Masquerading silence




Hidden behind those fenced cages, lies a dragon of truth,
That weeps fire for me to drown,
Lay those in its belly that fed the behemoth,
When the men in green, hung on to the bells of a forgotten temple.

With a piece of metal, used by a butcher,
I knew behind the lighted screen, was a dragon,
Far ferocious than the dwarfed horror shown in my room,
The world sat, and watched in a truth that was doomed.

Like the pin drop, it blew again, in those agonizing hours,
To say, I was lost, I would not lie, to say, I was afraid, I would not lie,
Righteous were those men hanging on in green,
As were those behind the scene.

Like the allies of 1939, like the Jew in a Nazi camp,
Came back the time, when I wanted them to be stamped,
With the blood of those, who had nothing to do,
With the bodies of those, that lay silent...

With the tears of those whom the dragon had gulped,
The blood and tears would still be a less to heal,
Of what I have lost, in the mangled steel,
But I know, your god and my god.

Because he will come tomorrow with me,
In time, to unlock the misery that awaits your dragon.
And my silence is just another indicator,
Of the storm that will saber your dreams of an evil time...

Marketer's Job: Showing the money

A marketer's biggest dilemma is a client who misunderstands his service. " A writer who is in a hurry to be understood today or tomorrow runs the danger of being misunderstood the day after tomorrow ." ~ Johann G. Hamann Most of the times marketers face the challenge of being misunderstood. During the days when I was part of a startup, I felt that even if I'd break my head, the client will not really understand what my firm was offering and the benefits it gave.

Australian Media on Border Gavaskar Series

The Australian coach Tim Nielsen backed Ricky Ponting for using his part time bowlers for pacing up the slow over rate. But the Australians atleast the media wasn't in a mood to oblige. Remember the 2005 Ashes? He clearly made an error by attempting to increase the over rate last night in Nagpur when he should have been using his best bowlers at a point in the match where the test could be won. Alan Border was dumbstruck and many former players have shaken their heads in amazement that he seemed more interested in avoiding a one match ban than winning the test. The country awaits Ponting’s response. The Australian November 10, 2008 Although there were words of praise for the debutant spinner Jason Krejza who wove magic(although costly) and almost spun the whole Indian side in the first innings of the fourth test at Nagpur.
