today is special

Aquarius's month? may be day or who knows - the year! No no, I'm not going the Linda Goodman way to describe the various traits of an aquarius but I am definitely traversing the footsteps of mind to say something...

Your very existence in the universe is mystic... no one understands like you, listens like you, feels like you and above all befriends like you. Not long ago, when the value system was in place, I used to wonder why people born under this sign persevere? Why do they not defy the very norms and take some casualness? Why do the emotions matter like the way they used to? It is such a pleasant change to not hear - "let bygones be bygones' for once. Its ok yaar... sab chalta hai and the so formed young cliches - all do not find any place.

Birth of a new culture is needed dear you... more of humans need to say NO to change and keep the old innocence of relationships alive.

It pains me to see lovers not in love
It hurts me when parents are parented
and it embarrasses me abysmally when taboo talks are embraced...

birthday wishes for a uniquely unchanged thought...
may they grow inside you like ever before.
proud to know you...

morning

morning life...

I wonder how many of us actually greet you? They live you, revel in you, rebuke you, curse you but never approach you either in joy or in sorrow but I will henceforth remember to do this everyday.

Someone just said yesterday that you're befriending stress. It disturbed me somewhere so I traced down your steps from infancy to old age. I am worried my pal - where have you left your other friends?

I see very little of smiles and laughter these days and what happened to your camaraderie with innocence? You know, i feel you sped up too fast to let joy and contentment walk side by side with you. or is it the other way round? Tell me if happiness fought with you and left you alone to sulk.

My fighter ! Bravo for surviving the rugged travails all by your self. I join you here as I cant see you being abandoned.

Together we will inflate the beautiful balloons of love and leave them in great numbers for the people of the world to see ... if anything that can change their stress lines to smiley curves... it is plain and simple love.

सांकल?

लम्हे कोई सामान नहीं

जो रख दे उसे कहीं अलग
यादों की कोठरी में
कोई कैसे लगाये सांकल?

वक्त है शरारती ...
जो खोल देता है वह कुण्डी
और मंद मंद मुस्काता है
देख मेरी स्तिथि

किस किस को करूँ वश में

पल पल में है तेरा एहसास
मेरी पूर्णता में यह अधूरापन
सिर्फ़ बढाता है वह प्यास ...

अतृप्त, असंभव, अदृश्य
यह जकडे जज़्बात
आलिंगन कर लिया वक्त ने
फिर उनको आज

aas ya aansoo

आस न बन जाए आँसू
इसी ख्याल से डरते रहे
जब तकदीर ने दस्तक दी
हम डर से सिमटे रहे

न हो जाए उम्मीद से फासला
सारी रात गुजारी इस सोच में
जब खोला द्वार पहली किरण पर
तब न दिखे अपने ही आँसू अंधेरों में

I, Me, Myself

Designed, composed and felt by me.

friendship brews...

befriend nature, your pets, your vehicle

and for that matter your office...

you'll not have to run anywhere then.
