I'm...


I'm an eternal flame!
The flame which illumines some poor’s hovel
The flame which glows in the lamp of the shrine
The flame which brightens granny’s eyes seeing her son’s son
The flame which lightens the heart of a lover seeing 'her' smile!

I'm a flame of faith the believer keeps in his God
I'm a flame of love the mother has for her child
I'm a flame of audacity the warrior shows for his nation
I'm a flame of liberty the slave wants from his slavery

You can fade my blaze but cannot put me out
I will always burn inside you day in day out!

Pa

It's Father's Day tomorrow! And here's something for you papa! A small pre-gift from your daughter!

You are the one who’s
ready to catch me before I fall
but instead picks me up,
brushes me off,
and lets me try again.
You are the one who
wants to keep me from making mistakes
but instead lets me find my own way,
even though your heart breaks in silence
when I get hurt.
You are the one who
holds me when I cry,
scolds me when I break the rules,
shines with pride when I succeed,
and has faith in me even when I fail...
Love you, Papa! :)

Inner soul...

Life is a perfect blend of joy and sorrow! And not a single human being is distributed with more or less. Deity is so kind to consider everyone at par. Sometimes in the wave of gloom, we lose all our strength and continuously blame and curse the almighty for being so unfair to us. In dissatisfaction, lots of questions run inside and we wander all the time in the search of true answers. Few days back, loaded with some such questions, I read few shlokas from Gita somewhere: ‘Whatever you see is not always the reality. Mind is always greater than the vision. So if you see something, you should ask your mind for its reality. While judging, if mind creates confusion, raise your wisdom which you have earned so far from experiences. It will always assist to justify the situation. And if wisdom also fails to guide you, listen to your inner soul. Soul never misleads.’ So if the circumstances are unfavorable, try to see them from the eye of soul, you will visualize the same picture with some added colors of hopes!

You!


I know somewhere the sun is shining for me
Spreading the smiling glow
I know somewhere the rain is drizzling for me
To make me happily flow

I know there is another sky, so serene and fair
Spread over my head for the gentle loving care

I know somewhere there is you
To take away all my worries and blue
I know somewhere there is you
Just for me, so pure and true!

Years may come and years may go
There is one thing that I surely know
My life is beautiful because my world includes you!
My existence is worth because my world includes you!
