The India I knew

The India I knew
Where we grew up
Just knowing we were Indians
When I celebrated Holi, Diwali, Christmas n Eid
With the same excitement n joy
I never remembered what my religion was
Just that I’m an Indian
And my home was India
Today when I see the sad face of Riots
N people judging u from your face about your religion
It’s all in a name today
As I see slowly things getting burned
Is it the same India I grew up in
Today I see turmoil , chaos
The fabric of peace being ripped apart
Shredded
Ashes strewn around
It has all come down to a name
Yet we were always taught what’s in a name
What is in your heart is more important
But today what is in their heart
Is only seen
By what’s in a name-

🌅 Sunset n you

🌅 sunset n you
Every sunset teaches us a new lesson
No matter how good or bad the day was
It came to an end
And next morning u wait for another new sunrise
A sunset is painted in different shades
Through out the world
Every sunset is beautiful in its own way
One of its kind
That’s how you are
Some will value you like a beautiful sunset
Some might just look at you like smudges of different shades
Some might value each colour
It’s not you
It’s each one’s different perception of you
The sunset is always beautiful
You have to have the heart n soul to see it
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
Go on and be a beautiful breathtaking sunset every single day
And paint a beautiful unique shade
Memorable n distinct
Good morning people 😁Have a lovely weekend ahead-

By the Beach

By the Beach
I sat on the white washed beaches
The gleaming sands
Looked at the beautiful sun kissed skies
Beaming in Golden hues
It was so quiet n still
The waves 🌊 played lazily with my feet
Beckoning me towards them
The lazy buzzing of the bees
Were tempting me to fall into
A deep slumber
I sat sipping my cool coconut water
N enjoying the distant horizon
For once no agenda
Just a free spirited living
The day passed n gave way to the soft hues of white
Painted by the moon
The beach looked more beautiful at night
The singing dancing n the beach party
Lent it’s own beauty
There was just a peaceful bliss all around

Valentines

Valentines
A bunch of red Roses
Red heart shaped balloons
A candlelight dinner
And a beautiful new outfit
Dressed to the hilt
Just one day for all this
What about the other days
Shouldn’t you be loved and pampered
Every single day
Does love need only one day n
A few colours n things to show you are valued n loved
What happens to the remaining days😁😁
Valentines should be every single day
Made more special over the years
Unique n tailor made to each one
Love does not need yard sticks to be measured
It’s an emotion which shouldn’t be defined
Free , insurmountable n special to each
Happy valentines Day Everyone!!! Rock it the way you like-

One day

One day she just decided to live
Live for herself
Live for the joy
Joy found in simple things
Live for the radiance
The brilliance
Brought from things
Which made her happy
She decided to explore
No agenda , no timetables
Just a free spirited living
No timelines
Live in the moment
Loving for herself
Became her mantra
And Alas !!! The alarm buzzed
Loud n clear
Reminding her of the dream she was having 😁
It was just a dream
Still need to come true

The journey of a sailor

The journey of a sailor
I sail in waters unchartered
I fight storms
N emotions
Sometimes it’s the expanse of blue
Sometimes it’s the colours of the harbour
But wherever I am
They are not mine
I don’t belong
I’m a sailor in the midst of the night
Or at the crack of dawn
But sometimes when I meet a kindered soul
We both talk about our journey
Then bade goodbye for our respective journeys ahead
I’m a sailor
Even if you r not sailing in the sea
You r still sailing in life
Searching n moving
The sailor said “ then why art thou ‘ contented.. keep looking for your purpose
Do not be still in your harbour
Keep moving
