Embrace
July 27th, 2010
I wish to plunge into the tranquil oceans of your embrace,
It’s so profoundly pacifying that I wish I never surface.
As the soothing waters of the clasp of your arms wash away my worries,
The mellow moments set in, time slows down, and there are no hurries.
Closing my eyes, I sink to the bottom; unlike the outside, it’s a peaceful place,
I feel your love and affection pierce through the waters like warm sunrays.
And just as sun rays nourish life on this earth, your embrace… it nourishes my soul,
And so, to give you a hug, I’d gladly travel from pole to pole.
Thanks to Nibhay Joshi for pointing out some grammatical errors.

The Road Ahead
July 19th, 2010
It’s been long since you traded your passion for glory,
Even you are tired of your own story.
Your stories’ve lost sheen - they’ve all been told,
Dust’s settled on your laurels - they’ve all become old.
Without a raison d’etre you’ll always be at strife,
In your struggle, elusive will remain the meaning of life.
You will sorely miss the awe and beauty of creation,
The mastery of an art… the pleasure of appreciation.
Get up, get going, let the creative juices flow,
Apply yourself, be sure to be consumed while doing so.
The infinite power of your mind and body you must embrace,
Else you will remain marking time at your own place.
Evolution is the path to satisfaction and happiness.
Constant change is the only secret of success.
Indian - Let that be your religion
January 29th, 2010
Made this long ago… was waiting for the right opportunity to post it.
Indian - Let that be your religion.
Also, my friend Mayank Raheja asked me a long time ago to post a poem that he wrote. I think now is the right time for that too -
Come my India, come fly with me
as the economy rises and the uneasiness of the limitations goes away
i sit in the middle of the crowd
with my head held up high
within the constant chattering of hopeful souls
people just like you and me
with cryptic lives and curious minds
who analyse and interpret what the future has to offer
this new India of my dreams
where man meets the machine
i can see you rising above the clouds
of every sector man has found
so come my India come fly with me
towards my dream and my beautiful dream
Come my India, come fly with me
In agriculture we will see
man growing the very seeds
this will give us the India of tomorrow
a country without misery and sorrow
As for the Industries we will see
man and machine battling to see
who in the end will come out on top
to witness the fall of merry top
For finance and banking we can predict
the rations and income fit for a king
where every man of this country can see
a future of their very dreams
At last the pillar of society is
its service sector the mighty chit
where growth will happen for all to see
and better than the world could ever dream
so come my India come fly with me
towards my dream and my beautiful dream
Come my India, come fly with me

My first attempts at writing poems
October 3rd, 2009
One of my first poems that sounded better than the rest of the poems written then… written a LONG LONG LONG time ago.
Note: Poochtach karna varjit hai.
I think of you,
And all those things,
That you made me do.
You turned my life around,
You made it upside down,
When I blinked my eyes,
It had all vanished and gone.
In the moonlit glory,
Of the clear night skies,
Is not just another story.
After asking myself,
Is it worth the pain,
Will all my efforts,
Just go in vain?
Then I searched for answers,
In the corners of my mind,
And all my heart said,
I wish you were mine.
And I hope that one day,
You will feel the same,
And I hope that someday,
We will be together again.
But suddenly everything clears up,
And the truth I see,
Is that love between you and me,
Can never be.
This made my heart hurt,
This made it ache,
And other things you did to me,
They made my life shake.
I don’t care for what I said,
I know you are right,
Just that I can’t stop thinking of you,
When I go to bed tonight.
