Tribute To Life 2008-03-05 13:17:00 Step by step life moved ahead
Sweeping me in its whirlwind
Whether I wished to keep pace
Or just wanted to be in a bend
Surprises of all sorts it gave me
Some sweet and some unpleasant
Knowing not what I want or not
Suffocating at times with no vent
Emotions flow at a dizzying pace
And at times just getting drained
Phases and transitions rolling on
Dry at times when it just rained
Even if it
The Choice Is Yours 2008-03-01 11:06:00 Full of passion
Crawling like a snake
Determined than ever
Deadlier than the seven sins
It slithers hither and thither
Flowing like acid in the veins
Enveloping one and encroaching their being
Thirsty for bloodshed and craving for unrest
Like a wild beast which knows no civilization
Growing stronger and powerful by the moment
In the hues of dawn as well as in the lap of night
Wanting more and Read more:Choice

She Is Here Again! 2008-02-28 13:25:00 Like love blooming in midst of all the hate
Like how a new born first opens its eyes;
Beautiful gift of nature with open arms
Full of tidings fresh and everything nice.
Making one and all glee in joyful delight
With every bud and blossom she grows;
Leaving heady fragrances in her wake
Lovely as the lines of time bound prose.
Waking up after a long spell of cold sleep
Spreading her spirit and Read more:Again
Reasons To Smile 2008-02-24 11:37:00 A smile, it is said, is a curve which can put things straight. Costing nothing and conveying so much, it is one of the best things in this world which are for free. Sweetest Lena tagged me to write about fifty-one reasons which make me smile. Here goes, in no particular order :
1. When a near and dear one smiles at me for no reason :)
2. When someone says that I have lost weight, even if I Read more:Reasons

Wedding Bells 2008-02-19 14:10:00 A first glance that lead to a wonderful saga of love
Which bound our souls together in blissful union
Time brewed and made it stronger every moment
Making tumultuous winds fade away into oblivion
The wait was very long and the days were testing
Still we hoped and prayed and waited and loved
And today we stand here at that point of our lives
To move on to being man and wife from beloved

Lighting up the winter sky
Then there were showers

Life Craves 2008-02-04 12:48:00 As I sat in the bus today, seeing two bubbly girls talkingI remembered those times chatting, laughing and joking
Smiling to myself, I wished the days would rewind backTo the golden days of carefree fun so cool and laidback
Where have those moments gone, will they come again?Priorities changed and I wonder if that is a boon or bane
What I desired for yesterday seems such a frivolous
Short Story - Soulmates Are Meant To Be Soulmates 2008-02-01 06:20:00 She was so excited. There was anticipation in the air. It was a special night, one like none another. She waited for him, pacing back and forth in her living room. Dressed in her finest evening gown and the simple diamonds set she loved, she looked utterly stunning. Every now and then she would check her appearance in the mirror. It was five to eight and he had promised to pick her up at eight Read more:Short
The Quirky Me 2008-01-29 12:19:00 I was scratching my head for ideas to write about a few days back and there came along not one but two muses, the first being the ever smiling Hope and the second, a most peculiar chick called Atyllah :)
As for five sites Hope wanted me to list down, they would be those related to something which I really love...

Enemy Within 2008-01-25 02:41:00 They say this world is crazy but never want to look into themselves
They want something to be done but do not even the smallest thing
Always pin picking others and preserving their own bones on shelves
Telling everyone to let go yet hiding every grudge under their wing
They change faster color than a chameleon and word than a jaguar
In the name of sorrow they spread hate wilder than any forest Read more:Enemy

Many A Mystery Within 2008-01-18 13:00:00 When the sun shines and still there is chillness in the heart
It is because I know something is just not right somewhere;
They tell me I am just being paranoid but I know I am not
It is uncanny how but most times there is base for the fear.
Yet there are some which simply cannot be accounted for
Such things in life go unexplained and taken as mysteries;
Cause they are just felt and not seen, Read more:Mystery
I Hate, Still I Love 2008-01-15 13:47:00 Here goes my first tag for the year, thanks to dear Noushy...
Love and Hate, two four-letter antonyms which go hand in hand. Both bring tears and pain, and both are so passionate. We are born to love and to love alone. Yet, sadly, as we grow up, hatred is inculcated in one form or the other, knowingly at times and otherwise. Love makes relationships and hence life, beautiful. Hate breaks them,
A Train Of Thought 2008-01-12 13:46:00 Just realized that I have been writing only poetry since this year started! Hmmm...what do I write about now? Love? Or relationships? Or about the biting cold here in Dubai? Nah! New ideas do keep popping up now and then, but at work I am too lazy to pen them down, typing is much easier! Well, here goes a train of thought...
There is so much to life, so much than we can ever imagine. We learn as Read more:Train

