SIGNS...A nice short movie

SIGNS is a short movie which was one of the winners of Cannes 2009. Directed by Patrick Hughes, the movie shows how feelings can be conveyed eloquently in silence. Such a small movie yet good enough to catch your attention . . .

Invictus

A poem by by William Ernest Henley (1849 - 1902 / Gloucester / England). It's a poem which inspires me every time I read it....

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

The Child In Me

I woke up one morning,
And looked at the mirror.
I looked back again,
Coz there was some error !!!



The face that looked back,
Did not look mine.
It was of a child,
No more than nine.



Looking at the face,
When I realized.
That all along,
I had been disguised.

Living a life,
filled with lies.
To know the truth,
Now my heart cries.



Lost in the world,
Of big words & big things.
Forgetting the pleasure,
That touch of love brings.




Being selfish throughout,
Looking for my gains.
While right by my side,
The world's full of pains.

Where is the world,

Of which I always dreamed?
Where all around me,

Smiling faces beamed.






All things that matter,
Come back to me.
When the child inside,
Looks back at me....
