Mom - My Best Friend!

My heart melts when I realized,
How terrible I was with you!

I screamed,
I yelled,
I battered!

But all you did was smiled,
And walked away!

I asked you money,
You never said a “No”
I asked you food,
You never said a “No”
I asked you clothes,
You never said a “No”

But yet I hurt you saying
What did you do to me?

I did not realize my mistake;
Until one day, 
I saw you cry, 
I saw you were hurt,
By my harsh words.

I realized how lucky I am to get you!
To get a MOM like you,
Who has been my best friend,
All along!

I will be what I you wanted me to be,
From this very moment;
Good, humble and mature,
You always wanted me to be.

You are still the best mom,
A best friend I can ever get,
All my life!

Love you mom!

Friends...

Bountiful Interactions; Plethora of discussions;
Oodles of gossiping; certainly with those
Precious ones known as ‘Friends;

Those were the days at school – 
Innocence at zenith;
T’wos fun chatting over phone then;
Doing the Tittle-tattle about teachers,
Adoring those cute classmates;
Nostalgic are those moments;
Those moments with “Friends’

Then entered college, Innocence abridged;
With newer friends; 
Conferring extensively on careers;
Unrelenting analogous trend; 
Talking and gossiping; having a fantastic time;
College ended and so did friendship;

Work came anon, Innocence lost;
Extra mature, extra busy;
No time for friends, no time for anything;
Yet a thought about friends enduring within;
Suddenly again; 
Recalling those wonderful moments with friends;
Alas! Have no hint how to get in touch;

Technology popped in; 
Email, chatting, orkutting;
Reviving our friendships;
Reminiscence of school and college;
Wonderful are those moments;
Moments that we spent with friends;

Back is our friendship;
Back is our chitchatting;
Back to our old times;
Precious are those moments;
Nevertheless all those feelings remain unchanged;
Undoubtedly now shall emerge;
Better moments, Fun filled era;
Needless to mention;
Friends are forever.

Harmony

T’was another day;
Happy and gay;

Few from different cities;
Few from different countries, 

Reunions and conferences and get-together
Were just a few reasons to be there?

It was another evening and a tiring day.
Back to the Taj; where I stayed.

Until…..

Alas!!!
I heard deafening sounds 
Shaken and helpless;
Wondering what transpired. 

Run!!! Run!!! 
Numerous screamed!
Ignorant of the circumstances,
Countless stirred here and there

They were hooligans; they were inhuman;
Bullet, grenade, bomb was all they knew.

Firing at the innocent;
From different facets of life;
Banker, journalist, 
Senior officials were just a few.

Then came the heroes;
Few from the roof;
Few already striking those heartless.

Men and women; Old and young
No religion and no racism.
United were all.
Praying for the near and dear.
While most of us were saved;
There were so many who were dead. 

Kudos to those heroes who fought!
And boo to those who took the lives of many.

Depressing and disheartening;
Was the behavior of these merciless inhabitants? 
Who are they and Why are they here?

Lets all stand united.
Destroy the hardhearted;

Peace be with all;
Let’s fight against terrorism.

Belief

I am a strong believer of destiny; I am a strong believer of faith; 
For I am the one who is liable, for all those occurrences probable.

I know what I covet for, I know where to set out;
I know how to acquire it, But I also fear I might err;

If I succeed, they call it luck’, if I fail they say it’s my gaffe.

Everyone states ‘Miracles do happen’; 
But I say it’s the will of the almighty;
For all the credence, 
I strongly deem my hard work and will is the key to success;
For am certain you are responsible for what you do.

Fear not a soul, fear no failures; 
Stop foreseeing miracles; 
They say ‘failure is the stepping stone to success’;

Believe in yourself; venture to conquer all ambitions; 
For your actions shall speak; For your actions shall depict;
Who you are and what thou achieve;

Believe in yourself; believe in your actions 
For belief is your motivation to success.

Powerless

Soaked in tears,
Inept to express,
Her love,
predictable about
Dire Consequences,
Dying within
Wanting to express
Yet, cannot!

Unlucky in love
Unlucky in life
Tranquil yet soaked in tears!
But hopes still alive!

Hope Less But Hopeful

Tranquility inside;
Tenderness within;
That’s my home, 
My mommy’s womb.

