No love is lost?


When you stop loving
What happens to love?

Does it…
Get buried in the nooks of your heart-
Longing to emerge in time,
Become one with the clouds-
Waiting to drop down on you,
Ramble as dew drops on leaves-
Yearning for your touch,
Disappear in sentences-
Waiting to be read between the lines,
Bloom on walking trails-
Desiring to be plucked someday,
Sway with the flowing wind-
So, it can feel your hair again,
Dance with the pitter-patter of the rain-
So, it could quench your thirst,
Radiate through the morning sun-
To brush against your cheek,
Glow with the starry night-
To be one with the sparkle in your eyes

Does it keep longing
To see you one more time
Be it in your dreams

It is out there
Love is just lost
Waiting to be found

Let me be free...

Now that I can fly
Let me go really high
I have wings and
a Spirit unlike other beings

Let me see like no one else
And I can heal and bless
So many things to do
Some dreamy some true

So many places to be
Let me be free
My spirit soars high
Now that I can fly

Love and heartbreaks.....

When you love someone
So much....
A world without them seems like a void
A life without them seems futile

One day your poor little heart gets broken
Where does that love go?
Does it wander away, 
Into the deep dark loneliness that engulfs the world
Does it get buried,
Between the shattered pieces of your broken heart
Does it look for new people, 
places, 
reasons,
to live on.....
Or does it shy away from the big bad world,
Filled with fake smiles, and 
Short lived love stories

Whatever the heart choses to do
The wound heals and the scar remains
Love so pure and innocent, 
Shouldn't have to learn a lesson
But such are the ways of the world
Love will never be the same again
The heart will never love the same again...

Like the rising dawn...

Every breath i take
I breath in a little part of u
Then i start dissolving into u
Like a dewdrop on a thirsty leaf
Thirsty from a long summer's sun

There's desire in me
To quench the thirst in u......
With every breath i take
I want to breath in a part of you
A little more
And go deeper into u
Reach inside u
Where no one else has reached before

That moment would be bliss,
The moment, when i dissolve into you completely
Like a star in the new rising dawn
No traces of me, coz i have become u
That moment
I breath my last

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.....

Here's a movie that makes you laugh, makes you reflect on your relationships, lives, and makes you want to live life to the brim. Because even those of us who believe in "life after death" know that "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara....."

The power of Javed Akhtar's lyrics combined with the depth of Farhan's voice make sure you not only listen to the words, but also feel them!

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai
Yeh jo gehre sannate hain
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai...

Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin
Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti
Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi
Kuch lafz hain woh maangti
Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh
Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh
Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai
Ahsas hi ahsas hai
Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti
Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai
Jiska pata tumko bhi hai
Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai
Duniya se bhi chupta nahin
Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai...

Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama,
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyan,
Na kahin hai zameen
Na kahin aasmaan,
Sarsaraati hui tehniyaan pattiyaan,
Keh raheen hai bas ek tum ho yahan,
Bas main hoon,
Meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein,
Aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan,
Aur main...Sirf main.
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya.

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Nazar mein khwabon ki
Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise
Aazad rehno sikho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise
Lehron mein behna sikho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo
Khole apni bhaayein
Har ek pal ek naya samha
Dekhen yeh nigahaein
Jo apni aankhon mein
Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Whatever happens, or doesn't happen.. don't forget to live your life you all....

An ode to Hachiko...

I hear him coming,
in the rusty rumble of the train
I hear him calling,
in the rugged voice of the rain
I care not for time
snow, rain or shine
There wasn't even a sublte sign

Time and again, they talk to me
A traveler here, a traveler there
A familiar face, sometimes somewhere

I don't mind the chitter chatter.
The movement of lips fade by
As I continue to do today,
what I did till yesterday
And I continue to do tomorrow
What I do today

I am being clicked and photographed
Solo and with a known face
I am the hero of the town
To most of them, this is just a phase

I left my home
Abandoned my family
I care for nothing
He is my only reality
My home and family

I am told that 9 years have gone by
To me time doesn't seem to fly
Time must have stopped 9 years ago
When I was waiting for him to show

I wait for him to call my name
I wait for him to show me a sign
It's only fair, as he waited too
For the day, when I would fetch too

9 years later, I sit here again
On the familiar step, that felt no pain
Time has aged me, but not my soul
I hang on to hope, my only console

My weary eyes drop into my sunken eyepits
I see his smiling face calling my name
I hear him coming,
in the rusty rumble of the train



--------------------------------------------------------

This is my tribute to Hachiko, for his undying faith, love and devotion to his master and friend, Hidesaburō Ueno. To him time did not matter, nor did anything else, except the hope of seeing his master again. A bronze statue of Hachiko stills stands at Tokyo's Shibuya station where he waited for 9years hoping for his master to return (Look for Hachiko statue on Google)
This is my tribute to all dogs and all dog lovers! Dog is the most floyal of companions.

Watch the movie- Hachi, a dog's tale (Richard Gere, Joan Allen and Hachi)
Read his story- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D>

Hollow are the earth and sky and God....

Empty cries from empty souls
No one to listen no one to hold
God is but a perception of the mind
Irrespective of events which unfold
Quest for the truth is uneventful
These days for pennies it is sold
Nothing matters no more
For, named names
Are the pure hearted and the bold
