aabhas haa...!!

of rainbows, dreams and dark nights....

standing on the other side of the rainbow,
i wonder if everything i see is an illusion...
the flowers around look brighter...
the worries weighing me down seem lighter...
a lovely blue blanket in the sky above i see...
lost in each other--both you and me...
rain drops falling on the parched earth...
smiles a million dollars worth...
no tears glistening for reasons new...
love in the air with just me and you...
standing on the other side of the rainbow,
i wonder if everything i see is just an illusion...

as the night approaches, the rainbow is gone...
the illusion gets hazy but the dream is on...
the flowers dont harbour hope to bloom...
a thousand worries above me loom...
i search the sky for stars in vain...
i find myself on a lonely lane...
i look around but ive lost that smile...
the rain had come to stay only for a while...
new tears flow for reasons old...
a painful realisation and i suddenly grow cold...
ive been there before and i want to grow apart...
because dreaming has always broken my heart...

kuch purane kisse....

thought i'd try my hand at hindi poetry for a change :)

kuch purane kisse aksar yaad aa jate hain,
chupke se mann hi mann dil ko behlate hain...
woh bachpan mein suni pariyon ki kahani,
woh sapno ke mahelo ke raja aur rani...
woh barsaat mein kagaz ki kashti banana,
daravni kahaniyon se ek doosre ko darana...
woh nani se chupakar imli churana,
pakde jaane per unki woh daant khana...
na koi chinta thi na koi fikra,
na pyaar ka tension na mohabbat ka zikra...
girkar chot khate the per mann nahi darta tha,
kabhi nahi bharte kuch zakhm--tab yeh dil jaana nahi karta tha...
apne aap mein mast raha karte the,
sirf ek bhooton ke alawa kisi aur se nahi darte the...
id, diwali christmas manate the sab ek saath,
ab tanhai yaad dilati hain bachpan ki har woh baat...

aaj kho gayi hain kahin woh jadoo bhari umra suhani,
zindagi ki bheed mein mit gayi hain woh bachpan ki kahani...
ab reh gayi hain sirf unki masoom parchaiyan,
phir bhi haule se muskura deti hain yeh bachpan ki nishaniyan...
kuch purane kisse aksar yaad aa jate hain,
chupke se mann hi mann dil ko behlate hain...



lets celebrate the child in us...not just today but all life through....

YAPPY BUDDAY!!

I dont care what people say about you...me was never the one for cheap gossip and then again, even if its true i couldent care less....
I dont care if they smirk when i look at you with dreamy eyes and tell me you are gay with enough conviction that people might just be led to believe u asked them out....i believe its your life and nobody has the right to interfere in it without ur permission....

To me, you are the best of the lot and i really admire you...
I love your smile..i love your style..i love everything about you.....
You will always remain an inspiration to me because u are one person who made it all on his own---started out from zilch and today ur rocking the whole of tinsel town...

You will always remain a role model for not allowing cheap remarks or false allegations get to you and taking it in your stride instead....
for being soo hardworking and ambitious....
for using every obstacle as a stepping stone to success...
for your 'never say die' attitude and perseverence....
heres hoping that u keep smiling and keep making everyone smile for ages to come....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING KHAN!! :)

that special someone....

someone who helps u laugh through the pain...
someone who is always better than the 'best'...
someone who has the answer to all ur silly questions...
someone who sides u for life's every test...

someone who knows exactly the problem...
someone who can help solutions find...
someone who u need never to say thanks or sorry...
someone who u can vouch to neither expect nor mind...

someone who cries when ur sad...
someone who is happy when u smile...
with you who stays at every step...
who crosses with you every single mile...

someone who is your only strength...
ur only support, ur only friend...
when the whole world turns its back on you,
u know on that someone u can depend....

the one who knows your every thought...
who will strive to find a lil 'pink' in every 'blue'...
and if u havent yet met this blessed soul,
dont search too much..cos that someone is YOU!!

DO's and DONT's....

I DO---
think im crazy at times...

know somewhere deep within that im sticking to my comfort zone and probably believing only what i want to believe...

feel horrible when im made to accept that...

fight with myself---a lot...its a pity that either way I lose :-/

listen to what people have to say about me...

care sometimes...

hope that everything in my life falls in place someday....

know that probably that 'someday' might never arrive...

cherish some special moments all i can, lest i ever lose them....


I DONT----
care what the world thinks of me as long as i know im right....

mean to hurt you but almost always end up doing that...

think it is possible for anyone to understand..so they can stop trying!

always hurt..its just those days when everything ive been running from comes rushing to me....

know if i believe in love, easter bunny, tooth fairy, santa claus anymore...

get along well with everyone--but i do try :-/

swear but i have to admit sometimes im soo very tempted to...

expect anything anymore and even if i do im sure it wont hurt as much as it once did....

understand sometimes...and at times, i cant....

want to just exist..i want to LIVE!!

a warm wish!!

may this ocassion bless us all so that the good in our lives may forever triumph over evil :)

have a wonderful dussehra!!
