The Timeless Couple

Had a gazillion thoughts in my head, streaming and churning like millions of electrons behave in the electric current or photons do in a ray of light falling on a window-sill. I was just wondering what kind of a demise would I wish for when my time comes, when the angels of death start hovering over my dim-witted, scraggy encephala and in an instant of colossal clarity I discovered to my utmost self-pity that being the dullard that I am, I cannot venture very far from the oh so common emotion of partaking my closing moments with my soul-mate, and out of nowhere emerged a string of lines which I thus share with every single being who devotes some time to read this blog;

This poem is dedicated to all the lovelorn couples who've grown old together or who dream of doing so.
Into the sunset we venture holding hands,
Life has been wondrous and magical, full of beauty and fecund lands;
We had many a hassle, too much anguish did we endure,
Always found a remedy when there seemed to be no cure;
Scrimmaged indefinitely, had a million tiffs,
Never could part us any such trite miffs;
Well reared and apprized our nestlings flew away,
We watched in silence our empty nest, vanished in thin air our years of sway;
'Tis time now darling that we leave our lair, new order approaches behold,
But we shall be aeonian and timeless coz silver can never match gold!

dear swapna,

wots ur take on the mumbai terror scene?

my views are as under..i want u to revert..

The recent attack proved that it’s not the stupid common man who is hot favorite of terror groups, it can be the big elite, Rich & famous of South Mumbai. It’s a pity that son or daughter of any politician was not present as Taj Mahal Hotel, if they would have been this would have been a beginning of end of lethargic & myopic political games. We are a nation of thinkers, and always almost all of us have an opinion on anything be it Sachin’s 90’th ODI “FIFTY” or TATA NANO the 1 lakh ki “GADDI”. What we don’t want is bunch of classy people with their espionage and debate on ‘What we should do?’.
We as a country are in desperate need of doers and no thinkers to save this “DYEING BOMBAY"

got ur link from neil...he must be a real good friend to keep recommending your blogs :-).....neways liked your blog tho' am not a poem person..... but some comments on it....maybe you could tone down on the language a bit....sometimes it seems too contrived, some of the words and constructs are either too complex or too hip (or an attempt to be too hip)......but good try must say...frankly above average language maturity but tone down on the stuff (remember complex words only show that you have a good dictionary) and you will do great.....lots of criticism i know.... but thats the privilege of people who don't write :-)
