Happy Birthday Vidhya..!!

As the candles go off

and the cake is cut

As the blessings flood 

and the joy goes viral

Here comes a little wish

with loads of love 

from this little girl

whom just you know

Words can never tell you

how important you are to me

as you share that li'l corner

which is hidden from the whole world

You never answered my questions

Never stopped me cry

You are so stupid, that

You understood my half-smile

We played, We went on crazy trips

We drove in the chilling nights

We woke up at the weirdest hours

to just spend time with us

you are that dear friend

I miss with me today

for you are the best

and know me the best

Happy birthday darling

may you be the happiest

as your smiles

bring me joy

LIGHT..!!

Happy Diwali to all my readers..!!

through the silence of the darkness
the symphony of light travels
bringing joy and fun all around

one diya makes it all
beautiful and bright
magically illuminating the night

with family joy multiplies
as we shout, talk and laugh
the joy out loud

the festival of lights
always different but this one
definitely special

with a new family
with first diya lit
everlasting smile

Frustrated Soul..!!

Its been so long
for a pat on the back
a star in the red ink

its been so long
for a winking eye
and dance in the rain

its been so long
for a walk alone
a movie marathon

its been so long
for a smile from heart
and the warm hug of a friend

its been so long
for a word from the quill
a stroke of the brush

All in all
I am frustrated

Smile v/s Power..!!

"You need power only when you want to do something harmful

Otherwise, Love is enough to get everything done"

--Charlie Chaplin

It's so true for many of us remember that 'always smiling' kindergarten teacher better than the 'Never smiling' professor at college. I believe that a 'true' smile is the face of love and ask anything with a smile, you get it (unless you ask for everything you shouldn't).

"Silent Message In Love Etched"

The beauty of a smile
treasure it is for life
every journey of a mile
with it is less tough

Just a little curve
with love when carved
touches every nerve
all worries definitely halved

Power brings no love
instead harms and hurts
never feel the need of the above
as it doesn't hear if's and but's

Never think of using Power
as Love and Smile wins forever

Thanks to BAT that I am atleast writing one piece in a month….else its been a writer’s block for a long time now J. Also, its been an even longer that I wrote some form of poetry, so choose to write a NONET this time. Read more about Nonet Here.

Before I started this post, I wanted to see what all did I post in BAT about. While I read, I felt that it has many times been a “story” but what I also got to know is that it’s going to be my seventh entry for BAT. I am so happy to have this theme for my 7^th post as the world has just seven basic colors VIBGYOR..!!

Yellows and reds on a canvas white 

With hint of green and blue skies 

Twinning beauty and elegance 

Hills of daffodils and 

Violet tulips 

Bring alive life's 

Freshly cool 

Splendor 

Light 

Light 

With grace 

Blends color 

Artistically 

Into a bouquet 

That’s just pleasantly white 

Lustering presence until 

A droplet unwraps the beauty 

To a rainbow that’s an artist’ s dream

Along with this Nonet, I also painted the VIBGYOR today....Will post the pic of the painting in the next BAT...!!! Till then happy writing and enjoy reading..!!!

Sweet n Sour..!!!

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 41; the forty-first edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is "SWEET AND SOUR"

Sweet & Sour: Its called Marriage

I never knew I would love someone as uniquely as I love you

You irritate me to the heights; let me get tired taking care of you

You never leave me love notes, nor bring me flowers

You hardly say ‘I Love You’ nor wish on special days

Yet I love you for your little love that’s so rare

I dreamt of special holidays; wrote love poems

Celebrated life like none other

Then I met you; time had come and gone by

With no memories to cherish; no dreams to recollect

Yet I love you for the little time we spend together

Happiness was a common feeling, which just happened everyday

Sorrow was a distant nightmare, which never dared to touch my shadow

Little things brought a smile that filled my heart and soul

But I hardly remember when we laughed out together

Yet I love you for the little smile that’s so rare

But

I never knew I would love someone as uniquely as I love you

For the way you hold me and bear my madness

For the way you sense my sight even in a crowd when I look at you

For the way you hug me tight when pain sunk in even before I knew

Yet I hate you for changing the person I was

I still play with colors and read many novels

I roam around with my dear buddies all day long

And get to meet my parents any day I want to

For its your support that binds these all

Yet I hate you when you wake me up early morning

You held my hand and guided me through the dark

You reach to take out my fears and throw them away

You made me stronger and tougher by leaving my decisions to me

You stood by me whenever I was about to fall

Yet I hate you when you don’t like what I cook

Dear Husband,

I waited for a long to find you and its been years I found

Yet I am empty and incomplete; I still await ‘a complete me’

