The First Day of The Rest of Our Lives: Today.

Today's the day I want to start

On a journey far away,

A long long way to go

To somewhere I want to stay.

A place where's it's easy

For dreams to change into reality

Ecstasy that will live on

As long as eternity.

I want to sing, I want to dance,

I want the world to know

That, here I'll find my soul, my heart,

And myself, tip to toe.

I want to take everyone I know

In this world of mine,

To live with me in that home of joy,

This place that's so fine.

But what's a better thing to do

than bring that home here;

And make my world beautiful one,

Where there's only love and no fear.

Today's the day I want to start,

To change the world to make it better

Without bombs and guns and boundaries

Where religion is no more than love.

    Ah.. That's too much to say. But, anyway, I'm glad you think it's good.

    though that kind of makes me feel good, it's really more than the credit that can be given. thanks anyway.

    A very well-written piece. Starting life afresh is something that everyone relates to and you have done a great job in expressing your opinion- from a very personal view to one that is at a more global level. I hope that all your future pieces will have a personal touch. I relate to every word that has been written, except for, maybe, the last two lines. And all this with Raag Gujri Todi playing, phenomenal stuff.

The Stepping Stones

They say, failure teaches us lessons- Lessons of endurance, lessons of not giving up, lessons of not worrying about it, and lessons of being happy. It teaches, but do we learn? You guessed it. I failed. And, for some reason this time, I’m kind of happy about it. I’m a CA student, by the way. I had written an exam a couple of months back, and got the news of failing it the second time a couple of days back. After working hard for oh-so-many days and going through all kinds of books, the result was failure. Anyway, I was attending/volunteering a students’ seminar when the results were released. At first, I was really shocked. Like, really really! I didn’t feel like talking to anybody, but I did want somebody to talk to me. However, just to inform all the ‘related parties’, I sent a text message saying ‘I flunked’. Different people gave different reactions. One thought (from my indifferent tone) that it didn’t really bother me, and said, “you anyway don’t seem like you’re...

The 62nd celebration of August, The Fifteenth..

India celebrates it 62nd year of Independence. Glorious 62 years.. So many events came and year after year the flag is hoisted and people go on and on about this whole ''Mera Bharat Mahaan" phrase. Yes, I agree my country is great but is it correct to keep saying it over and over again and not do anything about it? The ministers are not committed enough but none of us is ready to take charge and make a difference ('Dirty politics!!.. Why do you want to get into it and spoil your life/career?'). Politics will stay dirty as long as we let it be. Spiritual leaders get into scandals. weren't they the ones who went around talking about God? Where did the God go now? Not taking their side? People still fight over religion. History should be a lesson!! But, when did we learn our lessons well? The Jammu & Kashmir issue is still a pain. So, are we still talking about God?? Not working! We, now, have to think twice about going out in a busy road. What if there's ...

I know not..

I know not what life is, I know not death, I know not who I am, I don't remember a bit I live to see where my soul is, Die to see it go. I'm an ancient soul in this eye of God, And, I'm all alone. I look back at all my lives, And think, why? But I have to live, so I die. I try to recall all that happened, I see nothing..nobody..no relations. I want to know where I will go now, I want to go, I have no patience. I bid goodbye to all I had, all that life gave. I seep into the memories that'll never be.. and sink into my grave. Even now, I know not what life is, I know not death. I know not who I am, I don't remember a bit.
