a case of mistaken identity

a typical south-indian can be merely a kannada, telugu, tamil or a malyali...not just a tamilian

as famously said..ek telugu aur tamil main itna farak hain..jitba ek punjabi aur bihari main...

der was a boy...der was a gal.....


aaah now how do i start...hmmmmmmmmmm...

like a setting sun amid clusterd clouds

a hoarding stood between us, me n her!

my eyes were searching for her

eager to see the god's gift for life

time stood still,seconds seemed ages!

then it happened, it appeared a dream

there she was, the first glance

left me in oblivion, the moment

dreamt all along, was rite der

bestowed upon me by herself

never felt that way before

no one made me feel the way! she did

she walked towards me with a smile

she was clad in that white attire

with those fairy long ear rings

she is the one, looking angel likes

i was in love with the most

beautiful gal, with a golden heart

i was lost in her charm/smile

words were falling short, i managed

to say 'you are pretty' whilst was

lost in a world of very own, two of us!

sitting beside her a realisation

how grateful iam, how graceful she is!!!


de were made for each other....hmmm;;)8->(fiction part-2)

set out with a numb mind
a journey to a strange land
bonvoyages along wid a hand
ful of memories,lil curious and
a lil doubtful,thoughts beyond
comprehensions,leaving behind
few dear ones,caught amid
conflicting emotions,i reached
the destination,welcomed
by three acquaintances!

god knows what lies ahead
now these are supposed
to be my family indeed!
hardly a week,i have friends
to feel home,shallow spaces
are filled with new faces
as if i knew them for ages
so here iam with new hopes
shedding off all the creepers
putting aside my inhibitions
here i come bristol!it seems
it was al written!!

allurin rain~~~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it comes down like a shower
of blessings,clad in the rigorous
days of sun it descends
to satiate a seeds thirst
to accede a small girl's wish
to soothe a peasants scourge!!

like the heavens have come
to the mother of mortals!
when the first drops bestow
upon us soaking us in its
sheer bliss, god's way
of benevolence,it is seen
everywhere from blossoming
flowers to blooming meadows
portraying the attire of mother
soulful!

in the cheerful shrills of children
in the leaping frogs
in the dancing peacocks
the soul of life comes
alive,here comes the long awaited
the most
alluring of all, drenching us
in the almighty's tears of joy!
here comes the rain!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~
