Adhoori aas...

Kabhi yadoon mein,toh kabhi vaadoon mein
Kabhi neendoon mein,toh kabhi raatoon mein
Kabhi aankhoon mein,toh kabhi aansoon mein
Kabhi muskurahath mein,toh kabhi chupi batoon mein


Kabhi sapno mein,toh kabhi khayaloon mein
Kabhi aarmanoo mein,toh kabhi paimano mein
Kabhi mann mein,toh kabhi dil ke aashiyaano mein
Kabhi jharokho mein,toh kabhi ehsaaso mein


Kabhi bhulana bhi chhahu toh socho ke pardo mein
Kabhi raahoon mein,toh kabhi nighaoon mein
Kabhi ummedoon mein, toh kabhi aashaoon mein
Kaash,tum hote meri taqdeeroon mein,haathoon mein khichi har lakeeroon mein...!!

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids,

on a Merry-go-round?

Or listening to the rains

Slapping to the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

or gazed at the sun into fading the night?

You better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

The music won't last

Do you run each day on the fly?

when you ask,"how are you?"

do you hear the reply?

when the day is done

do you lie in your bed

with the next hundred chores running in your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

Music won't last

Ever told your child

we'll do it tomorrow?

and in your haste,

not see his sorrow?

ever lost touch?

let a good friendship die

cause you never had time 

to call and say,'HI'!

You'd better slow down

don't dance so fast

time is short

The music won't last.

When you run somewhere

you miss half the fun of getting there

when you worry and hurry through your day,

its like an unopened gift...thrown away

Life is not a race,do take it slower

hear the music,before the song is over.

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer in a New York hospital.It was sent by a medical doctor.She wants to see how many people get her poem.This girl has 6 months left to live ,and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone,to live their life to the fullest,since she never will.

Mumbai from my lens....

                                                                    Saifee Hospital

                                                                    Marine  Drive

                                                                      Juhu beach

I tried capturing some snaps of some scenic places of Mumbai through my camera.Hope you all like them.

This one's for you mom..!!

It was a fine spring morning,

the sun like a glowing ring.

I arrived in this world,

with my little fingers all curled.

As I opened my eyes,

I saw someone with a faint, dainty smile.

Gazing at me with extreme pleasure.

I, unaware of everything,

looked her back aghast....

I led out a sharp cry,

but her grin was as if constant.

I never knew at that moment

who she was, an angel...

As time passed, I discovered a lot.

I realized what was right and what was not.

I started calling that seraph, my mom.

She took care of me, nursed me,

nurtured me, like a fragile sapling...

As i grew up, she guided me.

She supported me, she encouraged me.

All the vague paths lighted up.

I started gaining my sensitivity,

as if i had impulsively touched a hot cup!!!

Now when I’m old enough,

She is still beside me as always.

Beaming at me in the same way,

as she did when our eyes first met...!!

Just a Thought....

For every moonless night, there's a shining star

For every dark cloud, there's a silver lining

For every shower of rain, there's a shady tree

For every vague path, there's a ray of light

For after every autumn, spring always arrives

For every drop of tear, there's an awaiting bundle of joy

For after every heartbreak, things someday will be fine

For every special opportunity, there's a sign

For until unless you lose a penny, you will never earn a dime

For if there is sugar, there is also lime

For every chilly breeze, there's definitely some warmth around

For every struggle, there's a fruit to bear

For every mistake, there's always a second chance behind

For if you see hatred, Love will surely make you blind

For every sorrow, there's a passage of time

For every injustice, God's on the right side

For every misery, there's compassion still alive

And,

For every failure, hope for success should never die!!!

My Guiding Light

                                  While walking on a dusty road,
                                  Never following any life's code,
                                  Came a turn on the rusty path
                                  which made me realize my life's math!
                                 
                                     The course was foggy and unclear,
                                      No thoughts striking at my mind's rear,
                                      I didnt knew what my actions meant
                                      Clueless about my words and what i vent!
                                        
                                        Walking like a lost soul,
                                         Unaware of my life's goal,
                                        The path was dark without any spark
                                         with no directions as a land stark!
                                       
                                           The turn lighted the entire pathway,
                                            Sudden like a breeze,i was bound to sway,
                                             Thoughts and ideas flashed in my head
                                              I understood my follies,
                                               my past actions and what all i said!
                                                
                                                Then i felt a raindrop on my face,
                                                 My steps started slowing down their pace,
                                                 I sensed happiness rising within me
                                                 I apprehended the mystery
                                                 of what i wanted to be!

                                                   The raindrops watered the stark land,
                                                    Like waves touching the dry sand,
                                                    But the light now began to fade
                                                    terror struck,i thought life's on raid!

                                                      But i made my self to know,
                                                      You get the fruits of the seeds u sow,
                                                       The light was there just to guide,
                                                        To walk straight and not on the side!

                                                       There is no need to be heartbroken and sad,
                                                       Live life king size and not according to the fad,
                                                        I was'nt dejected and dissapointed anymore,
                                                        Life is not like any old crazy folklore!
                                       
                                                         It's important to know
                                                         that u cant get whatever you desire,
                                                         It's not always about
                                                          achieving what all u aspire,
                                                         I finally comprehended my life's track,
                                                         Imagining the guiding light 
                                                         always behind my back!

My Inner Consciousness

         I felt numb, I felt sore

        I felt lifeless….distraught of passion

        Everything around was so dreary and dull

         So worthless and hollow…difficult to overcome.

        But a wave of changes ushered me aside

        Life became beautiful and precious, something worthwhile.

       Things became virtual, lovely to behold

       As revelation bolted, struck me hard on face

      Perceiving my journey, a Kaleidoscope of false notions

     Committing blunders, faltering through this daze.

     Looking at the other side of the coin, I realized

     A contrary world of reasoning and questions

     Through my own eyes, I visualized.

    Feeling full of zeal and enthusiasm

      Taking up tasks with new found excitement,

    I discovered myself, enjoying the bliss

     With no regrets an unleashed true happiness

    Is all that exists in this realm of roller costar ride.  

   Ups and downs its part and parcel in this randomness

And now I feel the ultimate pleasure and pride.
