Childrens of War

Children of War,

innocent and unaware

of beautiful life

outside their world

Their eyes filled 

with solemn memories

and dreams of 

peaceful life

They are surrounded

by the noise 

of grenades of the evil

and human carcasses

due to the war

Th nightmares visit

them every night

with the same events

of horrifying day

replaying in their minds

The pain of losing

someone dear to them

is worse than

the pain of losing

a limb or leg

They only desire

for beautiful sunshine

and playground

where they could play
like any normal child

The Sweet Love

The crescent moon
shined like white pearl
in the dark violet sky
The wind danced
to the music of
sweet love

I slept like a child
on your laps,
dreaming carelessly
about future so bright

You sang lullaby whole night
with all your heart
though you made lyrics
on your own

It was late
but we didn't care
What mattered to us
was the sweet love
that bounded us
together into one

I moaned softly
while you brushed my hair
You kissed my cheeks
while I blushed.

Now I sit alone
with memories of us
sharing sweet love
at our first night
of togetherness

Rays of sun

Rays of sun,
bright and golden
trying to hide its glory
behind the grey clouds

It peeps out momentarily
like the shy girl blushing
at every glimpse of her man

Hope and miracles
are like rays of the sun
in the winter sky.
They come and go
like the four seasons


The sweet love,
the deep feelings,
the warm cuddles;
and desire of being loved
is need of the hour

The rain drops
from the heaven above
as the blessings
for bright future

As the rain stops,
the rainbow arises
out of the clouds
with the seven colours
of joy and prosperity

The promise

Her lips were red

like petals of the rose

Her eyes were innocent blue

that had not witnessed 

big bad world.

She wore red dress

with dancing white polka dots

It was first gift

from love of her life

She waited for him

at the place 

where he left her

with a promise 

to come back soon

Three years passed

like three hours 

and there was no sign

of him coming back

Her feet ached

due to unforgiving 

six inch heel 

and the long wait

While everybody lost hope

she didn't give up 

A ray of light

shined within her 

that he would come

and sweep her 

by his magical charm

As clock struck twelve,

it was time to leave

She returned back home

with unbroken hope

that he will come tomorrow 

The second chance

I was cold

with my heart broken

by many wrong men

who I believed

to be my shiny armour prince

Ah! My foolish heart

fell too quickly

due to tricks and lies

I learnt from fantasy land

I knew the pain

was coming

but I didn’t care

I fell deep and hard

like Alice in the wonderland

The nights were horrible

with pain filled dreams

about past I screwed

I had lost hope

and love to me

was fictional

I was lost

in woods of despair

when he came out of nowhere

saving me from my demons

He instilled in me

a belief in love

and showed me

what it is to being loved

He loved me deeply,

breaking the wall

I had built

He showered me

care and affection

that I had missed so long

Love is a treasure

that cannot be found

It happens

just like that

What Diwali means to you and what it means to your parents ?

What does Diwali means to us? Well,that's a pretty interesting question to answer. As kids ( for my sister and me), Diwali was about bursting crackers of various kinds. During teens, Diwali for us, was desire to meet cousins as we stayed far away from them ( We were staying in Dubai while cousins and relatives were in Bangalore)

But now Diwali means much more to us. While mum would be busy preparing sweets with help of aunty (her sister), Diwali for her would be sharing the pain and fun in preparing sweets with aunty. For my sister, it means wearing new clothes and looking her best. For my Dad, Diwali means meeting old friends and spending time (the time that he had lost during previous Diwalis) with family. For me, Diwali is not just a festival but celebrating happiness.

In whole It is beginning of new chapter to us ( family and me). It is sharing of love and joy with friends and family. It is forgiving people and giving them a chance to redeem themselves . It is about forgetting the past and moving forward towards the bright future. It is lighting the diya of hope within our hearts and discarding the fear within us.

For us, Diwali is not just a occasion to celebrate Lord Rama’s return from exile. It is not just a festival for us where the good wins against the evil. It is spreading happiness into our lives. It is a day where we forget our miseries for sometime. It is a day when everyone comes together ( forgetting the cold wars) to share special moments. It is a day where elders bless while young ones seek for love and affection. It is pious occasion that brings in togetherness, happiness and positivity in everybody’s lives. It is a day where you burn the evil inside our soul.

I would like to share a small poem which will summarize what Diwali means to us.

While lights of diya wait

to gleam like shining star.

While the kids wait eagerly

to bursts crackers of joy .

Diwali has begun for us

when new hope for beginning

has lit within us.

While sweets of love

is being shared amongst everyone.

While people wear new clothes

as a symbol of new beginning

Diwali for us,

is symbol of breaking free

from our inner demons

While friends come home

with gifts of love

While family sit down

to celebrate the pious occasion

Diwali for us

is not just a festival

It is an occasion

to celebrate happiness

While for everyone

Diwali is just occassion

for coming together

Diwali for us

is celebration

of everything positive

On this special occasion, I wish everyone Happy Diwali :)

A Love Poem

My heart beats his name 

a thousand time

My mind  draws imaginations

of fantasies of every little girl.

My face glows

when I take his name

My body trembles

with his every touch 

Love didn't seem special

until he came into my life

Time never felt so long

while our day of  union

is few nights away

The sweet kisses,

the passionate love,

the tight bear hugs,

and the sparks 

glorify our romance

The day when we commit

to safeguard each other's heart,

We will look into (each other's)eyes

at the dreams of our future

At that special day

I make a promise

to protect his heart

with love and care

I promise to love him

with all heart and mind

I also promise him

to be truly his
