A DISTANT LAND

In a frenzy I just wrote this sometime back. Thoughts running all over the place...no hold I had over them and as they transformed into words on paper they beckoned me with their charm to a land far away.



As I walked on the road
With only stars for company
Like the moon I felt, so blessed today
To walk along in light so beautiful


Even if alone I walked
I heard voices egging me on
Every breath louder than a whisper
In sync with the heart, life blew through


So beautiful was nature I see a vision all day
One that takes me to a land faraway
Where all my life lives panned out
Filled with happiness lay a road waiting


Far I wish to run away tonight
Going away from this life I have
Even if I know many would die to be
As me, I live life – lost in motion


Hold my hand, oh friend I say
Hold me tight so I dont run
This life I do wish to see for long
With you I wish I had more time


As all emotion drains out
I feel my lips quiver in mirth
Some joy my heart seems to feel
At peace rests my mind tonight


Love, yes I do love you all I wish to say
And I do say it with all my heart
With a tear in my eye I depart
For a journey I know I take alone


In black and white I see the road ahead
With shadows of many that tread before
No music, no beat, no heart, no love
I leave behind all, crossing over tonight.

WOMEN'S DAY - YET AGAIN

Image
So there are a million messages floating around today on how to respect the women in our lives, how each of us idolises the women we have seen as we grew older, marketing gimmicks and sales sprees in every segment - from flowers to furniture, from jewellery to kitchen appliances. This day irks me because some factions of the society go all out to “celebrate” women and another faction spearheaded by many ‘fe-male chauvinists’, not just feminists, claim that they should be respected everyday and they are asking for equality and not specialty treatment. I am also happy this day exists - it goes to show that there is atleast scope for discussion that there is a need for improvement in overall quality of life for women in general. I speak not as a women, but as a human being - not an animal that needs special rights and training. But I pose this question - should I be ‘asking’ for respect?   This day is a western thought - this statement dilutes the importance of the argument and brainw...

COVID and ME

It was the year 2020, much like every other year and was the same for everyone till it became unlike any other year. Only, it was still the same for everyone and we were all cooped up in our selves as the rulemakers made new rules by the day and the naysayers opined in empty words. I am not new to loss, joy, thrill, bereavement, elation, love, enthusiasm, anger or depression, and neither are you  which is what makes us all human and how we act upon each emotion is the thin line between sanity and madness. This time I learnt to be a better friend.

None of this happened in the wedding we had so painstakingly organised, with nothing stopping short in terms of entertainment or being unordinary. A famous person in a very famous sleeveless...

Saying Goodbye...

Wrote this more than year back, somewhere in the wee end of 2017. Farewells are never easy and every time another friend leaves, it just gets more and more difficult to say goodbye. Atleast this time the goodbye is merely physical, as only the distances have increased, but the bonds remain strong. The heart turns a heavy turn As the road ahead becomes a blur That's when I realise there's a tear Waiting to drop, will burn my cheek I fear Why this weight I do not understand This journey I wish to make backward This is how one feels at the gates I shall sit, shall yearn in quiet, I'm afraid The act of bidding adieu has never been easy Hurts even more for you, my friend As time with you hasn't been very long And my eyes wish to hold you even at the end To sit beside and tell you stories With gay abandon I wish to talk Wish distances were just numbers to do away And I be at your door at the next knock Hold onto my memories I ask For I grasp at every ...
