Day 22. The Song of Lost Love.

When the love lived in the lanes across

There was a window where the sun shone with all its gloss

I watched it rise and saw its fall

In the land of windmills where the winds ragingly blew

On the softest lips his warmth grew

Her hairs fell long on his shoulders so strong

And the rainbows danced in their love song

The heavens sang with all might and bloom

She was women so worthy and he, the most desirable groom

Love was not all, each other they breathed

There was a fire within. It led and it sheathed

Their love was free. Full of smiles and no tears

The times were all good without any fear

Their flight was high,

Sometimes it made her sigh

But the ecstasy was maddening and far coming was a low tide

Don’t go so far, she only tried

There were days and there were nights

He went alone in the search of brighter lights

They shined in a different world

And to a weaker tier they furled

Fascinated he went, to the fate he never knew

And  the night fury engulfed, near as he drew

He looked at the shore but the darkness echoed back

Delirious in the moment he shunned her and wished a new life

Could not live with her but couldn’t even give her up

Entranced by the night fury he only burned up

She waited, she cried

The voices unheard always died

The emptiness within she wanted to fill

But the void made her numb and pushed down to kill

In that moment she rose to forget but not forgive

Made way to her pinnacle destined and reason to live

There were deeper truths unraveled

For the happiness sought outside was found within unparalleled

She rose like a star which lighted the world around

He called it vicious and in that hatred he drowned 

What a love it was that got lost

She found herself at his cost

Day 15. I Too Have a Song Deep Within

Up there on the western hills

Where the snow still sits clean

There are birds who don’t fly

But there are flowers evergreen

Wind blows from the hills yellowed

And brings down the memories pristine

Of the times when even the bars echoed

And I too had a song deep within

It seems I have forgotten the rhythm

Of the songs so sweet

And now there are symphonies unknown

And the songs of freedom offbeat

Each moment of the day when I feel my destiny

I dream of you to pull me through

But you decide to leave me with my feet clipped

And climb to the lips of the nightingale so blue

I look down and then around

O my caged self, the war must now begin

For there is a whole new world here right now

And you too have a song deep within

Do not think of yet another breeze to take you away

For it might also hang on another sill

Hear it from the hill so far

But trust the sounds within

Lift up your arms and feel the rage

Which has the power to break each cage

Fly high before the snow is still sitting clean

And bath in the glory of the yellow sheen

Day 11. The Road Less Travelled.

The Road Less Travelled

On the road less travelled when the journey began

Quaint whispers became my light when I saw no man

My feet ached and felt heavy even with the broken chains

Pulled me back to which appeared the safe haven

But I moved ahead to the world of my dreams

Which bore no look, had no rainbow, no streams

In the world of darkness holding tight onto my desires

I walked the road less travelled till the fire

It was where the world ceased to exist

The clocks didn’t click and lifted were the mists

In there was everything which brought me home

Yes, it was my hearth. I had seen it and was not unknown

The walls were tall, not bright but charred

The drapes not fine but torn

There was a chair not royal for a throne

And the room looked forlorn

In that moment when I was forgotten

I commanded those who belittled me often

To make peace with my wrath and bury the fury

To clear the entangling webs which made me quarry

I chose to dig them deep

Who swindled me and made me weep

There were new skies beyond the window

And new buds waiting to be kissed

With the warmth of a new life

Born out of peace and not anger

I held all that was mine

Overwhelmed with winning over the bygone I shine

Where my hearts searches new roots

To grow a new love free from hurt, aloof of pain

Day 10. Between You and Me

Between You and Me

Enrapt in the noises around

Do you hear the sounds within?

Peace eludes your gray smile

But yet you drink from the glitter and gleam

Should you ask where my happiness lies

To me my heart tells no way

To be in love or stay away

To be in love and stay possessed is all it knows

A deep longing stays within you and me

For we have to still realise our dreams

Between our hearts there are mountains which know no bounds

Our skies are different and the wind knows no way through

Perhaps there will be a time when we will be part of dust again

Then we will start a new journey

To cross each other one more time

It will be but with a thousand deaths to live

Until then my friend lets travel these roads a few more times …

I am Loving and Lovable too

O great creator
In thy name I write
To be healed and to emerge
To forget and to know myself
To know and to be led
I surrender all of me
To let loose in thy hands
In this day of life where I struggle
Everyday in pursuit of happiness
And of love and togetherness
O great creator
It is thy help that I seek
To pull me out of the hours of darkness
And lead through the light of your creation
And help me to create too
Love me 
I am loving and lovable too

Day 16. I dare to dream

There are certain dreams which don't let you sleep and I say may they take away all from me. People who know me say I am a born dreamer and yes that’s true. This is what best describes me. Many years before, I dreamt to be a soldier and this one won’t let me sleep. When I cleared my SSB and till the time I joined the academy, I got completely fixated on donning the olive greens. This shade of green was the colour which looked the best on me which later on rose to become my way of life, my attitude of life. However, as I speak of dreams, this was my most possessed and obsessed dream and I desired it so deeply that I lived it later on. Although I called quits after living it gloriously for ten years, I am still part of the organization, only the role differs this time. And now my dreams have a reverence which is diametrically opposite. Read about my biggest dreams here. This is for the dreamer in me.

To my dreams,


You look so radiant, as never before,


With a snow white glow, as never before.


I blush today on your shore,


In your love tells me my chore.


The charisma prevails in the air


And tells my dreams to be my pair,


To show me the way and head to lay,


Where I will live them in every way.


I hold you tight until you are gone,


And live up for the love of the dawn.

Dream, because if you can’t dare to even that, for me that’s being in a life with no desires. Having desires and striving to achieve them, is all what life is about. So widen your horizons and design your life as you want it to be. Be a dreamer, be an achiever.

Day15. She's a 'Freedom Girl' don't you know?

Freedom Girl

Defying the laws,

Opposing the trends,

Breaking the norms,

What could you call her, but ‘Freedom Girl’.

I am free, don’t you know?

To change the world in a go.

I am born ‘free’, to live ‘free’,

When ‘who cares’ is my spree.

That’s why they say,

What could you call her, but ‘Freedom Girl!’

A ‘Freedom Girl?’

Yeah ! I am.

A free girl, born of fire,

Fire of agony and insurgence,

Rebel and revenge.

The rebelliousness, which makes them say,

She’s a ‘Freedom Girl’, don’t they say?

Mirror, Mirror on The Wall

Mirror mirror on the wall

Who’s the prettiest

I asked them all

The answers were different all the time

And never took a name which was mine

I kept looking in the mirror day and night

When the mirror would love me and hold me tight

And last night when I woke up in my dreams

I saw myself looking at my extreme

She looked so gorgeous full of attitude

And told me the secret to my gratitude

I walk with oomph, I walk in style

My style is so classy, its so versatile

Sarees, suits, a dress or pair of jeans

I carry it well just like my teens

Biba, Lakme, Levi or Gucci

I match it well with an elegant Mochhi

I dress to charm, I dress to kill

I keep it impeccable yet simple

I am a fashionista , I am a diva

A girl full of compassion

And passionate about ‘FASHION’

I heard it all I heard it well

To push myself out at last from my shell

The beauty is in me as the one in the mirror

I just have to know how to make it clearer

So if I ask the mirror next

The beauty would be me unperplexed
