Project Description
Hi there,
Our app is a music playing application for musicians. Musicians will now be able to download different music within the app, which contains new musical notations, new audio files and a new background graphic for the app.
This app is universal.
This update will add an in-app store using the UrbanAirship storefront UI. The actual storefront should integrate with Apple however, as Apple lets us host in-app content for free. We just want to use UrbanAirship for the interface.
This update will also add a random feature that will appear in the in-app storefront, but will be completely local content. It is an 'unlockable' feature that looks like an in-app purchase in the store, but clicking download will require a user to LIke us on Facebook. This is not a FB integration; it simply serves a popup which says "Like us on FB to unlock this feature" and once they click OK, the feature is unlocked. The app must remember that they have clicked OK so for future updates this feature appears as "Enabled" in the storefront.
More detail about the Random feature will be provided upon being award this project.
Note: Please do not send copy/paste messages or a long list of apps! We do not have the time to review all your apps. Please select a few of your projects that you thing are relevant to this and help us understand why you are the right person for the job.

One prominent pathway to sexual intimacy among college student populations is hooking up. Past research has largely compared men and women, with limited attention given to how men differ regarding involvement in hookups and their hookup behaviors. This study used a sample of 412 college men to examine the individual, social, relational, and family background correlates of (1) hooking up during a semester and (2) penetrative hookup encounters (e.g., oral sex, intercourse). Overall, 69% reported a hookup during the semester, with 73% of those who hooked up reporting penetrative hookups. Using logistic regression, men were more likely to hookup if they had an extraverted personality, were consuming more alcohol, and had previous hookup experience. They were less likely to hookup if they were more thoughtful about their relationship decisions and if they were in a stable, committed romantic relationship. Men also were more likely to engage in penetrative hookups only if they held more permissive attitudes towards sex and if they had previous penetrative hookup experience. Implications for intervention and research are discussed.

Hi Bill,
I installed your plugin because a WP theme I'm using didn't provide a way to display posts on the homepage... after following the Display Posts instructions and using the shortcode the posts appear on the pages of the website EXCEPT the homepage!
The way this theme developer designed the theme's homepage is SO different than what we usually see, and he's not willing to help or give me code to modify the theme to make the posts work. Can you please check out the site and see what is going on?
We really need help here since the developer refuses to help unless we hire him to make custom changes to the theme. The site is located here: http://snd9.info
You'll see your shortcode works on the Contact page of the site, but not the homepage.
Thanks so much!

