An Empty Canvas

Sitting alone in a Darkened Corner,
I gazed @ an Empty Canvas that spilled;
Intuition from my Heart
I wanted to fill the colors of my Life,
but couldn't explain the Path.
Commanded to Solution,
After contemplating a span of my Past,
I experienced the damned Life;
and came to know the Reality -
There is nothing more than just
Blank as an Empty Canvas...

Suddenly I grew up with a thought about
The Existence that this Canvas had and that
A person can sketch anything on it -
never thinking about what that Canvas Wants.
Does it want to contemplate as they Want?
No, nobody Cares for that;
The only thing they Care about,
is their Own Fake Emotions.

I started feeling downhearted
for the poor Empty Canvas -
as poor as me.
Just with distinction that;
Poor Canvas can't verbalize which I can do,
but remain incapable to vocalize Emotions...

And so with Empty Determination,
My Life stays as Blank
as this Empty Canvas.

Gautam Adani felt safe in Taj toilet

AHMEDABAD: He is Ahmedabad's only dollar billionaire and much of his riches have come from Gujarat’s coast. As the chief of the country’s largest export house, who also runs the country’s biggest private port at Mundra in Kutch, nobody would value the importance of marine security more than Gautam Adani. 

But life decided to still put him through an ordeal to reinforce this belief. Adani, the chairman of Adani Enterprises Ltd, was at The Taj in Mumbai on Wednesday. The gunfire started at around 9.50 pm when he was in a Taj restaurant, having dinner with the CEO of Dubai Ports, and saw the terrorists from 15 feet away. He also hid himself in the kitchen and the toilet for hours together before coming out safe at 8.45 am on Thursday. 

Adani now knows for sure Gujarat needs to be on the alert, having a 1600 km coastline, within hand-shaking distance of Karachi. If Adani, Mukesh Ambani and Shashi Ruia today figure in the top-ten rich list, they have to thank the Gulf of Kutch where they have made massive investments and are getting handsome returns. Fine, we have the Indian Navy and coast guards but that is not enough protection against desperados. 

What happened at the Gateway of India should only serve as an eyeopener. Despite the place being so crowded, the rubber boat just cruised to a stop at the jetty and out walked about 10 young men with bulky backpacks and walked nonchalantly towards their assigned targets, even as the local people just gaped at these smartly-dressed youngsters thinking they were regular college guys. 

Gujarat may want to forgive and forget the 2002 riots and be lulled into complacency. But then, others believe the riots haven’t been avenged enough, even after July 26 serial blasts which killed 57 persons. 

For a change, if Gujarat is not alert enough, terror could target an oil refining hub in Gujarat located just next door.
