Bouquet of Memories..

Will this be the last time I see you, I know not

As I close my eyes stealing the last glance from you

To keep it safe away in my heart eternally

Those flowers will fade away with time

But no gift would be more precious than that bouquet of flowers-

Having already found its way in my memoir ceaselessly

Partings will always be painful though I may never say one to you

As I walk along my memory lane hoping-

To be caught again by your grin somewhere, sometime beyond time

I will never know what was going in her mind, while walking the altar, but her eyes told a thousand words

Return of the Rains !

 

Looking at the sky to the changing colors and moods
as the summer breeze cools down giving way to the rain
as the tiny droplets dance to the tune of breeze till it finally hit the sand
splashing all the way, declaring its arrival, making me wonder
is it the mighty you, or you know, I would be watching you all the way!
Do you still remember that little girl in frock playing in the rain, hidden -
away from an unknown world beyond the walls in the protective arms of her mother
unaware of the challenges she will face and the griefs she will bear
As she played in the tiny raindrops with her little hands
and sometimes popping out her little head in rain
did you know, you wont hurt her, that She will always  be happy to see you.

 
My hands are not little anymore, I still love playing in rain
but why is it that every time your droplets touch me
it hurts, though it never pierced, bringing tears in my eyes.
Is it that you know me too well that you wash away  my  tears without a trace;
You with your mighty thunders and lights still know that I’m not afraid-
that I’ll never be afraid of you, but  will be waiting;
those little hands may have gave way to wrinkled, weary fingers,
though time cant change much to the memories of those rainy days!

PS: Im totally in love with the summer rain in Bengaluru! Its a rainy treat everyday, what a way to end a summer day :)

Random Thoughts - On a Rainy Day..!!

 

New Year, New Resolutions, Promises to finish all those you have started yet left half way, yet it also brings the untainted memories of childhood. Was that the winter rain outside, pouring mercilessly trying to come inside my glass door or was it because of the Kishore Kumar voice melodiously and melancholy coming out of the radio or was that the hot cup of coffee on a rainy day which did the trick!! Yes, I do miss, my childhood days, my celebrations at home, playing around grandpa and those garam onion pakodas of my granny, its all running behind with past leaving me ahead.

I'm back to one of my somber moods missing my childhood days and pals wondering what I’m doing in this city.

Memories brings again those days of innocence where rain meant unending play in water and getting soaked, where celebration meant sharing one piece of cake among ten people, where impossible meant just another word from dictionary you didn’t want to pronounce., where fight meant your little arguments to sit on your favorite chair, where friends meant forever unconditionally, where Love was Papa's share of extra candy than others, where care was moms way of tugging you up and giving goodnight kiss, where grandpa was the best story teller than today’s thriller movie, where fashion was following Mama's style, where tears were meant to bring dear ones closer, Where life was lived with each moment cherished. I wonder did I left all that in the past
Wish I could just push a button to go back and pause there forever..!

I’m back after a long sabbatical, I guess everyone needs a break, but I feel more alive here penning down the thoughts. I missed you all and I know that I have a lot to catch up…

Happy New Year to All, lets live every moment of your life full, so that looking back, you don’t have a moment to regret..!!

Musings of a Lost Mind..!

Lost friends, death of dear ones, staying in an unknown city missing the place I loved which was part of my life and what more…

A journey to leave everything behind..

But even that ended so fast reminding me that good things end too fast..

Was I worth it?

Timeless Memories..!

Ruminations enthralling my world

Open, yet powerless by the melancholy of the unspoken words

So near, yet far, was it destined this way?

To fade away with the time even before it begin

Only to be remembered for the eternities like a timeless tale.

Leaving me wondering, was it my first love, or just an obsession?

Monsoon Blues..

Monsoon has finally arrived with all its mighty

Touching the earth fiercely, making its presence

Taking me back to my days that will never return

As the memories flood like an unending tyranny-

Filling my eyes, it washed away the last drop of tears…

Monsoons are finally here, bringing memories of the by-gone era. I loved it all the time, it’s like part of my life, may be due to the reason that they have witnessed it all.