Cairo's Garbage City Women Raise Pigs, Recycle Rags, Weave Rugs
Nimet Habachy, siren of late-night radio, recounts spending an intimate Christmas Eve singing carols in Leonard Bernstein's Manhattan apartment.
The great man played his piano -- a Bosendorfer -- while lyricist and playwright Adolph Green belted out an improvised version of "Jingle Bells," in Yiddish.
Then, shortly before midnight, Habachy pedaled off on her bike from Bernstein's Central Park West home in the Dakota to the mid-town radio studio just in time to do her live yuletide broadcast.
A host of WQXR, New York's 24-hour classical-music station, Egyptian-born, British school-educated Habachy and I spoke at Bloomberg world headquarters about her work on radio and her career.
Billy: You have one of the most distinctive and identifiable voices in New York. Any memorable encounters with fans?
Habachy: Yes, taxi drivers! It's rather amazing to be recognized in New York City, in the middle of the night, sitting in the back seat of a yellow cab. That could only happen here.
Billy: How did you get this dream job of playing classical music on the radio -- you've been doing it now for almost 30 years.
Flight From Egypt
Habachy: I almost didn't. Before my family immigrated to America, as a young girl I went to British schools in Cairo. In our household we all spoke English with a smattering of Arabic. At my first WQXR audition I was told I sounded "too English."
So I went to "announcers training school," and I came out with what was called a "patrician, Eastern-seaboard accent," got a second radio test, was hired and wept buckets of joy.
Billy: Your father, Sir Saba Habachy, was a progressive lawyer and judge who brought your family from Egypt to the U.S. in 1953. How did that come about?
Habachy: During World War II my father was pro-Allies, provided supplies to Montgomery and was most likely on Rommel's hit list. After the war, as a government minister, he wanted to bring in the West and help industrialize Egypt.
When Farouk was deposed in the revolution, my father was remembered by the new government as being pro-West.
As luck would have it, Columbia University, where he later taught, was awarding him an honorary doctorate. My family and I left Cairo for New York with him, our clothes packed for a two-week visit. We didn't return to Egypt for 18 years.
Garbage City
Billy: Now with frequent trips to Cairo, you remain actively committed to the plight of a minority segment of the Egyptian population, people who are referred to as "the garbage dwellers." What is their origin?
Habachy: The people, called the Zabbaleen, began coming from southern Egypt in the 1960s to Cairo hoping for jobs. Well, there are none. They went into one of the very few trades open to uneducated Egyptian Christians -- the rearing of pigs, considered unclean to Muslims.
And to raise pigs you need to feed them, so they began collecting and sorting garbage. Vast trash communities sprang up in the Moquattam area, with tens of thousands people there, mostly Copts, eating from it, living in it.
Billy: You and your sister, Suzan, began a grass-roots project in New York to help the Zabbaleen, especially on behalf of the younger women. How has this developed and grown over the last 20 years?
Piglet Rescue
Habachy: A number of programs in Cairo were already in place. We focused on one that was teaching girls the basics of hygiene, along with literacy and math skills, through weaving, an indigenous craft to Egyptians. Clean fabric, materials and instruction were provided, schools with looms were established, and beautiful, hand-woven rugs began to emerge.
Through a nonprofit called Hands Along the Nile, we have been selling their products -- rugs, tote bags, quilts -- here in the United States. A new generation of Zabbaleen are growing up with improved conditions, especially in health care, though still existing in their very marginalized communities. But the poverty is still profound.
Billy: And the good news for the future?
Habachy: Because these programs have become such a success, the breeding of pigs has become secondary to the business of recycling metals, plastics and discarded electronics.
Billy: I was distressed to learn that the swine flu last year provoked this crazy slaughter of pigs even though there was no connection.
Nimet: The Egyptian government took unfair advantage of the fear of the flu epidemic as justification to nearly eradicate the pig population.
Some residents of the Moquattam, in desperation, hid pigs under their beds, protecting and saving piglets beneath blankets. This is a living story of how humans survive. The Zabbaleen now represent one the best examples of recycling anywhere in the world because, out of necessity, they reuse everything.
For a video about the Zabbaleen narrated by Nimet Habachy and produced by Bloomberg News, click here.
The annual holiday sale of hand-made Zabbaleen rugs is Dec. 1 through Dec. 4, at Calvary-St. George's Church, 61 Gramercy Park North, at 21st Street, in Manhattan.
Hands Along the Nile is a nonprofit organization that administers support to the Association for the Protection of the Environment, a literacy and job-skills training center for women in Cairo. Information: http://www.handsalongthenile.org

Remembering Amy Winehouse: 5 Must-Hear Rarities
Revisiting 5 excellent album extras, in celebration of Winehouse's brief-but-bright career.
Revisiting 5 excellent album extras, in celebration of Winehouse's brief-but-bright career.
The series also saw performances from Muse, James Bay and more.
Proof the late singer's talent was no overnight development...
Watch the trailer for the documentary, which hits theaters in July.
A new clip from the upcoming Amy Winehouse documentary shows Amy singing and laughing and reveals unseen lyrics and doodles.
The trailer for 'Amy,' the upcoming Amy Winehouse documentary, hit the internet and it's sure to hit close to home for many music fans.
Amy Winehouse passed away in July, but her music is still very much in our hearts, as evidenced by the strong chart showing enjoyed by her recently released posthumous album 'Lioness.' Since Ms. Winehouse was nothing if not a diva, it's only fitting that she'll receive the tribute treatment during this year's 'VH1 Divas' telecast.
The last known studio recording Amy Winehouse did before her untimely death in July was a duet with Tony Bennett called 'Body and Soul,' which will be on his upcoming album 'Duets II,' dropping September 20.
The song was recorded in March at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London, and Bennett has pledged that proceeds from the single's sales will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
The toxicology report from Amy Winehouse's autopsy is in.
Chris Goodman, the Winehouse family spokesman, released a statement saying, "Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death. Results indicate that alcohol was present, but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death. The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October."
Kanye West is said to be planning a tribute to Amy Winehouse by recording a remix version of her song 'Back To Black.'
I know all you've heard about in the news lately is the break up of Kat Von D and Jesse James and the death of Amy Winehouse. Truthfully, I could care less about Kat and Jesse, but the passing of Amy makes me sad. It's tragic and it was too soon. I remember the first time I heard her.
Singer Amy Winehouse was no stranger to the public eye, with cameras often focused on her and her bizarre behavior. Winehouse was found dead inside her London flat on Saturday. Take a look back at photos of some of the songstress' more memorable moments.

