owais : Be good, Do good a girl in veil

a girl in veil

Posted on Feb 29th, 2008 by owais : Be good, Do good owais
A svelte tall girl
clothed in black, loosely overhanging her slender body
dazzled by her ravishing glinting hazel eyes
her beauty concealed by burqah

her fine body lurching 
caused impelled by sudden jerks of rickety, cramped bus
causing her to wrap the black scarf
allowing me to peer at her catchy face.

though tempted to resume talks
but fearing due to sulky chaperone
stiffling heat, crowds and constant perspiration
made her to peep through the window fixedly

next halt, escorted promptly by chaperone
put me to quit the bus too,
being sneaky seeking her trail

rolling along a row of shops
stopped by a shop of varied ornaments
picking colourful bangles, putting on her slender wrists
and trying all sorts of jewellery, heedless of veil

I trembled as she turned
her gentle, gorgeous, graceful face
made me gaze at length
without fear of her morose companion
she collected herself by giving fierce & strange look
darted away abruptly with her chaperone
at once, she merged into dark crowd.

Your poem has taken me on a magical mystery  bus ride tour–transporting me immediately into the arms of Mother India & to the heart of Owais which is shared here so passionately ! The typical heat inside the ” rickety an cramped bus” –this description palpable & reminiscent of past experiences.

Your writing has allowed me to share your feelings of inspiration, longing, curiousity & suspense throughout, especially “on conquering road, sneaking her trails quickly” … brilliant, indeed !

Thank you for expressing & sharing your blissful creativity !

I Thank you heartedly n warmly and my sincere blessings your way,

victoriajee, I can very well fancy those scorching heats of pondy and rickety buses running from chennai to pondycherry, which you hit by suddenly after reading my poem. which is resonant and my poem reminded you vividly though.

I would like to share with you and with my friends how I explored Auroville. we group of 5 friends decided to visit pondicherry when we were studying in chennai. it is barely 3-4 hours journey by bus a distant of 162 kms from Chennai. however we reached pondicherry by 10 am in morning. we were dark enough to draw our moves since not knowing much about this former French colony. by some enquiry, one local told us about Gandhi beach so we approached there and keep refreshing ourselves by the crispy winds aurmenting moistures of bay of bengal along side of calm, soothing beach and on opposite side of it, the official and diplomatic buildings divided by long narrow road and also Aurobindo ashrama located too.

after a procrasted period of confining here, we decided to go somewhere else since getting bore largely and also glaring sun rays. an auto-rickshaw driver enlighten us about Repos beach. he dropped us to repos beach, we arrived on beach around 2 pm after travelling a distance of 8 kms by auto-rickshaw. to our startlement and excitement, we saw beautiful westerner girls in bikinis swooned us indeed enticed us to approach them but unfortunately been forbid to go and have talks with them because we need to have guest card which were only granted to those who stay in Auroville. so this ushered us about this wonderful social community, but then we did not stayed that same day since we were short of money. however we planned to visit Auroville in next month and so stayed for 3 days there which enlightened me thoroughly by the wondorous and commendably surpassing ideals of this magnificent community, due paucity of money but later on accumulation of money made me to stay for more than a week. I learned many things, if one seeking an utopian community must visit this community. what we imagined for this community was entirely different n far differed by our imaginative power.

p.s  that was first time we saw a girl or girls in bikini or lingerie by our naked eyes other than from movies or virtual ways, so we were in way became excited to approach and have talks with them perhaps. well during my visit into community, I made friends from different countries but to date could not possibly happened. as you all must be very familiar and so must be knowing it very well how conservative Indian society is esp. females.

Yes, this is yet another vivid description of the road from Chennai to Pondicherry, the freshness of the Ghandi beach cooling the midday heat & then your rickshaw arrival at Repos beach.  I can well imagine your surprise when unexpectedly encountering western girls in bikinis & I must admit, even tho summer bikinis on the beach has always been an accepted part of my western culture–I was ALSO VERY surprized to see such acceptance in Auroville because of the sexual taboes surrounding the ashram &  teachings of Sri Aurobindo and Mother. Repos Beach seemed to me more like a tiny slice of Goa, that western conclave on the west coast of India reknowned for it's parties& licentiousness…although I can imagine how your group of young men must have found this beach scene quite divine :-D !

I am also happy to hear you write about returning to spend more time in Auroville, which is the only way to acquire a true idea of how this inspiring community works on a day to day basis.  Have you ever considered going to live there permenantly?  I have often thought about it & who knows, some day I may do just that …

Namaskar victoriajee,  My sincere blessings to you

whilst staying in Auroville was really one of the most cherishable moments in life infact.  as far as I was in Chennai I frequently haunted Auroville as much as six or seven times in a span of one year's stay in Chennai. yes offcourse being in Auroville made me to think how if I dwell permanently in this calm, spiritually enriched and filled with loves Community. to my opine it is infact an Utopian community.
I was utterly absorbed and so was relishing and cantering in my exploration of teachings of Mother and Paramhansa Aurobindojee and their principles on humanity and oneness.
I bought books from book outlet adjacent to cafe in visitor's centre.

I love the calmness behind it and used to give some time here also by reading books and pondering. I used to go to certitude to play basketball, you know i am good at it.
 I stayed in youth camp several times and in tender garden also and lastly to decide to stay in any less expensive guest house so stayed in New creation corner, however I love it most. and eating in solar kitchen and aurolec was most loved by me.
my one friend invited me to join him in a short party in night at youth centre and so had there yummy yummy pizza & roasted chicken with musics and light dance and some indoors too were there.
I really missed those superb enriching ziffy moments in Auroville, offcourse I learned a much about true humanity and true spiritualism and much learned about other cultures as I was already drived by the passion to learn oneness and about other cultures. 

Have a healthy and soothing life I wish for you this dear friend !

p.s    please do share some of your staying moments with us in this wonderful community too, thank you victoriajee.

Thank you, but my life is simple and hard, I live by my family with small owned business to earn livelihoods for living.
I am not a person of intellectual as well as not rich rather, I am a being of compassion though.
I get up in morning mostly early going to outskirt since I am very close to it perhaps dwell far from dense populated portion of town. I am quite sluggish in attending mosque prayers and so rather attend only friday one which is considered very auspicious, not praying timely mom constantly yell at me n threatening me not to talk but though not pray regularly. I am pensive, gregarious, honest, daring, generous and also gullible too which is not good thing. I am quite benevolent and very frank boy but meanwhile lazy, quite dignified n short-tempered too.
I destined to become a very good human being and lead a balanced life.
I am neither married nor engaged but yes I do like a girl in this community very much but to my unfortunate she is engaged, lol. yes she dwell in core of my heart.
I am very good at basket-ball and then cricket, and so used to played volleyball n kho-kho during childhood. I love to write very much.I like every people, I like almost every foods.
My schooling completed in boarding, I love my mom very much, she is not less than a fairy to me. thank you again dawnjee for stopping by and waving us lovingly.

be blessed and happy always n live harmoniously ! my sincere prays to you n blessings
