Tu kaha tha?

Just yesterday, I was listening to a wonderful composition by my dear friend Ashwin on Mumbai Terror Attacks, and I was very much moved. Yet again. The tune, Meghana's voice, and the video, all together swung me back to those horrific moments, those moments which shouted, " Are we so helpless ?"  

In such tragic times,  a pinching thought erupts within. God, the Almighty, the omnipotent and omniscient entity that he is; where is his prescence in all this ? If he is the creator, the care taker and manager of all the laws of the nature, then how does one justify this calamity where innocent people were caught unaware by death ? If we go with all faith in him, then this leads to the conclusion that nothing in this world is governed and all takes place randomly. If you happen to be among the disrupting random winds then its your bad fortune. But, then what role does Almighty play? 

A small verse which attempts to eject the feelings within me...


Masum Zindagi ko, 
Raundate chale gaye...
Khun se wo hamari, 
Hame bhingote chale gaye..
Ye dil poochta hai, ye dil sochta hai...
Jab lahu chalak raha tha,
Tab tu kaha tha?

Us Maa ke haathon se, 
Jab lalla choot raha tha..
Himmat Jab toot rahi thi, 
Par Sapna Gunj raha tha..
Jab bachpan wo bilakh raha tha,
Tab tu kaha tha?

Shayad dor zindagi ki,
Khuli padi hai Aaj..
Shayad keemat ik Jaan ki,
Giri hui hai Aaj...
Kehte firte the ham kabhi,
Ki tere karam se hum hai..
Lagta hai is bharose ki bhi,
Bali hui hai Aaj...



I never doubt your Existence, only that sometimes, I miss your prescence !

My friend, my dear..

I have always felt that true love doesn't demand a coaxing of warm words. For, someone whom you truly love, feelings should speak more than the words.
But, I have been blessed in having met a special friend who shared with me a thought that will always be the way i see 'love'..

Having said how I feel that in true love, Emotions long for words, and that if i would 'feel' for someone dear to me, for that someone special, I need not frame emotions in words for I may fail miserably..

" Dear, u say that as she's special, and ur love for her is true, u need not frame it in words.. but, just spare a moment and ask your heart, only because she's special to you, she deserves it.. ? "

and I was mumb !

Love you dear, may God bless you with the happiest times :)

Lab pe thirakte..
Labzon ne kaha tha..

This left me numb...


" Maut to yuhi badnaam hai,
Jaan to zindagi leti hai... "

An adorable Palindrome :)

MOM

Palindromes never got so interesting,
love neither so pure..
Care couldn't be more caring,
for I'm very sure..

The touch, so touching,
and words that would heal..
That smile so pleasant,
oh that tasty meal..

Hands that wiped tears,
hands that embraced me..
Hands that guided,
and hands that praised me..

As a kid u were my teacher,
and now my best friend..
Just the roles that have changed,
not the love that you lend..

When the winds are chilly,
your love keeps me warm..
and did you hear what my heart just said..
O I love you MOM !

O tell me God..

O tell me God,
upar se duniya kaisi hogi..?

Ansu bhari aankhein jhilmilati hongi,
Aasha bhari wo do, jagmati hongi..
meri do,
kaisi hongi??

O tell me god..

Bhaagti daudti zindagi,
aur thami si kahin..
angdai lete jaagte log,
aur soye kahin..
prant prant aur desh desh me,
raag raag aur dwesh dwesh me..
Lakiron se, bati dharti kahin...

par ye..
na dikhti hongi..

O tell me god,
upar se duniya kaisi hogi... ? :)
