Hasit’s Posterous

Bullets flying above my head,

The atmosphere is filled with hatred and dread.

Hours of toil, pools of blood,

Bomb shells lying scattered in the mud.

Standing in the midst of violence,

Hoping that the killing ends and there’ll be silence.

Thinking of the days when there was no fear,

Wondering when the dove of peace will spread it’s wings here.

I hope this land regains its lost calm,

And the people loiter fearlessly around.

Why don’t they work for peace as they fight in war?

After all, isn’t it peace that we all want?

In the afternoon, when I was standing near my window, two pigeons on the roof of the building opposite mine attracted my attention. What they were doing was totally alien to me, but it looked like mating. It's a sad thing that birds and other non-homosapiens have no proper place to call a 'bedroom'. And many 'thoughts' came to my mind. Never mind. We can talk about it some other time. Coming back to the topic; I moved closer to my window. It was getting interesting. The way one pigeon sat with a majestic posture and the way the other was trying to get onto the first one was amazing to see.

Just then, a third pigeon (probably male) entered the scene. It came close the 1^st male and tried pushing him off the female. And he even seceded in his task. The 1^st male made a loud sound. I feel it was the pain of separation from his love. Furiously they both started fluttering their wings and (I guess) started hitting each other. A punch there and a flying wind attack here. Both showed off their fighting skills and tried to impress the female. The fight continued for some more time. Some more muscles were flexed and some more feathers were shed.

"Hi honey. I was hoping that you would come. Those freaks were bugging me." would the female pigeon have said while taking off towards the 3^rd male pigeon on the adjoining roof. "Let's go home." replied the 3^rd male. And they both departed the scene leaving the first two pigeons in total bewilderment.

I somehow came across posterous, and I instantly fell in love with it's simplicity. How much more simpler can things get than posterous? I decided to then make this blog. I have been blogging for a while at ME Within.

I am Hasit Mistry. A resident of Mumbai, India. To know more about me, go visit ME Within. You may be wondering what "Ello" is. Well, it's just my style of saying "Hello". Don't worry. You'll get accustomed to this crap in some time if you keep visitng my blogs.

As my other blog is about my life, on this blog, I will be writing about the philosophical thoughts of my mind and the not so pholosophical ones too.

So keep visiting this blog. I will be updating it soon.
