Heart Touching.

I was a just-born and she was Twenty-Five,
Though we were we, we were one.
I would cry out in Latin and she would respond in Greek,
I would learn nothing but she never got tired to teach.

I was surrounded by monsters eager to pull my cheek,
but they would vanish the moment I was wet and weep.
She would come running and hold me in her arms,
as if I had won the contest of the charms.

Now I was able to walk and chew,
and hey, I was two.
I and she could now understand each other,
I was her everything and she needed no other

I would try to walk and fall down,
But knowing she was with me,
the fear of getting hurt was now gone.
We still could not converse that effectively,
But she would understand my needs so easily.

I could now roam about free,
because now I have turned three.
I was ready to join a new world,
my academic life was now gonna mould.

She would dress me as best as a prince,
but when I would come back,
she would need at least an hour to rinse.
I was now able to talk,
I was a ferry and she was my dock.

I still remember the child, whose shirt I had tore,
Hey buddy, I have turned four.
I now came home a little late,
Nevertheless finding her waiting at the gate.
She would hug me and carry me in her arms,
it felt like flying through the farms.
We now did the homework together,
I would spoil the home and she used to work.

Years passed and now I was fifteen,
and with each year I would forget to lean.
I wouldn't care for what she said,
because now I had become mean.
She would ask me to study for a good future,
but I was busy in a different culture.
Now I had many shes in my life,
I dreamed of having one of them as my wife.

I changed a lot which she did not teach,
She would try to hug me but I was out of reach.
She still waited for me at the gate,
but I would look at her with utmost hate.
She would be awake till late in the night,
because I wasn't home, I was in a fight.
She had so much to scold, but she never did say,
hoping to find me better the next day.
Time went on and now I am grown,
lost in the world of my own.

I and she, between us have a river,
I have left her for my career.
When I was young, for me, she sacrificed her ambitions,
but I don't care, I now have my own mission.
I am not with her now, I am in a different city,
she is so old now but I don't even pity.

She needs me now but I am nowhere to find,
in the race for appraisal, I have become blind.
In a few years from now, I will be two,
there will be in my life someone new.
Then I'll forget even to bother,
I am her son and she is my Mother.

Gone are the days

When 
The school reopened in June, 
And we settled in our new desks and benches! 

When 
We queued up in book depot, 
And got our new books and notes! 

When 
We wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, 
Yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers. 
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and 
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips! 

When 
We began drawing with crayons and evolved to 
Color pencils and finally sketch pens! 

When 
We started calculating first with tables and then with 
Clarke's tables and advanced to Calculators and computers! 

When 
We chased one another in the 
corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms 
Drenched in sweat! 

When 
we had lunch in classrooms, corridors, Playgrounds, 
under the trees and even in cycle sheds! 

When 
all the colors in the world, 
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays! 

When 
a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table, 
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons! 

When 
cricket was played with writing pads as bats, 
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls! 

When 
few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun, 
While others simply played "book cricket" in the Confines of classroom! 
Of fights but no conspiracies, 
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy! 

When 
we used to watch Live Cricket telecast, 
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks! 

Gone are the days 
Of Sports Day, 
and the annual School Day 


Gone are the days 
Of the stressful Quarterly, 
Half Yearly and Annual Exams, 
And the most enjoyed holidays after them! 

Gone are the days 
Of tenth standards, when 
We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests! 
We learnt, 
We enjoyed, 
We played, 
We won, 
We lost, 
We laughed, 
We cried, 
We fought, 
We thought. 

With so much fun in them, so many friends, 
So much experience, all this and more! 

Gone are the days 
When we used to talk for hours with our friends! 
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'! 

Gone are the days 
When we played games on the road! 
Now we Code on the road with laptop! 

Gone are the days 
When we saw stars Shining at Night! 
Now we see stars when our code doesn't Work! 

Gone are the days 
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds! 
Now we chat in chat rooms.....! 

Gone are the days 
Where we studied just to pass! 
Now we study to save our job! 

Gone are the days 
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!! 
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!! 

Gone are the days 
Where we shouted on the road! 
Now we don't shout even at home 

Gone are the days 
Where we got lectures from all! 
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!! JJJJ 

Gone are the days 
But not the memories, which will be 
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and 
Ever and ever and ever ..... 

Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!! 
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE , DONT FORGET TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS.....

The sixth tear

Night before I went to bed, 
Thoughts of you filled my troubled head. 
Though I've not cried this way in many years, 
On to my pillow fell six silent tears. 

The first was for your smile that I miss, 
And the taste of your tender lips that I long to kiss. 
The second was for your angel face, 
And the thoughts of your warm, loving embrace. 

The third comes as no surprise, 
As I thought of your beautiful, bright, loving eyes. 
After this the fourth came rolling... 
Instead of my pillow, it was you I should be holding. 

The fifth came for one reason alone... 
I felt my love for you was not fully shown. 
I really miss you, my love, my dear... 
There just fell my sixth tear.

With vinegar and brown paper.

Gently Down the stream.

Life is but a dream.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Through I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
