Photon on the Go

There is a girl I know, like a photon on the go
Nimble as a feather, predictable like weather!
Her personality is such, that earth gravity is not much
The earth revolves around her, around her  

She paints, She acts, She dances … are facts
An inspiration to many, perspiration to “Maharaj Shani”!
Persistent like a wave, ever giving like a flame
Like a gentle breeze she is, she is

When kids her age are getting a grip on life
She has understood the crux, like a butter thru knife  
She is a star, grabs opportunities near and far
Friends to many, chai wala, cleaning lady, security guards … so many so many

She does things Mountain Dew drinkers will dare not do
Breaks boundaries, barriers and riti riwaaz too
Everything is a story, Everything is a song
Drama runs in her blood stream from the day she was born

Where does she get all this, Maybe from her dad I guess
Maybe it is her mom, but let me not digress
Happy Birthday Dear Nithya

May God Bless you ya,


Half my age, Half my weight … but
      Double the zing, Double the grace
Great to have a friend like you … but
     Don’t go overboard with all this praise
Happy Birthday Dear Nithya

May God Bless you ya,

Search Of Love

I went in search of love
In the valleys deep
On the mountain steep
In the rivers wide
On the brook side

But she eluded me
She avoided me
I started to perceive
As all make believe

I went in search of God
In temples small
In churches tall
In prayer halls long
In conventions strong

But he eluded me
He avoided me
I started to perceive
As all make believe

I started breathing
I started singing
I started running
I started giving

I started seeing
I started feeling
I started caring
I started living

And guess who came looking for me?

Now I see love not only in
valleys deep
mountains steep....
But also on the roadside
In a beggars smile
Pending work file
Long queue near a water pump
Kids playing beside a garbage dump

Rising Pulse

Now there is beat
I'm up on my feet
Now there is a pulse
My heart is abuzz
Now there is phase
I dance or I fade
Choice is mine to take
To up the tempo or break

Knocking Doors

There are doors out there
which you need to knock
So get up each day early
before your alarm clock

Run to the farthest corner
of your mind
Because the ways to the doors
are hidden inside

Remove the butter
and the pastries
Remove the clutter
In the arteries

There are no lifts
To propel you up
Except the mind 'pulley'
To pull the body up

So flex your muscles
Strengthen your resolve
Stairs which lead to some doors
Take you right to the mountain top

Knock and the door shall be open
Seek and you shall find
But the first door you open
Should be the one in the mind
