a misty morning!

ever witnessed ......have u?


one fine morning when u went
out of your house in daily routine
and u walk out in a world filled with fog
the beauty of which is amazingly serene

fog is present everywhere
whether u look back or look forth
and u just stand there
as if held there by a mystical force


suddenly u remember
the work u had to do
and u get onto your bicycle
preparing yourself to go



but even if u move physically
your mind is captured by the fog
and u cant see anything except it
be it a twig .......or a log.

its only when u come
really close to something
that ur able to make out the shape
the size, or identity of the thing


but thats the magic of it all
u cant see ahead and u cant see back
all of it blocked by the fog
as if ur vision u all of a sudden lack


the vision is only confined
to a small area beside u
but u know that the existance
of places ahead is equally true

i sometimes think that my life
is just like a misty morn
has been like this i think
from the very day i was born.

i know there are
many ways yet to explore
i may not recognize or see them yet
but i know i'll score.

this misty morning feel
is with me always
but it gets all the more stronger
on such misty days!

sometimes..............

sometimes u have got to turn low

sometimes u have got to take a blow

sometimes u've got to realize

that u have to lose to win a real prize

the prize of a loved one's pride

that doesnt wash away wid time n tide

sometime's u've got to become the slower kind

so that those u love dont leave far behind

sometimes u have to forgive

so that another can relive

life in a peaceful way

sometimes its best to just pray

sometimes u have to reward

other in ur own regard

e1 if u dont wanna do it

u still have to do it

sometimes love needs reminding

some precious moments rewinding

sometimes just feeling is not enough

sometimes a greeting is not just a nod or a cough

sometimes u need to praise

a person who's mind is in a maze

to make him come out of it

without ur helping a single bit

sometimes just a little word does miracles

sometimes a word can make u break all shackles

and give happiness to some1 u love

and luck w/o a four leaved clove

sometimes just making sure

that u'll be thr no matter what

becomes the much needed cure

for a confused mind, a nervous heart

so just follow ur what ur heart says

and never hesitate to put forward ur case

remember that no time is improper to tell

that u love them, and u wish them well

'cos everyone needs u......

dont get away

cos everyone needs u...........

once u have power,

let it sublime,

never misuse it...,

never get way,

cos' responsibility needs u!

dont get away

cos everyone needs u...........

when u have a family,

feel it's love

never leave it,

never get away,

cos' ur family needs u

dont get away

cos everyone needs u...........

once u have success,

enjoy it,

never boast

never behave proud,

cos' happines needs u!

dont get away

cos everyone needs u...........

once u have money,

spend it

save it

never misuse it

never get away

cos' the poor need u!

dont get away

cos everyone needs u...........

once u have everything,

use it

thank god for it

never deny, never get away

cos' gr8ness needs u!!!!!!!!!

a bundle of flowers

a bundle of flowers, i saw........
In the hands of a young man
probably for some1 dear
or gifted to him
by some1 who was very near


he had a smile on his face
but it made me cry
the feeling of helpness over me
that i can't do anything
no matter how hard i try...


those beautiful flowers
torn away from the plant
i tried to ignore it
but i know i can't


a bundle of flowers,i saw........


then to my disbelief
i heard the flowers speak
the voice was loud n clear
not small or weak

"I know u r sad
because my condition
don't be dearie
this isn't enough reason

Its tue that i was
from my parent plant torn
but equally true is that in few days
would i naturally old n worn

if my giving or selling
brings a smile to a face
then i dont consider it torture
i consider it God's grace"


and it turned silent
& the boy looked at me enquiringly
his eyes asking why was i
looking at him so weirdly


i dismissed him wid a nod
& began walking away
thinking if really asked
what could i say


All this also made me think
how we always think all about us
& those flowers, for a smile
got torn without a fuss


A bundle of flowers , i saw.....

miracles everyday

in this world today

everybody yearns for a miracle

wenever facing anything difficult

anything we're unable to tackle

yet we fail to realize

the multitude of miracles around us

those which are small

about whom there isnt much fuss

#In times of global recession

people are still bending towards charity

if this isnt a miracle 

wat else a miracle can be?

#an abandoned sheep lamb is fed by a tigress

who posesses for him an affection as motherly

if this isnt a miracle 

wat else a miracle can be?

#a mother has many children

yet she loves all of them equally

if this isnt a miracle 

wat else a miracle can be?

#a person gives knowledge to others

yet his knowledge increase ever so deeply

if this isnt a miracle 

wat else a miracle can be?

#everyday the sun sets

but only to rise and shine ever more brightly

if this isnt a miracle 

wat else a miracle can be?

