Beating Hearts
Whispered softly
Heard clearly
By the loved ones
Silence unspoken
Familial or familiar
It’s the beating hearts
Over the distance
Together In silence
After a long time spoke with my  friend,
she and I were closest friends:)
We live in different time zones now,
and conversations sometimes can get limited!!

November
Early morning fog
Winter smiles through the curtains
Dew on the flowers
The mornings are most pleasant around this time!
Finally winter smiles :))

Thank you so much, RK( Rita)
For the sunshine for my simple thoughts here :)

Memories
It’s been years
The  memories in the heart fresh
forever cherished and etched
Of the days when we were young responsibilities were less and being a student was fun
Friends always a phone call
Or a few doors away
When the days and evenings were carefree
Breakfast lunch dinner
Not the job to be done
Gone are the days for all
Not just for one
But isn’t that life
Change and Growth
It still shines the same in my hometown
though
And of its fondness
I can never outgrow

Listen
Being quiet
Is not quite, quiet
Thoughts aloud
Listening to self

The little ants
Quiet to our ears
Synchronised foot steps
Raising a food ball

Quite lay the balloon
Inflated, all ballooning
A *****, burst into pieces
And the shrillest cry

All quite, quiet
Until awoken, shaken
The inner being
Your voice

Simply try
Winning and Losing
Are moments
Sometimes
Just moments apart

Trying are the times
And try we must
To put in our best efforts

Failures
Lures one, for more trials
And a desire to reach goals
Success

Dark Leaves
Unearthly hours
Cool breeze makes it beautiful
Green leaves glow and softly shine
Under the streetlight fluorescent white
Grey clouds and the crescent moon
Hum along with the tender leaves
They shimmer and shine, bend and sway gracefully in every way
Shadows on the pavement and the white plastered walls as the leaves softly dance
A beauty in the dark

Bhai Dooj
There is something special about your parental home
Folks waiting at the door, for your arrival
A warm welcome and hugs
Siblings cousins nephews and nieces
The love and smiles
And the chatter
Makes your heart come alive
On a visit to my parents home
Bhaiya Dooj, a festival celebrated during Diwali, it marks the special bond between brothers and sisters (siblings and cousins)

The Birds
The cuckoo with its red beaded eyes feasted upon the red seeds from the champaka tree
While the crow waited for its turn
A couple of parrots
And  baby mynahs too
All of them live in peace and harmony
Sharing from the same tree

Happy Diwali - 2019

The Sun, misses shining bright in the clouds
Mellow, it smiles with the balmy breeze

Rain has been dancing for long in the whole town

Stars can’t shine in the night sky
The rain does its favourite ‘Tandav dance’

They never seem to be out of harmony

The  earth, wet and damp
Mother Nature teaches us to accept and walk towards happiness, nevertheless

Light up the earthen lamp and hoist the lantern in the cloudy sky
The stars underneath  brim with golden smiles

Diwali is the magical time to spend with the loved ones and feel blessed
To enjoy the festivities with spirits up and bright

Happy Diwali

Words Alive
Long long ago, i used to think
Words hung on the trees,
along with the leaves
To handpick them and use, as and when
easy, it would be

Drenched in the storms of my anger
The words grew bitter and brittle
The winds blew away the right ones
Harder i tried, farther they flew
Left with few and later none
Lost I did feel, with not a word
that could heal

Rooted in me
The words
They were always there
Took me a while
To finally find

Weathering all storms
Calming the seas
Bearing the fruits
The words alive
Sweetened and pruned
To anger, immune
Very old thoughts, found words, alive

Rain rain go away
It’s October
And, you are still here
You can’t always love
What you love

Pack your clouds, retreat
There is a time and place
You have rained, pretty
And showed us the rainbow too

Let winter take over
I so love her too
It’s beautiful and has lovely grace

Soon, we are to welcome Diwali
Light  up the diyas and wear festive dress
Decorate the yards with colourful rangoli
We need pleasant weather and light breeze

Rain rain go away
Please, pack your clouds, retreat
There is a time and place
You have over stayed
See you again, next year
A plea!!

Complex
Red is the colour of blood and passion
Raw enchanting, ruthless, cuts and colours deep

Simple interests
Complex values, evaluation
Desired profits
Loss of interests
Principal principles lost

Many colours in life
Not all chosen by you
Some you dabble with
Give you permanent stains and crimson tears
Behind the crimson tears’ - by Avisek Prasad

Today it’s been three years, since I first penned my thoughts
To this day, it remains special
Thoughts and words
Happy and sad
Reasons and none
Expressing them all
Happy to have found a place to share them too
Gratitude
Thank you all!!

