Nostalgia...

Soulful strummings...mellow lights...brimming emotions and a wish to sway...
Surrounded by the moments...etched on the shining web of my life... engraved in my mind...
A walk down the memory lane hand-in-hand with reflections of the past smiling on the surface of the river of life...
I feel it all once again... an explosion of memories...

familiar touch...
treat to step over a failure...
fluttering of unexpressed attractions...
teary eyes and wet shoulders...
walk in the rain on the sea...
smiling eyes...
conversations on the bus ride...
intiation of an unending love with soft companions...
flowing rivers...
shared chairs and thoughts...
barefooted walks on the sandy beach...
pride of gaving a nickname...
being taught to cross a road...
rainful walk through the fields...
talks across seas...
feeble attempts at learning another language...
One jacket...
bonfires, birthdays and cribbs...
developing a unsatiable sweet tooth...
generalizing crushes and criticizing heart-breakers...
parapet wall talks...
expression of gratitude, failures and welcomes...
thinking by the river side...
dancing to loneliness...
story reading sessions interspersed with barter of randomness...
burning of hands in the snow...

Discovery of the perpetual child...

A merry go round in the colorful fair called 'life'...

I feel the sweetness, randomness, compassion, concern... the intimacy and a feeling of being looked after...All rolled in one... The great balance of life is tipped and even smiles at me... Between the everyday moments of nicknames, gossip, chocolates, treats, fights, misunderstandings... special moments like these found a place and to this day are making me smile...

Ganpati Bappa Morya...

P.S. Finally completed the Ganesh on the wall of my room.... and on the perfect day :)

Random thoughts of contentment...

I feel happy today... Not happy actually content and I donno why...

today it feels like nothing would make a difference...

and everythings happening and I am just an onlooker
Thats everything is meant to be good so I just need to flow with the river...
I feel that along with the sand in my bag... Probably a piece of that peaceful heaven made its place somewhere in my heart...
That smile that had hid itself somewhere... resurfaced on seeing the sea for hours under the spell of rain and clouds and just hearing the universal music of eternity...
Simple pleasures of an intelligent company wherein the words dont really matter...
Mutual lazyness... understanding... And a few guitar strings wanna make you dance to the tune of life...
And beautiful and simple dreams of living life surrounded by the wilderness we were born out of... the world of forests, mountains and rivers all around... Ah! the touch of nature... Oh! the possibilities reality holds for us...
Just thinking free and being a freebird... of just letting the blue nun help us discover the thoughts that were always there and formed some connect that is mysterious and somehow still there...

Where art thou?

Oh! the smell straight from heaven...
Attire of a princess riding on a chariot so elegant...
Sighs of the people who see her approach...
A relief to the strained eyes with her cool and relieving accomplices...
Greeted by the animal kingdom and the lesser mortals with smiles...

She comes with a sound that reverberates with the sound of my soul...
A sight full of colors of the world twisted in one thread... spun all over me...
and multiple colorful canopies suddenly cropping up over the others...
She comes with a promise of betterment and washes away all the tears...
And just fills the world with innumerable colors and me up with an urge to just smile...

I wonder where she is this year... why she hasn't yet come here...
My companion since my birth... I hope she is somewhere near... ...

P.S. I hope the rains come and grace us fast... really wanna see the glorious greens all around me...

The Eternal Affair

In those beautiful eyes, naughtiness was filled to the brim...
She wanted to have fun with her darling friend of a few months...
Just tickle him once more before bidding farewell...
To leave an indelible imprint on his heart of her memory...to have him waiting impatiently for her next year round...

She just smiled and had her partners of all crimes just spread their wings...
They conspired with the man in the night sky and spread the white awesomeness all around...
The trees embraced the white sheen and the mountains slept under the comforting white blanket...
It was just a scene out of dreams...

To this unreal dreamland he woke up in the morning...
With her impression on all beings alive and sleeping...
He searched for her all around just to see her for the last time... just to etch her face in his heart...
She kept playing hide and seek with the trees and bushes helping her highness in all the ways they could...
She knew once she met him she would cease to be... she would just turn into a formless shining crystal... And he knew this was the last time he would see for many months to come...

They frolicked and danced around till they were destined to meet and all that was heard was a splash...
The resounding splash that paused the affair of the snow queen with the majestic sun... leaving the two lovers waiting for their time... once again...

P.S. It snowed the night before, and the sight was just breathtaking with snow caught in every nook and corner of the world around us... (Date:21st March 2009)... Couldn't resist reacting on the chirstmassy march :)

Amplified Miniatures...

Under the magnifying glass I wonder... what does the insect feel...

Does it feel exposed or it fulfills the purpose of his existance?

Is it embarassed or it loves being the center of attention?

It thinks about the flaws or the greatness of his being?

It just lets himself be or fools us by putting up his best performance?

What ever it does, does it actually determine what we think of it...

Or we just feel happy and judge it based on our notions...

We just reinforce our beliefs and sacrifice the poor creature for our satisfaction...

So we ever think what goes through the mind of the poor creature under so many magnifying glasses.... Or do we just let it turn into ashes for our happiness...
