Perfect vacation

Coffee, shades and the beach To be happy in life What else do you need?!

A New Life

I took a leap Fell flat on the face Picked up and put on the death bed Breathing gets heavy No one to resuscitate I lie there, waiting for the imminent Praying for the death And boom I'm still unconscious Breathing is still heavy And a slap on the back I cry Pangs of birth

For A Friend

The whiff of strong coffee Was enough to light up that flame The flame of love The flame of friendship The flame of camaraderie Amid those breaks Those girlie talks Those fun times What we not really realized Was the bond of love The bond of friendship The bond of camaraderie Life makes a move Like pawns we adjust To meet at another crossroads of life To get high on another cuppa

A Long Shot

Meek, timid and lonely soul I, Speck, take the sidewalk in the world of words Boisterous, Gigantic words push and shove me On the road less travelled I bump into a group of meaningless wanderers And turn Spectacular

Casual Conversation

I love those talkative eyes and silent lips I love the way you move and flirt with your looks You seem to glide or is it that you fly? How could you look so good, Please justify "Look deeper, the soul is prettier than I"

Time Flies

Sometimes amid coffee sips; We sat, saying nothing; Sometimes there wasn’t enough time; Sometimes there were little little big things; Sometimes there were sweet nothings; Calendar says it’s been 8 years; I feel 8 months

As I work harder to untangle it All the more jumbled it gets As I try to clear the clutter Circumstances, it seems, work harder It's not my cup of tea, they say I feel it's just not my day I hope it would come some day

RIP

Something died inside me last night When I saw human forms spread on the road Awaiting someone to rescue them I hoped someone will save them Hoping and praying, I passed by I didn't stop, just let them be But something breathed its last Apparently it was the poet inside me Who till sometime back was trying to take birth

We, Together

Sharing the same space, We live in different time zones Sharing our lives, We live in our own worlds Sharing our joys, We have our own sets of problems Sharing our love, We have our patches of loneliness Loving our differences We are together till death do us part

Riding A Cycle Of Awareness

Here's a success story. Not the rags-to-riches kinds, but of achieving the unthinkable. Neither their lack of years nor their address -- they belong to the slum areas -- has been able to stop them. This bunch of little angels from Janta Colony and Adarsh Nagar in Nayagaon, who're anywhere between nine and 14 years of age, has managed to improve the health status of other slum kids. And for all the hard work they put in since May, the youngsters have earned smart bicycles. They will be felicitated on Sunday, the birthday of Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, who wanted to create responsible citizens out of children. And, here's a group he would've been proud of. Older children looking after the little ones' health might have sounded like an unachievable task but then Gurpreet Singh, assistant director of NGO Developing Indigenous Resources (DIR), came up with the novel idea two years ago. Today, it has turned out to be one of the most successful projects and the NGO's chief ...