This hotel is probably suited for truckers who just need a shower and a place to sleep. Nothing fancy.

This was an unacceptable experience, not to be repeated. Your pictures make it look nice, yet the overall cleanliness was a major concern. We got to the room late at night and at that point we figured we could deal with one night. We did not sleep well. Having bugs all over was gross. There is no excuse for the filth of this room.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
New Criteria for Diagnosing Alzheimer's Coming
Early Alzheimer's Screening Tests on the Horizon
In the past, Alzheimer's disease was only accurately diagnosed after death, when doctors performed an autopsy to examine changes in brain tissue.
But that was then. Now, there are new imaging biomarkers being developed that can help doctors identify risk of Alzheimer's disease earlier.
Changes in the brain triggered by Alzheimer's disease develop slowly over many years, which is why it's important to catch the disease earlier, says Guy McKhann, MD, professor at the Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
"The disease itself starts many years before the dementia appears," he says. That said, "these tests are not ready for prime time except under very controlled circumstances."
Marilyn Albert, PhD, a professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, agrees. "We don't think they are ready to be used by clinicians in the community yet," she says. "These biomarkers and their cut-offs need to be standardized across the board before they can be used outside of research settings."
Biomarker Tests Not Ready for Prime Time, Yet
"We need to standardize biomarkers and diagnostic criteria so ... it means the same thing across all centers," says Reisa A. Sperling, MD, an associate professor of neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Phelps adds that using these tests before they are validated could do more harm than good.
"In some studies conducted by the best labs in the world, there was a 30% discrepancy among results, and until they validate a better way to do some of the measurements, there may be too many false-positives and we would be telling people they were in trouble when they weren't," he says.
That's not to say you must sit idly by while researchers scurry to complete their task, Sperling says.
"Do everything possible to keep socially, physically and mentally active and lead a healthy lifestyle," she says.
"If you are seeing any kind of symptoms in yourself or your family like getting confused or forgetting things or short-term memory loss that is happening more regularly and getting worse, seek out advice form a specialist or memory disorders clinic," Phelps says. These subtle cognitive changes may appear a decade before the onset of dementia.

Wrestler-turned-lawmaker Antonio Inoki will visit Pyongyang, possibly on Thursday, to attend an official North Korean event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Korean War truce, sources close to Japan-North Korea relations said Wednesday.
It is possible that Inoki, a Japan Restoration Party member who was elected to the upper house Sunday, will hold talks with senior North Korean government or party officials, the sources said.
Inoki held talks with Kim Yong Il, secretary of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, who doubles as director of the party's International Department, when he traveled to Pyongyang in April 2012 to attend an event to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung.
Inoki also met with Chang Song Taek, uncle and a top aide to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
In announcing his candidacy for the House of Councillors election, Inoki expressed his readiness to play a role in resolving the issue of North Korea's past abductions of Japanese nationals, saying the issue "cannot be resolved without talks and only through applying sanctions."

Kellie Graham, a former Grant County resident, understands that life can change in an instant.
She noticed that her mother, Ola Haven, had started to forget things. Graham chalked it up to the aging process and wasn't surprised when two years ago her mother was diagnosed with dementia.
"I'm a recovering addict, but I've been sober seven years," said Will Smoot, standing before more than 150 of his neighbors, family, friends and strangers last week.
The crowd broke into applause.
Smoot started to speak, but had to choke back tears as he told of his downward spiral into heroin addiction; a story that he had never publicly shared.
In 2012, Grant County Sheriff's Deputies made seven heroin-related arrests.
From Jan. 2013 to Sept. 26, 2013, deputies have made 52 heroin-related arrests.
"We've got some major problems on our hands," said Grant County Sheriff Chuck Dills.
Joan Mead, the 85-year-old woman who was charged with 11 counts of animal cruelty after police and animal control officers seized nearly a dozen animals from her Grant County property is in trouble again in Kenton County.
Kenton County Animal Control officers removed 11 Pomeranians from a home owned by Mead in Latonia after executing a search warrant of her property on Sept. 20.
The animals were in poor health and infested with fleas.
Grant County senior citizens were treated to a free lunch, goodie bags filled with items from local businesses, as well as entertainment and door prizes during the 2013 Senior Bash held Sept. 19 at Grant County Park. Despite a downpour earlier in the day, more than 600 seniors attended the annual event.
The former band director at Grant County High School and his wife, the former band director at Grant County Middle School, have both been indicted by a Grant County grand jury on Sept. 18.
Kenneth David Owens, 34, is charged with two counts of sexual abuse and tampering with a witness.
JoAnn Owens, 32, was indicted for two counts of tampering with a witness.
Both charges are Class D felonies.
David Owens is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a former student at GCHS. The contact occurred in 2011 when the girl was 16 years old.

