Redistribution of days

Friends, enemies and frenemies:

Today is the last day of April. Grab the day by both your hands. Next year you may not get 30th April at all. I'm told that the Calendar committee of the United Nations is going to redistribute the days of the months from next year. This will be for the reason that folks put in equal effort in all months. 

For starters, April will be reduced by a day and that day will be added to February. So, both the months will be of equal days. Equal effort in both months for folks to earn their bread. There is one more suggestion that is floating around: remove 1st April and add to February. That is, April starts from the 2nd. That way, we would have removed All Fools Day from our Calendar and still serve the purpose of redistribution of days.

The Z axis

The picture below was taken by my friend Rakesh Vohra a few days ago, during Australia's autumn. The picture has been reproduced here with his permission. It is a remarkable picture composition. The sky has this Z axis written all over it. There is even an arrow pointer to the right of the Zed (Zee, if you are an American) axis name, showing the positive side of the Z axis. The earth below is the x,y plane, with many coordinate points in the form of bonsai trees. The remarkable thing is the unsaid things: the heart, and the head therein.

The earth is the first and second,

Sky is the third dimension,

The sky is the z axis,

Earth's is the x and y

The earth holds the heart in place,

And the sky holds the head high.

Focus on your heart throbs

 

Focus on your heart throbs,

And you will know

When your love is near,

And, who is dear.

Ink is ephemeral, voting ink is not

The lady is requesting for a bottle of the ink in a polling booth to apply to her hair

Because the dye that is available in the market does not last even for a month whereas this ink will last for nearly 4 months! 

I've kept faith

 

I've kept faith:

In country, Guru, and God.

And it has worked.

How the leap year saved the world

 

If 2024 were not a leap year, today (12 April 2024) would be Friday, the 13th. Rest, all of us are wise enough to understand the implications. Of course, some are wise, some are otherwise. 

Another Chance

 

I was too hurried to touch you

When I roamed the Milky Way, my stars,

I was too worried and didn't caress you,

When I sped past you, marigold fields,

I scampered and scurried, before your drops

Could drench me with love, my first rains,

And, I was too drenched to ask for more,

When you loved me just a little,.

Will you give me another chance?
