"perfect,imperfect"

Ages ago, I tried to hold on to her,
But my past came in between two of us !

And we moved on to have a perfect life.

I wonder, am I the only one still wondering in an imperfect world !

"karma"

Ramadan,the month of blessings is here and I wonder why ?
Things don’t change with my people,and my land............ !

I don't wonder anymore !

People of my land make news with making artificial shortages.
They lie,cheat,hoard,deceive.
They cannot follow traffic laws,they cannot respect life and liberty.

I wonder why people from my land wonder;
Don’t wonder,it is simple;

Beside their leaders,
People themselves are low in character,faith and discipline.
They are victim of their own deeds: Karma.

"a long distance affair"

On my iphone, I saw uTube videos;
The videos of the town, streets, people of the city; I left behind.
Yes,things have been changed.

Ages old images,which froze in my mind then,are not there any more.
No more delicate eastern romance.
No more faith,unity,discipline.
No more institutions.
No more people to proud of,
No more principles to die for.

Yes,I love to live in those frozen past images as realities........
Then I saw uTube videos on my iphone.
It felt like all of my memories were a cliche’ of a long distance affair.

"upfront declaration"

In the beginning,middle or end of our love lives;
There are no dead lines.
There are no ultimatums.

At first I love you,
Then I hate you,
And finally I am walking away.

First you love me,
Then you hate me,
And finally you are pulling away.

You see,we fall and fail in love together;

As love is an up front declaration, not a back ground diplomacy.

"ego"

I am, who I am,
I am a drop of water.

You are, who you are,
You are an ocean of water.

Yes,I can be lost into you.
Yes,you can be lost into me.......only if you ignore your ego !

"tulips"

I felt the distance between two of us.
It felt like oceans apart when I fall in love.

Until one day,those tulips turn into two lips.

"ring"

Two people in this fast life were in love.
Their love was without a string.
That was their commitment,
Until one day he got down on his knee with a ring !!

"out of body experience"

"Yes,I had an out of body experience once",I said in my metaphysics class.

I remember then in my college years.
I was shy,she was bold.
This was then but now it can be told.

Once upon a time:
She looked at me,I was blank.
She got closer to me,I was blank.
She spoke to me, that was my out of body experience !!

is this real or a distraction ?

Is this real or a distraction ?

Living a life with my God's abound blessings.
OMG,I am not thankful to my blessings.

My distractions make me swing from what is real.
The glory of K-2,
The civilizations of Harappa,
The silk route of Khyber Pass,
The salt mine of Khiwara.

You see,I know what is real but here comes my distractions:
Get rich overnight schemes,
Bombardment by advertisements:pretty models as cars,girls,fabrics,stuffs.
Societal pressures,peer pressures to accomplish something,
Do whatever it takes to be there.

I just need a way to keep my focus !
I need to ask :
Is this real or a distraction ?

"this one for you papa"

Today I was stuck in traffic at a cross road.
While sitting there,I saw from my car's rear view mirror;
A car with three children in school uniform sitting on back seat.
The driver was a man with a smile on his face.
But his eyes were back and forth looking at his wrist watch.

While sitting at that cross road,I remembered you papa.
Dropping us to school and getting late for your work.
You always smiled,never complained.
I remember your smiling face papa.

I am grown up now,I am not a kid now.
And it has been a long time that I said this to you.
May be I never told this to you.
I never saw it coming.
And it has been a long time that I said this to you :
"I love you papa".

As I entered Harvard's parking lot,I said.
"I am on the top of the world because of you papa".

Then in my mind this song echoed:
"You raise me high because I was on your shoulders ".

And I felt that my papa was smiling back to me !
