now read it in a reverse order - start with the bottom-most line and end with the top-most line. Its a poem nevertheless. An ambigram poem is what I call it.)

AND IT CONTINUES...

Julia : Zen philosophy is brilliant. I am in love with it. Just so you know, the whole point of Zen practice is to become fully aware, here and now. Meditation is one of the ways to attain that state.

Roger : Yes yes. Truly interesting (clears throat). Hey tell me something, is mediation also the reason for the healthy glow on your skin? (chuckles)

Julia : Xerif has spoken! Oh I am so blessed. Thanks so much for the kind words (rolls eyes).

Roger : Whatever that means. So what’s for dinner?

Julia : Vegetables!

Roger : Usually, we eat fish on Tuesdays. Don’t we?

Julia : There is no fish in the freezer. So, can’t help it.

Roger : Sure. And why do you have to get all grouchy suddenly?

Julia : Reason would be..umm..yes here - For the umpteenth time, you were sarcastic!

Roger : Queer. I just asked a plain question. Is meditation doing well to your skin!

Julia : Predominantly that meant “Why exactly are you wasting time on meditation?”

Roger : Oh! I so did not realize that. Anyway, let’s eat something. I am famished!

Julia : No! Not unless you apologize to me!

Roger : Me? Apologize? For what?

Julia : Like I said before, I dint like your behaviour. How about saying sorry for that?

Roger : Karma can be a real bit*h (murmurs). Sorry Ma’am!

Julia : Jesus! You just don’t stop making fun. Do you? Go away!

Roger : I shall go away. Most certainly. But can we not eat something before that?

Julia : Heights! Forget it! Why am I even spoiling my temperament and health for a trivial issue like this! Let me just calm down. I guess I am being irritable for no reason. There is after all fish in the freezer. Let me cook it for you.

Roger : Gracias! Finally, you accept your mistake! You are such a doll. Love you girl!

Julia : “Finally, you accept your mistake?” What?

Roger : Exactly! It’s alright. It’s fine.

Julia : Do you not hear the disbelief in my tone? Mistake? Me? Are you kidding me? I was just being good to you. I don’t like to pick fights. But okay. Looks like someone wants to extend the argument. Go on Roger! Pour your heart out. The “doll” is listening!

Roger : Crap! There you start again. I will watch TV! Yes! Woo hooo!!

Julia : Bah! Why do I even talk! I am not talking! There, I said it. I am not talking to you anymore.

Roger : Amen!

(Footnote : Do you notice some pattern? ;) Its not the tone of the conversation, but has got something to do with the way the dialogs have been written :))

THE WAIT

The day slips away,
As the night waits patiently at the bay.
You know there is no other way,
How you wish you had one more day.
