Shabd-e-Gul


Its been a while I wrote to you.

Likthe toh har roz hain. Kaeen lamhon mein kuch ankahi si baatein khud-b-khud shabd ban jati hain, mano ek haar khud-se hi moti seechne laga.

I found your words the other day, sitting prettily in that letter you wrote to me. Along with that I found many pages of love dedicated, to me and to us. At times, I wonder how words can possibly be at loss when one falls in love. The inexplicable feeling, the joy; all but a treasure of memories kept safely in a satin blanket. As the petals of the roses you gifted me settle to get dried in the book, I think of the innumerable moments of happiness you brought ever since you walked into my life. You say words don’t come to you easily, if they do, they start and end for me. You know how I’m fond of your words and your writing style. As your beloved dear, I wish to take this remark of yours as a compliment, but the reader inside me sways the beloved aside and says “You, Ms.Lover, are causing a thought block there for the guy!!?? Do you even realise that?” This heart heaves a little sigh for I know I miss your words.

You know dear, I never thought I would end up writing endless poems on love, beauty and friendship. Perhaps it’s a way of the heart that it sings and forms a melody of its own leading me to pen down words knitted to weave poetry.

There are times when you are so dearly missed. Yet your calm words, your presence in the absence instils in me the confidence that things indeed shall fall in place, that good things will and shall happen to good people. Ever since you offered me that lake of optimism, I have drawn many a buckets full. The lake at your end never fails to get emptied nor do the buckets at this end.
Life surprises us in many a ways. How strangers end up being the closest to us and how distance seeps in relationships we thought were as strong as rock. It’s like a balance of scales perhaps, some people being deleted at one end, only to be gifted with the warmest and most genuine ones at the other end. This brings a smile. And then I’m reminded of Calvin & Hobbes. How we laughed together as I cracked one joke after another to you on the phone. In moments filled with heart filled laughter and twinkling eyes, I think of the many smiles and reasons filled with contentment I have been offered by you, your presence and your friendship.

I have come a full circle. In magnificent ways than I could ever imagine.

You are here.

Celebrating Love


Love Day: Everyday

And as I have always believed my dear
Steady remains my belief
Love those who left you
But love the ones still there, more
Coz love is that fantastic force
That brings everyone real close.

You see that cloud smiling
That one right there on your left
Well, I see, you see, they don’t,
Coz we have the power of love blessed

As the winter melts into blossoms
With fragrance sprinkling all around
The arms are little, but hugs are big
Let’s enwrap and let the love surround

The rainbows are perfect
The smiles are too
In the eyes of those I love

And hey dear pal
A million thank you’s
Filled with chocolates we love

Libraries I like:)




“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
