Green Sapphires!!!

Green Sapphires......
The name of my blog. When I chose this name for my blog I wanted to have a name which can withhold and express the paradox in my beliefs and ideas. Being paradoxical is the first characteristic of an Aquarian; and I am that to the core.

Sapphires - the blue stones. Though they are present in several colours like yellow, pink and orange; the predominant color is blue. But why green with it. I mean I wanted to show contrast....then is green opposite of blue?? Why did I assume that??

Blue- the colour of sky and the earth; the colour of water
Green - the colour of land(grassland).
Blue - the symbol of purity
Green - the mark of sinister

Somewhere along the line we have been filled with prejudices. The assumption that green is bad and blue is good; assumption that a new moon is sinister and full moon good(though Lord Krishna was born on a new moon); that black is the colour of witches and white of angels(have we ever seen either?).

These assumptions sometimes occur with greater significance like Muslims are terrorists; Bengalis are lazy and Biharis are rule-breakers; Indians are unpunctual and foreigners are rich.

Are we really bound to live with these prejudices? Can't we face everything and everyone with an open mind and make the judgement ourselves?

Why not? Won't it be easier and...for the better?

Tired!!!

Tired!!!! Do you feel sometimes.... too tired to continue??
To do what you do everyday...to do what everyone does...
Too tired to be practical and oriented... to do whats useful and right...
To run fast so as to beat the crowd.. to keep your eyes wide open lest you fall asleep...
Too tired to sit alone..... and too tired to be in the crowd...
To run a mile... to save a smile..... to hold your voice...to make a noise..

Everything everywhere seems worthless and effort-full ...
Why is it so?? Why do i feel so?? Why do i want so??
To lie on the grass....and close my eyes...
To feel the dampness of the ground below....
or to see the vastness of the sky above....
To wander aimlessly through the dark....
To sleep after dawn.....or not sleep at all....
and when sleep fear nothing at all....
To live life as today you were born ...
And to enjoy it as today you have to die...
To wonder at the raindrops...
to smile at the passers-by....
To give a blind beggar a vision of the street he lives in everyday....
To drop a chocolate in the bag of a crying child....
To do things which have no meaning.....
And to do things noone will know you did...

To live for not only you ...but the whole world..

Its when you are tired.....dead tired!!!!!
