Happy Teacher's Day!

To everyone who touched my life and helped me on the journey. To everyone who guided me, disciplined me, taught me, encouraged me and led me...You have made me what I am today.
Happy teachers's day and Thank you!

And back...again

There is something about rains...I feel like writing again. Days, months, years have gone by. My writer's block stands victorious and indestructible.
Moved house,  moved on in life, the country has moved on. The new government surely has some promises. I wish them power and wisdom. Hope they are able to deliver on their promise and then some more.

मन

कभी चंचल कभी सौम्य
कितने भाव बदलता है
कभी काला कभी निराला
कितने रंग बदलता है ये मन

कभी गहरा कभी सतही
कितने मर्म छुपाता है
कभी जिज्ञासू कभी शिथिल
कितनी गुत्थियाँ खोलता है ये मन

कभी आहत कभी हर्षित
कितने घाव भरता है
कभी अजेय कभी पराजित
कितने युद्ध लड़ता है ये मन

कभी दुपहरि कभी शाम
कितने दिन गिनता है
कभी पतंग कभी धरा पर
कितनी उड़ाने भरता है ये मन

कभी विह्वल कभी विभोर
कितनी अठखेलियाँ खेलता है
कभी सुरमयी कभी नीरस
कितनी कवितायें लिखता है ये मन

I gave you my heart

I gave you my heart
Glad you carry it safe in yours
Now I know why I feel the pain
Every single moment you are gone
For you keep a part of me from me.

2009 Missing

It's a shame! I did not post a single blog in the year 2009. I was away to far off places and I was missing home. That sapped all my energy. Now am back, alive and kicking again. So here's to 2009...

2008 ended on a mixed note. There is a new addition to my family - my little niece. There was a sad incident around October which is difficult to get over but as the wise said "time cures the worst of wounds". Then there was a white Christmas and the dawn of a new year.

2009 saw the arrival of my second little niece. We are so blessed!

I worked, traveled around, went skiing, driving, cruising, clubbing and had fun. There were windfalls and pitfalls all the year but I made it back home and in good time to gather round with the family for festivities and merriment.

Thank you God for all my blessings and hope you will help me overcome what I have lost as you always do.
