An ode to the bygone days.. Welcome 2010 !

               The tranquil breeze that blows in as a harbinger of joy,

          The smoke that billows from the distant chimney up into the sky;

               Reminds me of the losses that cost me my peace of mind,

               And the peerless gains that I would time and again rewind.

          There were sleepless nights when I stared blankly at the dark sky

            And yet those tiny twinkling stars silently stimulated me to try.

               Hey! But here flicker some vague memories of the past

          What about the New Year resolutions that I had vowed last?

Life is a simple addition where you carry forward all your unrealized dreams,

The unaccomplished commitments, unfulfilled promises and the unpunished sins.

             This last day of the year is reminiscent of every bygone day,

                 And so folks, I just dropped in with all my heart to say

           Be good, be kind, be humble, be wise, be human and be sane

      May all your efforts get crowned with success and none goes in vain!

                The people around the world hope and so I hope too,

          The coming year will be great for all, and I wish it becomes true!

~The Woman in your Life ! ~ - A Tribute to all Men

She leaves her comfy house; that she inhabits from birth,

The sunlight of her courtyard and the warmth of her hearth.

Moments to relish are umpteen, Memories are in no dearth;

The boundless love of her siblings, that cheer and the mirth.

She leaves behind her dearest pals and chums for you,

And embraces happily all that is ambiguous and new.  

She moulds herself every time as if she’s a drop of dew,

And wins your heart with her ways so genuine and so true.

She smiles in times of despair and pretends to be gay,

Because she’s the pillar whose strength can never sway.

She toils, she will strive; she fasts and she will pray,

And yet without fail spread a smile to make your day!

She is a mate, she is a friend, and she is a loving partner,

She is the one who anchors you and always around the corner.

She brings life to this world and so she’s is the creator,

She is a lover, a wife, a soul mate, and proudly a mother.

Your dwelling of bricks became a Home the moment she came,

Our charming and docile maiden espoused to append your name.

She changed herself entirely for you and yet she got the blame,

Your treasured freedom got curtailed is still what you proclaim?

DiWali Thoughts ~ Let there be Light ! ~

In the midst of despair and clouds of gloom,

There is always a ray of hope that lets every flower bloom.

In the times of anguish spread across the mile,

There is always a streak of faith that lets every heart smile.

It is that time of the year when we chide all our fears,

Our hearts gushing with cheer and we shed all our tears.

When the darkest night appears the brightest and gay,

And petite candles kindle to illuminate all the way.

Welcoming the day as it ushers with veiled joys in the offing,

Celebrating the never ceasing human instinct of Living!

The sheen, the Shine and the Gleam radiating all over

The Mirth, the Ecstasy and the Thrill accentuating the fervor!

The Goddess of Wealth blessing one and all,

She spreads her opulence that stirs every soul.

Recession may bite, the Markets may crash

But the belief stands firm that we will start afresh.

Hope never quivers, Faith never shivers,

Come what may, the human spirit never deters!!

These days will be gone; these times will be past,

It’s the desire to battle all odds that will persist and last.

                              

Wishes are plenty, euphoria abound,

Let’s shun all our worries as Diwali is around!!  :-)
