the cracked mirror

The mirror is cracked!
it's just a small crack,
just a silvery gray line..
the images are still clear
the reflection undistorted.

a countless times i have
looked in it, and
even today the
image i see is the same.

the mirror is cracked,
but it's just a small crack,
in the corner,
so why am i bothered?

if only the mirror was broken..
i would have put
the pieces back together..
the jagged shards of glass
would have cut my fingers.
with bleeding fingers i
would have glued my mirror back.
the images would then,
no longer have been clear,
the reflection would surely
have been distorted..
but piece by piece i
would have put my mirror back together..

ALAS!!the mirror is CRACKED,
not broken.
nothing has changed
and yet ,for me,
everything has changed-
and the saddest part is-
'u cant repair a crack'.



this poem in many ways speaks of human relation ships gone awry,
relationships where ppl have drifted apart.things have changed .but the change is so subtle and seemingly insignificant that it is just a crack..which few can see.
nothing has changed the relationship is still'functional' .it is not broken just cracked..

i leave with a question ..is it better for the mirror to break or live with the crack?

Using another analogy, the skin can also get cracked and broken..but while the cracked skin heals n becomes as good as new in a few days, the broken skin always heals with a scar..so it all really depends on whether the relationship is like the skin or the mirror, doesnt it?..

It reminds me of my young days, when"KwikFix" was first introduced.
The advertisements says " KwikFix can join every thing except Broken heart".

relationships or Mirrors... Better clean than cracked... Cracked relationships always end up showing the ugly face sometime or the other... Better get a mirror... the one thats pretty and clean.. ;)

A shared snare hosting advantage or effective hosting service or derive assemblage refers to a network hosting service where various websites reside on one web server connected to the Internet. Each locale "sits" on its own split-up, or section/place on the server, to support it detach from other sites. This is generally the most thrifty privilege on account of hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know ./  5 k drama phrases which add drama in a Korean drama. Korean dramas or K-dramas are filled with sweet predictable clichés , scenes that are repeated in almost every other drama, because they never seize to bring on the drama feels. Are you a k drama fan? Have you noticed how some scenes and some phrases get repeated in so many dramas? Here are a few of my favourite Hangul phrases which help heighten the drama in a Kdrama. Orae-man-iyo / Orae- mani- dae This phrase means ; it’s been a long time. The first version Orae mani iyo is the more formal way of saying it.it is one of my favourite phrases, a fabulous drama building phrase, it could be used when two arch enemies meet after a long time , one grew up to be a sleazy lawyer, the other an upstanding prosecutor. Or two high school sweethearts with a heartbreaking breakup meet in their adult life. It is a phrase filled with emotions; be it a veiled threat , a sense of l
