Uss poudhe par phool aya hai....

Watch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAA74ND00dU “Yaad hai, ek din mere maiz pe baithe-baithe, cigarette ki dibiya par tumne, chhote se ek poudhe ka ek sketch banaya tha...!! Aakar dekho, us poudhe par phool aaya hai.” TRANSLATION -  Nowhere close to what Gulzar Sa'ab's own words and voice convey here, but  I've  tried to translate it -  “Do you remember one day while sitting at my desk, on a pack of cigarettes, a small shrub/plant you had sketched? Come and see.... a flower has bloomed on it!!!” ---- When I heard this in the writer's own voice, I felt like 'Life' itself was whispering this to me that a flower has bloomed, come and see it! And, I've been a little restless again since morning, eagerly... enthusiastically restless and searching.... for that flower!  I vaguely remember, I might've sketched a small shrub or a plant on a page of an old diary that i've lost, or a paper napkin while sitting at a co...

Now!!

And all I have is Now... Sparkling like a moon-beam, Shining like a sun's gleam, Fading like the flickering flame, Melting like a snow-flake, Passing like a day-dream, Merging with Eternity!!

Confessions of a Turbulent Mind -II

MicroPoetica...!!!

In your night Your Moon Your stars And your sky May I be a dreamer??? --- You say too much Too many words Yet clueless I am of what you say Its not your words That are wasted But my attention!! --- Words Like camouflage Hide what we feel! --- Dear Life! You're my muse And the songs I write About tears and joy, I leave them all for you to peruse! --- Awkward silences Pregnant pauses - Conversations ending with 'K'!  --- The grey clouds A water-colored hope A black cloud Hovering like Impending doom And tonight I forego seeing the stars Let it rain! #AwaitingRains --- Come June I start forming imaginary clouds Eventually, they start to form in the sky - My formula for rain!!  #AwaitingRains  #InAnticipation --- Your love ~  like bubble wrap ~  delivers me safe and sound ~  anywhere!! ---- The warmth of a thousand splendid Suns ~  and t...

You are......!!!

Sometimes I wonder What you are to me Are you the horizon star Twinkling from a-far!?!? You are someone who doesn't pretend, You are something i can't comprehend. The forbidden fruit I'm tempted to eat, The beginning of sin, chains around my feet, Yet u're the wind beneath my wings You rock my world;the tremor in my trembling knees!! You're the air that fills my lungs, And then i exhale and set you free!! Sometimes you're like sand slipping' out of my hand, Free you'll always be!! You're a mirage i can see but not touch, A hard habit to break, you're like addiction You are to me what sugar is to a diabetic; You're the reason behind my war with destiny!! Your spell cast on me Your fear haunts me The cut on my bleeding finger You are the bandage that heals me!!! The walls of my arteries layered with pain, You are the prayer; unanswered in vain! You're like a parasite I'm the stale loaf You'...