Fervently coveting to unite;
With the near and dear;
Certainly, shall indeed arise as a limelight;
Anxiously until…..

I heed loud screams, hue and cry;
Began to toss rapidly within,
Mommy began to run quickly thereby;
Panic-stricken, I continued to tailspin;

Alas!!! It was my last gulp of air;
I lay within, soundless;
My ideas and dreams devastated;
Mom rested speechless;
Dad howled deafeningly in pain;
He is missing me and so am I;

Those gigantic waves gushed in;
Took my breath away;
Took my dreams away;
Tsunami was the cause;
Helpless were numerous;
Effects were agonizing;
I lay cold;
I lay within;

God....
Why me?
What have I done?
Why have I been castigated?
Why can’t I talk to dad and mom?
Why have my dreams been shattered?
Why can’t I be there to explore the world?

Unanswered are these questions…..
I still lay rigid….

Tears flowing….
Hoping to get an answer;
Hoping to convince god;
I want to go back;
Back to the place where I came from;
A place full of dreams and aspirations
A place full of love and affection;

Alas!!!
I still lay cold
I still lay within…

What Is Life?

An expedition began years ago,
Devoid of a significant Destination,
Christened LIFE.

Making headway, 
Encircled by plenteous acquaintances,
“EXPERIENCE” is the upshot.

Progressing ahead,
Corollary of capability,
Precise judgmental ability
Is the effect of “Experience”

Cautious progression,
In profession and personality;
Sensible Relationships,
Overlooking the covetous,
Dedicated and ingenuous,
Undoubtedly a boulevard to “SUCCESS”

Is this really what we call “LIFE”?

Love Forever!

T’was another day; 
T’was another place; 
Nevertheless T’was a day; 
Extraordinary as I met you.

Gazing at those mischievous eyes;
All ears to those warm and caring words, 
tête-à-tête about us;
Our future lives; 
Our dreams and aspirations;
Our hopes, Our offspring’s ;
Special were those moments; Moments spent together.

Unaware of what transpired;
Circumstances may be;
He said a goodbye;
And so did I unwillingly; 
Though our love still remained green as ever.

Life had to move on;
Years passed by,
Suddenly, he emerged right in front of me;
I was Shocked; still surprised.

He sat in isolation; 
Lost in thoughts;
I moved towards him;
Firm to start a conversation;
To question why he left me?

His expressions were priceless;
So were mine;
Speechless, I stood still;
Silently looking at him in dismay;
It was the most unexpected thing for us;
He still gazed at me like he did years before;

Exploring ourselves again;
He was still single and so was I;
We spent our lives with those memories spent together;
I started Gazing at those mischievous eyes once again;
Listening to those warm and caring words once again;
tête-à-tête about us once again, 
our future lives once again, 
our dreams and aspirations once again, 
our hopes and offspring’s once again
Special are these moments,
Moments that I am spending with him;

If true Love happens; it stays forever;
It’s all about understanding; It’s all about caring;
Leave apart the circumstances; 
If you love now; you will love forever;

It's My Life

Stars emerged; Darkness disembarked;
Thinking about Nostalgic  moments;
Thoughts prevailing,
Mulled over on  blunders made;
Tittering  on the  admirable deeds;
I know I can’t  return to amend them; 
Yes, All is an experience,
Take life the way it comes
Learn from the experiences,
Beautiful is our  lives,
Life that teaches you innumerable things,
Various facets of life,
Various stance towards life;
The good and the bad,
After all, it’s our life;
Life full of ups and downs;
After all you have one life,
Live it up!!!

It's Raining!!!

As I stride along the path,
With plenty of ideas,
And plenty of thoughts,

I sense,
Droplets of water, 
Falling little by little,
Trickling down,
From head to toe,

Beginning to rain,
Shrinking black clouds,
Rising stench,

Fabulous atmosphere,
Splendid sight indeed!
Creatures hiding,
Flowers blooming,
Few people holding umbrellas,
And another few soaked,
Enjoying the rain thoroughly.
Admiring nature’s beauty,
I remain spellbound.

Walking along, 
After the heavy pour,
Sipping hot coffee,
Looking round 
Here and there
Enthralled at creativity
Of the Almighty
 
Rain rain, 
Pour down once again,
Will forget all my pain..
Waiting…
Waiting..
Waiting..

Till it rains!!!
