The Silhouette...

You lay naked in your glory,
Underneath the deep blue skies
And the ever summer sun
Flaunting your golden red skin...

The wind carries your fragrance
And sings the tales of romance...
Your mystic eyes could never be veiled,
So enchanting and alluring...

Men come from far away places
Trying to conquer you in their pride
Forgetting of your illusions
That makes believe they have won...

You remind me of time immortal,
Which like you, changes
For a moment, you are oh! so near,
The very next, you are gone...



Hmmm, like i was telling some of my friends, you got to experience this feeling at least once in a lifetime...the feeling of sand underneath your feet, feel the breeze on your face, listen to the song it sings...the sound of the wind through the gentle sand blowing off form the tip of the dunes...haaa, am in love...

I always used to feel this way whenever i read an author describing the deserts...recently i got a chance to live it. Was on my way to Riyadh on the fateful day when India played Pakistan in the semi-finals (yeah i missed it!! Don’t dare mention it in the comments...). And its a 450km drive with most part of the highway in midst of a desert...i was lost...in its beauty...watching the dunes, and knowing that on my way back, they wouldn’t be here anymore...imagine witnessing a landscape that is unique every moment..the winds blow the sand from the dunes and that is how they move...i am surely hooked with this enchantress of Arabia...and for that reason alone i can forgive them the miseries they have put me into...[ before your imaginations run wild, let me tell you, its only that there are no women (and alocohol!!!) around...(hey Chhori, am not cheating on you, its just that i appreciate beauty.. ;-) )]

Ok friends, about this post, well i tried my hand at writing a song this time...and the reason behind it is, there is this one song Someday By John Legend from August Rush which i just happen to love...and i listen to it n no of times in a day. So the last time when i was listening to it, i had these words forming in me...


The dreams we saw,
N promises made,
Were for us,
To live together...

Now am left alone,
I don’t know how it happened,
Just moments before,
You, were here...
The words were true,
Now am left alone...

But i still remember
The sweet scent of your touch
And i can never forget
The taste of your lips, on mine...

So i choose to walk alone...
Be alone and finish wats left undone...
To keep our worlds together,
Be together..
With you forever....



When you read these lines, i just want you all to keep that tune playing in your mind....thanks...

dedicated, as always,
to you love....

I wanna feel you tonight,
and just dance in this moonlight...

Kiss your lips,
hold you close,
just sing it to you,
any song that you chose...

Walk in the rain,
with my arms around your waist,
just love you baby,
coz' thats what i know best...

i still wanna feel you tonight,
and dance, even without the moonlight...

we humans salviate,
never really care
whats right or wrong...

ignorant in our hunger,
we forget
what goes away, comes along...

life comes crawling down,
the wounds never heal
n the numb never gone...

it seeps through our soul,
innocent hearts, if not god
death have mercy upon...


p.s. - what really inspired me to write this one is a video by "Dream Theatre"

the music is so perfect...it so beautifully describes pain suffering, the silence that follows after the destrcution...

If music were words,
this is the best speech i have heard...

It’s the final goodbye,
Its time to leave you tonight…

You give love,
To all who ask,
they sing of you,
In their glory, you bask…

They sing of the days,
They sing of the nights,
They sing of every moment,
Spent in your sweet embrace…

You hold them in love,
You share their pain,
You bleed with their wounds,
Yet in silence, you pray…

I live in your kindness,
I wish to die the same way,
But time is a journey,
It takes me far away…

The day my journey ends,
I will be back with you my love,
Till then, it’s the final goodbye,


p.s. - its an ode to Mumbai...my love...from the time i can think of, i have been hopelessly in love with this city...will be parting ways from this sweetheart soon...i just pray i find it so when i return...
i wanted to write a long post about what it means to me, may be one day i will, till then, here is Mumbai...
(The image is googled)

My life is blank,
And so are my verses,
You were the words,
That coloured my canvas…

They ask me to sing,
Few many a lines of praises,
I filled them with you,
The only song in my senses…

I painted my feelings,
And they taunt me to write,
I pen down my tears,
Yet another day, I fight…

Walking towards the darkness,
That haunts my way,
Searching for the alleys,
Where you, my precious lay…



For you,
your silhouette...

p.s.- friends, i remember i promised to post a happy song before valentine, but the past few days weren't one of the best...

Well, to be honest...am happy to get this...More than the award, its the feel to know that there are people out there who like your writings, the appreciation, it motivates us to come out with better stuff...




So, let me start by thanking the wonderful person who passed along this award to me. Meher, thanks gal...She posts her wonderful writings on two different blogs, namely
i. Translucid Graffiti.
Here you would find ramblings that are turbulent at times, but yet packed with emotions.
ii.Tryst with newness.
And in this, you would find the posts more thought oriented and refined. Serious writings.

Ok, now comes the part where i am supposed to share se7en things about myself...

1. For me, my friends come above everything else. They are my first priorities.
2. The only colours i like are 'black' & 'white'
3. I love tea, but am addicted to sugarless espressos..
4. My name is a gift from her, so is my email id. so literally, i am her silhouette...
5. i am comfortable in my loneliness and pain. But i am happy in life. there are regrets, but i have moved ahead from my past...
6. i have been in a bar at 3am, which eventually was raided by the police.
7. i am one of the laziest persons around. i skip lunch if Mom isnt around to serve it for me...


I would like to pass on this award to,
