The Year Gone By : 2011

It is time and I write again,
again before the clocks chyme,
I take a look at the year passing by,
With a small personal rhyme..


January fused me with a new hope,
with a new friend by my side,
life seemed to be changing,
happiness could be seen riding a high tide..


February was the month of realisation,
when I encountered an unexpected trend,
when I was parted albeit only for hours,
then I realised someone was more than just a friend..


In March I did see Patiala,
saw the greenery of farms,
through only from my hostel room,
I felt the winds of change within my arms...


April was just quiet,
the 'fight' in me simply died,
I submitted to the laws of competition,
tired of it, my mind sometimes cried


May was the time to rejoice,
I was back home as the overjoyed resident,
It did make me forget April,
as a number popped up on my cell, by 'accident' ;)


In June, the temperature rose,
and  my conversations,
with the special 'someone' grew
we continued to come close..


In July I headed for my big city,
to live with my Santa and begin some work,
met some warm professionals,
as my coffers filled with a welcome perk..


August was work, work n work,
I gelled in the new environment,
celebrating my Santa Naani's birthday,
was an over joyous sentiment..


Yes, the 'someone' felt like mine now,
Come September I did admit it as I had felt it grow,
'someone' just became my Sho and told me,
to tell her something she didn't know ;) :P


October came, and so did my day,
when Sho told me what I wanted to hear d most,
my joy knew no bounds, at this gift,
it was like Life finally raising a toast :)


November reminded me,
that life can take as easily as it can give,
for it took away the one person I had grown up loving,
and it was unbelievable that without her, I have to now live..


December prepared me to leave my big city,
but not before I went for my second holiday in 22 years,
And now it is to leave itself,
I hope, with all my tears...


So without further ado I welcome the year 2012,
a year I hope will unite me with my love, my dreams and my passions,
and stop the flow of tears for a long long time,
Hope, love and prosperity filling up my rations... :)

A Candle in the Dark

The white burning candle, Standing in the dark.. on its own, trying to illuminate everything around, albeit the darkness has persistently grown. It is aware that it is alone, while the darkness around it is vast It is devoted to being lit, even as its existence melts fast But is it really a candle? Or is it the flame of hope? That tries to hang on in times of despair, and tries to cling on to that last bit of rope. It keeps burning still, battling the known and the unknown, all hidden in the darkness around. It shrinks in size, with its head held high, still believing that it is glory abound. 

The world and fools.

The world speaks, much more than it listens, O how it speaks, on things beyond its mind - a gathering, mostly the enlightened, but a few fools,  who care to listen, fools, who still dream, of making the world listen, more than it speaks... of changing it for the better, of taking it beyond the bickering, of not letting it sink in the shallow. O world listen thou shall, O world listen thou must, To these fools with dreams, some broken but all pure, pure as the new dawn they seek. O world give them hope to feed from while all's unjust. Let them fuel from it all, so that when they speak, it matters.

मैं, कल और आज

इस फाल्गुन मास में, उन अदृश्य उँगलियों की गुद-गुदाहट है, जो यादों को भी टटोलती है, लबों को भी।  मैं आज में चलता हूँ, और कल में खो जाता हूँ , आज में सोकर मैं कल में जग जाता हूँ।  और मुझे दिखता हूँ मैं, दुनिया से अपिरिचित हूँ थोड़ा-सा मैं , स्वयं में ही व्यस्त हूँ थोड़ा-सा मैं।   पलटकर भी मैं स्वयं को ही खड़ा पाता हूँ, मैं जो कि  अब उसी अनजान दुनिया का हिस्सा हूँ, मैं जो कि  थोडा सा खोया हुआ किस्सा हूँ।  फिर मैं खुद का हाथ थामकर, दिखलाता हूँ खुद को ये दुनिया खुद की नज़रों से, थोड़ी बातें फिर से सीखता हूँ, जानता हूँ।  तभी किसी आवाज़ से आखें खुलती हैं, और मैं सच्चाइयों से घिर जाता हूँ, बीते हुए कल के कल को मैं आज पाता हूँ।
