L.P.M.

An illusive Dream,
Transcendental state;
The pleasure of Pain,
Dopamined brain.

The calm breeze,
Tranquility;
Immortality,
And Death.

Pink Floyd,
Adam's steroid;
Devil's win,
Sin?

By Jeshal (Gunajit Brahma)

A Few Wise Words

Tell all what you have to say,
But do not tell what you do not mean;
In Life, keep evil at bay,
But mind you, this will not help you remain clean;
Let in a smile to brighten your day,
But who said, the night has no sheen?

Eat good, work hard, sleep well,
Though the End will still not evade you;
Every time you fall in this Well,
Wrap your life in a Hope new;
You have a choice to make this Hell,
Though, Paradise, make a few.

Happiness…an Evasive Thing

Look for happiness,
Not in the money you earn,
Or the oil you burn,
In the smile of a child,
Or the treasure piled,
In the warmth of the Winter Sun,
Or blood of a nasty war won,
In the birth of life,
Or loss of your wife,
Hey! Look for it,
Search, just a bit,
In there, of you, it is a part,
Seated just inside your Heart!

Life…a Race???

Trampling over each other,
Once in a while, fixing a feather,
And polishing shoes of leather,
We are all running, know not where,
To find that out, we don’t care!

Money won is money lost,
Wearing wool just to get bitten in frost,
To see the future, an eye gear we wear,
But to face what may come, none of us dare!

We are born to die, we know that,
Yet between the two ends, we stunt a Director’s cut,
For us, Life is a game,
Reasons aplenty for blame, fame and shame!

A Child's World

The little babe toddled along,
one little finger in his mouth,
his tiny hand grasped in his mother's.

He tripped on a stone and stumbled,
and let out a long, indignant wail.

His mother gathered him into her arms,
and dried his tears with her kisses.

Then she stooped and hit the stone.
She scolded it hard for daring to trip her darling.

The child stopped wailing!
He climbed down back to the ground,
and slapped the stone with one tiny hand,
scolded it just the way mommy had.

And then, all troubles forgotten,
he reached back for his mother, climbed into her arms, and crooned,
one little finger in his mouth.

It is a child's world…
The world is His!

More Car Crashes Can Be because of Your Stars!

That might sound strange but that is exactly what is being claimed by an Australian insurance company AAMI, based on their AAMI Crash Index.

AAMI reviewed more than 212,000 insurance claims that it received nationally over the 2007 Zodiac year (Dec 22, 2006–Dec 21, 2007). The results are quite astonishing to say the least.

According to the index, Cancerian and Aquarian drivers had the highest claims incidence rate (CIR) of all AAMI-insured drivers.

Although Aquarians and Cancerians are protective, cautious and intuitive, when it comes to driving, their performances fall flat many times because of their moody and unpredictable nature, The Daily Telegraph quoted AAMI Corporate Affairs Manager Mike Sopinski, as saying.

He also said that of all the signs of the Zodiac, Librans and Virgos have the lowest CIR (14.9%) and are less likely than the average driver to have a crash-related claim, making them a safer risk from an insurance perspective.

On the flipside though the Librans car crash damage can be very high compared to other zodiac signs such as Aries whose average car damage claim was seen to be the lowest.

The review of the data by gender showed that Libran women are least likely to crash their car, while Cancerian and Piscean women are most likely to crash.

So all the Cancerians and Aquarians out there, next time when you hit the road…better watch out….
