LOVE:: A JOURNEY!!















[care for your loved ones, for u may not be with them the next moment]






Love:: a journey!!










What is love,
a waste of time,
Thought so, when i was nine.
Stupid romantic movies i saw,
that had many a flaw.
But then, aged twelve i saw,
a beautiful maiden,
so elegant and tall,
so beautiful, so much like a doll.

That made me wonder,
it made me ponder,
Am i in love?

I was eighteen ,and when dad would speak,
all i felt, was to shout and shriek,
for, a stern military voice he had
i thought, being in love, is it so bad?
Running, i went to my mother ,
but she didn't even bother.
no one cared,
no one listened,

Drenched in pain,
Tried to convince them what love is,
But in vain, yet again...

Years had passed,
i had turned twenty five, last month,
and about to take a vow,
the same girl that she had been,
since, at the age of twelve, i had seen,
was now my bride-to-be..

Sometimes in life, u burn,
but destiny always takes a nice turn,
that makes life so full of fun.
smitten by her, now about to marry,
why was i in such a hurry?
a moment of pride,
a moment of joy,
a moment of desire,
a moment of satisfaction,

That made me wonder,

It made me ponder,

what true love is, yet again...

Thirty-five years had gone,
Lovely days they had surely been,
contented i sure was,
For i had lived life the way i could,
Did all stuff that i could,until...
for the last time, i saw my love,
with my eyes about to lose light forever,
There she was,
Praying with all her might,
so that i can see her day and night,
to defeat death,the god of fear and fright.

About to die, i saw,
a tear rolling down her cheeks,
Looking at her, i could realize,
Down the memory lane i could see,
things that i would miss,
from the first to the last kiss,
I wanted to stay with her forever,

That made me wonder,
it made me ponder,
What true love is,yet again...........

    This one's really good. Though the title could have been less melodramatic.

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid

YOU HAVE ENRICHED MY LIFE!!

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r
