for my little angel

I'll be your root, oh branch out u little one.

the sky is your expanse, reach out to the sun.

spread your sunshine and I'll enjoy your shade.

time goes by yet memories dont fade.

I'll hold every falling leaf, in each a time frozen,

happy moments and some of grief .

every step u take away,the deeper I'll go,

to the heartbeats resounding of the ones before . . .

a new year

time to let go of another year i hold so close,
tender moments, some grief, no remorse.
manifold the days and the year parts,
the ticking clocks versus our beating hearts.

what tomorrow brings i yearn to see,
snuggled in my time wrap i wait with glee.
time s is a measure, should’ nt love be the gauge,
of how much i have lived and not my life in age.

each day at a time, some different some same,
our world is round, we part to meet again ! ! !

an ode to a friend . . .

a lone bird soaring high, blue expanse, miles to go. . .
you belittle the world, caged desires, all the distress before
ruling the skies on your terms, you were the queen. . .
every little task, thing or place , you have been or seen

out of reach, you a step closer to a new dream achieved. . .
boundaries recede, once a scarce life, thus fully lived
Iwatched you glide from a distance, freedom reborn. . .
suddenly you stopped, what cross road were you on,

clipped wings, to the numbness and sadness did you give in?
or a deliberate deed, a planned escapade, your choice to win
a broken link the world below, to return did you yearn. . .
the moment took you over, your mind I never will learn

the sky is still blue, extend through the length, the girth. . .
plunge into the seas, then you rest and embrace the earth
the journey will not stop, soul to soul ,us comrade or foe. . .
alas this is an ode for a dear friend no more :(

Eclipse

an eclipse can shadow the brightest sun . . .
the gloom multiplies as far you run.
so you strive for each day to shine . . .
all of body, soul and mind.

you soar high, you conquer the sky . . .
overcome each rising tide.
you battle forth, you defy and rage on . . .
brazen on each dark side.

how do the numerous thoughts cease . . .
have a momentary relief or freed release.
how do wevpass the darkest hour . . .
scattered souls like the perils afar.

you shut your eyes, you are the dark . . .
a pause and you will see the gleaming path.
like there’s peace when the storm gives way . . .
an eclipse precedes a new day.

You and Me

The night that was . . . how it began, see how far we have reached.
How many moons we have gone past and how many more to defeat.

Vast lands are all I see … our treaded years just you & me
Tough times I seem to forget, kind heart is all I recollect.

Deeds complete, Days gone by, Empathy - only time can bring
Is there a dark side or there exists no such thing.

Life is but a reflection of your self. You see what you want to.
I am truly happy and my happiness lies is in you.

Each moment better than the last. Each day becomes a delightful past.
Our tomorrow is our sweet sunshine, A Beautiful Angel - yours & mine.

Dream on

Eyes wide open, yet dreaming along . . .
Lingering moments, thoughts carry on
If I blink, what if I miss . . .
the gleam, the lustre every second brings

And when I sleep, my dreams compound . . .
Heaps and Leaps onto higher ground
From there I look down and stare . . .
my life, my world unfold out there

Introspect, retrospect, ponder the recourse . . .
all I remember is the moment the pause
The nuances galore, all the chaos within . . .
Past to present , all woven in

This weave is my life, my canvas . . .
each painted memory, all the thoughts that pass
Colors so many, beyond my eyes can see . . .
this window to my soul is my masterpiece

So dream on, start painting your course . . .
this palate of colors is all yours
Elevate your being. yours dreams will juxtapose
when you wake u, the smile in your eyes will show

The journey will end and when the time will come
Its this contentment that will let the soul go

Dream on . . .

'I want to take HERO to mumbai' pleads chotti. not a rajput boy, its our camel @ osian dunes that she's got her heart set on ;) 'how.where.what.why' asks mamasari.'But I want!! Where there's a will, there's surely a way!! Waiting for chotti to find hers - in time :)

30 October 2010

After our visit to sreenathji, mamasari asks 'what did you say to god?'.Chotti replies 'Devamai rashikane' (oh lord,protect us) It was a guruvayur meets srinath moment, krishna in his avataars and we were '2states' - both happy :)

25 October 2010

'I am the star, mama you are the sky and dada is the clouds' chotti says. Agreed she is my twinkle, 'but why is dada clouds?? asks mamasari.'He comes and goes,that's why !' the cloud had drifted north and there is a logic in comprehension. Come Home Soon n Safe dada :)

