Chemical Imagination heard the musical nitrate junk

A series of earthly happenings and a mixed bag of emotions, resurfacing from the hollow cylinders to severing guilt loaded associations,to keeping ego at some far away highland to losing father figures like lightening on a scorching summer day.
I am almost coming to believe the equation of life can never be for a moment be balanced, and I remember in the ninth standard I would take a lot of pride in the balancing the chemical equations and score a 10 on 10. And then life said,no we cannot let this happen. A lunatic was born and have been on the streets since then,looking for the right space where the sets for the dream production could be constructed.
But it was after dribbling with the ball for a while the quest seemed to suddenly have colours of grey and brown.
Who said it was easy to find the right creative space in a country were natural disasters are results of faulty constructions,where more then half the population lives under Rs.55 a day. There having the means to construct ideas which are more often than not mainstream is a difficult proposition. It is almost an impossible to compromise on work qualities and methods in terms of form,content,ethics and aesthetics. It is a better idea to keep trying to breathe fresh air than to breathe carbon monoxide to survive. If survival was in question, guess one would not have ventured into the pool of uncertainty. If the conviction is compromised the 25 year old journey would be meaningless.
The fact that the only resource called confidence dies under the utmost pressure of personal ramblings is an alarm that one is giving into the vacuum of self pity. The superpower somewhere has blessed some lunatics with support systems that rarely comes by. A family to be there through times of trouble,A soulmate with open arms through basics of life, and Friends who know you for whatever colour you are washed with. And strangers to fill up gaps of crisis.
It takes a lot to let go but it takes a little more to keep it all together,sometimes time heals it for us and sometimes the hope puts the puzzles together to create a new picture than how it looked like years ago.
Rock on reiterated it for me.

The film was an average film but it seemed to have stories that I was born with,characters I have lived with and would always fondly remember the magic they still create in my life.


But it strengthened my believe in the passion and madness,to go wrong,be abandoned and then come back.I hope my friend on the highway manages to hit the roads soon.


This is what he most recently showed the world-Ya Allah
Dearest You,excuse me but you have to kiss the sky!

I hope dreams also come alive as my dear lil miss muffet paws es for a thought.

I felt speechless to hear about the demise of my best friend's dad,it was too unexpected to withhold any reaction. I do not know what it takes to believe in deaths,maybe it helps to become numb to it. However much we say it was better than suffering,I wonder if it is as easy as that. My losses has been deep,the losses I see around are deeper,but if that vacuum can be lived with as if you have that person in the next room;it is often a source of inspiration and strength. Easier said than done but somewhere it does mean living with the hope that forever is not just a concept. But at the same time forever does pain at times. I do not remember right now how is it said or who said it but if it does not pain enough,there was never enough passion or dedication.And as per Silent emotions bond with me for the last twelve years,Anjan Dutt's priyo bondhu describes it the best......'Bhalo lage sopner mayajaal bunte,bhalo lage oi akasher tara gunte',(Love weaving the magic mesh of dreams, Love counting stars far away in the sky) that's how we started and we are still travelling through our paths,often converging,often getting lost in smoky December nights.Dear Silent Emotion,may you have all the strength to overcome when things are getting tough, I know this too shall pass.

The Dark Knight has left an indelible impression,it is difficult to believe that till date actors like Heath Ledger lives on. For a lot of people his overdose was a sign of weakness. I do not know what it was,I just know he defined dedication for me in a different gamut altogether.



As Joker says 'The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules', I go back to my chemistry test and realize the mystical line between reality and illusion.
To live through this conflict is a way of life.

wanted to msg this to u yes, but did not seem to have ur latest no

as one grows..the wild fire may give way to the steady warm spark. peace is about the warmth of that spark but never about it extinguishing and becoming cold..

so cheers to all our lives cause it will never loose the spark..however cheesy that may sound...love

the analogy in the appeal is definitely very interesting....
nyways a creator can never b a gr8 promotor hence the space is avaliable amply to those who explore and ambiguous to the otherwise.....
rock on dissapointed to the most obvious measure as it never was in competition with a mainstream commercial movie nyways and hence the expectations of the anticipating few were dashed big time....however it was a intelligent attempt ...it catered to a crowd beyond the age depicted in the movie....hence some misguided attempts wud follow suit....lets c
dark knights is almost a perfect example of the main protagonist watchin as a hapless bystander wat a stroke of absolute genius can do to history....heath definitely left a indelible mark of how batman or other superhero movies of the past and future will b compared to this one act.....

what i liked most about rock on was that it was more than just about friendship, more than just about music, there was just so much more.........

something that says a lot to me about heath's commitment to the character of joker was that this guy next to me in the hall exclaimed with complete shock "thats heath ledger???noooo" To adopt another character, one so complex.....wow! i hate the fact that we wont see him again.

certain changes in conviction/visions/passions does not necessarily mean that the journey so far was meaningless. sometimes, its a reconstruction for positive reasons

For one Rock On it did give all of us a hard knock and said wake up,do you know where you are headed?
One always does not need to have superpowers to become a superhero,it does not even entail being a hero in a script,it probably means 'put a smile on ur face'....and the amalgamation of all of this gave me a lot of strength to believe that every cloud bust could be a silver stream. There is a meaningful entailing to meaninglessness.
