An Essence called Life

It laid there still
With its feet facing the sky...
Not moving an inch...
And could no longer fly...

It was the small butterfly...
Carrying rainbow on its wings...
Fluttering from flower to flower...
And doing all possible things...

It starts its life...
From being a worm....(caterpillar)
Wanting to escape the cucoon...
Waiting for its turn...

Into the beauties of nature...
It flies up high...
From over tress and bushes...
All flowers passing by...

It shows us beauty...
It shows us grace...
It brings a broad smile...
on everyones face...

Living its life...
The way it wants...
With not too many...
Of do's and dont's...

those beautiful things...
Are an attraction for many...
Trying to end its glee..
Is so uncanny...

Let it fly...
Let it flutter...
Lets not bring...
Its hapiness to shutter...

Learning a lot...
From this beauty of god...
Live life to its fullest...
And dont be a clod...

Just one day of shelf life...
Is all its got...
More days of hapiness...
Cannot be bought...

God has sent us...
With some mere days in hand...
So lets live this essence called life...
As much as we can!!

This Ones For U...MOM

I looked at her...
As she watched me play...
Those beautiful wattery eyes..
Sure had something to say...

She smiled softly...
And waved out at me...
And i was back into the sandbox...
Gathering all the glee...

She took me back home...
Handling me with care...
Afterall i was her presious diamond..
For her,which was very rare...

So many names..
That i had for her...
From mommy,momuchka to mum...
All blended with love for sure...

No matter what i called out...
She always answered with a 'yes'...
And she too loved those names...
ummm...thats wat i guess...

She would cook all day long...
To make my favorite dishes...
My one and only genie...
Granting me delicious wishes...

From being a terrific mom...
To yet another friend...
I often thank god for this...
With good notes to him i send...

She's the head of our family...
Playing a very important role...
And to have her as my mother...
I'm one lucky soul...

Her whips and all those whacks...
Had surely done the magic...
Without those i admit...
My life would've been tragic...

I still remember those nights...
When she would tuck me in my bed...
And those wonderful bedtime stories...
Would end with a kiss on my forehead..

She's seen me grow...
From a baby to a dame...
And for all these years...
I still feel the same...

I wished i could stay small...
Throughout my whole life...
For all the luv i've got from her...
Has always been rife...

For once in every year...
We celebrate her day...
But do you really feel its enuf...
To express what we have to say...?

Giving her love and happiness..
Thats too less of a repay...
for without a second thought...
I feel everyday is mothers day!!

You Must Know How I Feel.... Read On....

AN AuToBioGraPhy Of a LOst CeLL............

