MAILS


This is the story of a room
Buzzing with activity each day.
Mails flew in, Mails flew out.
Others – stacked like hay!

Some mails were good, others bad.
And when there was a conflict,
the room went sad.
The mean ones were plenty-
found everywhere.
Overpowered the good ones-caused despair!

Mailboxes lined the door
‘Today’ overflowed,’ Past’ was overburdened.
‘Future’ held the dreams; some undelivered
many left unopened.
‘Hope’ though kept asking for more
This made it a healthy room for sure!

And then the Storm arrived in town
The mails fluttered in grief;
The Door shut, the Windows vanished
No sign of hope or relief!
No helping hand, no place to go,
No long lost love, no one they know.


However, the season changed soon
Happy mails buzzed in the room!
The sun shone, the flowers bloomed.
Music sailed, the angels danced.
Rainbows smiled, reindeers pranced.
Every mail was stamped with a smile
An extra letter, takes you the extra mile!


The room lies still now
Peaceful walls, so serene
Beautiful picture of every changing scene
Mails are all silent, for isn’t
“Well done better than well said?”
In case you wondered…….

The room is in my head!


p.s: I had written this one in the second year of engineering degree. Found it hidden somewhere in my closet and here it is!

Thy Majesty - The Mountains

Recently, I struck an important point off my bucket list. I visited the mystical lands of Leh-Ladakh which encompasses the north-most part of India. Off late this place has become a hot tourist destination. So much, that probably it is very fashionable to visit Ladakh these days. Or maybe, not. I would like to share my experience with everyone so that they know what to expect and most importantly, what not to expect out of this place. We had an 8 day trip to Leh. We met many people on our way, forged new friendships and enjoyed our time there.We visited Leh in the end of May which is probably the beginning of summer( in other words: start of the peak season) in that place. Having said this, the weather was not very warm over there. Temperatures stayed low and you required your thermals, jackets et all. The sun rays beat down on us during the day. The open skies and elevated heights did not help much either. We witnessed a contrasting play of nature at work as the cold ...

Moonlight Dance..

The two kids floated in the air. Spinning around the moon. Tiny figures bobbing, to a playful tune. She said she'd make a dress, from the fine threads of the moonlight. All he wanted to do, was swing on it. In circles, they bickered. Holding their stance. And spent all night, in a moonlight dance. -Merci

Sunsets

What do you prefer? Sunsets or Sunrise? I prefer sunrises. Though I can never wake up on time to see them. Yet, I prefer sunrises. You know what's the problem with sunsets? They can be enjoyed only when the sun is very far far away from you . Okay, you may laugh at that line now. The sun is many light years away from us anyway, right? But what I mean here is the horizon is far away from you. For example if you sat by the sea and watched the sun set, you could only enjoy it when it starts to dip and before that all you did was get burnt by the rays relentlessly falling on your face. But when you're sitting on a hill the horizon seems further away and the sunset can be enjoyed more. Or maybe on a fort. Which reminds me how I want to go to Udaipur and watch a sunset from atop a palace. This also brings me to a fact that ever since my last trip I haven't had a craving or need to travel anywhere else. It was more or less like Nirvana. I have recently started on a new vent...
