To that friend

I once had a friend,
we used to hang out like there was no end,
Life was like a fantasy land,
a place so grand, that makes you crazy- crazy, crazy happy!
Oh, we loved each other and played all day, like the whole world was our playground,
then one day that friend moved around, the world all of a sudden became empty.
In touch we did keep, until life gave us a kick and that friend got replaced by others,
Once in a while those memories flashed and I shed a few tears- of joy and happiness, thinking today I will call that friend as life kept us moving further apart and ahead.
One day I got a message- “Ms. Your friend is no more”,
the bitterest tears are shed over graves for words left unspoken and deeds left undone.
In the end we remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
To that friend who’s shining up there and sending all the light my way, a friend who was hard to find, hard to leave and impossible to forget- “ there's nothing I can change wherever you are, whichever world you go in, there's always going to be one empty place for you in my heart nobody can replace never gone, never far, in my heart is where you are. Always close, every day, every step along the way. Even though for now, we've got to say good-bye, you'll be there forever in my life”

TO THE UNKNOWN MANY!!

To the unsung heroes, who fight till the last breath!!
To the many pledges, promising sacrifice till death!!
To all the overcoming fears, blood and tears shed!!
To their motherland, after being laid to rest is all but a wasteland!!
To all those trying times, with hurt and vengeance in their lives!!
and all triumphant victories, with major glories!!
To the deep longing and endless waiting to embrace their beloved!!
To those unsung heroes- the unknown many who are laid to sleep forever fighting for their motherland's pride only so we could sleep one more night!!
to all the real heroes the jawans of this country!!

LAST WORDS!!!

Talk in everlasting words and dedicate them all to me,
and I will give you all my life, I'm here if you should call to me,
you think that I don't even mean a single word I say...


Words- thouands uttered daily,
some nasty and others hastily,
they decide your personality,
while certain things are best left unspoken,
while others could lead to many hearts broken,
words- a privileged few get to express,
dealing with a certain words you'd bet is a stress,
tread carefully with your words, you never know when your first could be your last spoken,
life in this unpredicatble world- alive today, gone tomorrow,
words spoken from january- december, last words are all that people will remember,
first impressions are the last impressions, when your gone last spoken words are the first that people will remember forever,
always end your conversations with the best & sweetest words, cos thats all that'll be etched forever...

it's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away.....
make it a point to end on a good note!!

THEN & NOW

Then I was 8, now I am 18
Then I was innocent, now I am a bitch
The I the world loved/accepted me the way I was, now they love/accept me on my coolness.
Then I loved my parents, now I fight with them,
Then I fought with my sibling, now I can’t live w/o my sibling
Then I was directionless, now I have 100s of ‘em
Then I ran to catch a ball, now I run to catch a train/fame
Then I had a halo, now I have horns
Then I followed, now I lead
Then life was flawless, now life is filled with obstacles
Then I was just another girl, now I can’t afford to be just another girl,
Then I was in Bombay, now I am in Mumbai,
Then I wanted to be where I am today, now I want to go back to then
A lot has changed since then & keeps changing now, the 1 thing that hasn’t changed is that I had dreams then, I have dreams now
Life has become hectic & I keep loosing myself to now. But this now will soon become then one day & then I would again wanna go back to now. I loved my then , I like my now & I don’t know my future will be how!! But I shall keep dreaming & move on for now!!

LETS CONQUER THE WORLD

Rise and shine, cos you have to!!
don't cry and whine, cos that won't do!!
you have to take over the world, let'em know you have it in you!!
don't let these teen years confuse you,
Hurdles are a plenty in these cross roads,
being Obama or Osama lies in your chores!!
getting fame comes at a cost,
it also makes you feel lost!!
dreams are a plenty when you sleep,
while some others which don't let you sleep!!
So rise and shine
spread your wings left and right!!
ignite the fire in you, cos its time to conquer the world!!

AND SO I CRIED

Every morning I wake up I think of you,
Every Night I sleep I think of you,
There has never been a moment, you didn’t cross mind,
If only you knew, how much you are remembered
If only you could think of me once,
The water flows for life, winds blow for the breeze,
The mountains rise for the sky, the clock ticks for day & night,
The sun brims to rise & shine,
& I live on in the hope of you falling for me one day,
This life seems to be a far cry, it seems to depair,
It journeys along the obstacles to find your path at the end,
These cross roads exude your faint memories,
The presence of those sweet memories illusions the bitter absence
& SO I CRIED , when you embraced me in your arms, a wait I longed for!!!

THINGS FALL APART

Don’t they? Every time you feel life is going good & smoothly, suddenly from nowhere comes a blow & takes away all the happiness, why is that things fall apart? ‘’The Secret’’ book says that if we’re positive, the universe will move & give us the thing we want the most be it a job/ bungalow, etc, universe is like a catalogue, where we just need to say positively what we need & it’ll be received, but being too positive can lead to over confidence, this is where things fall apart, loosing that job, the love, the friends, the family or anything.
Like after recession there’s inflation same way after bad there’s good, but if things are falling apart right now, that’s only cause better things await us as the old buildings are demolished to give way to high rises.
The best way to shift your focus when things are falling apart is to look out of your window & feel blessed to have at least a little of what others don’t...if you have food in your fridge, clothes in your cupboard, roof over your head a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the entire world, if you have money in your wallet, a lil change n can go anywhere you want, you are among the top 8 % of the world’s wealthy, if you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are blessed than the million people who won’t survive this week. If you can read this & understand it, you are more fortunate than the 3 billion people who cannot see or suffer being mentally challenged, life is not about complaining for small reasons that don’t really mater, it’s about a thousand other reasons to be happy.
Paulo Coelho wrote this small piece- a group of pilgrims once went to meet a saint known to cure all problems, looking at the number of people cribbing about their problems, he decided to teach everyone a lesson, asked all of them to write their worries on a piece of paper & inter change with others, one by one he called them to read it out loud, listening to the problems they came to know that their respective problems were nothing compared to the others, they went back feeling blessed.
So if things fall apart look at the good things you have & if you’re at the edge God will either teach you how to fly or catch you just before you fall
