year end tit bits

Vent up anger
Bitten shoes
Tossed up hair
Torn jeans
Worried looks
Facial cream
Drooping eyes
Glares and shades
----------------------------
Heavenly looks
Desperate senses
Lively figures
Lonely hearts
Troubled waters
Heightened tensions
Cool atmos
Snazzy Bios
Tough calls
Intimate lines
Tongue twisters
Mouth slurpers
GOSH!! Do you want more
--------------------------
Cries of Darfur
Whines of Congo
Eruptions of Baghdad
Blasts of Kabul
Intrusions of space
Desperate looking face
Oil filled wells
Money bags- do they swell??
-----------------------------
Greed of Lehman
Audacity of GM
Blundering Fannie and Freddie
Thundering Stocks and Bourses
Dollar dipping into an ozone hole
Jobs getting lost by the second
Lives getting screwed by the pulse
Losses immense of materials sold
No places to keep my stocks in store
Greed of the green, costing lives
All around there is gloom
Is this the time of doom
Or is there hope for a ray to shine

adieu `08,bon jour`09

Here comes New Year, bathed in light and sunshine
With 08 coming to an end, with turbulence and pain
Wish 09 comes with more peace and happiness around
And let it ring of laughs and smiles aloud
Positive sphere of life, let it be BOLD
Let us all believe,there is heart of GOLD
Lets pray that Life is starting afresh
Like a new born –with hope and trust.

aap ki udaasi aur aapki zindagi

udaas mat ho mere dil,
udaasi ko itne kareeb na laao,
aise rahoge udaas toh zindagi
khafa hokar doosri gali se nikal jaayegi
abhi pichli gali se aa rahi hain dheere dheere
mauka de rahi hain aapko
rootkar us mauke ko tokar mat dena
phir dobara shayad aaye bhi naa

just that fleeting thought

u dont go out of my mind, anytime...
for u remain in my heart like a star,
you are so infectious and so is ur smile,
your words are like a soothing waft
u remain etched in memories now and ever,
for u r so close in my heart and beyond

kuch lamhe tumhare saath

tum ho mere kareeb,
isliye jeena aasaan ho jaatha hain;
zindagi ka har ek pal,
ek haseen tasveer ban jaatha hain;
raaste mein humsafar agar ban jaao ,
toh raasta aasaan se kat jaaye;
meri muhabbat ki lakeer ban jaao,
toh zindagi yunhi guzar jaaye.

dont cry my mumbai

Don’t cry, my Mumbai
Its been a tragic journey
For the past few days
We will see this pass
Don’t cry, my Mumbai

You were hurt,
You were splattered
You were pierced
You were burnt
Still you live,my Mumbai
Don’t cry, my Mumbai

My life has been in your bosom
My breath mixed in your air
My heart beats for you always
My mind is in pain, in your pain
But I know this will pass
Don’t cry, my Mumbai

I will be your guardian
I will be your soul
I don’t know how I will do it
I know for sure, but,, I will
For you are my home
Don’t cry, my Mumbai

life- just live it

too much in my mind
drift along senselessly;
for a path i cannot find,
where i can rest my soul in peace
there is a light always at the end of the tunnel,
but the tunnel itself has to end for me to find the light
sensibility has gone for a walk,credibility has gone for a toss,
reliability has been seething venom,
punctuality has taken time out
still i survive, still i live, still i am, for still i feel that life is

you- tat is all true

i want to hear u ,
i want to see u,
i want to feel u,
i want to touch u,
i want to hear ur laughter,
i want to take away your sobs,
i want to see u happy,
thats all what i want to do

love - hmmm a true feeling

love is a dream which floats in my eyes;
falling asleep makes me go back to tat dream;
waiting to never wake up from that dream;
take me by your hand and carress my emotions;
for my life is now without any motion;
wait till i open my eyes;
so that i know you still are not a dream;
cos dreams come true once;