#bomb blasts happen in places

yet peoples' life follows its pace normally

if this isnt a miracle 

wat else a miracle can be?

what we fail to realize

in the race we live in is that

Miracles neednt be big

Miracles neednt be rare

Miracles happen everyday

they happen to those who care

when i am lonely

when i am lonely,

i think................

about things long forgotten

about things yet to happen

about things i regret

and about the things i didn't get

about yesterday's lost match

about tomorrow's new catch

when i am lonely,

i think................

when i am lonely,

i sing................

songs that touch my heart

and masterpieces of their art

songs that are soft and sad

or songs which make me go mad

songs of happiness, songs of sorrow

songs of yesterday, today and tomorrow

when i am lonely,

i sing................

when i am lonely,

i dance................

on tunes that are easy to pick

on tunes in which i can kick

on crazy tunes like rock

or sleazy tunes that sometimes shock

on rhythmic tunes that force me in motion

or classical ones to break the notion

when i am lonely , i dance............

when i am lonely, 

i read...........

articles about world peace

articles about aunt and niece

articles about makeup tips

articles about exotic trips

articles about disappearing wildlife

articles about the poor's strife

when i am lonely, i read..........

when i am lonely ,

 i laugh...........

at my own annoying habits

at the playing small rabbits

at the cute naughtiness of my niece

or my uncle's idea of world peace

at the idiotic acts on TV shows

or the ancient one of film heroes

when i am lonely, i laugh..................

when i am lonely,

i cry..............

at my failures of past

at the world's moving too fast

at the thought of leaving my school

or picturising one in outer world as fool

at the memories of someone who's gone

at the roadside children's clothes that are torn

when i am lonely,i cry.......................

article

i wrote this 1 for the magazine

its idiotic but fun

Article article article

this article that article

which article what article

for the school magazine

articles were a need

so i decided to do 

1ce a good deed

i decided to give an article

but there wasnt a prticle

of a poet in me

so i decided to seek

some matter for me

i searched many books

but couldnt find anything good enough

on seeing the bundle of books

my mom startet to cough

then i decide to write

an article for myself

thinking of what to write

i started setting my book shelf

thus,

this article was written

and i was very happy

and i also saved it

from being eaten by my dog snappy

i dont know its good or bad

that depends on you

but surely u cant ignore it

isnt that true???????????

Things that are...........

lovable,

the child's laughter,

that knows no bounds,

that requires no specific occasion

that is purely genuine 

that vanishes any fear thats around

lovable,

the winter mornings,

so chilly, so cold

yet so serene, so true, 

making u remember. precious moments,

untouched of old

lovable,

the early sunrise, 

so orange, not a bright yellow,

having an aura,

somehow reminding you,

of music thats soft and mellow

lovable,

the daisy flowers,

so soft and petite, 

so sweet and pretty,

yet having a strength,

easy to ignore, but no small power,

to brighten up a room,

a  house, a life, and all

lovable,

home made food,

that somehow manages,

to tickle your tounge,

even when you're facing

the worst of damages

lovable,

the smell of mom's hands,

a mixture of pure care,

love and tenderness, and with it

the smell of the snack,

she's going to prepare

lovable,

the beat of music,

telling the feelings,

of the most grieved soul,

at the same time catering,

to those, 

whose hearts are jumping with joy,

perfectly fullfilling in its role

lovable,

the sway of dance,

the forgetfullness it has,

the energy it provides,

enjoyable in all its forms,

be it kathak, folk or jazz

lovable,

the chirping of birds,

the sweet sound they make,

the cuteness of their act

the pristineness of the flight they take

lovable,

the small joys,

the little achievements,

that make the soul and thread of life,

be it in a mansion

or in a tent

lovable,

just the list of things,

that goes on endlessly,

containing things that are lovable,

in our lives

yet why is it we always

look at life's darker side?

why cant we try to

be a little more happy, 

every passing day,

and smile a little more wide???????

life..

while attending the funeral

of a very dear person,

the other day

i felt very sad, and asked

myself now what

cos there seemed no way

everything was morose

everyone was sad

everyone was feeling

the effect that person had

there were mourners everywhere,

some genuine,some hypocrites,

there was hustling and bustling everywhere

and yet,

there was a silences

which was getting on my wits

suddenly the silence broke

and i heard a noise

of a small child laughing

i heard her sweet little voice

her laughter in that place

suddenly made my day

cos in her innocence

she had shown me the way

just when we thought

there was nothing left

we saw life expressing itself

from every corner,from every cleft

the child told us

that if a person goes away

leaving us in tears 

then we should say

"life does not end with someone

but it does take a new turn"

and we must just remember

that the person who's gone

didn't want us to be sad

but wanted us to be happy forever

let me be happy

"let me be happy

oh please! let me be happy"

i said:

"let me be a child

let me have a caring hand

a  thoughtful mind

a person to rely on

and i will be happy"

but you said:

"oh no!

you cant have care

you dont desrve it

you cant rely on anyone

trust is always broken to bits........

so,

you cant be happy........."

i plead:

"oh please! let me be happy"

"let me be a grown up

let me have worldly pleasures

give me means of luxury

on the worldly measures

and i will be happy"

but u said:

"oh no!

you cant have luxury

from where will u get it

you should chide yourself

even for desiring it

so.......

you cant be happy"

i am hurt, still i plead:

"oh please! let me be happy"

"let me be just someone

i dont want care

i dont want luxury

let me be happy

in my small little world

a little praise

a little goodness

and i will be happy"

but u said:

"oh no!

how do u expect praise

you dont have any qualities

what do i praise?

so........

u cant be happy"

i get said

cant i ever be happy?

but some where i hear a voice,which says

"you can be happy"

"you dont need care to be happy

loss of it strengthens u

let not luxury lure u

living without it purifies u

even if u dont get praise

good qualities are still in u"

"be like soft clay

in God's hands,

and He'll make sure

that u get all that u require

that u become beautiful, inner and outer,and strong,admired by all

if not that

He'll make sure 

that u'll be happy"
