Forgotten Acquaintances

 




Deep down your heart have you ever taken an inward journey to find out about yourself ? We take pride in knowing so many things about almost everything. In the digital age nothing seems far. The world and the universe appears to be so much familiar to us but we  remain aloof from knowing and acquainting our own self. The other day I heard from a techno savvy person that Google knows you more than you know about yourself. I pondered for a while and agreed with what he said. Looking at Alexa I thought about a new relationship between human and machine. We are outsourcing most of our work to the machine and parting away with many of our skills .Our new acquaintances with machine learning, playing and working have filled the vacuum of the best buddy in our life. It has also conquered our brain leaving it unemployed  with most of its activities. Over the time we have turned our oldest acquaintance our shadow as the stranger seldom we look at it. Slowly and steadily this machine acquaintance has cloned us into a humanoid.

Still the nature beckons us to come back and relax in its never ending jocund(cheerful) company.

The Pristein Ring Master : A circus called the world

But soon, the strongman gave a stern look to the tightrope walker . The magician tried to douse the fire breather’s flame. The clowns — once beloved — entered the ring, And played the worst trumpet known to fame. Their friendly tussle turned too real, Peace, to them, was an unfunny deal. As with world leaders who, too, reject stillness, Addicted to noise, chaos, and the ringing of cash registers. Amid the uproar, the absence of the Ring Master was deeply felt. A cry rose from the crowd — where was he? Behind the dark curtains, a shadow stirred, And from it emerged the Ring Master, finally. With a whip crack and silent grace, Even the furious clowns froze in place. Normalcy returned, laughter r...

The Gini and Me

The Gini and Me I once opened a bottle and a gini came out. The stories I believed as a child melted quietly in my youth— never real, yet never forgotten. As I slided toward maturity, AI gripped the world around me. I want to bottle AI. Remove it, use it, pack it again and again— like a tool, not a tether. Let me feel the wind with skin, not sensors. Let me fail, foolishly, and laugh with no algorithm watching. Let me look as I am— with no filters. Let me be a human— with a brain and a beating, perseverance spider.

Essence of life

A contemplative poem on life journey. Essence of life lies in moving on — from stages of attachment to detachment , desires to nothingness , compulsion to repulsion , selfishness to generosity , darkness to enlightenment , fakeness to authenticity , certainty to uncertainty , vocal to silence — and sometimes, just being an observer and not being judgemental.