I looked at her while she walked into the shop.
i was praying that she'd look at me...she moved her eyes over each one of us and her sight had passed by me...n then she stopped...to look back!..'phew'..a sigh of relief i had to give(as i was holding my breath all that while)..
she made a few enquiries abt me to the shop owner...ummmm...im not sure whether she was convinced enough but she wanted to see me...in and out..after a few flips and flaps i had got,she had a contented smile.
she jus looked at her dad and nodded.that small little hint and i had guessed she was gonna buy me.I was thrilled,overjoyed..u name a sense of excitement n i had it in me!i was put back into my box and given to her!..i sure was a little expensive but wat the heck!..i was worth it..she took me home all excited herself...and i cud feel the eagerness she had, to show me to her family n frends!she got me home and as tradition follows did the needful.And ofcourse,i was at her service rt from that moment.And those days began..normal routined life she had.She would wake up in the morning,check me,as i would be right next to her pillow,and then get dressed for office.i was her all time entertainment.listening to songs,clicking pics,all would be my job.n i was so sure that she loved me!there was a minimum count of 20 pics per day.and i loved it when she would flaunt me!!i was her only best friend...had to be..cuz she had kept most of her secrets locked inside of me..her talks were never ending i must say..she got calls right from the time she woke up til the time she hit the sack!and her messages were mindblowing...i would fall short of space!thus the days went by.I was a cynosure!!She would admire me evry now n then,not that i would say she kept me neat n dirt free..ive even been banged into a lotta things...ouch ..that hurt!the phrase 'a friend in need is a friend indeed' would best suit me..ive been with her throug her rough times.her laughter still rings in my ears,and her tears still give my buttons the wet feel...i must have heard numerous conversations,but the best ones were those she would have with her close ones.some of them were in my 'save' custody!She was really clumsy about me though!...she would jus keep me some place n forget!..but then she would be equally tensed n frantically try n search for me!...Along with her,even her dad was fond of me..n kept warning her about this clumsiness!..one thing i would really feel jealous about was when she would praise some other collegues of mine n say 'thats gonna be my next cell'..i dont want a replacement ever..even if i grow old i would love to be at her service..so to sum it up ,i was a part of her...not a single day she would go newhere without me!how i wish i cud go on with these wonderful frolic memories..til that day wen somebody had prayed soo hard to b it his lucky day!!it was friday morning,and as usual,she was all set n dressed to go to office!i cud tell something was going on in her mind cuz she seemed pretty disturbed..fr the frst time in those 5 months,she hadnt put on her plugs!..so i was all bored sitting in her bag that day...the journey seemed longer than ever...highly samey!for that first time since she had me,she wasnt listening to music!... she just kept staring outside the bus window,keeping her thoughts busy with something else..til she reached her distination...And suddenly there was a jerk! ... i came back to my senses ,and what do i know... i was in someone else's hands!I tried my level best to mime and get her attention, but it was too late... she had already got off the bus ... without having the slightest clue of what had happened! n soon she was out of sight!....wat a day! i dint even bother to look at that bod who was holding me .. n cheering his way out to have been succesful in his game!it was precisely 10 mins when there was a ring.... and it was her!... she sounded really worried and i could make out she had shed out her precious gems.. i couldnt see her in that state... and neither could i see myself.. she pleaded to get me back but was in vain.. sigh... i had to absorb that i was soon gonna have a new owner..i was feeling nostalgic..i was having this intrinsic feeling tht she would find me... wishing that atleast the police could track us down..but then again... if wishes were horses,beggers would ride em!And then there i was... back into my stage where i got a few flips and flaps and had again seen a contented smile... but this time the thrill and the over excitement was in someone else's arms...Evryones gets their share of hapiness... i did too...All good things must come to an end....so y complain!!

I MISS MY SCHOOL....

i close my eyes...
in those gloomy days..
and as the thoughts keep rambling...
in many ways...

i stop to think..
of those days in my past...
and jus happen to realise...
that time flies so fast...!

From being a baby..
to a grown up teen..
the various phases of life..
i have many seen...

i hell miss my school...
and all of my friends...
those were the days...
which i thought wud never end...!

In those heavinly times...
we lived the life we choose
for evry now and then...
we thought we would never loose...

from being 3 musketeers...
with the complete 'boys' gang..
we've enjoyed every moment..
and that too with a bang!!

our teachers often frowned
for not a single head in the book
with everything else apart...
we'd even learnt how to cook!!

From a total of i think 60..
with a count of 16 beauties..
every lad that i remember...
had totally forgotten his duties!

now that we r all up and old..
to begin our trails of life per say...
for we still remain young...
and are sure to have our way!!

My Life - Part 1(My New Home)
i entered the gate..
and glared around..
Looking here and there...
With a deep silent sound...

i tried to figure out...
Where exactly i was...
Taking every little step...
With a very big pause...

I held my dad's hand..
As tight as i could...
And walked up towards my new home..
For every reason i should..

I enterd my hall,
Which looked so open wide...
I was much more comfortable now...
and had long left my dad's side...

Me and ady were the happiest of all...
to have our very own room...
and that sure was...
smaller than the hall...

This was my new home...
I kept on thinking...
and i have to live here now...
And that got me sulking...

I looked at my mom...
With a questioned eye...
Will i make new frends here?...
Who wouldn't make me cry...

My mom hugged me warmly...
And took me close to her...
'Yes Dear' she said...
And thats all i had to hear...

My very first day..
In my very own house...
And i decided to myslef...
I would never be a louse...

I cleaned my room...
And put my stuff in proper place...
It was my room after all...
Just in case.... :)

I was all set now...
To start my life from here...
And life just has to move on...
Without a bit of fear!!.... ;)

FOR ALL MY FRIENDS.....

The times have changed...
Seasons come and go...
Are we gonna be friends forever?...
We never know...