My patience has no end

I shall wait a lifetime

To enjoy our marriage that’s sweet and sour

For it’s just the two of us forever

Your's Truly Me #23

Better be silent than debate

sometimes we don't really need to speak

silence speaks more

LIFE...!!!

Across life
we cross different paths
every path teaches
the assigned life's lesson

If seem complicated

it us not life
our instinct decides
what life gives

Accept with smile
all life brings
hug it tight
happy we shall be

Written for: One Single Impression & Sunday Scribblings...!!!

ORIGAMI...!!!

Beautiful life's folds

Artistic Origami

Silhouette as unfold

Written for: Haiku Heights...!!!

UNLIMITED..!!!

Unlimited are
the number of options
but bound to choose only one

The choice decides
what you shall be
after years of practice

If you are woman
no choice left to you
as all are already taken

So never blame your"self"
as your fate is decided
not by you...never by you

Written for: One Single Impression...!!!

MOMENT

Merry time


Omnipresent

Miss to realize

Eternal truth

Never I stop

To wait for it, the Moment

BREEZE...!!!

Oh! Cool breeze of love

bring me back from land unknown

show beauty of life

TEARS OF LOVE...!!!

"I Love You...!!!" She said.
He smiled like always. In the two years of marriage, he never uttered the precious three words.

But today, she didn't expect him to reply back. She wasn't expecting the smile.

They were crying the tears of love as they both knew that its the last time.

She is dying.

Kolkata...A different destination...!!!

Kolkata...a name I heard a hundred times..a city that wove stories for centuries now...a place that hold a different place in my heart. I have been reading hearing and imagining Kolkata from a long time now. Today when I see Kolkata, I prove right of my imaginations.

After celebrating Sankranti in a village, we headed to Kolkata on 15/Jan/2013. After a long tiring and a late journey, we reached Howrah station half past five to find it all dark already. Howrah station itself by all means worth seeing. The biggest station I ever saw till date. With nomads all around, we looked no different in our journey clothes. The only thing I could think is to reach the hotel and freshen up.

The pre-paid taxi service was of no help and hence, we hired a taxi ourselves. The driver dada, the first person we met in Kolkata who helped us a lot in understanding Kolkata and specially plan our trip for the next day. While conversing with him, we also had a glimpse of the traffic, roads and people around. One thing anyone can notice in the very first hour is the "dirty footpaths". One can see a tiny little shop just next to a pile of Khachra and all this is all around the city. The first day, we never found any completely clean road.

Freshening up in a low class "luxury hotel", we had a quick dinner and set out to see the night life of the city of Joy. To our surprise, at 8 p.m. half the city already closed. Nothing was happening. Taxis didnot drive. We were struck. Then, the complete underground metro came to our help and the rail guard is worth a mention. For the single information we sought, he spoke continuously for a minute in bengali. When we informed about our Bengali illiteracy, he said he was struggling too as he also doesnt know good bengali.

With help from youngsters around, we managed to go to the biggest mall of Kolkata (so far the only decent place) and the exteriors were good but the interiors were awesome. The beautiful and vibrant colors caught the lens of my camera. Except the colors and the engineering, everything was same as any other mall.

Coming back, we got down near Kalighat. it was half past nine already and the roads were near to being deserted. We walked almost near to the temple to make sure that we dont take the wrong road the next morning and we got it right.

Amidst all this, I found Kolkata a different destination in life. A city which might have to start questioning about being a "city". The capital of the Bengalis is still trying to wakeup from the long left charishma during the British reign.

As the night fell silent, the tired body yearned for rest and hence, we dozed down. We doze off to rise for another different experience...!!!

Day 1 in Kolkata: 16/Jan/2013.
