An evening at the bazaar

An evening at the bazaar

Blue skies speckled with clouds

Stepping out with an air of expectancy

The ride silent and cool

As we turn the corner

Fragrances of pristine roses and jasmines fill the air

People are bustling about

Different destinations in mind

Vendors call out to passers-by

Narrow alleys lead to seemingly petite shops

Loaded with a myriad collection of sarees

With shopping bags full we start homeward

Redwood

Redwood

Reaching for skies

Evergreen legendary being

Drive-through tree

Warp and weft

Of laced foliage

Oddly needs preservation

Desirable legacy ’tis

Comment is like a beacon telling you whether you are nearing the shore or heading into the deeper seas. So please do comment and show me the way! ;) :D

Tsunami

Perhaps it is a cue to the mankind that we must stop destroying our Mother Earth.

Tsunami

Thunderous waves took

So many lives

Unbelievable yet real

Nature’s fury struck

Agonizing poor, rich

Mere losses are

Indemnified, not homes

Happy sunday!! :)

Piggy Bank

Piggy bank

Pocket money

Inherited monthly

Grinning widely

Gobbling cookies

Yo-yoing happily

Brings joys

Accessed easily

No questions

Keepsake forever

Pet

When you have a pet animal you learn a lot from it. Probably that’s why it is good for children to have their own pet dogs or cats. I was 15 years old, when I brought home a puppy! :) It was a delight - the first bath, the first bowl of milk, the cardboard box which was Timmy’s house, the first time he learned to climb stairs. All are fond memories now. But I seriously don’t like it when it bites me!! :( Even then Timmy is a good dog. My best buddy who has been with me all these years! :D see I have sketched him!!

 

Pet

Piercing whines echo

Earnest eyes filled with love

Tearful when we part

Thanks for stopping by!

Poems

Since I’m writing poems all the time these days, a thought as to how or what a poem is told/presented in a poem. ;) An attempt to bring out its characteristics!! :)

Poems

Pieces forming a puzzle

Outwardly simple; inwardly intricate

Elegant and thought provoking

Memories to become fond

Synopsis of feelings inked

Father's day

Fathers day

Freedom to express, do

Anything within prescribed limits

Teaching right from wrong

Here with me, to

Explain, guide and care

Recollecting those fun weekends

Simply yearn for ol’ days

Dad, thank you for

All the joys, life

You have given me

A happy Father's day to all! :)

Court

This word “court” brings to mind a lot of things – kings, grandiose, courtyard, wooing, affairs, secrets and so on. Here is a limerick which, I’m afraid, doesn’t make too much of sense!!

Court 

Clarity is sought this very day

Out with the shady secrets, pray!

Unabashed to claim love

Release a turtle dove

Tell the world their king is gay

um.. hope this nonsensical poem brought a tiny smile on your face!! heehe.. If you have any suggestions on how to write better limericks pls give! It'd help, thanks! :)

Just do it

Sometimes you just have to go for it. Probably there will be no further opportunities. Trust your instincts and go for it! Just do it yaar! :D (yaar is a Hindi word meaning buddy) 

Just do it

Jab of reality knocks

Unveil those spectacular dreams

Say now or never

Take chance or lose

Defect your doubts, go

Onward with unshakeable spirit

Invigorate your abilities and

Trust yourself to triumph

B'bye visitor!! Rock on! ;)

Guest

Hello guest!! :) thanks for visiting!

In India, it is believed that a guest at door is like God himself at our doorstep. “Atithi devo bhava” this is in Sanskrit meaning, guest is God ! They say utmost care should be taken of the guests and their needs. But times are changing and so are perceptions.

Guests are a mixed bunch, sometimes you have so much fun with them that you do not want them to go and sometimes it is a relief when they leave. Heehe..  Here is a cheeky line by an unknown author – “Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even if you wish they were.” Rightly so sometimes, but the whole experience is rare. You get to know so many things from your visitors, be it the usage of a new appliance or interesting facts about a new landscape, language; some unknown home remedies; the art of dealing with people, life, problems, so on and so forth.

Bringing to light a guest and the effect! ;)

Guest

Good for company

Unsung at times

Exchanges gossip, gifts

Swamped when appealing

Teaches curious lessons

Hope you enjoyed reading! Cya!!

A begining

A beginning

Love leaves me a lil numb
A bit scared
A tad sad
Wanting no more
Beseeching a break
From rocky waves to a shore
Where sunshine knocks by
Where trust isn't so elusive
Pals lend a hand
For now I've grown up n out
Relegating the stalking memories
A sea of redundant emotions
Hopping from one island of isolation
To yet another rueful one
Flaring and flailing on the trial
Heading to soar up sooner or later!
