Trinity - Symbolism

The Trinity - can symbolise many names; Some of which - The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit ; Creation, Maintenance and Destruction ; Mind , Body and Soul ; Acceptance, Understanding and Appreciation. And so on...

The power of the Trinity exists everywhere around us and only appear to us as signs. Opening our eyes, accepting and interpreting these signs can always create an understanding followed by appreciation.

OK, GO !

Sometimes we find ourselves slaves to the tube (here suggestive of all forms of tube - television, computers, so called smartphones, tablets) and in the middle of the every day dreary browse through of information, we run into something that makes our eyes grow wide and widens our lips into a smile. It happens to me when I am inspired(this is a tricky word because inspiration can work on many levels).
But OK GO ! is a band who, plays alternative American rock but is definitely an "Eyes and Ears" band. Again shown to me by a friend and I was blown away. This was just too cool to pass by, I had to "spread the word". Their music videos are filled with fresh ideas and color and even rhythm. Even the name is so cool and uncomplicated. Coming to think of it, its a simple thing to do - Just go ! (ha ha ha!)

Originally from Chicago, Illinois and now residing in Los Angeles, California The band is composed of Damian Kulash (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar and vocals), Dan Konopka (drums and percussion) and Andy Ross (guitar, keyboards and vocals), who joined them in 2005, replacing Andy Duncan. They are perhaps best known for their often elaborate and quirky music videos.

The original members formed as OK Go in 1998 and released two studio albums before Duncan's departure. The band's video for "Here It Goes Again" won a Grammy Award for "Best Short-Form Music Video" in 2007.The band has worked with directors including Francis Lawrence, Olivier Gondry (brother of Michel Gondry), Brian L. Perkins, Scott Keiner, and Todd Sullivan.

Some of my favourite videos include :

Here It Goes Again !

This Too Shall Pass

White Knuckles - Psst! (This one is crazy!)

Anyone who watches their videos will just love the energy they have ! This is fun at your workplace redefined.
OK! GO! Wiki Them !

Again I like to end-type with a quote :

"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity.
It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy.
You can't try to do things. You simply must do things."
- Ray Bradbury

"My epitaph now and then cries,
 Loaded with larvae and mere lies.
A walk of life, a sound? His parasitic round.
Discarded footwear and fear he hides."

 - A W Manfred.


I once wrote a poem. I call it a dada poem. It is a mixture of words put together from different mediums of print and in limerick style. I did read that poems are read by the reader and interpreted in their own way, hence I do not want to reveal my own interpretation of the poem. But I would say out of the two universal states of mind. This poem hovers around "fear" and not "love". And it is mandatory for a human to understand what fear is, to fully comprehend what love is. PS: As for A W MANFRED, that would be my own pseudonym.(I thought I needed one) A W stands for "Ashwyn Warrier" and Manfred is a name which means "Peace" - In fact a very Libran name.

Surreal Soup - A dream from last night !

"Dreams are messages from your subconscious". Wikipedia considers dreams to be successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud wrote extensively about dream theories and interpretations in "The interpretation of dreams". Some people are in complete control of their dreams, lucid dreamers they are called. These people can actually control the world inside their minds like if it were a virtual reality world. Dreaming has been known to exist forever. The ancient Shamans are said to wander into dreamworlds to seek answers and be one with the higher power. Also considered as a gateway to meditation and higher phenomenon like (OBE) Out of Body experiences. What intrigued me, as a dreamer who has had only one lucid dream so far is the actually lucidity and content of the world inside our minds. The content can be explained as completely surreal and juxtaposed. If one were to dream without any control over one's dreams, one would run into strangely juxtaposed ideas and imagery. Surreal Soup is a compilation of dream visuals put together in a bizarrely unorderly way to make you think of certain things you would not think of, in that particular moment of time.
