Who Am I? #11

--------------------------------------

I'm known to be responsible for conditions

 unknown to the medical world.

Successes or failures fetch me my due credits.

Being apple of their eyes

some call me blessed

while to some others I am the oppressed.

Neither I care for the lewd tag.

Nor do I take credits for being the spine.

Thus Spake Chennai

This post is part of the blog tag titled, The CBC Tablog where CBC stands for Chennai Bloggers club. About 35 bloggers from Chennai are participating  in this blog tag where everyone will write about their favorite city Chennai and what it means to them.  Well I've differed it a bit and tried to put myself in her shoes and spoken from Chennai in my typical 55 words or less. So here's my post for the CBC tablog. 

---

I started with kids afew

Adopting millions over years together

Having grown richer and bigger with age.

My kids have loved me, hated me

And kept molding me to accustom to their lifestyles,

Some I’ve been proud of

While despised some others

But complained to none

Neither as erstwhile Madras nor being Chennai.

I'd like to pass this marathon baton further and here's someone who states and I quote "I came I saw I blog, I think I blog, I blog, @vadapoche on twitter"

Historical accounts dates back my origin

to the Bronze age

but 

I ain't a metal.

Martial arts, military forces & machines 

have me in common.

To the desperate & insane 

I gave the power to liberate souls

however

I've been very supportive to the rest 

who has sought my help.

I'm no philosopher but

I help in attaining salvation.

A part of the world flourishes 

because of my existence in abundance.

I amuse even magicians 

by my vanishing acts.

At times of chaos & protests

I come real handy.

The commoners are in dire need

while experts

try to find alternatives to me.

Old Whine in Another Bottle

Yet another year passed by.

It was an eventful year 

of

daily agony 

to a section of society

grown bigger than last year.

Suddenly everybody seemed abuzz 

in celebratory mood

&

it took me a few a minutes to realize

Women's Day was the culprit.

All I could still relate to was only

Prostitutionalization

The Leap

Here you are,

one of earliest known epitomes 

explaining that four quarters makes a full.

I was never the same last time

 nor will be the same next time I see you.

Neither have I looked forward for your arrival,

nor have I missed you

but

you've always been so special

by your existence.

The Promise

It takes months to conspire.

A few think alone while 

some discuss with people, 

for days together.

Minutes of contention 

within one's own self 

followed by

propagation of the decision to the entire world.

A few seconds/minutes/days it holds

&

finally that resolution gets broken.

And hence begins yet another new year!!!

I come along wherever you go,

sometimes you notice and some other times you don't..

I remain a challenge to a fraternity,

for years together now. 

You would be surprised to realize that I am a cool celebrity,

cos neither do I tweet nor do I have a Fan page.

Between Mom and Kid(s)

She gave me the land,

water and the air,

the opportunity to earn and live peacefully.

Unimpressed, I blamed and ditched her, 

cared the least

and hastily moved out.

Years passed by, 

I missed her a lot and eventually came back.

She gave me the land, water and air

without a shred of dissent.

I came into this world very recently

compared to others in my genre.

My popularity is well spread out with my backing 

in scores and scores of varied avenues, at large.

Many, in this part of the world 

consider me as a prideful possession.

You cannot understand me, if you don't know me.

I am the brain and I am the heart

but to the brains and hearts behind me

I am their child.

Some are secretive while some others are open

but most of them are solely lucrative about me.

My by-birth "efficiency" fuels the GDP of some nations.

I do not have a specific use, to a layman

however science and entertainment have used me well.

Animals use me to very limited levels

while man harnessed me to the fullest, with his creativity.

You don't depend on me 

nor do I seek your help,

but we're made for each other, forever.

I can throw you off balance,

I can hold you grounded as well.

I can instill confidence and support

but that's not what I am for.

You can be happy forever,

if you know when, where and with whom to use me.

I am a bunch of thin fibres,

but I'm not edible though.

I protect the twin towers,

 for reasons aplenty.

I am the last wall of fortress to breach,

for an assailant who comes-in from down under.

My absence throws many out of business,

while celebrations take a beating.

I can cause you immense pain,

whereas I can be soothing too.

I can kill you without a trace,

I can protect you too.

I am neither the Police nor the Military

but I've prevented possible wars.

I am neither Elvis Presley nor Micheal Jackson

but decedents of mine have given many,

 some of the best moments of their lives.

 Shy, Silent, Embarrassed & Ignorant

are some adjectives

that describe the mood of conversations involving me.

Love at First Sight

It was at a b'day party,

I saw her for the first time.

Love gushed through my veins 

instantaneously.

I was flirting with her all along, 

however

she remained unperturbed, silent

and 

focused

on whatever she was up-to.

Asked a friend for her name.

"Canon EF50mm Lens"

was the reply.

"What a Creation"

I sighed...!!!
