Written for Months of the challenge – July
To let out the pain;
Ease the tension in brain;
Accept my weakness;
Retrieve the strength;’cause
Soon I must overcome it all.
June was the month when i was going through no-joys-all-sorrows phase of year 2010. And being the person i am, i admit i give into disappointments too easily although i do not let them rule my head for long. This post is a reminder of the fact that sorrows do not last, but when you get them as company, do not feel ashamed to be weak at times.

There was a time i did not live in NCR. And that time, only friend i had in delhi was him. So this tag !! He is one of the reason that september is special to me (other reason being my mother’s b’day).
Words do not define how i feel about him or what he means to me - All i know is that he is one of the few friends who like me the way i am , who will stand with me no matter what i do, who has always managed to not lose me in the crowd , who has fought with me so i do not forget him ever, who has listened my woes at 3 am, who did not hang up even when i called him “coz i did not want to be alone when i cried” !
This is for you my dear -
Just
you
define
so perfectly
how friendship should be
you must love,fight,forgive,love more
if you really desire
to keep close
some one
you
like.
Thank you for not just teaching me this lesson but also living it for me ! Hope i do not let you down any day !!
Wriiten for Months of the year challenge – September
This post is a way to express my unsaid feelings for few people. So i dedicate this to following special ones in my life :
One who made me laugh so much to make me forget a bad day,
One who made me cry so much that i was empty of pain;
One who listened to me so well that i felt all important
One who refused to acknowledge me,adding to my strength;
One who wiped my silent tear,gathering my battered soul
One who turned his back on me,it lead me to newer hopes.
One who loved, cared, loves and will always try to be so
Also to those who made me weak, remember i still love you all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 TO YOU ALL !

Do something
Do something you love
Do something you love to do;
Do something you love to do; do it !
Do something you love to do; do it, just for you.
Do something you love to do; do it,without expecting
Do something you love to do; without expecting others
Do something you love,without expecting others to be a part of.
Do something,without expecting others to be a part of that act.
Do something for yourself;And you got a manifesto for happiness.

It was rakshabandhan - Festival of brother and sister; but she had no brother. When she told this to him, he instantly asked her to tie the rakhi to him,even gave 1 re from his pocket money as gift.
Next year her own brother was born in August, but she still loved more her “first brother”.

When words failed to educate,
with silence did i try to object;
When tears failed to communicate,
with smiles did i try to fill the recess;
Only a night from old to new,
I severed all my ties with you.
When you failed to change your path
with a sigh did i give another try
When you failed to make it last,
with a broken heart i did cry.
Tainted freedom was what you gave
instead of dreams of a love filled place

did i ever tell
how good even chaos was
when you were with me
*
when you were with me
i invited chaos to my life
to keep you away
*
to keep you away
i acted mean and helpless
did i ever tell
*
did i ever tell
i treated love like a sin
when you were with me
*
when you were with me
i sinned in love and lust
to keep you away
*
to keep you away
happenned undesired
did i ever tell !

“Love is in the air”
you can feel it yourself
EVERY WHERE
more in feb,than any time
for all the sweet days
that fall in line -
start with a rose,
and a choclate then,
hug your love close
and kiss for the next,
All this comes,
before the fourteenth -
and how special that is,
do i need to tell you this ?
(The words in bold are the actual days celebrated in month of Feb.)

seed and spread the idea(s)
you get lots to read and write;
go on an adventure with friends
and that i saw in 3-D Narnia.
bid farewell to a friend you made
with memories treasured in the heart
to see my best gal being happy again
i could not have asked a better start.
But not all was to go as i wanted it
there were in store unthought things
some unexplainable events and people
made sure life not be termed as routine.
And there are bit of sad things too
like the laptop that doesnt work,
or the memory of some special
that comes and hit me on its own term.
Also there is the grand vacation plan,
that i have been waiting for so long
and anticipated joys, smiles and laughs
which i intend to bring back along.
I know not what next days would be like
or how i would be as the year ends
all i know is that i have lots of blessings
and i would be thankful for the ruling trends.
Good and bad, bad and worse, bad and better
thats all of what this year has been to me
and i end this with a heartfelt thanks
to the friends who joined me on this journey.

Of all the months in the year,
Celebrations are the most in october;
Three birthdays and an anniversary,
On other hand the hindu festivities,
Barely a week goes without joyous calls
Each one full of blessings for the smiles to be
Richer the joys,poorer my pocket,but never the fun.

This is my long pending dedication to dearest Jingle ! without her i would not be writing and reading so so much !! And a note of thank you for all the awards.
on days i act crabby
and lazy to even write it,
you always visit me
revive me like fairies do
wonder if you know..
Prompted at Sensational Haiku Wednesday .
Each summer vacations she would come
winters being her time to cater to aches -
feet, heart, joints and maybe the tired soul;
and so she came each may,loaded with love
and the candies, bitter sweet tales from village -
births, deaths, illness, festivals and gossips too.
but what i awaited was her knitting needles
oh what fun it was to see her spin her magic -
in any color i want ; even in more than one.
the first thing she made was the woollen shoes
one toe and four fingers fused into one space -
perfect to fit the heels when i run without sandal.
Each winter a new pair,its tales told next summer
each year a new foot size,and a new age for her -
And then i stopped wearing those shoes anymore.
not that i did not like them as much as a kid
not that i did not feel the cold trouble my toes -
but i just left it without another thought.
She can not travel each summer any more
and i do not go to meet her as regularly
but my granny still knits – for my kids maybe.

His enthusiasm was scary
but the smile so charming
His praises sounded dreamy
but the way he said was sweet.
He confused her with his ways
yet amazed her with his wit
He challenged her thoughts
without ever demanding it.
He opened the doors for her
to the world she longed to see
but had marked as forbidden
for reasons unknown to be.
He wasn’t the first or the best
of people she liked in her life
but he sure brought to her
the joys she has lost to time.
God send for you his angels
in forms and ways we know not,
but the blessings be felt as friends,
irrespective how you come across.

every time you left
i knew you would be back soon
the faith i had then
made me wait for you to return
until I let me free

Memories in heart
Dreams in the eyes
Wish i had known
Wish to know more
Demands to forget
Desires to remember
Hurt feelings
Curious emotions
One January i fought
Other i tried to love
was happy to let go
too scared to hold
another one approaches,
but this time,
no dreams no memories
i promise.

On stake
was Love,
Friendship,
joys shared,
tears wiped,
fights fought,
woven dreams,
plucked egos,
garnished desires,
scrubbed angers,
yet she had to
move on now,
for that’s what
they together
wrote in the book
of their life -
the first chapter
was of farewell,
last chapter awaits
if they survived the first.