Fareham railway station is a railway station on the West Coastway Line situated about 0.62 miles (1 km) from the town of Fareham in Hampshire, England.
Fareham station was first opened by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in 1841 on the line from Eastleigh to Gosport. Later additions connected Fareham station with Southampton, Portsmouth and along the coast towards Brighton. These later lines are now the most valuable, but as a consequence of the later construction there is a sharp curve upon exiting the station to Portsmouth, and a lesser one towards Southampton. A 20 mph speed limit protects the area surrounding Fareham station, mainly due to the sharp curve on the Portsmouth side. The original line, now singled through Fareham Tunnel, to Eastleigh and London, is dead straight, as is the former Gosport route, which closed to passengers in 1953. Track remains overgrown in places on the Gosport route, although most of it has now been cleared for a potential Fareham to Gosport express link in the future. The line formerly saw freight services to a Royal Navy ordnance factory at Bedenham into the 1990s, but the pointwork connecting it to the main line has been lifted in recent years.
There was also a line to Alton via the Meon Valley, branching from the Eastleigh route at Knowle, north of the tunnel. It was built initially as a fast route to the Isle of Wight - to express standards though only a single line on double track earthworks - at a time when Stokes Bay, not Portsmouth Harbour, was the primary rail-connected ferry terminus for the Island. That route closed to passengers in 1955.
In the early 21st century a new footbridge and lifts were erected to the north of the station buildings and canopies. The lifts allows the station to comply with the Equality Act 2010, providing wheelchair access to all platforms. Related work has included fitting tactile strips to all three platforms. Work commenced in October 2008 and was undertaken by Osborne Rail Division. The ticket office was reopened with a new entrance to the platform at the south end of the corridor. Ticket barriers were also installed and a new station shop constructed at the end of the station building on Platform 3.
Fareham station is located on the West Coastway Line which runs between Brighton and Southampton Central. It is now served by South West Trains, Southern and Great Western Railway.
Fareham station has regular services to London Waterloo, London Victoria (a much longer route to London via Gatwick Airport), Brighton, Portsmouth Harbour, and Southampton Central. There are also long-distance services to Cardiff Central via Bristol Temple Meads.
The station has three platforms:
Platform 1 is the main up platform and serves Southampton Central, Cardiff Central and London Waterloo via Winchester and Basingstoke.
Platform 2 is a bay platform and has very little planned use, however it is periodically used when late running Great Western and Southern services are terminated short of destination or during engineering works. It was formerly the main up platform, before the stone arched bridge over the A27 immediately south of the station was replaced, and the opportunity taken to ease the radius of the curve from Portsmouth by aligning the route into the current platform 1.
Platform 3 is the down platform for services towards Portsmouth Harbour, Brighton and London Victoria. The bay platform for services to Alton via the closed Meon Valley Line was on the opposite (car park) side of this platform, a short siding is all that remains at the north end of platform 3.
The typical weekday off-peak service is as follows:
- xx:03 to Southampton Central from Portsmouth and Southsea calls at all stations
- xx:18 to Portsmouth and Southsea from Southampton Central
- xx:27 to Portsmouth Harbour from Cardiff Central (Fast to Fratton in the late evening)
- xx:28 to London Waterloo from Portsmouth Harbour
- xx:36 to Southampton Central from London Victoria Only calls at Swanwick
- xx:40 to London Victoria via Horsham from Southampton Central
- xx:47 to Cardiff Central from Portsmouth Harbour Non-stop to Southampton Central
- xx:48 to Portsmouth Harbour from London Waterloo
- xx:54 to Southampton Central from Brighton (East Sussex) Only calls at Swanwick
- xx:56 to Brighton (East Sussex) from Southampton Central
South West Trains offer a roughly half hourly service to Portchester,Cosham,Hilsea, Fratton & Portsmouth and Southsea throughout the day from approx 06:00 till 23:30

