<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>I am the luminous illusion</i></h3>
<br />
you came close as if lost, <br />
like a wave dissolving on sands of shore, <br />
tickling smile of white surf on my melancholy feet, <br />
holding your sari, with flood of laughter went away <br />
playing on the waves, in the diminishing light across horizon,<br />
vanished.<br />
<br />
I dive into a zero in the showers of clouds<br />
wandering a maze, in thousand streams,<br />
of your image illusory. Flowing down on me, <br />
the mysterious lines whispered in my ears,<br />
I am the luminous illusion on this tidal ocean<br />
in eternity.<br />
<br />

Life rises above all artefacts.<br />
Every breath is indeed an occasion<br />
in deed for celebration<br />
of Life forever to Rejoice<br />

It falls free at its own equations<br />
and impositions, the notorious<br />
and famous; all are about to be<br />
washed off in time through<br />
the floodgates of anonymity.<br />

to reach back in antiquity —<br />
our spirits are ready to spring<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> that gives food.</span><br />

<br />
CAREER is glorified in Industrial Age; it wasn’t different in any civilized society since its inception 5K years ago: It is power-oriented. The recent example is Steve Jobs, who recently expired. He was so possessed by his occupation that he had no time for his children, or to write his autobiography. He lived life compartmentalized, so much so, he did not attend to the aspect of “recycling” his own products when they are obsolete. This is a major lacuna created by the Industrial Civilization, which is against Nature’s Laws!<br />

With the woodlands and forests vanishing, with the use of chemical pesticide and insecticides in aggressive farming, the fireflies too vanish. Where would the younger generations see the firefly? Would they comprehend what a firefly is? Is it on the TV, on the internet, or in the Natural History Museums, which most unlikely?<br />
Firefly inadvertently represents generaly the peasants and particularly Adivasi, the tribal, who are upright people.<br />

On one side the First World Nations talk-talk-talk of Environmental damage and hold responsible the entire humanity, and on the other hand find new ways to destroy natural environment by proxy.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
Octopus Paul one day suddenly came in limelight. <br />
<br />
The cause? It predicted results of the international hockey tournament. That took the First World Nations by storm. <br />
<br />
Twitter was crowded by some million twits. <br />
That crowd blocked the site for few hours! Such a craze... blind faith! That too from so-called advance societies! Amazing! <br />
<br />
A European nation was even ready to buy that animal. <br />
<br />
'Tentacles', Remigius de Souza's self-portrait was published on Net, but none was moved. Not even his friends! <br />
<br />
Remi generally does not look in to mirror. Because he notices 'octopus' in the mirror! What, then, could be his misery while wandering the streets of Mumbai metropolis? <br />
<br />
He notices millions of people (his aborigine and peasant kinfolks) in the glass-clad multi-storied buildings mushrooming in the concrete jungle. But that never stops Mumbai!<br />
<br />
<br />
Octopus Paul was a baby, lost to its community and natural environment. After a few months it died. Relieved! <br />
<br />
Did anyone ask Octopus Paul before it died, "When this modern Industrial Civilization, which has become powerful within few centuries, will vanish?" We have not heard. <br />
<br />
Oh, what do you ask! <br />
The very strength of the powerful is their weakest point. There is a mythological Indian story of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhasmasur"><b>Bhasmasur</b> </a>that repeats again and again. <br />
<br />
In reality the mighty industrial society has gone with the octopus.<br />
<br />
In this self-portrait, 'Tentacles', Remi notices himself swallowing Natural Environment by his tentacles spreading and reaching across regions far and wide.<br />
<br />
Call it is his misfortune, or call it his fate of unwanted share, or call it a ruthless criticism on Industrial Civilization. <br />
<br />
Remi, however, laughs at himself at his cost. <br />
<br />
<b>Note. 1:</b> As we write this post, there comes news about, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14097617%20">Shuttle Atlantis docks with space station for last time</a>! What a relief for the hungry masses of the world!! Better late than never!!!<br />
<b>2.</b> Remi de Souza doesn’t watch cricket, hockey, football or such events as Olympics, World Cup etc. for he believes that any game must be played for leisure, and such mass events consolidate the centralized powers, and waste finite fossil energy.<br />