20 October 2010

Current fav tune chotti hums da-da-da-da bcos dada's around almost always. now the archaic ma-ma-ma-ma has become mm mm mute.Mamasari yet to fathom how a man in a few minutes superseeds the hours the mama puts in.This daddy's girl equations beat me.
Happy birthday,daddy,hubby,lover boyfriend,bestfriend,senior :¤

16 October 2010

The plight of a man and his roving women (in bed;). A night of sleep and he is pushed to the edge of the double bed,sleeping sideways with chotti's limb on his neck and the other limb pushing his chest. Mamasari loved the morning sight of women enpowerment :)

15 October 2010

How come u ate the cream off the biscuits?' chides mamasari, staring at the devoured cream deficits. Chotti rationalises 'I was talking to you and it went from my food pipe straight to my tummy' the voluntry confession to counter my involuntry action. Creme' de la creme, bring it on :)

13 October 2010

‎'I like only gampti dada!' asserts chotti, 'But u have to like all the gods becos they love everyone... so everone can love each other' replies mamasari. After the patient hearing and comprehension chotti rephrases 'I like gampti and his full family' Everybody's a family,near,dear,no typecast,no bar ! Peace n Love n Nine nights ;)

11 October 2010

‎'Which o'clock dada is coming?' Chotti asks. '9 o'clock' replies mamasari. 'One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, that nine 'o clock ?? Asks chotti 'Yes, that one (oops nine)!!' smiles mamasari.There can be only one nine (maybe twice on o'clock ), but I love the long road home :)

07 October 2010

As we set the cake, chotti asks 'how many yrs you are 3 or4 or 5yrs' mamasari answers 'we'll skip the 4, I am 3 and 5 yrs' ;) chotti says 'Oh,we don't have thirty five candles' so we stuck to 3, chotti happy we same same,mamasari a happy '3' indeed. Overwhelming the tons of wishes, thank you thee, FB :)

November 2010

Admist her game and non-stop chatter, chotti announces 'I want to be tall like dada not maedium (do pronounce as written!!) like mama'. Mad in a medium pack aint an idioum to describe mamasari. But such is small talk with my little wonder :)

23 November 2010

'He is coming my birthday time 10' says chotti at dinner totally aware even as mamasari wonders mumblings 'march is far away!!' chides me 'but dada said ten zero' says she. Date or time is in your hands and you make the call :) Good morning Time !!

21 November 2010

‎'Ask da, how he s feeling?' tells mamasari to chotti about their unwell counterpart. 'He's feeling better, I did magic that's why!' replies chotti. She did, donning her fairy wings and waving her magic wand :) Feeling blessed! If only we had such angels of repair in this world of despair !!

19 November,2010

Why there is a lady and not a baby??' asks chotti at the aisle displaying sanitary napkins soon after diapers. Mamasari questions the logic of having the disposables together, perhaps an easy transition to the bird n bees ;) For now mamasari replies 'it is the free mamas with diaper babies' Ya rite !! Good day :)

17 November 2010

'Its very warm food. I need something cold after that ok?' Chotti says at the food court hinting at the naturals icream stall behind us. Mamasari s heart melts n naturally so ;) and we devour the seasonal delights - sitaphal & strawberry ! Yummy mummy Yummy tummy :) twas a happy happy children s day!

14 November 2010

'Its raining ... its snoring' chotti hums at the sight of raindrops ;) not pouring rains, not chilling winters to snore either. Jumbled words match the jumbled seasons. Mamasari says 'we are lost in transition' Thumbs up to rain romance revival :) we like !!

11 November 2010

‎'Join your hands and pray' says chotti.I snap out of my mental shopping list and see goddess laxmi smiling down 'a happy diwai poster'.Mamasari n chotti bow in prayer in the thicket of people and commodities!!The exercise continues in every aisle ;) We depart blessed and lil broke.

Dessert Tales

As we traverse through the dry arid landscape, we encounter more animals than people.Chotti delights counting goats,sheeps,donkeys,cows,buffalos,hens,peacocks n deers. Mamasari says 'this is the village' and chotti replies 'No,this is Old mac donald had a farm'. Big Mac in rajasthan?? hope the nightmare stays on elm street ;)

Dessert tales

In the car,chotti starts spelling out her name 'N' na naughty 'I' ia icecream H H H - Hachachen'. Granpa(achachen) chuckles yet encourages the creative distortion ;) Phonics gets phoney and mamasari has a looney laugh :) Back home and loving it !!
