Beautiful....kind of enigmatic.

sugar makes tea
sweet
like love life

haha..haiku. Heard it for the first time. It's fun.

Hello Sir,

If you find sometime can you please go thro'

http://braveheart-poetry.blogspot.com/

This is my friend's blog..He is a struggling
artist..Wants to do something in the creative field and is currently caught in the s/w industry.

If u really like his work, can you give some
suggestions as to how he shld be continuing
his struggle to succeed..

Thanks ,
Piyali

hey
how do the namesakes distinguish themselves from each other? I 'm also piyali. but not the one who has sent the above comment . i really dont appreciate selling myself on a blog of this kind , nor would i ask anyone suggestions on how to struggle for success? i find it all really ridiculous. so, please dont mistake me for the above Piyali. i guess i should start writing a different spelling and thats PEEYAHLI.
everybody has to find his/her own struggles and the ways to live them.

Hey,
Lets not get to calling names there Piyali! This space is a free space and everyone has the liberty to write as per one's wish. Lets not be judgemental about the same just because you and I don't agree with it. If someone should have any kind of problem with other people thn its Shekhar and not you and me. His status comes with its part and parcel but behaving with dignity is something that is least expected from us!
Shekhar,
Firstly, what does haiku mean? Sounds very interesting...You know the first thing that came to my head when I read this? The first thought was that I guess, he is checking himself in the mirror quite a lot of time these days! lol...sorry bt couldn't help being blatantly honest there!
Now when I seriously read it, it seems as if a child is very happy but is trying to cover his happiness. In his attempt of doing so, he has this smile on his face that is mystical, charming and innocuous but contradictingly mishievious. He has his smile hidden within layers of smiles...
Is the child indeed very happy? :)

Nikita

Hello Sir,
first time i hv seen ur blog & its really very nice...its been heartening to see u blogging it certainly helps people like us in motivating & inspiring.
Now about ur work...its a very thoughtful writeup
just a mingling of words but see how well it is mingled!!

my thought
caught
in it's own thoughts

my ego
caught
in it's own pride

my gaze
caught
in it's own introspection

A smile caught in a smile - reminds me of a laugh.

my eyes
free
my smile ...

P.S- not a haiku...

I always from
my point of view

Dear Mr.Kapur,

I hate to get technical when it comes to poetry, nonethless being a creative writer myself I would really like to understand the meaning of your haiku verse. Are you describing the unification of abstract and physical expression using 'smile' as your instrument, I'm not sure (?) I'm upto my hair in Haiku (for a workshop at school) and came across yours.

Would love to hear about where this verse came from....

Hello Mr. Kapur,

What an inspiring blog--it really makes me ponder wonderful new ideas each day and push my own creative spirit. If you get a chance please do read "Lost haiku" on my photoblog.

Thanks,

aditi, one moment i was looking at my image in the mirror and started to laugh as I wondered if the illusion was myself or the mirror image or both. And then I saw my smile in the mirror take on an identity of it's own. It had nothing to do with me, or my existence, for all it was, was a smile. As simple as that. It was no longer me smiling, but just a smile. The verse came from a realization of the seperation between the illusory self and the observatory self.

or so i think !!!

shekhar

seems like.............I am a Perception a real romantic illusion.........Love the way u write........specially liked the one titled Passion.

Shekhar,
So your Smile is like a net which catches smile only.. Wow beautiful…. I think every smile in this universe catches the smile only.
Imagine a world which is caught in such a net !!!!!!!
