And hence it rains .!!!!

It rains once again, splashing waters, dim and blue, creating a miniature waterfall across the stairs. Few umbrellas, white and blue, wading through ... the world has come to a torpid pace unsettled but a sudden rain ..some rupture, some imprecate, as i look through, pressed against a tainted glass ..world was never so beautiful as I muse ...

Alas!! as I look over my shoulder, eyes glued to the iridescent flats, minds shackled in worry, souls oblivious to the beauty one must behold ..confined in seedy space which they rather refer to as cubicles, a mathematical term if you will, imprisoned in some vicious cycle, I wonder, set out to achieve the unachievable, sits the perpetual fools ..

The heavenly pours shattering again the indignant walls, squeaking  to wake the "Awake", imploring them to heed, hard and heavy it falls, but the deaf are adamant to what they think a pious goal, glued to the futile cause, blinded by the illusion, unable to descry the beauty the world holds .. 

A few enlightened ones get up and walk up to the glass, peek a sight or two, revel in the majesty for nigh seconds and then are back to the unending cause..,

the waterfall has gained ...the rain, now, dancing with the wind, nature unfolding to its full glory to the cheering of the sane !!!!!

Thank you!

When the gruesome day at work refuses to wane 
When the clouds are dark but still it never rains 
When the muscles cramp and the mind is drained  
It is then that the soothing voice of that friend 
makes yet another cruel day worth the pain. 

It is that voice on the phone, 
the silly jokes and the stupid yawn,
the office gossip and the manager bashing,
the wild trips to the mountain tops,
the dances and the romances, 
and all the other crap that never sucks,
makes the overpriced postpaid plan worth the bucks

The endless crushes and the aerobics guy,
the constant proposals from some desperate souls,
and the adamant grandpa on a marriage mission,
to the cuteness of your friend's roommate 
the meaningless discussions which go on pretty late,

Times change and changes the location,
people change and changes the relation,
sometimes it is  wonderful day,
sometimes it is a mornful day
and at others life is in a million shades of gray
But you my friend is the one who is always there,
to support, to care, to advice and to bring a smile wide with joy.

I thank you for being there when I needed you the most
thank you for doing all you have for me
in this labyrinth thank you for keeping me sane 
It is you that  makes yet another cruel day worth the pain. 
   

Why the hope still lingers on ????

I met an angel years ago,

twinkling eyes and smile so fresh,

chirpy and always so fun,

I could look at her face for ages at a go

She felt like the love of my life,

the relief from the sorrows and the pain,

she was like the sunlit dawn after

years of dusk smeared in the sinister rain,

We went places together,

had a lot of fun, explored the city

which now felt like a heaven,

Days flew in wait for her,

Nights vanished in the dreams of her.

We looked the best together,

as if made just for each other,

we loved the similar things,

as if destined to remain such forever

Happy was I, in the thoughts of her,

Ecstatic was I, in the company of her,

Life was fun, and nothing bothered,

With her around , nothing else mattered.

And then came the dreadful day,

when she from me, drifted away,

Shocked was I , unable to comprehend,

Scared was I, the pain never so severe.

The world came crashing down,

I knew nothing, what else to do,

I felt nothing, who else to go,

Shattered was I, didn't know what to do.

I could do anything to get her back,

if one tells me what shall that be,

She says you are the best and deserve much better,

if only I could ask, if I am the best why settle for any lesser,

She says time will heal every wound,

if only I could tell her how this feels.

I don't meet her anymore,

we don't talk much now,

people tell me to just move on,

She is not the one meant to be,

it seems she is long gone,

Why then the hope still lingers on ????

With the wind........

Unsettled by the violent storm ..nature ferried it to no ones alarm...miles from the loved ones ...detached from its origin ..in an alien land with the insurmountably sorrow in its heart it dragged along....alone it stood in the maddening crowd ....uncertain of its destiny ..it moved about....
Blessed was it when it was a splendid dawn ..the golden rays brought cheer and a lot of hopes spawn...the days sailed as a ship on an ocean ...nights ended in a childish yawn ....hesitant it was as it mustn't loose this one ...the boon in disguise which it dreamt every moment...the cure of all its pain which it bore all life long ...the smile this brought to it ..and made its existence worthwhile for the first time since it was born and christened G...
G tried to amuse this, surprise it ,fill its life with all the happiness it could have ever dreamed of ...night of G were spend thinking of it ...what more it could do to please it...morning were always an adventure when he could see it..G stayed late just to see it once again .... days shrunk from 24 hrs to the time G with was it..G flew with it all around like a string-less kite ...G was cheerful now..the sorrow was veiled..the sky was clear ..clouds have gone ...the stars lit the horizon ...the world was born ....he was breathing again as if life has just begun....

but the fear was real ...hence forth he could afford to loose none...not again can he be resurrected ..not again will he be alive ... not again can he feel the same..not again can life be corrected........ but the evil couldn't stand G's life any long ....the tide turned..and the ship fell in a crest ...the deathly water was all around ..the clouds burst in a thunder storm ...it was moving away from G and the mountain of sorrow was growing back again..but now studded with unfathomable pain ......

god could take this no more... divine intervened and abruptly there was a change...thankfully it started turning back to G ...the magic was happening again.... roses blossomed ....a beautiful day emerged and clouds started to wane.......G is happy again ...

Happy 63rd Independence day.................

wishing all my dear Indian friends a very very happy independence day and may your future be golden and prosperous.

An ERA OF HOPE:

I would like to call the coming decades an era of hope for- hope is free, free from all bias , free from all restriction and captivation , free from bounds, free from partiality and most importantly free for all human beings...
I hope for a better India , an India of knowledge , an India of wisdom ,as India defined by its bright youth , its vibrant thoughts , its great vision , its insatiable appetite for betterment and an India of INNOVATION.

In today's time the "place to stand " is set , the lever is accessible what is left is the realization that yes I , You and We as a whole can MOVE THE WORLD. What is left is to widen your vision , look beyond the obvious , look in the eyes of the future , look for the plethora of possibilities and opportunities and say in confidence SAY I CAN.
If you still search for what could be done then look around you ,look at each and every small thing which might seem lame at first glance but a deep reflection will result in the admission that each and everyone of these small things have enormous potential and possibilities for innovation are abound. Things which seem obvious to us are not that obvious and each one hides so much more in itself which we seldom realize.What we need to do is just to set our imagination free and have the determination to pursue our conviction , look around , explore things & it will surprise you that there is so much that you can do to bring about some change in peoples' life .Push yourself that extra inch and have the courage to think different , to think innovative and ultimately to change the world.
Having said that one caveat , do not disrespect what is yours , learn to have deference to what belongs to you , its not just that west can do good things but we can also do miracles , respect your Indian-ness be proud of what you are , if you don't respect what you are no one will .

We Indians have always ruled the destiny from the start of the time ...last 2 centuries had been just a learning or preparation phase for what has to come next..we have always stunned the world with our incredible creativity , impeccable determination and extremely candid honesty and politeness.


so come lets change the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
