One day she will wake up and realize how amazing he really was.
And when that day comes, he will be waking up next to the woman who already knew.

Saw this quote on a Facebook profile. Liked it and put it up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Metaphorically speaking

My world came crashing down,
the earth crumbling under my feet.
The quaking earth just said,
I am letting crash your dreams.

I love my life I said,
don't bring it down on me.
The cracking earth just said,
I am sorry but it's the fate of thee.

With tears in my mind,
and solitude on me.
I decided to use my strength now,
to build my world as it had been.

But things are different now,
it may never be the same.
Coz I have lost something so very dear,
that treasure which can none replace.

But life so has to move ahead,
you can't just cling on to the past.
It will come back again to you,
if it was truly meant to last.

Some day if the earth realized,
how vain it had then been.
It may just bring back those happy days,
like they were forever meant to be.

I will wait till then,
with some hope alive.
Just hoping that the earth realize,
before those sweet memories have long gone by.

Morning Dreams

Just today I saw you, walk into my dreams.
Dreams that had so long back, deserted my sleep.

My dreams are the reflection, of things that I long for.
That part of life I wanted, which was so near but so far.

I wake up to reality, to realize it's just a dream.
But this is what I want now, to persist beyond that sleep.

The hope that I can be with you, again if I close my eyes.
Makes me want those moments, when sleep just cometh by.

I want those lovely moments, which now just lie in my dreams.
To be there in reality, by my side till eternity.

The knowledge that quite so often, my dreams have turned to be real.
Feels like the light which people say, is the brighter end of the tunnel.

Heartbreak

I don't regret that I loved you,
(B)Coz loved you really I did.
But sad that it ever hurt you,
(B)Coz I din't mean it for such a sin.

Why sad I was I asked me?
I don't know what happened said myself.
(B)Coz I hadn't said a word to her still,
Was so sharp my very silence.

I would have understood,
if you would have torn it in front of me.
My letter of love after I gave you,
but you never let that happen to me.

The last day when I was leaving,
to go away from she.
I said maybe I should wish her,
the best life without me.

I thank the lord that she smiled then,
and took the burden off my heart.
To see that she was happy,
that my heart would not fall apart.

I am happy that she is happy,
not angry as she had been.
(B)Coz it hurts when I see my love,
in pain because of me.

Salsa means so much more to me,
when I dance with you.
It makes my heart beat faster,
as I get lost in you.

That awesome chemistry you have,
seems to be so great.
It sets me so on fire,
like spirit put to flame.

While all of this is happening,
when you look into my eyes.
It makes my heart miss a beat,
with a rush of blood after that.

Every time you do this,
it feels so very special.
I don't know how to describe it,
it just feels like "HEAVEN" .

When I am on the dance floor,
grooving to the salsa beats.
It makes me lose my worries,
it makes me feel so free.

As the time goes by,
I feel like in a trance.
Just put on the music,
and I am sure you'll see me dance.

It's so like an addiction,
to be there on the dance floor.
To learn those sexy moves,
and mix them all anew.

Definition of Love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

प्रेमाची कधी करता व्याख्या
विचार किती हे दाटून येती ।
प्रेमाचे ते नाजुक पैलू
नात्यां बरोबर किती बदलत जाती ।

आई चे ते प्रेम निराळे
किती निखळ आणी निःस्वार्थी ।
करे कधी न भेदभाव ती
अपल्याचा लेकरांच्या मध् ती ।

वडिलांच्या प्रेमात दिसते
जरी वर वरुण कठोरता ।
लावाया असते ती शिस्त आपणा
असते ती आपल्या भल्या करता ।

जिवलग मित्रांच्या मैत्रितल्य
जुळतात जय प्रेमाच्या तारा ।
राहतात त्या सोबत आपल्या
जीवनातल्या उन सवाली च्या वेळा ।

प्रेम अपुल्या जीवन सोबत्य वरचे
राहते ते आपल्या जीवन अंता परेन्त ।
बसले असते ते पूर्ण पणे
विशवास अणि समजुती च्याच पाया वर ।

प्रेमाची हे निराळी रूपे
देतात अर्थ ह्या जीवनासी ।
बनतात हे आधार स्तम्भा
सार्थक जीवन हे बनवण्या साठी ।

1 year @ TechM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is inspired by the thoughts and feelings which
I had after completing a year @ my first company
Tech Mahindra. About the many good friends that
I made here and the good times that we spent together.
A feeling of togetherness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

एक साल जिंदगी का
येह कैसा गुजर गया ।
वक्त नहीं महीनों में
पर जैसे एक लम्हा बीत गया ।

आप लोगों से मुलाक़ात हुई
जिंदगी में कोई नया शामिल हुआ ।
मिल गई कुछ मीठी यादें
साथी कोई नया मिला ।

जुट गई कुछ यादें ऐसी
जिंदगी भर के लिए ।
वोह साथ बिताये हुए लम्हें
खुशियों से भरे हुए ।

येह दोस्ती हम निभाएंगे
ना कभी भुलायेंगे इसे ।
बना देंगे हम इन्हें
धागे मजबूत रिश्तों के ।

मन की एक शायरी

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

मोहब्बत कभी सोच के नहीं हो़ती
वोह तोह यूँही बेवक्त हो जाती है ।
मिल जाता है जभ कोई ऐसा
जिसकी हर अदा अपने मन को भा जाती है ।

इस मोहब्बत और सच्चे प्यार में
मगर एक बड़ा फासला है
मोहब्बत हमें प्यारी अदाओं से होती है
प्यार तोह खामियों के बावजूत भी बढ़ता है ।

To ~ MY LOVE
**********************************************************

What we call "A day of LOVE..."
I don't this that's right.
Shouldn't LOVE be eternal.
A part of our daily lives

If your love is real,
you do not need a day.
To tell your loved ones that you care,
you should do that every day.

