BallHomes

Hi,

I came across this website - http://www.ballhomes.com/. As a marketing enthusiast, I liked one particular point on this website. The fact that they avoid the shifting of home twice is what I find most attractive. When you study marketing you are told that the more the value you provide to the customer, the more will be customer satisfaction. http://www.ballhomes.com/ handles the responsibility of selling your old home and will help you close the negotiation on the same day you purchase your new Ball Home. Another interesting point is the fact that http://www.ballhomes.com/ concentrates on only one state - Kentucky. It is debatable whether such restriction might halt the future growth of the company. But, concentrating on one particular locality will definitely help the company provide better service to its customers.

Streetwalker

I was walking down the road
in a strange mood, bored
as cars honked 'Pom pom'
I followed no norm

I was irking everyone
blocking every turn
I laughed my heart out
I heeded no shout

I was tickling my inside
not letting a happy ride
I made them stand by
and jus killed their joy

I jus like to have fun
you seem to be the wrong one
honking shouting crying
I'll be this till I am dying... ha ha ha....

Rat Race

I cry every day over my fate
that has not given me
the fame of the winner
the money of the sinner
the respect a legend claims
the attention a champion gets

There were moments in my life
when they did touch me
as I tried to grab them
they escaped from my grip
like thin air
those moments still remain
in my memory

Can I get back there?
Do I need to? Has
my purpose changed?
Have I changed?
GOD gives me no answers
the questions prick my conscience
that delves on the guilt
built over the remains
of the confusion
over the minutes wasted

HE shows me the sufferings
of the world and tells me
from inside -
"They are my children too,
they too deserve the bread you eat
they too need the clothes"
As the words prick my conscience
and I suffer from guilt
built over my helplessness
the legs that can move
the hands that can touch
the eyes that can shed tears
are bound by the jealousy
the peer pressure that pushes me
to mount the everest never reached
and wave to the crowd
as the brethren who needed my attention
bury deep in misery

Blessed are those
who found a way out
out of the rat race
the stinking stupid despicable hunt
to build castles
over the remains of the needy

An Attempt

Hi,

I just read this article and thought I should write something. Below is an attempt:

Lost in the pace of life
mourning over someone else's gain
jealous to the core
wearing the mask of competitiveness
I kill the world
unaware of the harm I do
the cars I buy
the hours I ride


I lost my love for the air
the air that lets me live
I pollute it
and throw the blame
on to the government
that runs politics politically
onto the corporate
that runs its business
what am I doing?
dying a martyr's death?
or living a coward's life?
where lies the solution?
At the policy level?
Or at the grass roots level?


the solution lies with us
with each one of us
live we should our ideals
at least a few of them
and spread the word
to those who listen
world is not dead
until there is love
and care and compassion
until there are people
who die to let others live
people who spread cheer
who spread the message
that believes in the belief
that life lies beyond the lies we live

Never Blind

Never blind I was in my heart
never was I crippled in my thought

My eyes can't see, my heart sure can
feel the nature and its beauty hidden

Sing I can with my heart divine
the song written by my purest mind

Pure you should be deep within
live not blind with your eyes open

Soul Transcended

He said to the Guru '
I confess I sinned
I lied to the world
I misbehaved with children
I raped females
I killed people
I ate the flesh
I sought pleasures despicable
I deserve to be punished
to be cut to pieces
by the sword of God
I deserve to be humiliated
beaten out of breath
stoned till death
Hey Guru! The disciple of God
Bestow upon my head thy sacred foot
and crush me beneath the sand
send me to the hell I deserve'

The Guru spoke 'I bow to thee
pure soul is thine
that accepts with utter humility
the sins it committed
the material life it lived
the meaningless material life it has given up
the soul that has ascended
the highest summit surmountable
that has placed itself to sacrifice
in repentance of the sins committed
past is the life lived
All I can do is bow in front of thee
forgive I can't the divine present in you
blessed is thy soul transcended'

Meditation

All my life I asked myself
what is the purpose of life
should I have a goal to attain
to reach the unreachable summit
to save the planet from forces evil
to spread His message among people
why should I live?
to rearrange the pieces on the planet
and build a palace of dreams?
to heal people? to serve them
to give them a helping hand in the hour of need?
Is this why I am born?


All these create commotion in me
they agitate me they make me want to shout
they make me want to cry out loud
I wish to sit in silence and help myself
I wish to help myself fight out the commotion
the agitation - the wish to cry out loud
I wish to sit in peace under the tree
of enlightenment and relax to prepare myself
for another war that needs to be waged
the war is what is the purpose of life
that is what the world makes me think
as I relax and meditate, I give up thoughts
I give up desire - the commotion
the agitation caused by attachment
to that which never belonged to me
I gave up the purpose that never was one
I sat in silence under the bodhi vriksha
seeking in silence, in deep contemplation
the true purpose that made life meaningful
as I searched for the meaning of the meaning


enlightenment dawned upon me
the path is the destiny
the silence the end of the war
was never the means to wage the war
the war you fight to attain peace
should die the suffering should end
the deepest of your self belongs to none
you are not the shallow you
that sees with eyes, lusts for the skin
that finds happiness in dollars
the depth is deeper
yet to be explored, to be explored by you
the ocean of joy is there for you to swim
the contentment in sacrifice
the freedom in commitment
are all yours - the qualities divine

Life ends

Silence so gross
violence in the eyes
breath sharp biting
thoughts ignited
feelings suppressed
yet silently expressed
expressed the best
as air filled the chest
lips closed n dry
nose sharp n pointed
forehead scarred
ears fuming red hot
hands trembling
ready to kill
with authority
he sucks in air
looks up with rage
tongue dances
and with a striking force
lashes the whip
life ends

Open up

Open up, tell me the truths
tell me the lies you lied
tell me the life you lived
I wanna see, I wanna hear
I wanna feel the feelings you feel
that you do not reveal
Tell me the moments that made you live
live life to the fullest measure
to the measure unmeasurable
reveal thyself, reveal thy heart
reveal the heart inside thy heart
tear open thy wounds
wounds that kept you wound
that never let you open
that never let you sleep
let them rest, speak up

Open up the windows
the windows that have bound you
the windows tight that make you stink within
open them, let the fresh air in
it won't choke you, it won't kill you
it will heal you and it will fill you
unlock yourself, unwind yourself
a hearty smile is what you need
do not hold tight
to the dearest of your secrets
uncover them, reveal them
and celebrate the happiness the joy
of living naked

Srini Quotes

There is no end to love
there is no beginning
when did your Mom start loving you
when will she stop
what ends is not love
what starts is not love
love is eternal
You always had love
You live in love, you die in love
What you call love is just a game
A game of infatuation
A game of egoes
Love is what you are
Love is your very nature