Emirates says 'Namaste' to Mumbai with the launch of daily Airbus A380 flights from the airline's Dubai mega hub.
It's also Emirates' first scheduled Airbus A380 route to India, with the superjumbo found on the EK500 and EK501 flights.
Mumbai was one of Emirates' first destinations when the airline launched in 1985, and over the past 29 years, Emirates has flown "over 42 million passengers between India and the UAE", said Ahmed Khoory, Emirates' Senior VP, Commercial Operations, West Asia and Indian Ocean.
Emirates now has 50 Airbus A380s in its fleet which come with 14 first class suites and two 'shower spas', which Australian Business Traveller has tried and tested.
There are also 76 lie-flat business class beds on the upper deck and 399 economy seats filling the lower level.

City Cascade People's Center to Close
posted by September 27 at 10:51 AMon
Thomas St & Pontius Ave N
South Lake Union
The Cascade People's Center (CPC), at 309 Pontius Ave N, will close in December unless they are able to appeal a recent decision by the city to cut their funding.
According to CPC's Director, Myla Becker, about 65%or $211,000of the CPC's annual budget comes from the citys human services dept. This year, their funding proposal was denied and Becker says she's not sure why. "Our use is so high," she says. "Fiscally we are sound. [The city said] that it wasnt because of performance." The CPC has requested an explanation from the citywhich they'll receive in a monthbut the center on has 10 days to appeal the city's decision.
The centerwhich runs a free after school program, support groups and language classesrents their site from the Seattle Parks Department. "This was a vacant building 10 years ago," Becker says. "There are 6500 people that come through the center every year [and] were the only community gathering place in this neighborhood."
On Friday, the CPC will hold an open-mic night and asking families to sign petitions in support of the center.

Sole e55In the best elliptical machines one of the most important things to look at with a company anda particular model is, does the company stand behind it's product. Sole does exactly that, theystand behind the Sole e55, offering a 30 day money back guarantee. The odds are though, you will not need or want your money back from Sole. This is a very quality machine even if the good people at Sole haven't been making fitness equipment all that long. They have come on to the scene with quality parts and quality engineering.
The Sole e55 is very comfortable to use and can be adjusted to fit users of many different heights. The weight limit on this elliptical is more than adequate and the frame is very sturdy. The only reason this machine didn't rank higher is the display and presets. Read our full Sole e55 review here.