No title 2008-01-06 05:02:00 At times, why is it that...
the heart bleeds?
the soul cries?
even in day it is night?
nothing can make this moment better?
no one, just no one can make it fine?
there is this unbearable pain?
loneliness threatens to swallow me up?
even the most sure seems so unsure?
my sanity seems to make no sense?
the world seems so ridiculous?
the stream from the eyes flows like no end?
there is no way out?
Love Letters 2008-01-03 02:52:00 An enchanting saga
Beyond any feeling
Cannot describe it
Delving in the heart
Ecstasy it brings
Fantasies galore
God sent for mankind
Heart to heart
Igniting passion
Joy like none other
Knowing it exists
Longings so weary
Memories so sweet
Never ending bliss
Obstacles innumerable
Paving newer ways
Quenching the thirst
Racing over time
Sweet like chocolate
Tantalizing delight
Understanding needs Read more:Letters
A Ninth Thoughtful Thought 2008-01-01 05:18:00 Wrap up the bygones and put them aside,
Just let it go and flow along with the tide;
Set off on a new year full of hope & cheer,
Let a smile always take the place of a tear.

Sweet and generous Lisa gave me two awards in a Link Love Extreme today! Thanks so much dear :)

Tomorrow Is Another Day! 2007-12-30 22:18:00 It's New Year's Eve and here we all wait in anticipation of the start to a brand new saga of 365 days, in the hope that it will be a harbinger of better times to come, in every way possible. People make resolutions and they attempt to stick to them, initially with amazing sincerity and then slackening as the year rolls by and then again resolving the same, maybe a bit improvised, in the coming
Nobody Else 2007-12-25 12:41:00 Ever wondered where you headed for
What you doing and what you want to?
Ever thought what do you really need
And what is it you actually looking for?
Ever felt what it is to live another's life
Before just talking and commenting on?
Ever asked why things are as they are
Instead of blindly flowing with the flow?
Ever known what it is to be jilted in love
Of beloved or friend or just about Read more:Nobody

After A Torrent Of Pain 2007-12-19 12:28:00 It pours, washing me clean and masking my tears
This rain which continues like there will be no end;
The mist makes the gloom around me so ethereal
Making me forget it as I encounter another bend.
Where is peace of mind and my very own sanctum
Which I seek riding on this roller coaster called life;
Ups and downs and yet there is no destination near
These icy winds invoke fears which cut like a Read more:Torrent
One Saturday Evening... 2008-03-08 12:27:00 Standing at the windowsill, she waits for him to come pick her up for a special dinner on this special day, in warm anticipation of the love, gifts and adoration she knows she will be showered with…
Walking by a gleaming shop window, she covets a beautiful necklace set and sighs hoping that one day the one would gift her something like it on this day…

We Are Meant To Be 2008-03-14 15:00:00 You hurt me, I hurt you back intentionally aiming to harm
Then there were many tears and exchange of bad vibes
In and out of the heart and mind, we cried within, alone
Sleep seems the best friend in such tumultuous times
But that too betrays on and off, bringing back thoughts
Which keep haunting the mind and making things worse
The day after seems to drag by, each moment a torture

Random Musings 2008-03-21 14:25:00 Recently, I read the novel A Walk To Remember. The simplicity of the love story and the message it conveys is so moving. Miracles do happen, at times when least expected. When something is wished for from the innermost depths of the heart, God surely listens. We never realize how much we tend to move away from life in the day-to-day struggle to survive and make ends meet. Frustration and lack of Read more:Random

A New Beginning, A Vision Beyond 2008-04-11 08:43:00 Break free, free from the shackles of the past
Step into a new world which awaits inviting
So much which has been said and done then
Let go of them even if they seem so haunting
The warmth of his eyes, the touch of his hand
Make up for the pain inflicted by those fiends
Those truly caring souls who always stood by
Will stand till the end of days as real friends
Beyond this gate a beautiful Read more:New Beginning
Short Story : Road To Nowhere 2008-04-20 12:01:00 It was all over. There was nothing to live for, nothing to hope for anymore. She kept walking aimlessly on the hillside. The stars were shining so brightly but it seemed like doomsday to her. The full moon was menacing, laughing at her pain in all its glory. How cruel could nature get?, she thought.
One could not blame her state of mind. The earthquake had taken away all her family and friends. Read more:Short
