Friendship

I was at Bandstand with a dear friend of mine and the time I spent with her just brought in a motley of thoughts in my mind about this beautiful relationship called "Friendship"..


"What is it that brings two people together on a journey called "Life"?
What is it that draws them to each other's souls?
There must be some connection or call it a "frequency match"!

What is it that binds us and intertwines our hearts together?
What is it that binds us for life? I think I know what its is!

We bond over the vague but our own dreams, over the life's greatest questions,
over the matters of men, matters of heart, matters of failed and blossoming relationships,
over the passing phases of changing relationships, over the intensity of our love ,our passion,our aspirations
and over the lessons we learnt in life, over the incidences that moulded us into "us"!


We bond over the same philosophies of life though we live it different ways..
We bond over the same lyrics or say the same two lines in the lyrics of a song!
We bond over the same vibes about the other person..
We bond over our mutual love for chocolate fantasy!

We bond over living life's moments, over the smallest of joys that bring us the biggest happiness,
over the tears that made us stronger and the smiles that made us blush
 over laughing off those seemingly important riots of the past,
over the gravity of the present and
over the dreams of tomorrow..

We bond over time..we bond over ETERNITY!

That what I call FRIENDSHIP."

This is dedicated to my few of my loving friends who have touched my life and my soul in a million special ways!

Woman

What is a woman made up of??
Flesh and bones!! But what is it that lies beneath these??
She is strength, intellect, beauty and a deep sea.
She carries with her the memories of the phase when she was on a high and the tears she shed when she met darkness with her broken dreams. She carries with her the shattered pieces of her confidence when she lost the game of her life and also the determination to gather her self to face the world again. She may weep, she may feel low but she possesses the power to rise. She trusts God and that when she joins the dots of her puzzled life,  she believes she will see a star. Her smile has the power to heal and her touch has a power to soothe. She is a daughter, a lover, a wife, a mother, a struggle, a dreamer, a doer, a prayer, a lyric, a tune. She is faith, she is power, she is love. She is passion, she is freedom and a smile.
She may rest when the sun shines too bright and she may run in the darkest night, but she knows she will reach the treasure that life is yet to present her.
She believes in the beauty of her dreams and in the heaviness of absurd realities.
She can meet both the angel and the devil with the same grace.
She is a woman.

Searching

I am home alone, its raining heavily outside, am listening to Kenny G music..I am online, fidgeting with things here and there. I feel I am searching something..looking for something - something very random and something very deep, two identities, a merger of these two or a feeling :

Good lyrics to sate my appetite for meaning in words in a way that they touch my soul, a good movie, a Guru, a spiritual mate, someone to listen to me, someone to dance with, someone to share an icecream with, someone whom I could wish a happy friendship's day and  meet up with over a coffee and not care about the world, someone who with whom I could drench in the rains, someone with whom I could share a hot cuppa tea and pakodas, someone to fill in the space in this moment, someone with whom I could be the actual "me", someone to laugh uncontrollably with, someone to play with, someone with whom I could live this moment, someone who would make me enjoy this season the most, someone who would just understand my need to gossip now, someone who'd buy me roses, someone with whom I could share my fantasies and live them too, someone with whom I could share a ride into the lush green hills and explore the nature,someone who'd be with me now and who'd make me go mad, someone with whom I could feel on the top of the world!

A best friend, a love, a life!

Local trains!

Today was my first day to college and one thing that comes as a bonus with my MTech course is also two hours of train journey on my way to college! I was well equipped with a novel and my mp3 player to ensure I am not bored while travelling! But..the fact is I just din't feel the need to use either of above things!! There are so many interesting people around and my travelling timw would give me enough time and space to explore my avocational subject of interest- psychology!

The first group of people I came across were a group of teachers! There is this certain "factor" about them that can make it so easy to spot a teacher! The way they talk, the way they behave..there is a instructive instinct in what they put forth, there is a kind of  aura that says "dude, U can't boss over me!",most older teachers are resistant to pleasant smiles except that they reserve few of theirs for their collegues with whom they share common hatred principles! So there I was, sitting and observing a group of 5 teachers, few of them kept joining in through different stations! Through my observation, I have classified people into a few categories (hopefully many more would be coming in my future posts!) listed as below:

1. people who observe every detail in u including places where your purse is torn and the angle at which your long earrings tilt!

2. people who keep complaining ( this teacher was complaining about every possible thing on this earth including monsoons, lack of good designs in purses, CHILDREN and their PARENTS with a usual dialogue" the parents just keep dancing on our heads, the education system, ICSE board, human nature... blah blah blah!)

3. people who are equipped all sorts of medicines (this lady had one for pain, fever, loose motions and vicks vapourub!!!)

4.people who are genuinely nice and willing to give their seats to older people, willing to hold others bags while they struggle to keep their feet firm admist the pushing crazy crowd!

5. people who are new and therefore silently observe and absorb the intricacies of the peer psychology!

Just when I was sitting next to them and listening to the conversations, the writer in me just registered all these things and I decided that all this stuff is getting onto my blogpost!

More later..as the train journey will go on and I' ll keep writing about it!

Romancing Nature

Hmmm....! I am completely feeling at peace with my self. A nice shower, saxophone music, an orange evening,  the beautiful view of the oldest trees from my window and the smoothly sailing breeze that blows my open wet hair lightly while I see the leaves waving to the same cool zephyr, all of this is making me feel one with nature. It brings a slight smile on my lips as I feel the calm and the serenity take over my mind and soul. A moment like this makes me feel so complete, so connected to the setting sun, so connected to my own self. My own self , that I thought, I had  almost lost admist the petty worries of the other world! I feel released from a bond and I can sense the flight of a caged bird into the open sky! The tunes of the saxophone seem to me like spring. I can feel the green spread inside my heart and the blooming yellow flowers add the bright shade to    the soothing stretch of grass. I can feel the blooming of my soul and the humming bees, the path traced by them and the love that exists between this pair and at last, the sweetness of this nectar has an eternal flavour that has been sprinkled on my restless mind. Oh Creator, bless my soul with the lasting eternity of this bright blossoming season! Romance doesn't necessarily have to be with another person, but it also exists in unity of one's self  with  the rythum of nature!

Writer's Block!

Writer's block gives me a tough time!
Cos there is too much in my head and heart
and the right words just seem lost in space
yet there is a compulsion to purge out a storm.

The mundane incidents consume me into their existence
leaving me lost in a deep search for true meaning
Why does happiness seem so out of reach
when you feel you don't even have a reason to fret?

My longing for the cozy rains is finally about to end
but there is something else other than the dry earth
that needs the droplets of a powerful rain
Can I please shout that its none other than my heart?

A poem is being composed without a pattern
and trying to express the incompleteness of this moment
Lovely weather and lonely me
Does God care enough to turn His feather?

Sometimes a touch of love turns the dusty edge
into shimmering shades of a golden haze
All seemingly completes my life and love
Yet why do I sometimes sense just the brown plain wood?

High I want to rise and far I want to fly
into the vastness of the deep blue sky
I have my wings but the ones beneath mine
Why can't I feel them even though I can see them???
