i am not afraid any more, thats true,
why should i be

fear of being found out
in love with my reflection
i broke the mirror
but with many more images now around me, scattered
all over, i had realized
i was not afraid
of my reflections
nor of the pain
of finding out so many variants
i was actually afraid
of finding in me, the truth
of Your presence

Soaked in silence,
wrapped in clouds,
keeping drops dry,
why do you stare,
lift the veil, see little far,
a whirlpool of tears,
forgivance beware

A butterfly said, it is too small to bring about a storm, the judge said:

Nothing is too small,
a crack in the wall lets light to enter to illuminate the whole place,
a small leak in the pitcher lets all the water drain,
a small wrinkle on forehead can reveal the whole volcano inside,
nothing is too small
Is it?

why is love so quiet
when the sound of silence
is so eloquent

may be there is an angry wave
that swirls the mood
of the sea
and turns the waves
inwards
now, dont stir them more
they should not move outwards
who knows what will be swept away
on which shore
some how

poppy robot
used to climb your collar
and whisper all the moves
any body made
so that you could be ready, alert
and happy
it no more tells me your moves

online compilation of lessons learned from students of earlier batches of CINE course( creativity, innovation, knowledge network, entrepreneurship) http://pageflip-flap.com/read?r=ayoYb6PCUakB2NKXo#/cover
it is a work in progress, there are questions given in the end to which readers can send their response at cinecourse@iimahd.ernet.in, best answer will get an invite to attend one of my classes here and spend a day with me( whatever it is worth). Those who need a pdf or ppt can request access to my cine folder in drop box.

the painting on cover is more than ten thousand years ago to show that creative pursuits are not new, may have nothing to do with what we have, where we are, and for whom we create;

M Esders has helped in pooling the extracts, but a lot many more projects and book reviews remain to be added. If students of previous batches can send one page summaries of their key ideas, it will help. looking forward to hear from curious, creative mavericks.
title, i learn, we learn, implies that if i dont learn, we dont learn. Unless faculty demonstrates his/her learning from students, how can real learning community be ever created. I hope that we will focus on the pedagogic tool of shared learning more than specific lessons, but no harm is commenting on specific lessons too

when a river could no more decide,
which bank to love more,
it flew endlessly with vigour, abundant energy
and huge hopes,
but once it fell in love,
deluge followed,
who sank, who flew,
no body knows,
fallen bank is unable to decide it
any more

why did you ask me
to reassure you
that our love for you is intact,
in fact search for reassurance shows
you are in doubt
why are you in doubt?

why shoudl compromises continue
why cant unconditional love
be the norm and
tradeoff for the purpose be banned
