Concrete Jungle



Everywhere my eyes go, I see a jungle of Concrete.
Even the moon above has lost its shine and
have become discreet.
A little birdie wonders where to go?
As its green tree has been burnt down.
Chirpy rhymes have died down in the shouts
of honks and nasty bulldozers.
I don't like here, I don't wanna go near..
This is not my world anymore,
all barren without the rain on the shore.
I have erected my mast and my ships are about to sail.
I bid adieu to this land of noise,
Sailing in the oceans of peace and serenity.

    A tree right next to our apartment was full chirping sparrows.. and one day I saw it wasn't there.. I felt so bad...

    Wish we could actually sail across this..

Love Me For the Sake of Love

Love me for the sake of love, Not for the nomenclature I have... its given to me by someone else. Neither love me because of the smile I flash, when you come near... Nor due to the care I take of you my dear.. As Me thou is something different inside... It smiles at the first ray of light, It en-lights with the first rain drop.. "Me" is a cocoon shell thriving to turn a butterfly.. Your love will open my shell, Make me spread wings in the world..Be my sky Love me for what I am, for what I stand.. Love me not for reasons, love me all seasons... Love me for the sake of love...

Sparkle Sunshine All Along

"Already there is so much written and said already about life that makes everything you come across appear to be old and boring." Recently, I heard this line from somebody and it triggered strings of my inner conscience. Is it really true?? Can life or life talks be boring to anyone??.   For me its always been a precious gift that I have cherished always, let it be dark days or sunshine. Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or  dusk. - William Arthur Ward We all are here, in the same world where giving up is not at all an option.  So if you are gonna breath free till your last day, why not to inhale and exhale happiness, joy, innovation, smiles, care and love??. When you see your near and dear one giving up on life it pinches a lot and makes you feel helpless. I have felt that pang many a times.But that's how it is. I feel like shaking them and waking them up. Wish to say them "Don't fake love and life, becaus...

A Walk in Rain

Its all monsoonal outside my window and raining!!!!! I can hear the thunder and also the rain drops falling on the asphalt : ) I am myself drenched as I had a long walk in rain today and so refreshed that I am smiling to myself alone in the house. It was a really natural experience soothing the heart. When I started walking from my office it was just little drizzle n just after five minutes it started raining cats n dogs :p Though I had an Umbrella withing moments I was wet, saving my handbag from rain I got shelter below a huge tree. I had put on my earphones and was listening to music at the same time which was playing awesome songs like " tu hi mera from Jannat 2, Ghode jaise chaal hathi jaisi dum , Dhunki Dhunki lage , Bahoon ke darmiyaan etc. ..." to name a few which lit up my mood full on Yo Yo Yo .... I was not alone under the tree. 2 cows, one Dog, three human beings and two auto wallas were giving me a company. :P I was observing th...