Below are the all-time best Muhammad Shanazar poems as chosen by PoetrySoup members
View ALL
Muhammad Shanazar
Peace is though difficult
Yet not impossible to uphold,
All the kings of the states
Must remain self-concerned,
Without poking noses
Into the affairs of others,
Curbing cupidity
To expand the territories,
Subjugate the nations of the world,
Enforce the so-called personal visions,
And put the humanity
Into new-fangled trials.
All the weapons
Latest, conventional or primitive,
Precious or utterly worthless,
Nuclear or less potential
Made of common explosives,
Be spoiled,
Be thrown into the deep waters
Of the unexplored seas,
Wherefrom no devilish character
Could ransack them back.
When some is killed
Neither Hindu, nor Muslim,
Neither Christian nor Jew is killed,
But a man: a child of Adam and Eve,
The same red substance
Pours out of his injured ragged body,
And it pains me.
All the weapon producing units,
And the blood spattering gadgets:
The tanks and cannons,
Mortars or machines guns,
The armadas
With the squadrons of fighter-jets,
Submarines that navigate
Secretly chase the nautical targets,
Catapults and all the missiles launching frames,
Be thrown into furnaces
To be remodelled and redesigned
Into of the earth moving machinery,
Instead of the appliances
Colouring the Earth red.
All the medals or symbols
Of chivalry be taken back,
Combatants and men
With the crowned shoulders,
And medalled chests,
Who often move in the battle-fields
Puffed with the martial pride,
Imparting, rendering
No service to humanity
Be employed to plough the lands,
Plant the gardens,
Make the dams and reservoirs of water,
Feed the cattle and get them milked on time,
Engaged them
To perform some rewarding assignments.
Upon the earth,
There must not be a single
Blood-claiming weapon;
If men are incensed
And fight is unavoidable,
They must fight with knives and rapiers,
Swords and shields made of gossamer,
All the time heeding
Lest they should break;
And all inhabitants of the world
At least once a day must trim their nails,
Lest when they are indignant
And resentful should scratch
The skin of fellow beings or their own.
Copyright © Muhammad Shanazar | Year Posted 2008
Beside the busy highway,
In the bushes there lay supine'
A despoiled corpse of a splendid damsel,
Scratched, bruised and all nailed,
Her cheeks bore the prints of teeth,
And marble-white neck blue scars,
Her silky white dress was spotted,
With the dots of blood,
Her delicate white soft shoeless feet,
Were still unharmed,
Her hair was disheveled, added to her grace,
Her eyes half opened,
As they were looking afar high beyond the sky,
To her dwelling place,
The wronged lips still bore an elegant smile,
If saying, "O! Dwellers of the world be happy evermore,
I depart to my own celestial place,
Where no one will desecrate my sanctity."
Then from the contents of her handbag,
Some one found out a stained document,
And with blood was inscribed,
"I am Miss Honesty, raped in the dark,
By the custodians of law."
My opinions are changed,
My heart lacks fervour,
For you lunched the war,
To liberate who are already free,
To enrich who are already rich,
To make the fierce, more ferocious.
When will the time intrude you,
Make you see the brilliant aspect of the affair,
And humanity will sing the song of peace?
When will you peep into your inner-self
To see the reflected image of you own?
When will you obey the divine commands
And make out them that God forbids pollution
Smog and fumes of turmoil wrapping His fair Earth?
Now open your eyes
The shores are red;
The lands are coated with blood,
The skulls are scattered like stones,
For the sake of oil or the reserves of gold,
Be aware a single drop of human blood
Possesses more worth than all treasures
That the earth contains.
Now stop killing; enough, enough,
You neither surrender, nor do deprive others
Of the rights which the divine commands allow,
Go through the lanes with moderate bearing.
Live like a benefactor among the nations,
Share with them your victuals,
Stock of knowledge and skills,
And snatch them not of their own.
Return fathers to the orphans,
Husbands to the widows,
Brothers to the waiting damsels,
And sons to the aged mothers,
If not then compensate them all,
For the broken hearts, shattered dreams.
Hatred against you thrives,
Magma against you grows,
Let the volcano sleep,
Beneath the layers deep,
And only once apply,
The strategy of the weapon of love
Discarding the old devices of uranium.
The amount you spent on the arsenal
Would have been enough to feed the world
Though ten times bigger;
If you had ruled the hearts,
The world might have been a different place
Of love, peace and harmony.
Through force your aims will never be gained,
So amend the ways and stroll on the route
That enhances you in respect and esteem;
Review and revise the modes of actions,
Follow not the path that leads the world
To the chaos, and on the point of no return,
For there will be a dark dungeon of curse,
O! America, for the sake of humanity reverse.
Deep darkness fears me at night,
Sable thoughts surround me tight,
Run I to the dark corners to escape,
Wrestle against inner self and fight,
The conflicting struggle continues,
Till I exhaust and lose the might,
The next day recovers me again,
And the night brings the same plight.
Those who savour do know well the taste,
The rest may form but the images abstract;
Unsubstantial eyes penetrate deep into realities,
But the carnal look with superficial glance.
