Happy Holi,

The Holi season is here, the festival of colors and countless emotions, the fun, the masti, the joy of Holi....
We all love Holi, because it also become the festival of Love. A time of Family gathering, Lover's freedom, children play, elders too joining the game....So, here's a small tribute to such a grand festival,

Happy Holi,
the festival of colors,
playground of the kids,
filled with echos of laughs,
balloons and buckets,
powders and water,
carefree at heart,
be it strangers or loved one....
feeling the joy, the pleasure!

A time of meeting,
friends old or new,
sprouts of teenage love,
or juts the mischievous us,
requests or force,
color is a must,
to party and dance!

Greetings being exchanged,
sweets are distributed,
token of colors on the face,
or putting them on other's head,
some avoid, hide...not for long,
at last, accepting with a smile,
and then joining in this game!!

Elders were satisfied,
to see their children,
blessings were given,
in a time of  gathering,
feast and fun at a single place...
what more one asks from a single day??

Festivals are for us,
as a one society,
to be with family,
and being with friends,
to celebrate this time,
and these moments filled with a colorful life!!

Too cold

Too cold here,
shivering in my body,
is this the winds,
harsh and strong, 
forcing upon me,
pushing me back,

the thoughts inside,
tears in my eyes,
drops that comes out,
bringing out the memories,
the melancholy, the pain,
thorns that pierces the heart.

I sat down,
pulling the cloths close,
gazing the earth,
covered with mud,
small drops falling,
spluttering ,pounding on my head.

Nothing comes out,
nor being inside,
everything blank, 
just the emotions, the feel...
moments passed, 
but everything stopped, silent.

Your laugh echoing around me,
and the smile, comes before my eyes,
sweet curve of lips, that come and go,
words that flowed from your mouth,
as a song, soothing, smooth,
missing it all...where are you!!


Small things, times we had,
and now it's all alone,
just the memory, the pain,
something missing, 
the joy of my life....
its sharp, the voices outside,
forcing me down, deep.....

I don't sleep, nor being awake,
its too cold in my heart,
restless, impatient, I can't wait,
but there is not much to say,
the waving of branches,
showing your silhouette,

but then you speak,
in my half dream,
small warmth I gather,
with the thought of it,
As you call me,
bringing your hand to reach me,
the fingers I want to touch it,
to embrace you and  hold tight....

It had sweetness, it had pain,
living it up all the same,
you were near in my sight...
I thought these moments will last forever,
just to wake up,
to see the sunlight....
it's a dream all right :D

Just a day

Just a day, it went on,
the same routine, being on own....
I wait for something new,
to have some fun,
or just a normal routine,
of things that I haven't done!!

It may be mere bird watching ,
to see the nature world,
or to red some book,
experiencing some new thoughts.

It could be a gentle touch,

to walk with one I love,

or to join some friends,

and have an adrenaline rush.

new things, new possibilities,

to explore the crazy part,

try things that are forbidden,

or our inhibition causing the halt.

entertain oneself,

or support the needy,

be selfish to one's greed,

or sacrifice for many...

confusing or mixed are the emotions,

may be the free mind works,

the good or evil I don't know,

still an outlet, be it so !!

Just a day, as it passed,

comes the night, for my sleep,

resting my impatient mind, 

to make way for dreams,

and wake up another day,

exercising my brain for some new way..........again :)
.
..
...
have a nice day.

to realize my goal

Silent I am, clueless, confused, 
drifting with the wind,
flowing with the water,
I haven't stopped,
not backed down,
just waiting for something....
the light, the hope !!

I doubted, pondered,
worries that engulfed me,
too difficult to walk,
being resisted, pushed back,
stumbled, faltered, in my gait,
opportunities to few, 
destination too far,
that I dreamed of !!

apprehension were there,
diverted to different ways,
fear of future, 
uncertainty of present,
and the past that drags on,
I fought to get over,
come up to my triumph........

still, I have faith,
the struggle will end,
my hard work will pay,
the stress is evident,
thoughts being so blurry,
patience in the mind,
relaxing, focused, I wait,
to realize my goal !!

living the life..

Each aspect of our life is essential,

be it acquiring knowledge, experience , 

or having fun and time out with friends...

to be alone with self.

or sharing a laugh with others...

adventure and thrill at one place or fear of something else,

friends, family, society each should have it's place....

but do we get it all, 

or give a lot of our time on few parts of our life??

                                                                        

                                                                        ----  Mind thinks    :)

An evening with you !!

