random ones....

Shoulders brushed and glances exchanged...something felt strange; but there was no time to think it through...had to finish up so many things before catching the flight late night...

Everyday on her way to the office, saw this old couple sitting beside the temple...thick glasses, lean figures, sad faces and droopy shoulders...they say their son left them here; they also say their son cried while leaving them here...today she sees only the old man...they say the old woman sobbed the previous night missing her son...


A big rock of jaggery lying at that corner of the top shelf...let me quickly call my friends...looks like evening's gonna be party time...ain't a cool way to relax after a long hard day!? What are you guys thinking!!?!? Can't we ants have some fun for a change!!??!?!


beautiful eyes is what I see...hazel in color....serenity all inside...while I was watching him, he quickly stood up to grab his book...its'exam time tomorrow...wish I could help him...but then I don't know BRAILLE....

Girl with the yellow balloon

Girl with the yellow balloon,
Sleeping in her father's lap,
Holding the balloon tight in her hand,
Perfect moment for a snap.

Looks like she's watching a dream,
That subtle smile on her face,
Balloon in one hand, dad's finger in the other,
A perfect moment to embrace.

I think she went to that fair near the temple,
White ribbons and a pink frock,
Eyes twinkling with the lights around,
People around in a flock.

The subtle smile goes,
That tiny tear at the corner of her eye,
Looks like she is missing her mom,
Want this moment to just die.

Father trying to wake her up,
Home seems to be near,
Still holding the yellow balloon in her hand,
I see the one tiny little tear disappera...

ruthless questions and a blank mind...
crossing the fingers, untying the knots...
balloon in the air,on that mysterious journey...
strings of guitar and notes turning up,melodies in the making...
have I heard that song before?
I guess I have...
He sang it for me...
have I been on that journey ever?
I guess I have...
He walked along with me...
Did I cross my fingers at that moment?
I guess I did...
He uncrossed it for me...
Did I ever have a blank mind?
I guess I didn't...
just to watch a beautiful dream...

The dark side...

The dark side of me...
looks like me though...
but is that me...?
don't think so...
trying to find the difference in similarity...
but failing to have that clarity...
do the dark sides come at night...?
don't think so...
looks more like a passing thought...
I can see the shadows only when there's light around...

Birthdays...

Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds and Pearls,

Chocolate Cakes n' Icecream Swirls,

Gift boxes square n' round,

so many in the hiding, waiting to be found,

Games n' Prizes,Friends in all sizes,

Whatta B'day bash it used to be!

Life so easy, mind so free,

take me back, I want more...

relive the moment and grab a score!

dark sunshine, rusted gold...

layered stories,waiting to unfold...

missing links,chained thoughts...

what IFs,what IF NOTs...

white, black or grey,

but someone has to say...

say it out and say it loud,

raise the head and face the crowd...

The sunny afternoon on a cold day,
The chilly wind makes her sway,
She sways with her thoughts,
And the thoughts sway with the wait,
Waiting for the wind to stop,
And the winter holding the sunshine in a lock,
Locking the warmth forever,
Locking the life of trees as never,
How many winters will it take?
How many trees will be at stake?
She knows, it won’t be many…

Drop...

Dew drop in the sunlight,
Drops forming rains, showing their might,
Drop in the eye, about to fall…
The held drop that says it all…
People fighting for that drop to drink,
Farmer staring in the sky sans a wink,
Drops together rising in a tide,
Life running around finding a place to hide…
Drops on the forehead after a hard day,
Digging shortcuts leaving the drops astray…
Are we done, or still something is left?
Do we see the light or the darkness has crept?
Wake up and hold the drop,
Hold it tight till you drop,
Let it go and lose it forever,
Act quick, its’ gonna be now or never…
