Restless

 Rain drops pitter-patter on the window pane

The environ shivers as the wind howls and roars

A storm is raging wild

Restless , I pace , finding rhythm in the rain

The First Step

 Holding hands as we stand

Staring at the unknown, untrodden path

With the first ray of Dawn, shadows of doubt dissipate

Let's take the First step

Turning the pages to the next chapter

We will write together

There will be struggles, failures 

Amalgamating Success

Only making it more meaningful

Once we progress

So, let's take the first step

Collaborating and accumulating

Experiences, Laughter, moments of Shine

Let's take the First Step

And move ahead.

Lost and Found

 Dusk set in, a flock of birds were home bound

I looked up at the sky- ablaze with the last rays of the setting sun

Sitting on the beach with the waves surging lazily

Creating ripples of emotions -of past present and future moments 

Lived and missed

Lost and found

Amidst the cacophony of success and failure

Am I not enough, just being me?

Sitting idly enjoying the setting sun, here among the birds, the breeze and the sea?

Not measuring success only by achievement

But by living every moment, breathing free

Just as the breeze kissed my forehead and played with my tresses

It felt like Success, just by being me

Sitting idly enjoying the setting sun, here among the birds, the breeze and the sea

I found myself, not lost anymore

Living and loving

Looking forward to the next chapter

As the early rays of dawn

Marked the start of a New Morn!

For Pluto, My World (this was long due)

 This is an appreciation post for my world- Pluto (my furry companion)

If Happiness had a face, it will be like Yours, I am sure

Love, loads of it, is the only thing I have felt around you

You embody innocence, a heart so pure

We are lucky to be chosen by you

For sadness and pain, You are the cure

In your arms lie comfort, a companion so True

Coming back to you after a difficult day, is a feeling so secure

Your presence gives us strength to sail through

It looks like just yesterday and today you are already so mature!

Hope you feel the same way like we do, too

Here’s to many years of paw-someness and more!

God Bless!

Gratitude

 An Acronym poem to express my Gratitude for all my Gurus- at Home, School , College and Work....

Glimpses from the bygone days flashed before my eyes

Rolling the canvas of Time I flipped through the pages of Life

A heart full of gratitude for my Gurus, at Home, Educational Institutions and Work

Thanks to all the knowledge bestowed upon me through Learnings and Experiences

Incredible people who made each interaction memorable 

Teaching me Courage, Belief, Forgiveness, Empathy

Unique Values which have been engraved into my Being

Diverse thoughts yet converged into one- Empowerment

Everlasting memories bringing back the VALUES every time!

The Winds of Change

 Empty rooms stare back at me

As the cartons lay stacked , one on top of another

The cool evening breeze whispers 

“Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”

Leaving the known for the unknown

Untravelled paths , strange alleys, twists and turns

Yet another adventure, yet another chapter

“Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”

It seems just yesterday that we arrived 

With hopes, dreams and aspirations to conquer

Blessed to have achieved a few, yearning for more

“ Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”

The evening cascaded into twilight, Twilight into Dawn

As the first ray of Sunlight embraced the portico

It was Time to move on, don the cape of the traveller 

“ Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”

From Strangers to Friends

 It was a bright Sunny morning

The air crisp and fresh

The dew drops glittering with joy

Wished me Good Bye

As I boarded the train for a long journey forth

My heart skipped a beat

The engine purred into action

My journey had begun.

Eager, excited, I Looked out of the window

As my city was left behind

Trees, valleys, meadows danced along

And the train chugged ahead.

The metal wheels moved in full swing

While the track paved the way ahead

Dollops of white clouds embraced the clear blue sky

Smiling I believe, happy as I

The compartment was full 

Fellow passengers going to different destinations

But at the moment entwined together

Conversations flowed like the free flowing river

Stories , laughter, food …..shared and enjoyed

There sat an old lady, 

sharing stories as old and 

Intriguing as the wrinkles on her skin

The group a furlong away was singing happily

College students , I believe

The children played and made a delightful

Combination of colours and patterns

Of happy faces, faces which cannot be forgotten

The pages of my diary gets filled

With sketches of the happy moments

Which I know I will cherish, always.

Today as I sit and travel to those good old days

The old diary sits on my lap

How I wish I could go back

To those nomadic days

When I met strangers

But parted as friends.