oh my city

Whats happening to my city
Whats my city getting into
Violence spreading around like wind
Lives getting marauded by dozens
Pride is taking a beating in this city
Life is drowning like the elephant diety
Tell me whats happening to my city
Tears roll over when u hear a shoot out
They come for jobs and are thrown out
Where has gone the Maratha pride
Where is the Mumbai attitude
Of being the helpers and supporters for all
The shine of the queen:s necklace is fading away
Oh MY city – is this the way
Oh MY city – is this your way

she seduced me

she seduced me with her touch,
she seduced me with her inviting looks,
she seduced me into a beautiful dream,
she seduced me into her silken bosoms,
she seduced me with the soft linen,
she - oh - before u have ideas-
she, my sleep seduced me to get into an arresting slumber

music where they rest

The music plays here – so silent, yet profound
The voices are silenced for eternity, but life still goes on around
The sounds of the ruffling leaves, brushing against the branches
The sounds of the wafting wind, through the gates and across
The rambling of a stream nearby , the trees shaking gently
There is a stream of visitors to this place, all dressed alike
There are prayers said, flowers placed and heads down
For the cemetery is the best place nowadays for silence and peace to prevail

zindagi- guzri tere saath toh kaisi hogi

Yeh tere zindagi mein aisa kya hui hulchul
Jo mujhse itni door jaa rahi ho
Aathi toh hogi yaad hamari
Ya us yaad ko bhulakar chali ho

Aane waale lamhe kaise katenge hum nahi batha sakthe
Par yeh jo pal hain tumhare bin bas ek adhura kissa hain
Adhuri yaadein, adhure sapne, adhuri hain meri muskaan
Tum nahi ho jo kareeb, tumhari yaadon mein phiro loonga mera naseeb

rain- that amazing feeling

Small drops making music
With coolness spreading around
That awe inspiring rain
That tip tapping sound
The drops making circles in the pool down
How far have they come to settle down

oh my dear little toddler

Twinkling eyes
Sparkling wide
Gurgling sounds
Turn around
Little feet
Where to sit
Falling down
Looking a clown
widening gums
laughing buddha
cuteness abound
ready to cuddle

love- that word is for the blog

some who have ditched me、
some whom i have ditched、
but all of them i have loved
for want of space at times
at times for want of freedom
for want of pleasure
for want of cheap thrills
some have to give in
some have to let go
some lived a life of alternatives
I lived a life of parallels
For love to be true, is baseless
For love is passion driven and fruitless
Love – that word is good for a blog
For at times the other gender makes you slog
You don’t understand if there is a true word- love
For everywhere the idea is its either you or me
Egos play devil and hell is created
Love is just the cupid to create that scene

u r in me

why r u so much engraved,

why r u so much inscribed,

why r u the one　i crave,

why is ur name still etched,

my heart, i hear says u r the one,

for long u have been,

now i dont know if u r ,

there is a distance brewing,

there is a line being drawn,

i want the line to be a mirage,

and our love to surge,

from the heart i can say-

u truly make me sway-

ur smile brightens my day,

ur sweet voice broadens my face,

love is truly not a one off thing,

in u i see my life spring.

u- my love- never out of my mind

u r so much in mind
u r so much in my soul
u r so much in my heart
u r so much in me
how can i let u go now
even if u want me to
for i still am the same old
with all my failings in show
but u want to change
for something better
or is someone better
that you know, than me

some ramblings of a day in the weekend

woke up around nine,
lazing around- reading e paper and watching TV
going to the barber for a cut
the look from an onlooker to be looked at;)
the fingers that ran through the hair were soft
that was a woman who cut my mane to size
the men folk are clinical, while the women are easy - on the hair, i mean
had a bath in my inhouse onsen- my small bath tub
dipped inside for half of the hour on the clock
watched a movie- B Grade or something less
went for shopping for a kid
bought a suit in pink for her
had a "yasai tendon" at a restaurant
took the 4:15 back home
walked through my favorite broadway space
this one has shops galore, beauty personifications
landed at home- watched more of the movie types
watched a match- tll early next day morning
sleep is precious - so took it for long to meet the sunday morning again in light.

