Promise of the passing time

A moment in life you have waited for

Has passed by and you didn’t see it

You don’t remember a knock on the door

You don’t remember a touch on the forehead

All you see is the traces of sand left behind

All you feel is the comfort in your heart

That the promise was kept.

The moment that takes the pain out of the past

The moment that takes away the fear of the future

The moment that makes everything perfect

Shall visit you when you least expect

You would never know when, but it would, my friend.

In the meantime, my friend, 

Don’t let the bitterness of all that has happened make you bitter

Don’t forget everything is beautiful if only you have the courage to make it beautiful

Don’t forget to be happy because happiness is only a choice

Don’t forget the people who stood by you…till that moment arrives!

There shall be that day as well

When the guilty feet revisit your paradise

You wonder what are they looking for in the ashes

Bones? but it was not body that was set on fire

You would have nothing to offer, no forgiveness, not even pity

And the paradise you are rebuilding has no place for the guilty

So that day shall pass too leaving no footprints …my friend!

almost!

I woke up to a dream of snakes, haunting enough
That I feel I am entering some disaster zone

Very early in the morning, I could feel the fatigue when I boarded the bus

What did I know, just around the corner
I would witness an act of kindness

That would make my heart almost dance with joy

Even if I am walking into a tornado, I thought,
I wouldn't mind for I am happy
And I would wear a smile in my heart

I was only standing by but
I feel like buying her a bouquet of white flowers
And saying 'thank you', if only I could

I look out the window, there I see,
Light blue sky with occasional white clouds,

One or two birds flying free and high,
Making me jealous
And I almost smile loudly

Just when I thought this was almost perfect
I almost missed my stop,
In the middle of the road busy with racing cars,
Scribbling my thoughts on the mobile,
Looking at the wheels of the trucks passing by,
I wonder what the tornado could be.

How do you wish to celebrate your B'day?

For some, birthday is just another day. And for many it's a day to feel special and get all the attention one can afford. Have you ever thought what would be the best way to celebrate this day?

How about spending it with your mom and present her with some nice gift? This sounded very meaningful to me, wow! I must have caused her so much pain all my life yet she is the one who makes me feel special the most (Father India gives her a tough competition in this regard !!) God, I love them so much...

Send yourself a card. A few days or weeks before your birthday find a card you love, sign it and write yourself a note. Then address and stamp the envelope and ask someone to mail it to you a couple of days before your birthday. This is a great way to guarantee a card, and I promise it will make you smile.

Go shopping!! I'm sure you have thought of this one already.

Go on a weekend trip, do some new and exciting adventures/sports! Wish I could make it to amazon forests some day, not alone of course..

Go out with family or close friends to your favorite restaurant (tried and tested over the ages with guaranteed results)!!
