Patterns..Life..Life..Patterns..

Life ..patterns..

tick-tick..tick-tick.

in the dates, the days, the years..

in numbers, in colours,in structures,in structuring.

a pattern in sarees, in clothes,in trousers,in shirts,in the tiny stitches,in the prints,the cuts..

a pattern on the speed breakers, on the sidebars by the bridge, pattern in the zebra crossing, the police cordon, the street lights,the neon lighted advertisements,the flags of political rallies,the banners of an upcoming event .

the way the lights come up as the sun goes down, the pattern in the sun itself going down, coming up back again, day after day..night after night.

the pattern in birds sitting on an electric line, the pattern in flying birds,the pattern in their feathers,the pattern in birds themselves.

the pattern in stars, the shapes in the cloud, the ripple in the waves.

the pattern in leaves, in flowers, in trees, in branches.

the pattern in art, in madhubani, in warli, in picasso, in hussain.

a pattern in the way we walk, the way we sit, the way we arrange our furniture,we fold our clothes,we keep things, a pattern in how we cook, how we wear clothes.

a pattern in how we sleep,how we wake up,a pattern in how we like to travel,how we don't, how we pack, how we unpack.

the pattern in smiles, the patterns in tears, the tear drops.

the pattern in dohas, in sonnets, in couplets, in haiku.

the pattern in prose, the pattern in poetry.

the pattern in ppt presentation,a graph,a projection on it, the sensex.

the pattern in milestones, in distances, in minutes,in weights.

the pattern in lines in a face, the pattern in the eye lashes,in the arch of the eye brows, the pattern in the lips.

the pattern in the grotesque, in the stitches of a wound, the pattern of a scar.

the pattern in sounds, the patterns that make it music, the pattern in raindrops.

The pattern of birth, of growing up, getting old, dying.

In the things we have done, in the things life has done to us.

in the decisions we have taken, in the decisions we haven't.

in the things that we have carried with us, the things we have left behind.

the patterns in things we say, the things we cannot, things we do not.

patterns in people who we remember,people we forget.

a pattern in the things we see,pattern in things that we don't.

a pattern in relationships, a pattern in their making, a pattern in their breaking.

a pattern in the life you lead, a pattern in life you chose.

a pattern in doing, a pattern in not doing, a pattern in undoing, a pattern in being, a pattern in unbeing.

tick-tick..tick-tick.

life..patterns...

again something dissimilar... Life for me random, no pattern.. no structure...

It just happens

Kay said...

that's your pattern..because that's what you follow..again and again...your belief that life is random..

that belief has a pattern..

it's confusing??think about it...

a pattern in how we snore :) joking !

well its interesting to notice these patterns and then we are the ones who make them or do not. I also feel life comes or happens in phases. U know a phase of rise , of fall, of love, of depression, of everything.
All these are a reflection of our own self...actions... thoughts...

...Yeah quiet fatalastic in thought that everything has a design.. cosmic design...

and then if you have to find pattern, any two particle moving in random direction is said to have a pattern... The pattern is that two particles would always move randomly... and would not follow a similar path...

Thing is where you look to find a pattern...

Yes Ajaa..

Anonymous: the article is more of an observation than a question for me..for you-you either believe or disbelieve..your life may have been random..nothing in your life may have followed any pattern..mine has..