I never listen, nor I say,
as we look to the horizon,
the sun sets, moon shine,
we don't notice, nor we care..
for, this is the moments we share...

I didn't wait, you were there,
the same smile on your face,
the joy, the pain in my heart,
also my mind going on pace.....

hesitated, unsure...I step forward,
shy or nervous in my mind,
our eyes met, steady gaze,
and the moment just froze behind!!

No one spoke, nor stirred,
a small curve in the lips,
as the breeze that flowed,
the strands of hair moved.......

the sun going down,
golden rays fell on you,
and there you are,
brightening up my life...
the moonshine on us,
as the darkness came...
and the stars twinkles.

we sat down,
the grass being wet,
trees showering their leaves,
we watched them fall..

Our hands met,
your finger on mine,
we didn't notice,
as we were close...

Just you and me,
and the world around us,
the calmness, the peace,
the comfort of being with you..

So, we watched, 
being together,
no one speak, nor listen,
just the thoughts of togetherness inside us...
it was so good to be true,
as I spent an evening with you!!

Cells of living being

We work hard, we really do...

our actions, our reactions,

for our only motive, our aim,

quest of survival, our gain....

Lots would dies, lost forever,

we fight relentlessly, steadily so...

we never got tired, nor rest,

as we work for the higher order.

sometimes we are attacked,

conspiracy being made,

or just a surprise changes,

that cam from within....

we survive, we tackle,

each unit being in shackle...

we get better..we triumph,

just for another day in the system.

There are are many of upper zones,

they got important tasks for us...

everything being special, we don't differentiate,

as we dedicate ourselves to the job.

They too falter, may become weak,

but get repaired just in time,

we help, bring it back,

and keep up with it.

But does the higher order ever acknowledge?

being in pride of superior taste.....

whatever it do will affect us,

for it's his decisions we follow...

decisions that damage, cut through us,

making our job harder or so...

the more ego, lazy it becomes,

or some reckless choices risking on whole...

We can't evade, struggle through it,

accepts whatever it gives,

as it slowly becoming thankless...

rewarding or punishing of it's wishes,

what are we, some foot soldiers,

or the building block of a system,

for each system, being the basic chain of life....

we are nothing but cells of living being 

Satisfaction and Content

Two words...Satisfaction and Content, 
one which can never have a boundary,
the other that doesn't need a boundary.
Which one to keep, inside so deep..
one cause happiness and other brings worry.

I ask of things,
whatever I need,
my wants got bigger,
my aspiration too high,
desires and dreams,
tempting to me....

I know it hurts,
hard to work,
looking for opportunity,
ways to find more,
to be happy, 
to be complete!

Patience being tested,
finding a way out,
past cause the brooding,
and future so tense,
I  chased for my happiness,
but still so unhappy?

Satisfaction it is,
that I am searching for,
but it's only competition,
that I find all over,
as I sit watching others...
I am so tired!

but then was this what I needed,
or the things I ignored,
but then it's responsibility,
the expectations of many...
will it ever satisfy,
or vanquish my hunger?

So, I asked myself,
where to pull the line,
what more to achieve,
to conquer it all....
or it's what the elders advised,
be content on what you get??

to be happy for things one have,
be thankful of this gift of life,
no jealousy or envious of any kind,
to accept without complaining,
not to run but enjoy every moment,
to be content....

Is it confinement,
an enclosure of some kind,
making oneself lazy,
decreasing their capabilities...
or  it's against one's growth,
asking for no more?

the doubting mind,
or just a rational view,
for analyzing something,
every thought had it's preview..
to have patience, it needed time,
still content brings happiness!


Something to satisfy,
or be content with,
these are the two words on my mind...
the world is moving, so am I!!

Watching the stars

Bright as they might look,
far and beyond,...
we look it in awe,
the vastness in our thought.
Shining, dull .....large or small,
each have their lights,
or just the emptiness,
darkness that follows.

It stand alone,
or comes with many,
each had it's own nature,
or just us to decipher...
a constellation, structure,
showing the life's color,
stories being told,
words to be followed.

As I watch them,
heads up, eyes focused,
look around, the life..
the trees, and the buildings.
I look beyond them,
with it comes the magic...
the world that I have, 
and the stars through them.


The rustling of the leaves, 
moving with the breeze,
the branches in dark shadow,
all over the trees...
stars blinking, shining a bit,
or disappearing for some times,
looking so mysterious, 
or a moment of tranquility to seize!! 

