Today...

Walking on my terrace this morning,
Gave me an intimation that everything was going to be fine,
The wind and the emotions,
Were all just perfect,
Leaving no constant worry inside.

As the day went by,
I sat at my window
And let my thoughts take off,
On a runway which was broken and damaged.

The instant my mind touched the sky,
It told me that I was sick of complaining and crying.
Passing through the dense and deep forest of my brain,
I realised that I whined and wailed,
Because I wasn’t getting the thing
Which I was really wanted...

Giving the bass drum a beat with my foot,
I tried not to think about the thing
I really wanted...

Life was making me realise,
That my crazy obsession
Would be mine before long.

Yet I had an unusual feeling,
Of seeing the bright sun
In a rainy dark night.

After the stress saturated,
I closed my eyes,
I saw a smile
Which then put me in to a confusion...

I opened my eyes.

I subjugated that pessimistic feeling,
Because I had realised,
That love is above all the emotions
And it brings home the world’s greatest joys...

Aroha

(The title 'Aroha' used in New Zealand means love)

When I first met you,
I felt something was different,
I knew you felt it too,
But I didn't know how to handle it,
It was something my heart, never knew,
So I couldn't accept it…

As time went by…
I went along with it, but at the same time
I felt like I could fly,
It was such a mystery to me,
But I didn't care
I knew eventually that I would unravel it…

Now for the first time ever,
You had opened my heart…
Something no one else could do and I mean never.
It was such a wonderful start
To a path I never wanted to part…
Wow, I thought, I want this forever…

Although there are times when we would fight,
It would always work out for the better,
Because we were just so tight,
Nothing could stop us, neither distance nor time,

Neither family, nor insults from them,

It was as though we were invincible,

And I wanted your heart to always be mine…

We are two wholes combined,
The last link in a chained circle…
To a complete happiness together…
It seems as though our souls have rhymed…
It is simply the best…
I couldn't have imagined anything better…

Our love is too true for each other,
Even if we do split up,
The love will ALWAYS remain forever,
As they say what's meant to be, will be…

In my heart, I know you are the only one for me…
You are my soul mate, my friend, and my lover…

Quite a late Eye Opener...

The concept of money and enjoyment in vices had established a firm control over me. But after realizing that earning at a young age wasn't my objective... Yes... that was rightly the end for pursuing engineering...

I made a big decision in the recent past,
I know why it came up and inspired me, which probably goes to show,
That many times a simple choice can prove to be essential,
Even though to some it might appear inconsequential...

I had been distracted due to the 'unreal' world,

And the people living in a 'cloud cuckoo land'

Where they have been optimistically out of touch with reality...

But after developing that discernment for medicine...

I never veered, and I'm gonna walk in that direction,

Left or right... I'm sure I went...
Utterly absorbed, it seems, it quiet introspection.

For no real reason I can think of, I had wandered far astray...

Pools of blood

I can't write anything much on this disaster because it hurts when you literally sit down and think of the blood pools..the people who were cut in the prime of their lives and more than anything...this happening to Mumbai...

Is this really what our world has become?
A dive into nothingness?
Where the people we love and care for,
Are the paints used to smear the landscape of terror?

What if,one day, we leave our homes,
And return to find it empty,
With only traces of blood around,
That remained to tell the story?

With gaping eyes,
We stare at the horrific, appalling, gruesome massacre,
Of our souls, our love, our harmony,
The intangible essence of our being.

Life goes on,
That’s what they say,
But does it really?
Do YOU really think so?

Does it make us forget,
The love we lost,
The day that fear and distrust took the reins?

Lets unite,
Yes we can,
And put these cowards to shame,
Make them realize what we're worth,
And how weak, pathetic and feeble they are in retrospect...

Illusions

I had written this when I was in the 11th grade... Don't really remember how and why this thought came up... But whatever it was, it was important to me...

When anyone reads anything which he wishes to read or study, he does not despise the letters and punctuation marks and call them illusion, chance or worthless shells..but reads them..studies them..loves them...letter by letter...word by word. But I who wished to read the book of my world..my life, did presume to despise the letters and signs. I called the world of reality , illusion and appearance. I called my eyes and tongue , chance......Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present. Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we have made. But as they say it is never too late to change anything....
