Copenhagen Climate Change Summit

All of us read the 100s of articles, have watch programs after programs on global warming and knew what climate change meant to our environment and to the future of our planet. We wanted to unit to agree upon some action items to control the warming at Copenhagen. Now, after the summit, we have all read the news. What have we learned from this? That after almost 7000 years of civilized living (the first civilizations started emerging between 4000 and 3000 BC), we have failed to unit and agree upon something so critical that it could lead us right to our own end. After this long a time as a civilization all we have is fear in our heart for one-another. We speak of unity, peace, freedom, love, truth etc as if we understand all of those and have a great idea as to how important they are to all of us and that we strive to be a race with all of that. But, for once when we get a chance to show that we, the most intelligent species on the face of the planet, can act as one, can unit and come to a consensus, we fail! We just can’t seem to trust one another. We have grown into a hate filled and non-trusting civilization.

We can agree and unit as smaller groups but when we all need to unit, we are not sure.  I think, we have been living in an environment that so strongly believes in diving us and making us feel different from the rest of us, that we are hesitate to unit. We unit to fight as smaller like minded groups, sometimes with no regard to borders or barriers created by countries, religions, communities etc. But when it comes to uniting as a race, the entire human race, we still need time, we are too deep into that state of mind that, tells us “I first need to see how everything that I agree to do, affects me and everything that I hold dear before I can see how it affect my environment as a whole”. It’s a paradigm shift for our thought process. I do believe we’ll get to the state of mind where we unit and work together for greater good, I just hope it’s not too late by the time we get there.

Watchmen: Meaning of Life?

This is a dialog from Watchmen between Lori and John or Dr Manhattan. To understand this dialog you need some back ground.

Dr. Manhattan is required on earth, he is needed to stop the nuclear war that is about to start, while he is on a exile on Mars. Just before the first event that is about to trigger the war he comes back to earth and takes Lori, his love, to Mars to have him convince to save earth. In his dialog with Lori he says that life has no meaning, so whats the point in saving it? He asks her, how does life change anything in this universe, how does it make things better for earth? And then how shows her, her past events that lead her to realize her real father was the man who initially tried to rape her mother. The man she thought was sick and that her mother hated was her real father. Which is when she breaks down and is weeping like a little kid. That's when he says this:


Dr. Manhattan: will you smile, if i admit i was wrong.
Lori: about what?
Dr. Manhattan: miracles! that's what's astronomical odds of occurring link. oxygen turning into gold. I've longed to witness such an event and yet I neglect that in human coupling. millions up on millions of cells compete to create life, for generation after generation until, finally, you mother loves a man; Edward Blake, the comedian! a man, she has every reason to hate and out of that contradiction against unfathomable odds, its you, only you; that emerged to this still so specific form, from all that chaos. it's like turning air into gold. a miracle! and so i was wrong! now wipe you tears, let's go home!

What's so great about this dialog? One, it's the most romatic of dialogs I have ever heard. I think it's the best thing a man can ever say to a women, well actually, it's the nicest thing any person can say to another person. Two, just see what Dr. Manhattan is saying. He is saying that at an objective level all of life has no meaning. But, with love for Lori in his heart, he can see the significance of life. So, he accepts to save the world. What's strikes me the most in this dialog is the subtle message that he is trying to convey, "life has no meaning when looked at with objectivity, but it means a lot more than one can comprehend when you look at it with subjective eyes".

Just Words?

I close my eyes and all I see is you,
I stretch my hands out and your touch feels like dew.
Those beautiful lips and that flawless smile,
I want to kiss you and hold you like you were a child.

Your soft black hair and your skin so fair,
Your face shines like the moon, a nightly glare.
Those deep dark eyes, so juvenile,
How I want to dive into them and be lost for a while.

I want to be with you, it'd feels so great,
You'd fill me with joy, every moment would be a treat.
You'd be the beauty that shall rule my heart,
I truly feel this way and from these feeling I shall never part.

These are not just words on a paper,
They are the tears of a lonely heart longing for a pamper.
To see you happy is all I desire,
To fulfill this, with God and the Devil, I shall conspire.

In body and in soul, I am defeat,
With this I lay my heart at your feet.
You may choose to save it or for death it shall plea,
Either way you'll always be special to me,
For your memories will never fade till the day I cease to be.

The Little Monster

I wish I could apologize,
I wish you would realize,
For you, how much I care,
And that you are my only desire.

I know I made a mistake,
I wish I could tell you I don't fake,
If only you knew the truth,
If only I could make myself worth.

I didn't want to, I had no choice,
But to protect you from my inner voice,
Inside me is a notorious monster,
Who feeds on your polite and good gesture.

He is destructive in nature,
He ruins all that I hold dear,
He manipulates and never let’s me be on my own,
Since I’ve known you I’ve been fighting him alone.

Deep inside, he is just a little kid,
I made a mistake I opened the lid,
It was too much freedom for him to handle,
I'm now trying to put him back under the buckle.

I had almost lost this battle,
I needed to turn his efforts futile,
Poisoning your mind was the only way,
To stop his nourishment, to let him fade away.

I hurt you in this process,
But my inner self was posses’,
I wish I had it in me to fight him,
I wish I stood on stronger limbs.

You hate me now and that I can never change,
I'm glade I knew you for whatever little time range,
And I thank you for being so polite all this while,
In my heart I shall always cherish your beautiful smile.

A Poem

Sitting here at my desk,
I decided to write a poem,
What should it be about,
Waiting for an idea to sprout.

Couldn't think of anything,
Started writing about poems,
Wanted to write something sensible,
This isn't bad, its definitely comprehensible.

I could have written better,
But writing poems isn't easy,
It's not just about rhyming,
It must be sensationally pleasing.

Rhyming it makes it readable,
The subject makes it purposeful,
Right combination makes it yum-yum,
That's something one would call "A Poem".

[I know this sucks, but as you can see I am trying really hard ;)]

Jingle all the way, It's Adri's B'day


Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way,

Today’s Adriana’s Birthday; I feel so, Happy and Gay.


Adri is so cute,

Her beauty turns me into a mute.

One look at her picture makes that moment absolute.


Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way,

Today’s Adriana’s Birthday; I feel so, Happy and Gay.


She’s a geminite,

Every aspect of her is a delight,

She's a goddess who came down the heavens, a ray of light.


Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way,

Today’s Adriana’s Birthday; I feel so, Happy and Gay.


Today’s her birthday,

It is 12 days past the month of May,

If she and I turned into kids, we would run around and play.


Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way,

Today’s Adriana’s Birthday; I feel so, Happy and Gay.


I wish I could be there,

To share the warmth of her b’day, I swear,

I would do anything to see her smile with absolutely no despair.


Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way,

Today’s Adriana’s Birthday; I shall always be Happy and Gay.
