Au Revoir

Old faces must move as they have distances to cover
New faces will give longevity to this MSCPM River
Good bye is sad, recollecting the past
Goodbye is hard, memories are cast
From miles we came flying
Enjoyed togetherness with playing
Time flew bye, the year elapsed
Time for goodbye, Moments will be cherished
My hearty wishes to the hunters
Pray for merriness around us the punters
Farewell is beautiful, a glimpse into the future
Farewell is wonderful, it sets for adventure

HAT

The hats we wear are many

some not worth a penny, some sweet as honey,

some spreading smiles, some covering stormy miles,

The hats we wear are many

Other night,

wind and lust conspired

taking the dear one down the drain

breeze and silence whispered

initially telling my dear one's pain

and then,

signaling a new start, knowing your craft

wishing you luck, bags of luck

Friend remember, the hat we wear are many

Snow sshhhh

Snow in the day,
Making it a beautiful sight,
At first i start to play,
Hurling snow balls is a delight

As the winter get strong
The snow get hard
The winds get it wrong
Even lips and skin get cracked

Shsh the white carpet is ready
I don't fancy the walk
Work awaits me today
I pray for a snow break

Snow snow go away
I am no Eskimo
Sun please make your way
I had enough of snow

PAIN

PAIN - What is it ?

Is it an absence of happiness or presence of sadness ?

Is it knowing something you wouldn't want to hear - breaking the shell that clouds your own understanding of you ?

Is it someone ripping you naked to baking sun ?

Is it one of those seasons to your heart like the winter to trees ?

Is it a self-chosen present to keep the balance of emotions ?

Is it the bitter fruit that you taste ?

What ever be the case....you are not alone all this time, there is a guiding hand in the form of relatives, friends, love, parents. For those who are far away from all have memories of their loved ones to reflect on, the silence with God and inner-self.

For this is a gift by him, though heavy and hard, a gift to know yourselves better.

I wish !

I wish I wish I wish....

You make me feel special,
You make me feel new,
You make me feel loved,
You make me feel wanted.

I love the way you kiss me,
I love the way you touch me,
I love the way you hug me,
I love the way you complete me.

I wish i could say this,
I wish i would experience this,
I wish..I wish...I wish !!

To be NRI's/Today's Dogs

Should I call this a learning experience or a dog's life. I guess the latter would be appropriate - and i am one the millions dogs out trying to put up a brave face, when most in the society would look at us and sing " Who let the DOGS out........" and more and more so when the countries are rich with history and are developed, fueling their thoughts are RECESSION and CHEESE MOVING ASIA. I wouldn't blame any of my esteemed counterparts or citizens from these societies as they are just at the start of the emotional curve 'U'- Denial, Anger, Fear, Sad, Acceptance and Moving on. I only wish they have a shorter U curve -- 'Get moving or the ground beneath will be COLD'

If that is what the society is doing to me, take a look at my routine activities -- at the age of 24 i have 'mastered' the art of cooking, which my grandpa vehemently says is a womens task - no one can beat them to taste, and my dad has been struggling till now. It is my only way of survival being a vegetarian in the land where animals are grown with balanced diet. When you cook you an't far off from washing utensils either - so in a day of 24 hours i spend 2-3 hours daily on these activites. My mom has always kept technology aside when it comes to washing clothes and i am practicing it sincerely - not because i am comfortable with it, but "Paisa karvatha hain" - Every weekend i slog and slog half my day trying to get rid of dirt. The rest of the weekend, but for partying time :- Party culture of these people and drinking a wine at every possible opportunity is something that keeps you goings. "Pecks with pegs" -- It took me a semester to learn - not the hand but the face should go take the lead when it comes to socializing - a telugu saying put its rightly "Dog made to do takeover Lion's throne will prefer to be gutter lying", i will be hooked up in the computer trying to catch up with friends and family over skype and voip respectively. And some among the millions take the pain of being in the hotels cleaning tables and dishes, taking orders - not because they love it, but "paisa sabh kuch karvatha hain".....

Every week the things remain the same, grocesary, cooking, cleaning, eagerness to meet some one special in parties (with no luck as usual) and 'glorifying' to parents and friends about life here ! Life moves on and soon the loyal one will be recognized - NRI they become, at least 70% of them succeed. Abroad - student life -- It was choice made and a chance taken :D