I LOVE U

why do u linger in me?

why do u stay in mind?

why is there a smile on your thought?

why is my life turning around?

what is the magic in you to make me so?

why am i in love with u?

but without u i still live,

but without i still smile,

but without i still go around,

but- without you its just emptiness

windows of reality are always open

Windows of reality are always open

We veil them with our visions

We do not want to see what is there

We want to see our version of what is

Life streams past us in one single rhythm

We make our flow merge with complexities

Living the simple way is not the way of life

Living with complexities is what one prefers

Why then the LORD gave us the smile

Why the reason to smell the rose

Why is there sunshine on the horizon?

Why are we still to speak the truth

What will life be if it’s a simple treasure?

Of love, trust, faith and blessings

What will life be if it’s just a simple flow?

Of patience, prayers and divine glow.

This summer I wonder where to go

This summer I wonder where to go, what to do

The sun is burning my dreams of meeting you

Where shall I meet you, in heaven or here

Where shall we be together, in Eden or here

It takes time for me to settle down, without you

It takes a lifetime to spend my time, without you

So I wonder, what I do this summer

So I wonder, where will this life take me this summer

To know that you have been away with someone else

Is a heartbreak enough, and now to decide if I have to live

What are the things I did right, I wonder

Was it the love I had for you, I ponder

When the sun sets this summer

I don’t know where you will be

But for me the journey will end

For I don’t want to pretend

That there is a life without you.

Colour of Life- Colours of nature

Hakone- a visual treat

Life- within you is your LIFE

What remains of the being,

Is never revealed in abundance.

For once death beckons,

Is the true self revealed.

See not if the future holds good

See not if there is one

Live now for now is what is true

For tomorrow, Death may just lay its claim

Live today in a way that only desire

Live today, with all HIS grace on you

Live today, with no tomorrow to view

Live today….Just Live

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

Within you lies the victor

Within you lies the whiner

Within you lies the liar

Within you lies the loser

Within you is the way to live

Within you is the way to destroy

Within you is the way to lead

Within you is the way to be dead

Within you are the dreams

Within you is success for sure

Within you are the excuses galore

Within you is the choice you make

Within you is the well of happiness

Within you the shore of sadness

Within you lies the wisdom

Within you is the path you take.

Life and its colour is RED

Life- Ah! That Beautiful word.

My formula of LIFE -- Live=Imbibe+ Feel+Energise.

Imbibe the goodness from nature, the experience of doing good, from people around you, learn the art of giving and not expecting, praising without a payback, smile without a return. Imbibe the qualities that your parents, your teachers and your elders prescribe- you can always improve on the qualities as there may be certain qualities which may have a different impact for a different generation. Never lose your belief in the Goodness.

Feel for the surroundings, feel for the people, and feel for yourself. Feel the presence of the supreme power, feel your innate abilities to do good and believe that everyone will feel the same. Feel the positive energy in yourself and be the medium of spreading the positive energy.

Energise the surroundings with your innate power of positive thinking. Energise yourself to be the Source of positive thinking. Energise your surroundings with positive feelings, thoughts and energy. Always be in company of people who energise your thoughts, your actions in a positive way.

Having given the formula for Life, now you may wonder what is the connection between the formula and colour – well the reason is that there is One Life and you got to Enjoy IT to the fullest. Let’s not fight over supremacy of races and authority of spaces.

Let’s give LIFE the ONE chance to LIVE and LET LIVE and just remember the colour you have within and that I have is the same- it is the same in any male/female, in any race/caste. So why do we want to waste that precious RED GOLD called BLOOD by spilling it all over. Let’s give LIFE the meaning that it deserves.

LET US LIVE!!!

Sakura-Blossoms of the true colours

Exploring the creativity in me

sakura blooms brightens the day
the filling of the scenes with pink petals
some fall down over the river banks
some fall around the path
those which have fallen tell a story
we were there- high and now we lay low
but still we touched the glorious heights
and we are loved for blooming bright
such is the story for all of us
days there will be with heights of glory
some days may be just plain dreary
lead life with a positive attitude
lead life with happiness packaged
lead life like the sakura blooms
