Specks of dirt

Now I am free again,

To die,

In the jungles of reason

I have found a new toy.

One rare day, I witnessed along with

Shy morning sunlight beam

A dew drop’s fall

From the tip of a leaf to the ground

Rolling over

It created riot of colors,

Till got swallowed by the earth

And I recorded a memory

To roll around,

Even though when I stood up to leave

All that remained was

A speck on the dirt.

It took a few days to sink in,

That if you look from

Far enough above,

We all are just specks of dirt,

Even the galaxy can become a dot.

Enlightened with joy,

I carved a saying

‘If you can’t laugh at yourself,

Then count the stars’.

With a smile, proud and tall

I walked away,

One in a 5 billion human toy

Moving in a sphere of clay.

The feel

Seen her a few times and

Today talked, and

I am crushed.

When the heart sinks

It takes more time

To imprint.

And mysterious eyes,

Hypnotize, and I turn,

Every time she leaves.

And I know, she’s the

Bestest, beautifullest

In the worldest…

And I surge ahead,

Dance with imagination, Fly…

Don’t read, just feel.

Artificial dream

Artificial dream

I want to tell you a hundred things,

And whisper in your ears,

A thousand things, and

Share a million experiences,

And then some more…

I want to be with you,

Hand in hand, wherever you fly,

And see those, ever curious

About-to-laugh eyes,

Forever…

I want to hear your voice,

In every tone there is,

And sit with you and watch

The Sun going round

And round…

And walk with you

In the rain,

Water dripping from our hair,

On paths, weaved with

Wild wet flowers…

And run on the beach,

Play catch-me-catch,

And listen to waves and wind

While watching the skies dream,

And then some more… 

a new era

this june 2012 seems to me like a new era, as if i have passed a new mile stone. its wonderful how many new things you learn when a jump in your perception levels occur.

had a 15 day travelling trip in the last 2 weeks in the month of May, and passed through Nasik, Mumbai, and Kerala... i had been away for 2 years and the gap seemed enormous, changes every where very noticeable.  the world does seem to double its speed of change with every decade.  

in Kerala met my university friend, and his small family of about 150 people... it was awesome to meet those people and only then i realized how much i missed meeting all those people.  the return journey from kerala to nagpur happened in an auto pilot mode, i was in a trance of nostalgia, so the good thing was i was in a slow moving train and had nothing to do but day dream..

post return, i am meeting more than a dozen people who are interning for a month or more duration, and its wonderful to meet new people as well as getting back to colleagues, even though the gap was just 15 days, it seem longer.  (maybe its just me, or maybe others also feel the same way).

can't put down the changes that have happened to me in a very specific way..  and oh yeah, i am moving ahead with barefeet life style, and enjoyed traveling barefoot even in the summer... the sensations that every step gives is priceless, and its a shame to close our feet for most of our life time.  some day footwears will become like video cassettes... ;)

Painting

Painting

Let it be hanged,

On a nail, in your room,

To be admired, they said.

The painted house carried

That weight without a word,

Where I live, with my parents.

I stared, at the expanse,

The depth and colors,

Which they gave me to look at,

With an expensive sign underneath,

Invest in art was that week’s advice

Of priests at my father’s office.

Green grass, pretty flowers

And a lone mountain looks back at me,

Wherever I walk inside my room.

I was annoyed at the intrusion,

Until the golden frames gleamed,

Made us friends, fellow prisoners.

Daughter…

A love is lost,
Do not mourn,
Before ghosts from the past arise,
Let the dawn enter soon…

You have a beautiful life,
Ahead of you,
Wasted words don't count,
Princess of hearts look back, don't.

You have not lost,
And broken hearts mend,
And I see you,
As a fairy tale's end.
