Me

It pains me today
to even think of you.
I wonder if i am the same,
Or maybe you have changed.

I still cant believe it,
And i am sure you feel the same.
But truth remains,
something in us has changed.

It pains me even more,
to know what we were.
And we were so sure,
of our beautiful relationship together.

Life it seems,
is so cruel at times.
And now i understand,
Life never gives a second chance.

Life has given me everything,
And i can't complain.
It was me,
Who just couldn't remain me...

Open Invitation

Hi,

It gives me great pleasure to let you know that i am getting married. I know it must a bit of surprise and shock for you. In fact it is for me also. But as i always say "You never know" , you really never know what can happen. And with Animesh, you never can be sure. After a lot of pondering, lot of soul searching and lot of girl searching( Its difficult to find a girl), I have decided to get married with the girl of my dreams.

She is very matured, understanding and is ready to share my happiness and sorrows (Just like me!). she has promised to stand by me in all the good and bad times. She knows about me and my tantrums and is ready to accept them. She really cares for me a lot and loves me lot for what i am. I couldn't have asked for more. Its like a dream come true. I have been in seventh heaven since then. And don't feel like coming down.

I found this as a pretty novel way of letting you know, although i would have loved to see the surprise/shock/elation on your face. That we can discuss later.

I am sure you would like to share my happiness and be a part of the celebration. You have always been special to me and I want you to be a part of my once in a lifetime (yeah,I am going to get married only once) experience. So please help me find a suitable girl who would satisfy the above mentioned criteria. Please look around you, the right girl for me might just be round the corner. Next time you see a candidate girl, do think about me. Happy Searching.... :-)

The Last Wish

She flashed in front of his eyes. Clear. As usual.
He had always prayed to God, to give him a moment.
To see his beloved.
This was it. God had been kind, as always.
He would have to wait another lifetime.
He had read it in story books. And he had laughed.
He laughed again...

Down and Out

I feel weak today.
Each passing day isn't helping. I feel hollow.
I have tried to put up a brave face. But its slowly coming off.
Don't have the energy to do anything, don't have the motivation to win,
Don't have the determination to excel, don't have the strength to face the truth.
Life's in a disarray and I am too tired to pick it up.
Solutions i have, but am too lost in something else.
I proclaim today, I am down and out.
And i have no plans to rise.

It's time to fly........... India Poised Anthem

There are two Indias in this country

One India is straining at the leash, eager to spring forth and
live up to all the adjectives that the world has been showering recently upon us.
The other India is the leash.

One India says, give me a chance and I’ll prove myself.
The other India says,
prove yourself and maybe then you’ll have a chance.

One India lives in the optimism of our hearts.
The other India lurks in the skepticism of your minds

One India wants. The other India hopes.
One India leads. The other India follows.

But conversions are on the rise.
With each passing day more and more people from the other
India have been coming over to this side.
And quietly, while the world is not looking, a pulsating, dynamic,new
India is emerging.

An India whose faith in success is far greater than its fear in failure.

An India that no longer boycotts foreign-made goods but buys out the
companies that make them instead.

History, they say, is a bad motorist. It rarely ever signals its intentions
when it is making a turn.
This is that rarely-ever moment. History is turning a page.

For more than half a century, our nation has sprung, stumbled, run,
fallen, rolled over, got up, dusted herself and cantered, sometimes lurched on.

But today, as we begin out 60th year as a free nation, the ride has brought
us to the edge of time’s great precipice.

And one India- a tiny little voice at the back of the head- is looking down
at the bottom of the ravine and hesitating.

The other India is looking up at the sky and saying,
It’s time to fly.

Happy

I am Happy today.
Not for you, not for me.
Not for anybody else.
I am happy, Just like that.

I tried to be happy for self,
I tried to be happy for you,
I tried to find happiness in somebody else,
I tried and i found.

But alas, it didn't last long.
Maybe i couldn't sustain it.
Maybe i couldn't nurture it.
Maybe i couldn't spread it.

I would have been happy to know somebody cares for me,
I would have been happy to know somebody respects me,
I would have been happy to know somebody loves me,
I would have been happy to know somebody loves to see me happy.

Today i am happy,
thinking & hoping,
somebody does exist....
