You!

It happens every day!
I am just engrossed in my daily tasks…
Keeping an eye on the watch and another on the work left in my tray
In a wink, your thought flashes somewhere inside
I don’t come to know when it fills me up… slowly, gradually…
My plans of deliveries go out of coverage…

It happens every day!
I am lost in traffic
Angry, helpless, unable to find a way out
Then you come to my rescue…
I ponder and imagine and
Find you next to me…
All the agitation disappears into space…

It happens every day!
I finish the day
And lie down on my bed
An unfilled peace enfolds me delicately...
Now nothing stops me
From being you and your being!

Dear India!

Through centuries unknown,

thou standeth unfathomable, unshakeable.

Millions and millions thrive and throb

and get them into thy soils.



Those holy hymns still purifying thy airs

go chanting the truth of life.



Carrying on the myth eternal

we live on… aging, dying…

with you guarding us

and building the Faith...

we growing and living for years.



The vicious ways and

unholy deeds of those

who claim they belong to you..,

Thou witness unperturbed

And be untouched … how?



Invincible thy soil,

for souls so courageous!

I bow and be proud

and glow with that fire!



Thy Serenity, thy Love

and thy Spirit undone

encompass ’n rise

‘yond eternity…

…so we are and will be.



Here I stand and realize now,

how much we owe to thee..



I do but,

lend me thy Strength and

Vision unbiased



Let me be worthy

to be called ‘Yours’!

Does it happen with you?

Such a day comes once
When the Slumber rules over me
Hopeless, hapless, and poor me!..
Tell me, how to be free

She comes with stealing feet
And catches me unaware
My eyes go heavy and senses numb
I am there… but really not there..!

I try ‘n sit straight
And fight back so hard
But a yawn sly escapes out
Did anybody notice that?

Swaying to and fro unarmed
She clutches her ties round me
Nothing brings me out of this
No caffeine or any tea

But now her lullaby goes unheard
She vanishes out of sight
As I take interest in everything
And do all that I like!

Spring!

I hear them singing loud and live
With rhyme and rhythm and blowing chime


The chirp and chip with flying feet
Just tell me clear - it’s blossom’s treat!


Sprinkling ‘round all shades of white
The hills and dales go bright n light


From high on Blue the magic spreads
With tingling, mingling yellows and reds


The sweet and shimmering drops divine
And flowing, growing specks of time


I gather’em all in this blissful being
For I love thee, O, Sweetheart Spring!

As we go on...!

Dear,

There was once a time, when words said it right..
And got us know us!
Times followed, when they did a little bit more....
...likeasentencewithoutspacesandpauses...
WE NEED A SPACE!..they were warned
The space lost them...some times!
But then, they were there...scattered,..unheard!


Do we really need words anymore.. now?

As we sense their existence..unspoken!

Waiting for it again!

We realized immediately after we took the NH4, how much we needed this... A plunge into the vast ocean of beauty and peace, the Nature bestows upon us!


Leave behind the usual, routine, the worries, and tensions and enjoy the delight in being just ‘you’. This was the underlying message the Nature gave us that day, once again.

It was a small outing to a wonderful place, ‘Kamalini Kutir’, just at an hour’s distance from the city.

A serene peace dwells in these ‘kutirs’, leaving you in search of your ‘self’. At the background stand the calm and commanding mountains and hillocks of the Sahyadris with green belts of shooting crops around. Take a stroll and the buddies of the earth greet you with a heartfelt welcome. No wonder you remain awestruck with their simplicity, innocence, hard-work, and an immense satisfaction about their beings.

Experience the soothing touch of the soil and you feel so close to the earth as if listening to her heartbeats.

It was an awesome experience listening to the whistling wind literally singing for us while we reclined facing the enchanting Blue in the shade of a huge Banyan.

The most enthralling point came, when we walked down the untrodden ways…, with a starry sky above, swinging trees and rustling leaves accompanying by, and an unspoken word knitting a bond between the individual and the spiritual.

What else should we wish for in life? Is there anything worthier? What say?