Spent I time pondering over the baffling puzzle,
Whom He created the Master Scheme for?
One morn, at last at the hour of dawn,
The curtains were raised, the gallery swung,
The door opened wide to show the reality.
Ah! What incredible I did find to see,
Since then my mind burns, my heart smoulders,
To capture the fleeting vision again.
The nourishing celestial taste of experience,
My mind, my eyes my heart did undergo,
The organs of wisdom can not explain.
The words symbols suffice not to impart,
The festive taste relished by the inner being.
A huge mirror of brilliance hanging down,
In vacancy, extended from the south to the west,
I viewed glistening with stillness of dazzling glare,
Brighter than hundreds of moons if gathered;
Emerged then slowly in the shining surface,
Half portrait of the Masterpiece, the Beautiful,
With magnificence adequate to the starved yes,
But thousands of times more prominent,
Than the brightening ground of exhibition.
Beheld I the Redeemer, the Pivot of creation,
Wearing turban green with no end lurking on the sides,
Trimmed beard, neither too long nor too short,
Seemed as if the vanished hands laboured hard,
To adorn the Matchless with the regal splendour.
Cold flashes emitting out from the countenance,
Dazzled the force of frail seeing eyes;
The spectrum seemed a true manifestation,
Of the Being who from far behind reflected,
In the enormous screen stretched in front.
The mystery was revealed, but I should keep silence,
For when "Yes" and "No" both are the ruinous extremes,
Silence is the moderate route to survive.
(Dedicated to the Victims of Nuclear Weapons)
Though in the later years I was born,
Yet history makes me forlorn,
Rocks me back in the past behind,
To the horrible event and tragic morn.
I see the roses with blighted faces,
Satchels on backs, toddling to schools,
Playing in parks, swimming in pools,
The men, women and the old folk,
Busy in their worldly doings,
Teenagers move with flowing passions,
With longings for the better times,
Brighter future and happier days,
The stream of life goes with dancing waves.
The lovers still on the beds, bending
Over one another peeping into the eyes,
Measure the depth of bottomless love.
Oh no! Now my receptive ears clearly hear,
Incredible rumbling roaring of thunder,
And eyes see huge yellow bluish flame,
Whose dazzle makes us all blind,
All blackness of humanity spurts out,
In the shape of sooty mushroom,
Upon the earth spreading sable shadows,
The explosion smashes and blows up,
The whole structure of civilization,
The hopes resting in the beating hearts,
And cherished longings in the minds.
I see humanity being fallen,
To the meanest level of savagery,
Cruelty and abyss of brutality,
What game have played the pioneers of peace,
The busy men, women and sucking infants,
Being nourished in the soft soothing laps,
Burn as the rosy petals do,
When thrown into the furnace,
Where terrible enormous heat,
Melts metals hard, like butter,
The Darkness dances all around,
The echoes of laughter have changed,
Into wailing, crying and painful shrieks.
Who are these who move like ghosts,
Charred bony figures with hanging shreds,
Lamenting upon the horrible deed,
And despised nature sighs and sobs,
That who knows when time takes turn,
Who knows moments of calm and peace,
Might contain the centuries of sorrows.
A Gardener with saintly vision,
Planted a garden making its division,
Into the zones two.
Fed he each plant and tree,
With the pure blood of his hopes;
And soon each nook and corner,
Began to flourish and blossom too.
Before they bore the mellow fruit,
And fragrant flowers with shades,
Light, deep and dark;
And enjoyed he the days of solace,
Death made him depart to the world next.
How sooner the garden changed;
Into a forest teeming with wild animals,
The hogs, the wolves, the snakes, the rats,
Came out of the kennels, hovels and holes,
Move they freely, with liberty, unafraid.
Their avaricious bellies are possessed,
With ever enhancing increasing appetite,
And each victual adds fuel to flames,
No laws, no scruples, no morals they obey.
The seats where cuckoos and nightingales,
Were to build up nests for the descendants,
Are usurped, snatched by crows and owls,
Their voices irritate the more indwellers.
From morn to eve they serve but themselves,
Feeding upon the leaves, flowers and fruit,
They even gnaw crust hard around the stems,
Yet night comes with the healing air and dew.
The eyes amaze at the miraculous game,
When on the morn next it appears unharmed,
For it was planted by a saintly man,
The eaters are to pass away,
The garden is to behind remain.
When indelible memories of the past,
Torment my heart and mind; I write.
When mist floats in front of the eyes,
The light comes from behind; I write.
When the men of the callous world,
Compel me to be confined; I write.
When my heart weeps wailing upon
The wise being led by the blind; I write.
When in self schemed distribution I see
The deserving limping behind; I write.
Ah! I do know the winds shall blow,
And the same old Titanic will me row,
To the distant promised harbour,
Where were placed my dear parents,
And grandparents long, long ago.
I shall complain and tell them the tale,
"On the Earth, on each dale and vale,
Thunder thunders flaming the lands,
Ravaging the green or purple peaks,
Each tree you planted is dry or pale."
Let me take vintage from the looks,
Blue, reddish and deep dreamy,
For transient is the taste of wine,
But a drop sipped from the eyes,
Intoxicates quality of permanence.