LOVE is a real feeling,
which shows through what you do.
You don't need no roses or gifts,
to make someone now it's true.

It's not 14th Feb today,
but just an ordinary day.
But I think it's just perfect,
to say what I just wanna say.

I just wanna tell you now,
what I feel for YOU.
I know it's LOVE for sure,
that I wanna always be with you.

Here's what I want to say to YOU now,
it's those 3 important words.
Which could mean the difference in our lives,
and those are

" I LOVE YOU "

जैसे तुम हो मेरे लिए

तुज्हे देख के यूँ लगता है मुझे ,
क्या देख रहा हूँ मैं सपना ।
क्योंकि सपनों सी है तुम भी हसीन ,
जैसे कोई परी इस जहाँ में बसी ।

लगती है मुझे तू उस कली की तरह
है जो तरसती खिलने के लिए ।
क्योंकि चाहती है वोह मेह्काना ,
अपनी खुशबू से ये सारा जहाँ ।

प्यार में तेरे वोह खो जाता ,
जो देखता तुझे बस एक नज़र ।
दीवाने तेरे है बहोत यहाँ ,
तू है ऐसी जिसे चाहे जहाँ ।

जो जाने तुझे वोह जाने ये भी ,
खुबसूरत है तू , पर है तू अलग ,
नखरेल नही , है तू सीधी सरल ।
ना चल न कपट है तेरे मन में ,
बस प्यार है वहां सभी के लिए ।

जो मन में तेरे है वोह केह देना ,
तेरी यही बात ने किया मुझे तुज्ह पे फिदा ।

चाहती है तू सभी जान ले ये ,
क्या पसंद है तुज्हे , हर व्यक्ति में ।
इसी लिए तू वोह केह देती ,
जो बात है तेरे मन में रहती ।

अभ लगता है मुझे शायद तू है वही ,
जिसे मैं चाहूं जीवनभर के लिए ।
क्युंकी है तू अलग, सबसे ही जुदा,
मेरे लिये, तू मेरे लिये ।

Whenever I see you,
I wonder if I am dreaming.
Coz you are just as beautiful, as those sweet dreams,
like a gorgeous fairy, who has come to me.

You are for me like that rose bud,
which is eager, to open to the day.
Coz she wants to spread her sweetest scents
and fill this small world with her a soothing fragrance.

He would fall in love,
who'd see you once, just once who'd get a glance of you.
There are many here, who are mad about you.
You are like that, anyone would fall for you.

Those who know you, know also this.
You are so beautiful, but so very different.
You throw no tantrums and are so very simple.
You are clean at heart, never wish wrong of others,
there's just love there for everyone.

The thing about you, which I have fell for.
Is the very frankness that you have in you.
Your thoughts and words are so in sync,
That is what I so love in you.

I know you are so,
for you have your own reasons.
Coz you want others to know,
what you really like and hate in people.

I feel this now, that you are the one.
Whom I would love to love my entire life.
Coz you are so different, so very unique.
for me, just for me.

पानी फवारो, रंग उडाओ
एक दूसरे पर ।
मौज मनाओ, खुशी मनाओ
आज के अवसर पर ।

होली है रंगों से ,
लोगों की खुशियों से ।
इस में आज हम खुलकर झूमें ,
एक साथ होके ।

रंगों का त्यौहार है ये ,
जो हमको है सिखाता ।
खुशी फैलती सभी दिशा में ,
अगर हो विविधता में एकता ।

मिलकर आज करें हम प्रण ,
सबको साथ लाने का ,
इस दुनिया को एक नई और अच्छी
जगह बनाने का ।

जळणारी ती ज्योत विझवते सारा अंधकार ।
दिसत नही जळतांना वात आतली
दिसतो तो फक्त ज्योतीचा प्रकाश ।

आयुष्याचे पण तसेच असते
नाही फरक फार ।
दिसत नही जळतांना व्यक्ति
दिसतो तो फक्त त्याच्या यशाचा प्रकाश ।

The flame that burns in the dark
removes the blackness around.
You don't see the wick inside burning,
but just the bright light of the flame.

Life is also so much like that,
there's not much difference you see.
It's your success that everyone sees around,
not the person burning inside who achieves.

पाहता तुला वाटे असे
आहेस का तू खरच इथे ।
का पाहतो मी स्वप्न आहे
जागत्या डोळ्यांनी हे ।

तू असतांना बरोबर माझ्या
वाटे जणू ही वेळ धावे ।
आवडे माला तर साथ तुझी
वाटे असे की तू जवळ असावे ।

का मला वाटते असे
हे मलाच माझे कळत नाही ।
सांगशिल का तू मला
ही ओढ तुझी का मज वाटते आहे ।

Whenever I see you, I begin to wonder.
If you are really here.
Or am I seeing some rosy dream.
With my eyes wide awake and open.

When there are times, that you are with me.
It feels as if time is running quickly by.
I cherish the times when we are together.
I wish always for you to be mine.

Why I feels so,
I myself cannot understand.
Can you please tell me why,
I am so attracted to you.