It brings hope...
thoughts too deep,
nothing as such at first,
but something of a meditation....
it's hollowness, and more,
the brightness of future,
or just a peace of mind,
in this chaos of life.

Silent and thoughtful,
with my steady gaze,
I watch and watch......
the stars near and beyond!!

Doomsday

Hello friends...so, it's again a new year....and this time it's after something after a kind of doomsday forecast by Maya and others....Nothing new, same old life, only our works to look forward to, and maintain our lifestyle.
So, what's there in a doomsday that some people were so interested in knowing...don't know may be some people are just fed up with their life, wanting some change,,,and these kind of rumor giving them false hope :P. Confused....nope just kidding....We just love to these rumors without giving them a serious second thought as long as it's entertaining!! Just a small poetry for the same...

Doomsday they say, 
a time to come,
following celestial events,
or any other form.
Dates were set,
as the clocks ticks......
as the moment comes,
with our adrenaline kicks!!

Some thought its fun,
other as god's will,
some just ignore it as rumors...
other waiting for the kill.
it's weird for many...
as they being busy in daily chore,
why are few experts calling..
whole thing a  big hoax!

And so, the time comes,
as it also goes,
not a change to be seen,
for some good or bad....
day comes and goes 
and we went ahead,
not many incidence to see,
just those moments were dead!!

Their goes another date,
doomsday  being shifted...
as the people kept waiting ,
for the pattern to be repeated.
There will be movies, stories being written...
as people craze for thrill and adventure being taken,
or just plain fear deep seated in our mind...
for our doomsday theory to be awaken!!!

it's a long wait

It's there for some time,

as I have passed a phase..

or just stepping up a little...

still being a long wait!

Yes, I was unsure at first,

may be shy and reserved,

or just being so naive,

realizing it after being so late!

earlier life was easy,

simple to say the least,

every thing so organized,

not much worry at sight.....

friends and family took turns,

and studies too had it's role,

most parts being taken care of,

keeping these things to the fate!! 

people say it's needed,

I hadn't cared for,

a part did asked for it,

or it's a mere attraction ??

I was there realizing my dreams,

looked as my friends got away,

just to be occupied in their life...

keeping promise to their date!!

the sun rays on me,

also the moonshine,

the coldness of winter breeze,

or the raindrops on my face!

each had it's effect,

alone with me as my solace,
still my heart seeked,
or momentary desires,

to be spoken to, share moments....

spend times with my mate.

Yes, I could say this,

now, being the time,

not the world do I ask,

just a small happiness on my plate....

it's there for some time,

as my heart had spoken up,

someone to care, love to...

to find my soul mate....

for now, it's a long wait!!

Just some thoughts

Hello friends,

Its been a long time since I have blogged...it's daily workload, any exams or prior commitments that stops one from expressing their views in these forums. I mostly write in poetry as an hobby though I need to improve on that.
I was never a guy of literature, bad at expressing my imagination...but same is true with most of us. We try to hide our emotions to outside world just to avoid any embarrassment or mere shyness withing us. The world around us, our life, each have its effect on us and we prefer to ignore our feeling and move on in our life. Well, it helps if we have someone to share or we could have hobbies just to bring out the same. In my case I choose the latter. Its better, keep our mind free and it can act as a refreshment...a memoir too, to recall our memory.  

So, some people write diaries, some do it with photographs....we love to keep our precious moment as treasure, or just a gesture of remembrance...a lot of things that we wanted to do, the way we feel ....these all will fade by time but not if you have something that could help you look back to the whole of yours in stages that you had been in.....

These are just some thoughts of mine...coming to me, may be because of a state of mind I am in...but then if in future I would read this post, it will bring some part of me back which I might have been left behind in this blind race of struggle for existence...the competition that's called life.

So, what do you thing about this? What would be your take to this life..how would you want to remember it , how would you want to keep a life story for yourself...think about it....Just some thoughts!! 

when time allows...

Hidden from view,

hibernating in a way,

daily onslaught of responsibilities...

pushing it out of bay.

Its somewhere there,

waiting to come out,

knowing it's position....

being in some doubt.

It watches, observes,

accepts the realities,

but still have its thoughts...

as free as it be.

It's imagination, innocence,

carefree as a mind could be,

it's dreaming, wandering .....

to the world of unseen.

Practical, you could be,

ignoring the basic urge,

but this instinct would remain.....

till the attention returns.

so, it's there, let it be...

I have some other works,

with a hope within me,

to bring it back.....when time allows!!
