Old Friend

old friend I’m sure you will never forget, Where we used to wildly play. 

The night was never an obstacle; To us, it was forever day. 

I’m sure you will never regret, The quarrels we used to have. 

We have offended each other well; But by it, learnt good from bad. 

I’m sure you will never trash, The memories we have constructed. 

The ones we often summon, When our souls become corrupted. 

I’m sure you will never reject, That I was ever a friend. 

Oh, how we spent the years fully; Years that surpassed an end. I’m sure you will never appear, At my doorstep ever again. I’ve never shown appreciation; So thank you dearly, old friends...

Free fall

Sitting Near by the Shore

You are Looking Straight into My face, Your Piercing Eyes..    

And I am Looking into the Mirror, Looking at My own Reflection 

Do I recognize Myself ???  For I don't Know .. 

You ask Me, What Happened to You ?

What's Wrong With You, Where are you ?? 

I said, I want to Go Beyond the Barriers 

I want to Sink Myself into the Deep Waters

मैं अपने आप में ही उलझी हूँ  मैं तुमसे क्या कहूं, मुझे खो जाने दो हवा में.

इन उलझे हुए ज़िन्दगी के बेसुरे तारों को ज़रा सुलझा लेने दो, इसकी लय ताल को वापिस लौटा लाने के लिए मुझे जाने दो.

I Don't Know How Am I Expressing Myself,  am I sounding Pleasant, Rude, Angry ... 

Please Don't Accuse me, Don't Blame me, Don't Expect Anything; for I have Lost my Senses as You Think 

I am Not That One Whom You Ever Knew, I am a Shadow of that Name and that Face 

मैं अपने आपे में ही नहीं हूँ

मैं रास्ते भूल रही हूँ

मुझे रास्ता तलाशने दो 

मुझसे सवाल ना करो, मुझे डर  लगता है उनसे  

वे मेरे चारों ओर  घेरा बना कर मुझे बाँध लेते हैं 

मुझे मत बांधो 

Let me Disperse Myself into the Air and in the Water and in the Sand ..

चलो कही चलते हैं

ज़िन्दगी तू  मुझसे खफा और मैं तुझसे 

ज़िन्दगी तू मुझसे परेशान और मैं तुझसे 

ज़िन्दगी तुझे मैं नापसंद और मुझे तू पसंद नहीं 

ज़िन्दगी तू मेरी आकांक्षाओं, महत्वकांक्षाओ और सपनों से परेशान  और मैं तेरी लगाईं हुई बंदिशों से 

ज़िन्दगी मैं तुझसे थक गई हूँ और तू तो  जाने कब से मुझसे थक कर अपना हाथ छुड़ा चुकी है.

ज़िन्दगी  तू मेरी नित नई  इच्छाओं के कभी ना खुटने वाले खजाने से झुंझलाई हुई है और मैं तेरे मन के रीते हुए घड़े को देखकर रोये जाती हूँ.

ज़िन्दगी ना तूने मुझसे कुछ पाया और  ना मुझे कुछ दिया 

ज़िन्दगी  ना  जाने कैसे हर रोज़ हम एक दूसरे  का  साथ हँसते हँसते  निभाये जा रहे हैं 

ज़िन्दगी हर रोज़ तू उसी पुराने रास्ते पर मुझे उठाये ले चलती है और हर सुबह मैं एक नए रास्ते की तलाश में अलग अलग दिशाओं में भागती  जाती हूँ  … लौट आने के लिए उसी पुराने रास्ते पर.

ज़िन्दगी तू मुझसे खफा और मैं तुझसे  फिर भी हम चले जा रहे हैं एक साथ, एक ही रास्ते पर अलग अलग मंजिलों की तरफ  ….  जानते  हुए कि रास्ते का अंत नहीं और मंजिल का कोई नाम कोई ठिकाना नहीं फिर भी हम चले जाते हैं।

Before I Die

Before I Die, Let Me Sing One Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Dance One Last Time 

Before I die, Let Me Laugh Freely One Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Smile One Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Explore Those Lofty Heights One First and Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Touch That Blue Sky One First and Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Spread My Wings and Fly To The Unknown Horizons One Last Time 

Before I Die, Let Me Sleep On Clouds One First and Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Awake With A Golden Morning One First and Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Feel that Beautiful Night Which Would Not Bring Sorrows One First And Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Fall in Love One First and  Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Feel the Rain Drops on My Cheeks One Last Time

Before I Die, Let Me Lost in Your Arms One First and Last Time So That I Could Never Return Back

Before I Die, Let me Kiss You One First and Last Time So That I Can Sleep Peacefully 

before I Die, Let Me ... Let Me Live One First and Last Time With My Volition and Will

That wasn't ...

That wasn't Love .... You know this.

That wasn't Love, when you said that "I Love You". 

That wasn't Love, when you said that "I want to be with You only".

That wasn't Love, when you said that "I want to spend My whole Life with You". 

That wasn't Love, when you said all those sweet words to me ... You know this.. don't You? 

That wasn't Love, when you said that "I will always be with You.. I always want to be with you.."

That wasn't Love, when you said that "You got to Believe Me..."

What Kind of Love it was, when You don't wanted to Know ME but to Appreciate My Outer Skin only..   

That wasn't Love, when You told  ME and when you did not... and When you Left the Sentence Unfinished...

You wanted to be Understood .. I wanted to be Listened

You wanted to be Trusted.. I wanted to be Patient..  

You spoke, I spoke .. None listened.. 

You wanted to Win, I wanted to Lose..

Neither You Won Nor I Lost..

Your plush Rainbow dreams had no place for my  Rough and Bumpy wishes..

What kind of Love it was, when You Couldn't sense the Pain behind my Laughter.. 

That wasn't Love.. and I was well aware of that.. still wanted to sail along with the waves...

That wasn't Love.. I could see the barren land beneath the flower beds ... I could see the pronged thorns crawling around ...

That wasn't Love... I could sense the shriveled and artificial  words .. 

That wasn't Love ... Those Old Words... have lost their warmth and freshness ..

What kind of Love was Yours that it's Heat never would have been able to Melt my Heart.. 

That wasn't Love .. Yes I knew that.. yet wanted to let myself get wet in the shower of  emotions and impulses... 

That wasn't Love... That wasn't Love… That was a  Pretense  of  Love…  

  

This Journey.. That Destination..

Be Vasco Be Columbus..

Solo goes the Marco Polo..

From Arctic to Antarctic…

Colorado to Volga..

Nile to Ganges..

Among Millions…Since the Ages… Alone Shines the “North Star”..

Discover The Destiny…. That Lies Beyond the Lofty Mountains and Sleeping Upon the Bed of Dark Woods…

Destiny… Playing with Roaring Stormy Waves, Calling Our Name to Touch the Untouchable, to Explore the Unknown, to See the Unseen…  

Discover The Path..  that will  lead us Towards the Bright Mornings and to those Calm Nights for which we are dreaming so far..

This Day.. That Morning, when the Sun will Shine on Our Sky and That Dusk when the Moon will Sprinkle Bright Rays on Our Earth..

This day.. This Time… The Momentum , The  Direction that will take us to Our Destination.. that is waiting to be Unveiled ..Since Ages..
