The Radiant Writings of UV

Faulty wiring in your brain Can make go insane. And so much of being inane May lead to no disdain.

You try to cherish every beat of the heart, Every breath of the lungs, When you're ecstatic No sense bothers your mind, No cold stones to grind, Everything is charismatic You ride oceans and seas, Automatic, Thus, you're symptomatic No drug leaves you unhealed, No wound left to bleed, This so, like, melodramatic! As the phase recedes, So will the faith with fate, We shall stand-up and relieve the pain

僕たちの一生で色んな旅がある。この旅は運命を追求してる時の部分になってる。つまり、苦しさや失敗や成功などを加えてる旅の部分だ。でも、この旅は命である原の苗だよ！ 月明かりで歩いてる時、静かな村で友達と馬鹿のようにヒンディ語のボリウッド歌を口ずさむや笑うなどをするのは、いつもすることじゃないね！だから、その夜は特別になっちゃう。 最近、このような経験をガンジャドという小さな村で、今回のワォル・アート・フェステバル2014「わふ」で参加していた時、感じた。そこに、色んな感じと紹介できた。田舎の風、日本人の熱心、自然の美しさ、子供たちの清純ときれいなアート、全部加えて、素敵な思い出になった！ 都会に住んでる僕たちは、このような経験がいらないと思ってるね！これは、僕らの生活、仕事のストレス、山ほどの仕事のせいだと思う。だから、そのようなもっと新しいことをこの、余り長くない、一生で加えようね！ さて、「わふ」の経験はとても楽しかった！ 新しい 日本人の 友達 と 仲良くした。大事な決意をした。新しい 生 方を見つけた。仲間たちともっと近づいた！ とてもおいしいインドと日本料理も味わった！ そこで、僕たちの本当の仕事は、日本語やヒンディ語であるアーティスト・トークをマラティ語で通訳するだけではなく、他のボランティア仕事もあった。あれも、やっぱり楽しかったよ！ やがて、「わふ」の経験は、価千金で嘘のようで立派だって、一番最高だった！ 最後に、オカズさんとあっこさん、このような立派な イニシアティブで参加させてくれ て 、本当に有難いです！それに、日本から来たほかのボランティアたちにも仲良くして、色々と話してくれて、グループのメンバーのように参加させたから、ありがとうを伝えたい！ えだもんさんの料理も懐かしんでるよ！ 皆さん、本当にありがとうございました！ また、できたら、いつか会いましょうね！

Light fills the darkness, Staring up above at the glitter of the night. Lying on the grass, my heart thinks. Will the sun shine tomorrow? Will the moon gleam the same? Will the stars brighten the night sky? Will the seven color smile at me? Will the rains flood my streets? Will there be a delta where rivers meet seas? Will she be at the door? Or will she be long gone? Leaving my heart black!" I get up and start to walk, And before realizing, I start to talk. Oh! Lord high above! Let her be, let her be!! She is my soul, my eternity! My charm that I need! Let her be at my side! May we never part our ways!

Life is filled with journeys. The journeys are a part of our eternal search for destiny. It is the part of our route to destiny, which is also filled with hardships, failures, and successes. Further, the journeys toward our destiny are the seedlings of our wilderness. Walking in the moonlight, humming silly Rajashri Productions' songs or laughing at idiotic things with your friends in a quiet village scene is one of the most unprecedented events in most of our lives. It marks the specialness of the night itself. The most recent experience of mine was in a small village of Ganjad, which left me spellbound and satisfied. It was during the Wall Art Festival 2014, organized by a Japanese NGO. There I ended up interacting with a host of new emotions. The village air, the Japanese enthusiasm, the beauty of the nature, the innocence of the children, the beautiful art, all conjoined into one big bag of lovely experiences. In my knowledge, we city dwellers care less about these exp...

Love does not grow on trees, Neither does it flow in the water, Nor does it flow in the air. Love’s a bug. Bites you without a notice, Injects a sweet venom to bear. Spreads through your veins. Makes you blind and insane. No shot for it, no cure. Just euphoria, A sickness with a sweet pain. Sometimes with a long wait. Once you are bit, You are done for. Cannot settle down, It’s all you strive for. Its venom is a drug, Gets you addicted for life. No side effects, Unless you suffer a heart-break. Stays in you forever, If you behave. Leaves you, Only if you are brain-dead!

Life starts with a breath, And ends with one, too. A day starts with the sun, And ends with the moon. I know, I will meet you, It is going to be very soon. Even though, I don’t know you, Deary, you are my friend and lover. Once I meet you, I hope, we’ll never be over. You are my light, I shine off you. I am the moon, You are my sunlight. I am waiting for you, My unnamed friend. You’ll keep me breathing, Until the end.