Soul Purpose

The good and the bad, we have it all

Riddled by insecurities, the good escapes

The mask of duplicity, beguiles the stray

Lacking in empathy, losing every way

Sheer, is the veil of the soul, free flowing

Embellished with the goodness of love

Let it shine & let it glow

Be at peace

Never let it go

Chony and Mony
Chony and Mony
Butterflies, yellow and blue
Loved flowers in hues

Of the two brothers
Chony, naughty and witty
Mony, naive with innocent charm

Living every moment
Flitting and sipping
Listening to the garden song

Changing colours
A chameleon in wait
The brothers knew its taste

As it rested its colour to blue
Chony knew it right away
Momma had taught to flit past that hue

Held Mony by it’s wing
Mony knew it was a danger sign
Opposite direction, was the call

The hungry chameleon
Rolled its eyes, surmised
Time to call it a day

Hope & Faith
Making ripples in the pond
Swimming in the shallows
Swept off by the waves, into the deep sea
and back to the shore
Buoyant forces keep afloat
Hope is the float
Takes you deep, into the shallows and back to the shore
Soaring high into the skies
Float into the zero gravity door
Back to the ground
On two feet
Undying faith in self
Unleashed
Abstract thoughts

Drive Past
The trailing traffic
Too loud
Jumping signals in my mind

The music divine
Freedom is mine
Jumping signals in my mind

Darkness thins out
In broad Daylight
Jumping signals in my mind

Lost, never around
To be found
Jumping signals in my mind
Just for fun

Apple and The Lake
The apple looks down from the treetop
Marvels at the beauty of the lake which flows beside its home, the apple tree.

‘Oh how wonderful it must be to take a dip in the pristine lake and come out sparkling clean’

The lake charmed by the red delicious  apple, wondered

‘How blessed the humans must be to eat and cherish every bite of the juicy apple, sweet!’

Thoughts of the pristine lake and the apple sweet
Unheard by the deer, prancing under the tree
Star BG : Apr 2
Looked at your picture and out this came. :)

Two apples sat on window cil. Both taking in the beautiful scenery. Both using their scent to attract nostril canals to wet an appetite. Both reminding of the concept to share and take in the scenery.

Going With The Flow
Going with the flow
To show
That you don’t know

Going with the flow
Do show
When you know

Going with the flow
The right is a right and two steps more
Two left feet, know not anymore

Going with the flow
Preach not
Learn your lessons well
Teach by practice
Maybe
Someone learns it too

Many Days
Many days
And the thoughts lay scattered
Never alone, lost, too shy
The words jingle jangle
Sometimes loudly chattered

Many days
Busier than busy
Dizzier than dizzy
Happier than happy
Testing capabilities
Fulfilling Responsibilities

Many days
Work never completely done
Sleep it’s a necessity
And some fun
Walking on the Sun
Haven't posted here on HP, it's been a while and then HP wouldn't let post :))
Glad it's up and working :))
Have been listening to Inna, these days!!
Last line inspired by her song 'Walking on the sun'
Love her music.

Drift
Many emotions
Lack of solutions
The hurt and pain
Caused by you or to you
Shrouded in mystery
The pain never alone
Whom to please
Yourself or others?
What’s understood
And not
It’s no more important
Leaf out of the crowd
To the lake, a breath of fresh air
Is all it takes
To ease out the nerves
Drift  to a place of calm
peace and solitude
Within
And around
Just writing away

Nothing New
Perfection is being content in ones own world

Perfection is perceiving the cracks in the wall as a piece of art
Withered autumnal branches
Dreaming of blooms in spring

Perfection sought, to please the world
Leaves one imperfect and discontented
In this, perception oriented perfect world
Last monsoons the Champak tree
Was all abloom
The breeze lightly swayed the branches
The heady fragrance wafted through the air

The monsoon showers
this year
Wilted away the flowers
too soon

Less is more, I do believe
As the blooms wilted away too soon
Now the tree laden with fruits, ripe and red
Inviting birds of many species
Mornings are especially beautiful
Waking up to chirps and tweets
Of many a mynahs, bulbuls and
purple-yellow sunbirds

This morning as I watched them feast
To my surprise
There was, Indian grey hornbill
Beautiful and majestic as it can be

Life
Life has its own mind
Thinks and moves
In the direction that it wants
One has to keep up
Sometimes it’s difficult
But never lose hopes
Keeping it straight and strong
Come what may
Fear and regrets can both adjust
In the grand scheme of things
Health is wealth
Not just a statement to make
But to try and follow and live it up to the last mile
A few bends and turns is where one slows down
The journey worthy of being
lived
loved
enjoyed and shared

Aditya
He is quiet and confident
Always does what is right
Quite a conversationalist
When relevant

Believes in keeping to himself
In a place of unknowns
Knowledge and wisdom his strength
Diligent and optimistic an achiever in life
Simple and good at heart
Understands and complements mine

Loves romantic songs
I am just the opposite
Can’t stand any
Retro is the only station, we listen to together in the car

Has little understanding or
interest of what I write
Yet, always listens to/ reads my scribbles
Our choices and tastes opposite as can be
Not, when it comes to matters of heart
Wrote it for my spouse, Aditya, for his upcoming birthday( 6th September)

Windy Thoughts
Neither in the mustard fields
Nor on the sandy shore
Undocumented
The story lay bare

Unabated, the winds
Blew away everything that was

Heavy blanketed
The night sleeps hazy, cozy
Yet another day
Wordless
The thoughts dream
‘ न समंदर की रेत में
न सरसों के खेत में
कुछ कहानियाँ लिखी जाती है बिना दस्तावेज़ के

ना रुकी है ना रुकेंगी
ना बदलेंगी रूख
ये हवायें तेज़ है

रात की चादर ओढ़
ढल गया दिन
आज फिर  ख़याल रह गय अधूरे
शब्दों के बिन’

Wrote the above piece in Hindi first!

Last few days had been busy, yes life does that to you many times, it leads and and you follow!
