Happy Birthday

As another wonderful year comes knocking at your door, as you say goodbye to year gone by,
On this bittersweet journey called life, sometimes things might get rough but enjoy every moment and never forget to smile :)

Faith and belief are often under rated, keep your heart open, 
how but with a smile, God takes care of us all the time.

with a sigh of relief

Why did god create infinite stars, so beautiful and bright, yet far away millions of miles,

Even since I was a little boy, I looked up at the sky, wanted to reach for them, don’t know why.

So proud we are to be the only intelligent life ?

In this endless cosmos I feel so small looking at these vast skies,

Every time I talk to the stars they always twinkle and smile, burn all their lives to spread the light,

Isn’t that god speaking to us,

maybe he gave us wings, we are all just too afraid to fly,

or maybe he made it all for the angels, maybe he told them all the secrets of life,

with a sigh of relief I looked into your eyes, and paused ..

Happy Janamashtmi

There he stood, lost, suffocating in tight grip of dilemma twisted around his heart squeezing the life out of him,

Shoulders of sarvshreshtha dhanurdhar were getting weak, ready to be swallowed he put down his weapons,

This was no ordinary battle, not for the treasures, not for a throne, not for a piece of land,
at war with the self, he was breaking apart.

The charioteer showed him the way, the beginning, the middle, the end of it all,
Those with love in their heart and devotion in eyes saw his cosmic avatar,

From the nothingness to the infinity, in the good, in the evil, Lord Krishna resides in all,

The natkhat makhan chor see's the Arjuna in us all, just call onto him with love, he will steal away all your sorrows,  mellow sounds of kanha's flute will resonate in your heart.

Holding hands

Holding hands we sat by it's shore.
It spoke to us, the comforting sounds of her sacred waters, such was her love, what says it better than peace and quiet.
Sparkling emeralds shimmering in sunshine, mirrored in her reflection millions of sun, such was her beauty, what touches your soul.
Such was her energy, such was the power, we surrendered to her flow, so close yet so far from the frenzy of the world,
only us and stillness,
still holding hands.
Moments like this which brings us closer, such is the bliss, what else could I pray for.

Happy Birthday

Life keeps getting busy and sometimes we don't find time to express love and gratitude,
Birthday's are just an excuse to let you know, you bring us lots of smiles :)
Another beautiful year has passed by, pretty soon the heavens will open up and someone very special will come into your life,
with humility he will get down on his knees and hold your hand with pride,
like a fairytale it might sound, but always remember, god loves you dearly, you will always be all smiles :)

That's where you are ..

The paper was still blank, tip of the pencil needle sharp, did I hit the writers block ?
Ironic though, in search of some inspiration I closed my eyes and ceased all my thoughts.

Travelling faster than speed of light, within an instant it seemed like I've crossed dimensions of space and time, where was I ?  
No darkness, no light, no earth, no skies, nothing, not even I.
In the vastness of nothing, what is it that I'm looking for ?

When with a sudden silent burst of bright light, nothing turned into infinite.
Witnessing this cosmic play of stars being born,
Gravity pulling everything within and tearing everything apart,
Cosmic inflation expanding universe as if it would never stop.

With infinite probabilities of multiverses being born,
With billions of galaxies to choose from, 

With countless number of stars,
I would always look for that bright blue dot, that's my home, that's where you are.

No easy feat

This is no easy feat :)

Knowing myself, like no one else does,
     I know how difficult I can be,
         three years with me, hence, calls for a celebration indeed.
But knowing you, like no one else does,
               I know you would want nothing for yourself.

So, I thought and I thought ..
Every morning your smile brings me the warmth of sunshine,
looking in your eyes I fall for you every time,
all the small little sacrifices came rushing to my mind,
and I was humbled and lost ..

A promise of eternal togetherness is all I can give, for a fool that I am, it might take me forever to be a man you deserve for life.

 

Wedding vows

Wedding vows and promises made, in presence of holy fire, with witness as gods and goddesses,

we took our vows and traveled back in time, recollecting most of the mantras from morning prayer we used to recite.

Amidst all the people, amidst all the noise, she spoke to me through her eyes,

I could hear the silence, I could hear that sound,

I looked at my lovely bride, all elegant, all poise,

if every feeling could be expressed in words, vows would just be infinite.

Vedic chants were echoing loud, with panditji cracking a joke every then and now,

questioning me about the rituals being followed, how, but with a smile, I got all the answers through her eyes.  

As I look back, I know not, if I'm worthy enough,

I know not, if wealth lies in austerity,

I know not, if love transcends eternity,

For all I know, you're everything that I hoped for,

your kindness, your simplicity, your caring embrace,

With you, I fight, I smile, I pray,

seven is just a number, vows are just a cliche,

Blessed I'm to have you in my life, you are my strength, my charming bride.

Wandering

Wandering in the woods, I thought to myself, 

if only love is real shouldn't fairy tales be a part of  our lives ?

Basking in the sun, still, waiting for sunshine,
every morning longing for that caring embrace like an infant clutching his mother's fingers tight,
they see the world in her eyes, they feel the happiness in her smile,
the flowers and leaves whisper to me,        
not the water, not the sun, it’s your love that gives them life.

Magic that love is, it holds all the answers within,
love is in the warmth of sunshine,
love is in that innocent smile,
love is in the words of compassion,
love is everywhere, if only you wander.   

.. after all

Years ahead of her contemporaries, blessed with powers we mortals merely dream of,
After all, too low they build who build beneath the stars.

Struggling to find that elusive half an hour, when its time for morning walk, 
Whilst we barely break into sweat, at the speed of light she jogs,
After all, how on earth can you lose so much weight, you gotta slow down time and go for a cosmic walk.

Planning for that one vacation a midst all the work can be hard,
Having fun is serious matter, for that perfect picture postcard.
But whoever needs an itinerary, when you have teleportation powers.
After all, how on earth can you be in Delhi, Gurgaon, Dalhaousie and Jaipur at the zeroth hour. 

But nestled amongst these superhuman powers is your sincerity and compassion, qualities that makes world a better place, after all.

Happy Birthday Sis .. from Bhabs and Bhai
