Togetherness...


Me and you,
And this cold, cold night…
The playful glances,
Vague whispers poured into my ears…
And a carnival of memories…
Bathed in colours, light and shade…
Of little mischiefs, happy tears…
Piles of old, heaped letters…
Crumpled pages…brittle…almost…
Words etched out with love…
Wrought with passion…
Sweetened with jasmine petals…
And tonight, we set off to a faraway land…
Tell me stories of fairies and castles,
Princes and princesses and their love…
Underneath the silvery moonlight.
The stellar lamps are too faint…
Look deep into my eyes,
And illumine my tomorrows…

Amongst fairies and elves...


Violets  blossom on my palm...


Yet, thirsting for the elixir, I came to you...


With dreams nestling in my eyelids...


You laugh at me, blithely ignorant of the potion that intoxicates me...


I simper, and you wonder what insanity has gripped me...


How on earth will you understand...


My soul does not lie here on earth like yours...


It flies about, in the drunken air,


Amidst sylvan meadows and sun-kissed flower-beds.


You dwell in a black-and-white world,


While I bask in the cosy embrace of colours...


The song of all seasons resonates in me...


I chatter with  butterflies, bathe in the balmy morning-dew...


Yet, I seek my home in you...my life...


Let me drink the elixir of your love, and I shall live in you till eternity...

The Magic called LOVE


The evening sun smears vermillion on the twilit sky,
And I find you there...seeking sunshine in your face...
Just at the corner where nightly reveries greet me,
You shine like a lone star..
Sleep hovers heavily around my weary eyes,
And you permeate the sweet perfume that lingers on my bed...
The moments are moist, whom you sealed with a kiss...
I feel your words on my fingertips,
My toes twitch where you planted your tender touch...
You give me wings, and invite spring for me...
The little white butterfly in me you bring alive...
Know you not, I rejoice in every season with you?

Rango me ashiyaana dhundte hai hum,
Aapka aks talaashte hai...
Gehri-halki tasveere banti hai...
Unme kuch lamhon ki goonj...rango me duboya hua...
Hai rango se dilkash dosti meri,
Berang si ranjishein bhi nibhaate hai...
Mohabbat ka woh pehla sparsh,
Hai meethe rango me ghule huye...
Kabhi palko me simat jaate hai,
Kabhii yaadon se lipat jaate hai...
Aapki ungliyon ko chhukar jo mere rooh me utra hai,
Us rang ko main kya naam du...

It's so true that music brings us closer to ourselves, stripping off the mask of self-deceit...and coming so close to our own selves is often a not-so pleasant experience...it only familiarises us with the repressed thoughts and emotions...being sensitive is indeed a sin committed upon our souls...
Why do composers and lyricists create such melancholic melodies and poignant tracks that inevitably transport us to a different world, one that we have left far behind??

Galtiyon se juda wo bhi nahi, main bhi nahi...
Dono insaan hai, khuda wo bhi nahi, main bhi nahi...
Wo mujhe aur main use ilzaam dete hai magar,
Apne andar jhankte wo bhi nahi, main bhi nahi...
Galat fahmiyon ne kar di dono me paida dooriyan,
Varna fitrat ke bure wo bhi nahi, main bhi nahi...
Is ghumti zindagi me dono ka safar jaari raha,
Ek lamhe ko ruke wo bhi nahi, main bhi nahi...
Chahte dono bahut ek dusre ko hain magar,
Ye haqiqat hain ke maante wo bhi nahi, main bhi nahi.........

Aaj phir unki yaad aa gayi...

A love poem...

White shadows, glistening in the darkness...
In their silhouette, I see those days fleeting by...
When I sought my heaven in your smiling eyes...
Absorbing life from their lustrous
When our laughters mingled into the common joy of love...
That old tune, which we once danced to...
It all comes back to me, as if ‘twas just yesterday...
You scribbled something on my palm, and I coyly smiled...
Strands of my hair on your shoulder...
Just when you planted a kiss on the nape of my neck...
That kindled the warmth of passion in every vein of my body...
My blood glowed...my heart raced...you held my pink face in your hands...
I trembled a little, I knew not what it was...
Just gave myself to you, all that I had...wanting to belong to you forever...
My little heart leapt up in sprightly motion, to have a taste of the sapphire skies...
These feet of mine are now tied to the ground...

