One warm afternoon when it was freezing outside ....

Khidki ke sheeshon par barf ke phool jam rahe hain
Piili si lamp ki roshni gungunahat bikher rahi hain
chai ki woh garam pyali tand haathon ko senk rahi hain
chanchal so muskurahatein aankhon se takra rahi hain
zubaan se jyada woh chamakthi aankhein baatein suna rahi hain
woh pyaari si shor gaalon mein bhanwar bana jaati hain ...

Few years back somebody gifted me this glass jar, right from day one I loved it... recently it broke.... so felt like writing something for this jar whom I loved so much and which helped me in kitchen all these years... In college I studied John Keat's 'Ode to Urn ' ... I loved that poem.. so felt like writing something in similar way for my sweet jar...:)

Sabki ek kahani hoti hai, meri bhi hai...
kisi kalakaar ke haathon meine apna roop paya..
kisi ki pyar bahri nainon ne mujhe pehchana..
aur uske aashiyaan pahunchi..
kisi haathon ne pyar se sambhala tha mujhe
kisi ke nanhe se chehre pe muskuranatein aayi mujhe dekh kar..
zindagi guzar gayi, waqt udd gaya..
ek din mein toot gayi, bikhar gayi...
phir kisi ne pyar se mujhe naya roop diya..
aur mein phir se khilne lagi, muskurane lagi...
ek baar phir roshan hui, zindagi phir gungunane lagi..

Million drops of water

I was born in the mountains,
played with the clouds.

I ran in the flowery meadows,
danced with the winds.

I played with little kids in the summer sun,
sat with the old man under the winter sky.

I smiled with the young girl,
wiped tears of the old woman.

I was woken up by herd of sheeps,
slept with the lonely shepherd's body.

I am a friend for them in their happy days,
a companion in their hey days.

I am a sunshine on their smilling face,
a tear of their grieving hearts.

I was born to make happy,
but myself lost in infinity.

Everything was different..

I woke up today,
jus to find everything different....

The sunlight comming into the room
was quiet,
the mirror whom i say hello,
didnt greet.
Everything was different....

I went out to find
things even more different....

The autumn sky was alone,
the sun was not smiling,
the clouds were not dancing,
somewhere they were sad.
Everything was different...

I was on a walk in the woods,
the trees were not talking,
the falling leaves were sad,
the wind was not whispering,
the bees were not humming,
the way was not walking with me.
Everything was different...

I wondered what happened,
I didn't knew anything
I asked everyone,
nobody knew....

I slipped into my bed,
the night sky didn't say a word,
the moon was busy with the black clouds,
the starts didn't come to kiss me,
my sleep was lost somewhere in the darkness,
my dreams, don't know where they were.
Everything was different...

I asked myself, '' what happened?''
My heart said, ''nothing is different.
jus u r alone''
ya....i was alone...

When the birds sing,
when the leaves smile,
when the bees says I love u in Spring,
I met him.


When the sun shined on my face,
when the cool breeze kissed me
when my heart said I love u in Summer,
I said hello to him.

When leaves said bye to the trees
when the cold wind passed by
when the dew drops welcomed my feet
somewhere in the autumn sky,
when the clouds hugged me
we became frnds

And then came to the party
the winter with romance
the spring with smile
the summer with shine
the autumn with cosy warmth
and we celebrated our frndship
