Smokes and mirrors ,is a metaphor, that holds my attention.
A mirror reflecting a smoke, is a vague transmission of reality.
It portrays the visual perception,undermining the apparent proposition.
How many action that we witness bear a tinge of sincerity?
How many transactions that boast of genuinity , are really so?
How much talk that overwhelm in eloquence are orations of truth?
How many overtures of affection are exactly so?
Behind every deal, every move, every speech, every caressing touch ther is a hidden shadowy data.
The veiled advances may mislead, may misquote,may misguide the receiver.
Obama has talked inanger about the insurance companies procedures. He has precisely criticised their proposals of extending insurance claim as an eyewash.
Help and aid ,charity and philanthrophy are a disguised proclamations that enable Man to seek benefits and profits in a dignified manner.
They may also reflect a cover up of the sense of wrong, or guilt that Man has committed.
Smoke and mirror illustrate the state of society ,we are in.
The economy is under pressure.
Employment is under suppression.
The rich expose extravaganza.
The poor reel in poverty.
The governments of nations speak out that there is enormous growth in GDP.Inflation is contained is another common call of the rulers.How do they conclude?How do they calculate?
Three words give us a vast interpretation."Smokes And Mirrors"
An environment of uneasy calm persists.
GDP rise does not mitigate the suferring of the poor.

Bonus
Bonus has become a major issue . Materialistic world is much obsessed with money.
When the recession is making a rapid stride into the financial sector, creating a situation of gloom and scarcity, where does the issue of bonus comes in?
Bonus , is actually a gift provided by the company to its workers on the basis of service, experience and merit.
When the provider is in trouble, how can he extend a substantial offer?
Prosperity supplies propensity.
In good times, the company was generous in ite distribution.
The bad period demands frugality. It not only deems , but also could not afford a magnanimity.
If the receiver fails to understand this simple corelation, then the industrial climate will be in deplorable state.
A volunteer submission of a relative low percentage of bonus at times of down turn by the labour force , will promote a healthy environment.
Similarly , a willing acknowledgement ,of a high consolidation of bonus, at times of surge by the companies, will again propel a saliburious atmosphere.

Return Of The Native,
A year exactly has rolled on.My atmashruti was left with no care. I am back with a bang.
Many experiences have been left out.
Many happenings have not been recorded.
Many feelings have not been expressed.
An obsession ,which is unexplainable, had set inm
A preocuupation overtook the writing spirit.
The year that was, saw many ups and downs.
The economy has made a smart recovery,
Employment is still a taboo.
Nature made its presence known by its terrific violence.
Political stability is yet to be established in many nations.
Environment is at risk,with increasing carbon emissons.
"Going Green", is the epithet, profusely used to target people.
The internal combustion in Man is still very pronounced.
There is a general feeling of fear and discontent.
Greed and deceit still persists.
Riot and turbulence still exists.
Joy and peace, charm and cheer, beauty and divinity, appear to be remote abstractions.

My dear Jeffrey
Jeffrey came to me ten years ago.
My children were kids then
Jeffrey was their play mate.
My house rocked with the boy's shouts and Jeffrey's barks.
I am allergic to dogs.
I never went near the dog.
My kids grew up.
After their graduation,they moved out.
Jeffrey found solace in the presence of my husband and me.
A year after, my husband took up an assignment overseas.
Jeffrey and I were left together..
There was a silent understanding between us.
The absence of the family did not make much of a difference to the dog.
Last year ,I had to move out of home, to join my husband.
Jeffrey started feeling lonely.
The domestic staff of the houshold took good care.
But that was not enough.
Every morning, it would see me with a sparkle in its eyes.
Its meals were prepared under my supervision.
It was in the pink of health ,when I left shore.
I came back after six months.
Jeffrey has lost its charm.
The sprightly walk ,the cherubic expression stately posture,and the resonant barking .were all lost.
It was its poor self-battered and rattled.
I felt guilty.
I was pained to see Jeffrey.
"Jeffrey Jeffrey,"'I bade.
It looked at me, then turned back and walked away.
The unspoken bondage between us has snapped.
The twinge of solitude and the pangs of seperation,has eaten up my Jeffrey.

Mistaken Fortitude
Gunshots tranquillised Delhi.
Thirty died.
Hundreds injured
Media came out with heart rending narration.
The Telivision channels flashed poignant scenes.
The Prime Minister expressed his deep concern.
Security was beefed up.
This is a repetition of bomb blasts in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad.
Bomb blast.
Media reaction.
PrimeMinister's comment.
All in a row.
Same action.
Different place
A software for the bomb attack can be worked out..
The people show great strength ,either it be Bengaluru or Delhi.
This is India.

Tata, Nano ,Mamta
Tatas are prime business family of India.
Nano is the One lakh car.,dubbed as People's car.
Mamta is a politician,fighting for the peasants at Singur.
A very piquant situation.
There is a common algeberaic formula,
If a=b,
b=c,
then a=c.
Apply this formula to Singur.
Tatas=Nano
Nano=People
People=Mamta.
Tatas = Mamta.Very simple.
I am being very childlike.
The din Mamta is making is irksome.
The peasants are disillusioned by Mamta's relentlessness.
They want the factory to be set up in Singur
They have a found a new occupation.
They have started earning .
The Tatas ,are not cheeky business magnates.
They are noble, wise,and practical.
Leaders of Mamta's calibre should be responsible .
Progress should not take a back seat
