ithaca

i'm sure y'all r used to my sporadic updates by now ...

was reading Ithaca the other day ... i'm sure noone needs an intro to this one:

... always keep Ithaca in ur mind
to arrive there is your ultimate goal
but do not hurry the voyage at all
it is better to let it last for many years;
and to anchor at the island when u r old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage
without her you would have never set out on the road
she has nothing more to give you ...

check this out ... interesting the linkage to greek mythlogy ...

humming aloud

koi manchala jab pakad lega aanchal
zara sochiye aap kya kijiyega
laga de agar bhadke zulfon mein kaliyan
to kya apni zulfen jhatak dijiyega ...
huzoor is kadar bhi na itraa ke chaliye
khule aam aanchal na lehra ke chaliye ...
