On Our New Home

New Dreams taking shape
on the grounds of sand,
mud would be strong walls
with the swish of a wand.....

So much of thought goes in,
so many hopes entangle the mind,
somewhere theres fear too...
yet, the will to own my ground!

Tomorrow may rain or shine,
Roar thunder or lightning strike...
Today, now, am busy moulding a shelter
for me and mine....

With a song in my heart
I beckon the promises
the thought of home brings along
engulfed in togetherness....

Mud would be raised
from dust to a home...
would it be my haven
when I am in dust form?

Thots on a Rainy Day

Precious time slips away
Without saying, what must be said...
Emotions topple as if in stampede
During the rigmarole of earning bread...

Watched a controversial movie
That struck some thinking chord
Is it so easy to get entangled?
Or so difficult to stay unaffected??

Its by sharing that love grows
Even by over-looking sometimes...
Its by pin-pointing that pain grows
even by staring in silence at times...

What is of greater value,
The love that binds
or the relationship that survives somewhere deep within...
what happens to untouched wounds
over a period of time
if all the time, overlooked?

When is the right time
to make time for bonds?
How long will the bond last
when not looked after?

How does any relation thrive?
Is it enough it exists?
Shudn't it be nurtured with togetherness,
borne with a pride?

Why does the mind go wavering...
In search of something that exists,
when to its existence
we turn a blind eye?

How much happiness one deserves,
who is to decide?

On Ur 2nd Bday

Joy always to behold my little one!
How long would 'Little' you remain?
becoming your own person
with each passing sun and rain.....

Watching you become - in your gestures
"Big and Strong" - waving that little arm of yours,
leads me to all those memories of your birth
entwined with motherly love and tears!

So many times earlier too
I wished I could pen down
all the feelings I feel
Because of you.....

I begin about you and I
About how deeply I have felt
when I first held you close...
about how sweetly your fingers
have curled around mine several times...

Somewhere down the line
the flow sweeps your dad along
And I stop to wonder
what a bond you two have also formed!

While we watch you run around
uncontrollably sometimes now,
I am bound to recall - how you were
not crawling... but sliding along...on the floor!

Everytime anything new that you speak
fills me with unbound happiness...
And everytime I am overwhelmed,
there's a small prayer that unknowingly
escapes my lips, for you, my dear one!

Would you remember how we have been
How we are taken in by your presence....
when time flies by and you would too,
would our memories work well
when we would have to let you go...
to create your own world, find your own happiness...

Its with love we are bound
my loved one...
why then the fear of loss
that may or may not come at all?

And as if you now remain needing me
as in early stages of your life...
You have grown and our little circle
has enlarged to take in your little steps
even if those lead you little far,
little beyond my arms.....

Theres been so much until now
so much more yet to come.....
as I wish for a happy childhood
for my sweet little son!

It takes my breath away
when with a cheek you refuse
to make me your own...
jus to surprise later
with a lovely hug
totally unasked for!

As you learn to say things,
we strive to teach all we can...
sometimes, its nice to hear you call
Jeshee - in place of dad!

Let me hold on my emotions
for other days...
let me not outpour
all in one go.....

You are and will always remain
My cherished One, our little son!

Music - On the Road

It surprises me to see, how easily people adopt new ways - sometimes even without analyzing where its leading them! For instance, the "supposed relaxation" that one achieves while listening to music - irrespective of doing so at a risk.

I wonder at the decision making ability of such fellow beings. Being on the move and being in a different world (by closing their ears and mind to others around them). Don't you think our decisions on the roads (Indian roads atleast) are also based on some of the sounds we hear around us as well? And what do we get by blocking off those sounds?

Its strange... these days, I see people walking on the road busy talking into their mobiles, with a non-bothered attitude even towards the traffic at times! Not jus this, but even people (here, mostly IT clan!) with music flowing into their ears, trying to cross the road, without even bothering to see Left or Right (leave alone looking twice)!

I wish, atleast those who read my blog, would stop and take a look at where we are heading - when we make certain changes to our lifestyle!

New Arena

New Day, fresh beginning...
Nothin' on the landscape for anyone to see

There's always so much more
than what is visible to the eye!

There is so much to explore.....
startin' then...why with a Sigh?

Where to begin and where to stop...
Leavin' to Mind's eye to decide!!!!!