But it was then...
Your arms round my waist, I wished to be burnt down in the scarlet fire
That oozed out of your amorous sighs, and fell on my face...
You held my hands in yours, and pledged undying love for me...
The clandestine union was witness to the sweet vows we exchanged...
I glided along the insane promptings of the heart,
Savouring the reminisces of the violet evening that wove pure magic...
And today...
I cling to the broken images, ruins of the forgotten love story,
Looking for reflections of those sun-kissed days and moonlit nights of togetherness...
Amidst the ravages of dilapidated walls that smack of the old love...

The latest song I can't help humming, & it's a sad one at that :(

Ab naam mohabbat ke, ilzaam toh aaya hai...
Tum jo bhi sazaa de do, sar humne jhukaya hai...
Tumne hi hasi di thi, tumne hi rulaya hai...
Kya pyaar me socha tha, kya pyaar me paaya hai...

Hai kya ye jo tere mere darmiyan hai...
Andekhi ansuni koi dastaan...

2010 revisited...

2010...A potpourri of events..ravaging tempests and still silences...resonance of laughter and tear-stains on my pillow...some exits and entrances...and some people whose worth I realized all the more...some ties severed and some bonds strengthened all over again...witnessed a sea of change...

But ultimately amidst all the hullabaloo, I was able to shed my cocoon, and emerge as a self-possessed, poised and resolute individual, who could flaunt her 'uniqueness' with panache...Yes, 2010 has taught me to be myself and never regret it...to do things my own way and never be apologetic about it, abide by my own principles, make my own rules, take decisions for myself and stick to them...my conviction in God and destiny were reaffirmed...I explored newere and better possibilites in me...in short, today I am the princess of my own realm...& I'm reigning supreme!!

Even though 2010 saw my life going through many a topsy-turvy phases, I didn’t let my will-power “dwindle, peak or pine”…Rather, I braved all storms with the unshakable faith that all’s gonna be well…This year witnessed all my previous cogitations and calculations being crushed mortally, yet with renewed gusto, I gathered back the scattered pieces and rejoin them together in order to give it a better shape and structure, with a stronger foundation…

On a lighter note, 2010 gave me myriad beautiful moments in the form of some amazing movies (in fact, this year marked my official foray in the arena of Hollywood flicks, and I enjoyed the stuff that I watchedJ ), and fantastic music…(something that my heart always thirsts for…), some soul-searching sessions with people that gave me better insight into life, and provoked profound reveries within me…in addition, I discovered some awesome spots of Kolkata…(my city finally seems to befriend me J), and in turn, I’m compelled to fall in love with the her)…I made some fabulous additions to my wardrobe that made me feel gorgeous :P

To add to the list, I received some wonderful gifts this year from few very dear ones, which I shall treasure for a lifetime!! I relished some nice delicacies, clicked snaps to my heart’s content ;), pampered my crazy whims and fancies, thus satiating my instinctual delights!! I earned ample generous compliments this year for different things, and I revel in them :D Thus to sum up, as I switch on the rewind button, I reminisce every little thing that made me smile, and made 2010 special, cherished…

In short, 2010 has been all about reflections, recollections, resolutions, resurrection, rectifications, revelations, and indeed…much, much more. Thanks to all the people who supported me in this journey inwards, and stood by me in the expedition I undertook towards self-discovery…near or far, I’m sure they know who they are…

This year, I wanna indulge, and maybe even spoil myself a little more…scale even greater heights in ‘madness’ and all its quintessential antics, keep things real and genuine, smile ear to ear, surge further ahead in my quest for dream-fulfillment, and usher in more of TLC (Tender, Love & Care)!!!!