We promise each other...
To be the best of friends...
But as life moves on...
We never know how it ends...

Our life path changes..
We meet new people..
And then one day we realise...
Theres one person so special...

'That special person'
Is the only one on your mind...
And the rest of your friends...
Are of the same kind...

The promises you had made...
Come to an end...
The rules of friendship...
Are about to bend...

So dear friend...
Dont break these rules...
Those who have tried to...
Have all been fools...

Lets be friends...
Come wat may...
This is yet another promise...
From Your friend who has to say..


"happy friendships day"..

Let life bring you luck,fame and happiness..
All Your way!!

GAMPU TIME..................

Festive season!!

...Dnt scratch your heads with the word 'gampu'...its got nothin to do with something like forest gump or nething...Its a funky name i have chosen for my fav god!...n thats lord ganpati...well,its his festival which is currently going on so a lil tribute to him...One of my favorite festivals is ganesh utsav..as the traditional name would suggest...ofcourse A coz its a festival celebrated for my fav god n B cuz a lotta exciting things take place!
It was saturday night,& as far as i remember it was 12:00 midnight when me n my dad were all geared up for the decorations.
My dad had just come home with the decor material and had handed it over to me...
i was a lil brain washed abt this whole decoration thing n was trying hard to convince my dad to jus quit the whole idea!...but then whom was i trying to fool...my dad's a major enthusiast...n an amazing artist...so he wasnt gonna budge thats wat i had realised..and ofcourse i was dragged into it...
so wat the heck!..we started..all sizes of brushes,colors,palletes,..i was surrounded by all sort of drawing material...and there i was painting away!..and viola!!...it was all done n ready!!...(the 'viola' should be multiplied with 3 hours of hard work!!)i was soo damn sleepy,wasnt even able to keep my eyes open to see my hand made masterpiece!!..
i managed to open a slit from those garfield eyes to realise that it was 3 a.m!'you must wake up by 7:00 am'..were those torturing words that punched my ears before i was gonna hit the sack...that was my mom reminding me that i was to wake up early the next day...or rather the same day!!
i just closed my eyes,and it seemed it was just for one minute and it was 7:00 in the morning!...
I was all excited ofcourse but my bed wouldnt let go off me!!...finally after a lottaf twists n turns i woke up all set for the pooja.This time around we werent gonna buy a mud idol..it was this gold plated one..which just had to come outaf our showcase...so not much of hollering whilst we get the idol home!...
i n my dad were contented enuf about the decoration part...ofcourse we have made awesome ones in our earlier years!...So finally 'gampu' was on his seat..all set!
The brilliant decorations(thank you very much!!)...the small rice lights sparkling around..sure did make it look real neat!...It was a sunday so all was done perfectly!...the day1 puja's n stuff were carried out well...A monday!..
i really hate mondays...i woke up early as always n off i was to mah office!!
my 2 adorable nephews were enjoying evry bit of the whole festival...n i was really envying em!!evry day it would be aarti time at 9:30..with not many but around 6 ppl in my family...on friday we celebrate the day for gouri(do not ask me any more details abt this)...
n this time it was my moms enthusiasm that was shining!...i had taken an off from work...to do something really constructive!...make modaks!thats 1 part of food i love to make n above all love to hog on!
...so there i was putting my skills in those tiny hands n shaping those round dough balls into modaks!...yummmmmmm...making modaks sure is a tough job..!! :)the very same evening was the most awaited 1!!...
on this day we invite most of the ppl for darshan...n that was it...i guess a minimum of 50 ppl came over...my feet had arrested me n were giving me a third degree torture!!
...i cud barely walk...n to add to all tht i had a 2 yr old munna bhai and a 11 mnth priest to take care of!!(thats the fancy dress competition that my nephews were a part of)and that day ended...i dont think i remember anything after 10:00 p.m cuz i was snoring away!
Back to saturday...a whole week had passed by... time for ganpati visarjan!...this is one day i really dislike..i mean who would like to let go off of something that has been so much of fun??but then all good things have to end... n so did this!...the only difference would be was tht the idol goes back into the showcase!..7 whole days and my fav god showered us with all his blessings and promises to do so forever...thats the reason we want him early next year..hence the saying.."ganpati bappa morya...pudhchya warshi luvkar ya!!"...
