The royal dialogue

Posted on Dec 5th, 2007 by Vijay : The Connector Vijay
The whole world trembles at my sword,
Kings and armies wait on my word.
I possess every skill known to man,
No-one can defeat me, try if they can.

O sage, you are not even half my size,
yet they say, you are strong and wise.
What have you done that I haven't?
What can you do that I couldn't?

O king of kings, you have great power,
History will remember you, for ever.
Your valor has caused so much blood spill,
But, even for a moment, can you sit still?

Can you hear the sound of silence?
Or feel the grass grow?
Can you always be happy, like a child?
Even when left alone, in the wild.

You've conquered everything thats outside,
But can you win self, thats inside?
Your aim, my king, is not to better me,
Its to win self, and be the best you can be.

Learning to drive

Posted on Dec 11th, 2007 by Vijay : The Connector Vijay

A B C


A for Accelerator
B for brake, C for Clutch
Me in school, again.


On the road

Behind the wheel
Every bus and lorry
Feels like death.

Uncomfortable questions

Posted on Dec 22nd, 2007 by Vijay : The Connector Vijay
Isn't it easy to smile, than frown?
To fight back, than give up and drown

Isn't it easy to love, than hate?
To create life, than leave it to fate

Isn't it easy to build schools, than army bases?
To live in harmony, than wipe out entire races

Isn't it easy to exercise, than be obese?
To eat carrots, than pizza and cheese

Isn't it easy to read a book, than talk ill?
To stay away, than take part in rumor mill

Isn't it easy to spread laughter, than terror?
To live and let live in peace, than horror

Isn't it easy to be easy, than tough?
To hug and kiss, than behave rough

Why then, do we insist on being difficult?
Can't we stand tall and proud, than sulk?
