HOME :)
You often wonder where you belong. Who you would run to, or call when you have something exciting say…
As I lay in bed racking my enormously and annoyingly vivid memory, searching for all the people I’ve met and have been close to, the times I’ve spent with them and a part of myself I shared with the, something flashed by brightly.
Shruthi’s dimpled smile. Simren’s dreamy look, Kirtana’s “it’ll be alright” tone, Deepa’s “life can’t f**k you unless you allow it to” attitude, Bhavana’s craziness, Nanditha’s sincerity and determination and of course Shreyas’ carefree nature at once reminded me that this is exactly where I belong.
This is where I would be when I want to laugh or cry,jump, cartwheel or eat fryms!
This is who I turn to.Layout friends.
All of us, for years, have journeyed so far and it has been wonderful!
You are the brightest in my memory and like my memory you shall never fade.
When I am with you I am exactly where I belong.
With all of you I am in my happy place. My home
So I’d like to start this new year by thanking all of you for being here all these years
And thanks for your being here for the years to come
Lots of love to all of you:D
Yeppie!!!

VIOLET
The green grass stands tall
Hiding and protecting me from all
When the wind blew
You tasted my fragrance
But you refused
To acknowledge my presence.
How many feet have scurried by
How many stepped on my face
Even the bees and the butterflies
They never knew
And just like you
Not once stopped to see
What lay behind this grass-tree
how many hearts I have yearned to feel
how much pain I have concealed
not one soul desired to know
that I, too, am a part of this meadow.
Shrunken and shunned I fall
Behind the green grass that stands tall
Blocking me out from all
When the wind blows
You taste my fragrance
But you still refuse
To acknowledge my presence.
Told me his sorrows
And shared his pain.
Tears streaming down his face
He longed for comfort and solace
A friendly smile
And a few soft words
Was all he wanted from this world.
At once I dropped myself
To his side
Until he began to smile.
At once his face lit up
Like the brightest star in the sky
Oh! What bliss it was to see
Such happiness in his life.
On his brightest day he left
No longer pained
By the sorrows that he felt
As he waved goodbye
He failed to see
That behind my smile
Was my own tear in my eye.

The sky was clear
The birds were chirping like they knew no fear
Along came a little girl in rags
(and not to forget those gunny bags)
With a melody on her lips like
She had no worries in life
She went on and on
Until she came upon
A tree where little sobs that were
Filled with sorrow and pain could be heard.
She went around to see
What could be so melancholy
For the day was bright
With blinding light
And there by the roots of the tree
Sat a little dog full of weeps
The girl was agape
But managed to say-
“come here little dog
Don’t be afraid
For I mean no harm
And will keep you safe”
The fluffy do turned his fluffy head
His eyes big and round and scared
The girl picked him up and said
“don’t worry little doggie
My name is Amy”
The sun was frowning
The clouds had gathered
The birds were screaming
With a fit of fear
The little dog winced
And Amy said
“don’t worry little doggie
God is always there”
Tiny crystals from the sky
Fell upon them blinding their eyes
Amy ran as though she followed a guiding light
Until she saw her hut gleaming in the moonlight
She nursed her dog
And from that day on
They were an inseparable lot
One day Amy awoke
to find her doggie gone
she said to herself-“ oh well
he might have found his master
by whom he was looked after”
and with that she shed a bitter tear
but as she turned around
she found
a bunch of flowers on her bed
which her fluffy friend had kept with ail
and there he was wagging his tail!

A DEDICATION TO MY GI BUDDIES
when the sun was bright
shining with all itts might
we all walked hand in hand by the sparkling blue lagoon
and smiled at out friendship-our boon.
we jumped, we laughed,we rolled,we danced
we fought,we cried,we hugged,we laughed
celebrated life and promised
never to leave each other's side.
we walked back home with heavy steps
and as we laid down to rest
we waited for another day of zest.
But today we awoke
to an eerie silence that provoked
streams of tears to flow down our eys
as we realised the gravity of our separated lives
and painfully we succumbed to the reality of life.
we had vowed to always be together
but now we are torn away from each other
it is a cold winter day
and behind a cloudy blanket
the sun is shying away
we are walking on different lands
with a tear in our eye
hoping that someday
we'll all walk hand in hand
once again by the sparkling blue lagoon
and smile at our friendship which is now a curse'd boon.

SIX FEET UNDER
some are bumpy, some a piece of cake.
some are twisted, some have no end
or they are full of bends.
And yet some might cross each other
but in the end, the all lead you six feet under.
Now this place is a very friendly place. In fact its so friendly that it takes the sole responsibility of giving you a hands on experience of the hardships of life so that you are prepared for anything. Sadly, by the time we leave this place that we are immensely attached to, we would have experienced every single form of hardship in every degree that there will neither be any more challenges left to experience nor will we have the strenght to withstand it.This place is also very educational. It has taught me every single effect of stress on humans through direct demonstration. I have learnt how to incapacitate even the most brilliant of people through 3 simple activities that should be conducted every six months.
It is in this place that i have understood what ultimate bliss feels like as i have been constatntly shown and have been pushed to experience evrything that bliss is not.
This place is heaven for those who wish to dwell in hell.
And it is in deep gratitude for this amazing place that i have decided to offer coconuts every morning in praise of its greatness!

YOU'RE THE BEST
don't know where to go
wish you had someone to tell
you how to get out of this hell
looking around
nothing can be found
tired of searching
tired of waiting
exhausted and messed up
how much more of all this can u sup?
so get up and walk out the door
if its closed,break it down and soar
into the sky
just keep flying high
you're not alone
you're not afraid
yuo've got yourself
so just be brave
and keep on keeping on.
don't look back
just keep running straight
this is yuor life
this is your time
the stage is set
the curtains are raised
so let yourself go
for this is YOUR show!
someone is walking in and out
the bird is chirpping
its voice in my eaar is shrieking
the sun smiling
maliciously fills my room
until i pass out into the gloom
suddenly the darkness envolopes me
blinds my eye
chokes my throat
blockrs my ear
until i can feel only fear
there is no door
there is no bird
there is no one.
i am lying still
waiting for the dead silence to kill
but slowly i hear a thump
and i can feel the movement of my lump
i am in a haze
in a never-ending maze
my heart is open
and people are walking in and out.
DARKNESS
Sometimes its nice to be in the dark
you could get lost and no will ever find you
you don't have to search for keys
to open the right door
for in darkness,there are no doors
you don't have to wipe away your tears
to hide them from the world
for in darkness,there is no wolrd
you don't have to search for light
to find your way out
for in darkness there is no way out
you don't have to seek comfort
when in the dark
for darkness is comfort
yet people struggle hard
to fight the dark
for they don't realise
that in darkness there lies
a wonderful place full of peace
if you could pause just for a moment please
you too could relish this dark night
after all, if you don't know the dark
how will know the light?
my first poem
i love writing poetry.
writing comes to me in sudden bursts of creativity.
here's the first poem i ve written in my life...
i was 9years old..
TREE
i think there is nothing as lovely as a tree
for it is a unique thing to see
its branches are spread far and wide
and its bloom is hung down by its side
i think there is nothing as lovely as a tree
for it is a unique thing to see!
