Because I know..

Today I'm relieved to be sad
Because I know I have a shoulder to lay on
Today I'm smiling though I'm weak
Because I know I'd be held..held strong
Today I'm proud to be naive
Because I know I'd be guided
Today I'm okay with my silence
Because I know I'd still be understood
Today I'm not travelling far and wide
Because I know I'd sleep in peace by this side..!!

Life and changes,,...!!

When we ran and laughed...
In our backyards
When we cared for nothing..
And concentrated on our parts..
In the little skits we staged..
When parents played their cards..
When we were enthralled at the few claps..
Enough to rejuvenate our hearts..
When candies were enough as our awards.
When things were so simple so simple..
With no games of darts..No games of darts!

Sometimes when you speak a lot,you have nothing special to say.It is silence that would mean you do.

कुछ मीठे गुनाह..!

कुछ मीठे गुनाह

कुछ सीधे से झूठ 

कुछ मासूम शैतानियाँ 

कुछ खूबसूरत सी टूट फूट 

मन को भा जाए

जीना कुछ आसाँ कर जाए

थोडा सा तुम्हे हँसाए

खुशी से छलछलाता 

थोड़ा सा गुनगुनाता

वो इक कतरा आँसू का

तेरी आँखों में दे जाए 

तो क्यूँ ना तू उसे अपनाए

वो गुनाह , वो झूठ

वो शैतानियाँ , वो टूट फूट

बटोर ले तू थाम ले

समेट ले संजो ले

देखो कहीं जाने न पाए

क्या फ़र्क पड़ता है तुझे

जो वो कहें " बुरे हैं ये"

तेरे लिए तो  हर अच्छी बात

से थोड़े ज़्यादा खरे हैं ये

ये मीठे गुनाह

ये सीधे से झूठ

ये मासूम शैतानियाँ

ये खूबसूरत सी टूट फूट !! 

छलावा

वो ज़्यादा खिलखिलाना 

वो ज़्यादा यूँ मनाना 

वो कुछ अच्छा बहाना

वो प्यारा सा तराना

छलावा छल ही जाता है !

दिखावा चुभ  भी  जाता है!!

पता है मन के कोने को

कुछ पलों का फ़साना है

पता उल्लसित से लम्हों को

बुना सा ताना बाना है

फिर भी न जाने क्यूँ

छलावा छल ही जाता है!

दिखावा चुभ भी जाता है!!

गलों का हर बार मिलना 

थामना यूँ हथेली को

साथ ज्यों उम्र भर का पाना है

जो कुछ भी अच्छा कहा'

मानो सच ही माना है

पता हमको भी तुमको भी 

दो दिन का शामियाना है

छलावा छल ही जाता है!

दिखावा चुभ भी जाता है!!

Dedicated to all the girls who are simple yet special in their own special ways..!!:)

I may not be pretty
may not be gorgeous
may not be witty
li'l shy and a li'l conscious
but I have a heart
that knows how to care
a li'l unknown part
of me that yearns to share
can't make heads turn around
or get a lot of "gosh and wows!"
but li'l compliments from loved ones do count
few hugs and caress make everything sound..!!
a li'l trip to my best friend's place
few calls n messages keep life in pace
not a celebrity no glamour no fans
life's melody enough to make me dance
few smiles 'nd few more tears..
but then i say hey guys!..cheers!!

Tranquil

Can't sleep tonight
I am happy with myself
I am happy
After so long
Don't know the reason
Can feel the rhythm
Of my heart
That was there
Throughout the day
And days before
But which I seem
To encounter
Tonight ..just tonight
Can smell the freedom
Of soul ..Of mind
Cares for the right
Seem to disappear
Nothing saddens me
Whatever I might think..Yes! I might
Yet in the corner
Of those ruinous senses
Of the worldly spirit
Of the practical mind
Arises the fear
That this would not last for long
I would be as I was
Today ,yesterday, and all the other days
Coffee won't smell so good
The music won't be this smooth
I'll be the girl of the world yet again
And ponder over this moment
Thinking how it felt so simple
So free,So light!

Yet she..!

These few lines are dedicated to all the girls and women who are striving in their particular ways ..in their particular lives..
examples need not be specified..
world is sensitive and intelligent enough..
I guess..


She doesn't know what she wants,
Yet she strives the most!
She doesn't let her heart out,
Yet she talks the most!
She doesn't sadden her people around,
Yet she cries the most!
She doesn't travel now and then,
Yet she wanders the most!
She doesn't seem to breathe for long,
Yet she lives the most!

The moment..The euphoria!

I feel elated
Mirth encircling
Enchanting peace
Moments so satisfying
Every second fulfilling
And then,
A whiff of air
Enters the window
Rattles the door
Something shakens
The unknown within
Can find no reason
For the crawling tear
I go deep down
Water surmounts
Shore seems distant
I was there a minute before
Can still hear my acquaintances
I was one of them
Shared the mind
Why now does it seem
So inexplicable
I feel a thrust
Or a hand above
I am no more
Below the surface
I float above
The whiff of air
Pulls me through
The friction seems
To awaken me
I am thrown back
With a thump
So light
Right back into
The moments that I
Recognized
The voices raised
The faces cleared
I am once again
Part of the world!!!

The goodbyes..!

On the roof
Looking up the sky
Melody ringing in the ear
But tears are in the eye
The clouds standing still
But a stir inside
Rainbow nearby
The heart singing deep within
Depths that had been unknown
Wish she had known
The pain of goodbyes!

She has been trying hard
To hide her tears of late
Had smiled a little extra
Before her every mate

Memories are what she is holding onto tight
She waits and waits for the
Things to turn right
She knows she has lost
And she is trying in vain
But she walks and walks
Beyond loss and gain!!
Beyond loss and gain!!!

..Wish I could just hold on..!!

There was nothing beyond me
Far and wide
Sunshine all around
All sand and earth
By my side..
I walked alone
Through emptiness
Till a sudden glow
Merged the whole sight
There was before me..
A jungle thick
With a beautiful mountain
And a river that swayed
Like silk..
It seemed as if they could
Read my mind
So,gave me love and
Made me shine
There was mirth
I can't explain
And peace that almost
Swept all pain
There was no one
Whom I could see
But their presence
Oh Yes!I could feel
Was that eternity
That I saw?
If yes,I wish
I could just hold on..!!
