My blog buddies, you are all tagged! It’s a fun thing, these tags. I often go down in a slumber and every time I take one of these, I wake up somewhat to life:-))))
Here’s your chance… go for it:-)

So long…

It’s so tough for me to say Goodbyes. It’s painful!
It feels horrible to have things that make up your world , go away.
And it hurts to see them hurt.

My car got bashed last night. It's almost died.

Thank you for being SO SO wonderful to me and being with me all these years!

Raindrops keep falling on my head:-)

Delhi feels nice. It has been raining! And I am in love with those tiny droplets falling straight form the heavens and spreading ripples of love and joy. It’s beautiful! The pitter-patter and the sweet chill that makes you want to snuggle up to someone in your quilt and gaze out at the rain from your window.

The other day at Dilli Haat, I wanted to hold an umbrella and move around in the rain and enjoy the fresh downpour. I wanted to jump into puddles and send water splashing at my friends. I wanted to run around in the fresh breeze and be chased by them for dirtying their clothes. But I was made to stand under a shed like a louse and sip that hot coffee so that I don’t fall sick. How very boring! :(((

I know winters are still on, but what the heck! I love it when it pours:-)))))

Shine on YOU crazy diamond :-)

Nopes, I am not going to be writing about this track by Pink Floyd:D
Though it does kinda remind me of someone I quite like:ppp. But that could wait for now:D

There are other things to be written about. And here I am with absolutely NO TIME!!! :(

I am SO dying to say, SHINE ON you crazy Diamond:-)
We are back in business and I want you to know, I love you:-)

More later...

My dreams are dead!

I think I killed them,
Or maybe they died a natural death.
Did they commit suicide?
Perhaps!

I search within,
Not a sight
Nor a word from them.

I am glad they are dead,
Those demons!
Some were beautiful.

Life is a wonderfulcoaster!

(Wrote this few months ago, but this seems to be the appropriate time to post it. And here it goes... )

I always thought my life was incomplete and something was amiss. I was always searching….searching for a purpose, a reason, perhaps to live, love or die.

I did not know that the real joy lies in holding the reins of your life in your own hands. We just revel in being swayed by the flow of the stream where it takes us and believe that is our destiny.

Not doing anything about our incompleteness and the voids that exist……we turn into these vulnerable beings; anyone can fill the voids with their truth and their lies, with real and illusions of eternal love, bonding and life.

Ignorance vanishes when knowledge arrives.
And when it does…..it takes you by a serious surprise!!!

Well, it’s important to let go, to let loose, to free all that binds you and your soul!

There will be spaces, but you must learn to fill them up quickly. It’s important to be in constant motion. We need to end the cycles that we are done with, to start new beginnings that give us bigger lessons and even greater joys.

Life is an experience and we are set out on a journey......everything that goes by, is a means to an end.

But nah....there is no end....there is just you!!! And you are the end!

And to all you wonderful ends..... I wish you great beginnings, new lessons, happier times and wonderful new joys :-)

God bless:-)

Intoxicate me, anyone?

We humans are naturally transparent.
We can dive into one another,
And grab hold of every single emotion that dwells in there.
Trust me... we can! We really can!
Or better, why not try it out for yourself. It works!
The challenge comes when we become hell bent on making chameleons of ourselves!
Colors are juggled so often that neither you nor they can remember their true identity.

I change often too.
In fact, I move to and fro.
I revel amidst many a psychedelic flights,
And then when I am bored,
I silently set myself on an inner quest.

And while I am oscillating from one end to the other,
En route I experience enough.
The colors around dazzle and charm me,
And I fall into the trap,
It’s so easy at times…
My vision blurs ,
And many a times I merge with a multitude of colors.
I even try to adorn what I like,
And then I discover the layers,
Some are meant for delusion,
Some are just there!
