Once a humble abode, in the open expanse
Breathing easy, simple and steady.
With time my evolution progressed
Prosperity defined my makeover
Taking gigantic strides, standing tall,
I have now reached for the skies.
Labelled the pioneer and trendsetter,
All from my clan followed my path,
Now, surrounded and stifled all around
Alas, I once again long for the open expanse!!

The corner is such an interesting place. It’s not an end but a bend !
Never give up! You never know what is round the corner!
Life continues to amaze us at every corner, opening new avenues!
The corner may just be your comfort zone to curl up with a book or a quiet place to reflect in solitude.
Fill in the corner of your mind with all that you love to do!
Finally let peace prevail in every corner of the world!
Life is a journey we all undertake. It is entirely up to us how we travel this journey. Each of us have to chart out our own course and decide the speed at which we move ahead. It is a long drive and we are the drivers of our vehicles. We all know our destination. But how we want to reach there is entirely up to us.
Do you have a plan chalked out? In this journey of life, what type of a driver are you?
1. You have studied the route, the terrain, installed a Gps . You have gone through the checklist multiple times to make sure you haven’t missed out on anything.
2. You are a take it easy driver who is not a planning freak. You would want to savour the beauty of the natural surroundings, drive along, make a pit stop to experience something new, enjoying every moment of that journey. You may ask for directions if you are lost or probably give a lift to someone enroute.
3. You just get into the car …..thrilled to be at the driver’s seat wanting to race ahead of all others on the way. You are focussed to emerge the numero uno!
Waiting to hear from you all! Have a safe drive and enjoy your journey!

Light teases its way
shadows illusionary
clash of eye and mind
a figment of fantasy
or concrete reality?

In response to Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge # 47 – Shadow & Light
On a quest I set out
to find the elusive
without an idea
in which direction to head!
I see myself in the mirror
but know not who resides within me
his voice I do hear often
but know not how he looks!
I hear him at times so loud and clear
while at times just a careless whisper
His blessings clear my path clean
while at times warns to tread with caution!
I try to call out to him
but never shows himself
yet never lets my belief down
when the surrender is complete!
Intricate, delicate or simple
patterns on accessories
aesthetically vintage or
elegantly modern
marvel the craftsmanship of
the goldsmith who with his
magical hands turns a lump of metal
to an exquisite piece , glittering
studded with precious stones
waiting to adorn the body
of a beautiful woman!
Differentiating between
religion, caste and colour
obliterating lessons of humanity
creating islands for himself
by the boundaries of
trivial and mindless demarcations,
drawn by the imbecilic humans,
lost in the wave of animosity
drowning love in its intensity!
But ,
I hope, our soul awakens
from the ignorant slumber
to ignite a fine ray of hope
to end this apathy
and redefine the ambit
to include brotherhood
and to leave a legacy
of a country endowed
with life without territories!
The order of life
victim of nature’s fury
sheer chaos prevails!
In response to TJ’s haiku challenge – Chaos & Order
The five elements of earth create a perfect symphony. Air, water, fire, earth and ether all play their parts to perfection in the nature’s musical orchestra. Their tempos vary depending on their moods. At times they are gentle and soft caressing the soul to a tranquil bliss. But when nature’s ire is provoked, it unleashes a tempest, the sound of which sends shivers down the entire mankind.
Let’s respect nature’s benevolence and enjoy its soulful and rejuvenating musical show!
