Transcending all the odds

When I tread over the green meadows,

I could sense the tender touch of wind.

It caresses over my whole body,

And, gradually, embraces my soul.

This inner state is puzzling!

Am I in a trance or is this real?

There is no stint to waste,

Every moment is exceptionally special.

I walk again, onward

holding the frills of my beautiful gown,

which, but failed to contest with,

the incredible magnificence of flora and fauna around!

I could hear the sprinkling of water,

Yes, spotted a crystal-clear spring.

I stepped into it with curiosity within,

Such a devastating feeling!

Butterflies twirl in harmony,

Trees beam in amity,

Squirrels run in seriatim,

Buds blossom in opulence.

There are hardly any cut downs,

Barely any vehemence.

Oh mother Earth, hoping wholeheartedly,

That thee transcend all the odds.

Old age home...!

Clock ticked 10.

He passed an ordering look..

The old lady lifted the bag.

Hefty of clothes of memories,

Packed of books of lullabies.

She was deserted..

With no ray of hope left in her!!

She stepped down..

The heavy heart was still beating!

 

***

The luxury car entered the premises.

She could see many faces,

weeping within..

They welcomed her with empathy,

One more member to the family!

***

He counted the currency!

Lakhs and some!

She sighed, the price for the trade!!

***

He signed the papers, and for one last time,

Turned towards her to waive goodbye!

Her wrinkled arms held his!

***

He felt the same warmth he had,

Everytime when she caressed him,

Everytime when she cuddled him,

Everytime when she nestled him!

***

He took off his hands from hers.

Walked down the steps,

 

With a thud in his heart!!

 

ഓ പൂങ്കുയിലേ....

ഓ പൂങ്കുയിലേ....
യുഗ്മഗാനം പാടി നീ മടുത്തുവോ...

ഏഴാം മല കടന്നു വെള്ളാരം കുന്നിൽ നിന്ന്...
നിന്റെ പ്രിയൻ വന്നണയുമ്പോൾ...
മധുരമാം ആ ഗാനം നീ പാടുകയില്ലേ...
നിന്റെ പ്രണയം പകുത്തു നീ നൽകില്ലേ..

കള്ളിപൂങ്കുയിലെ ..
നിന്റെ ഉള്ളിന്റെ ഉള്ളിലെ  പ്രേമനാളം
ആളുകയില്ലേ...

ഇത്തിരി നാളുകൾ നീ പാടുക കൂ...
നിന്റെ പ്രിയന്റെ വരവും കാത്ത് ...

നിലാമഴ....!!

ജന്മാന്തരങ്ങൾ തൻ തന്തു മീട്ടിടും 

നിൻ കരസ്പർശങ്ങൾ..

ഹൃദയസ്പന്ദനങ്ങൾ നനുത്തതാക്കിടും 

നിൻ മന്ദഹാസങ്ങൾ..

എൻ അന്തരാത്മാവിൽ 

നിലാമഴ പൊഴിഞ്ഞിടും..

ആ മഴയിൽ എൻ മനം 

നനഞ്ഞു നീരാടിടും..

പുതുമഴ നുകരും 

മയൂഖമായിടും..  

ചിലങ്ക അണിഞ്ഞു ഞാൻ 

നൃത്യമാടിടും..

Oh dawn!!!

Oh dawn...
How beautiful you are!!!
The melodious chirping of birds...
The first soothing rays of dear sun...

Am turning spellbound...
Words fail to express your mesmerizing beauty...
I could see the candid touch of almighty!!!

Oh dawn...
How beautiful you are!!!

We love each other!!!

My love...

I still wonder...

How have you come to my life!!

And has become my life!!

To share my happiness,

my sorrows,

my life...

To carass my hair..

To hold my hands tightly...

To laugh at my poor jokes!!

I know!!

We are different!!

In thoughts..

Approaches..

View points...

Still!! We share the bond!!

The ultimate reason being these simple words,

"We love each other!!"

Am flying...

I opened my eyes.. No.. I could not open them fully..

Am struggling to open..

***

Yes.. I can see the world now.. Am no more a pupa now..

Hey!!! I’ve developed myself as a butterfly!!!

Am sooooo excited!!!

***

See my wings.. How stunning they are!!!

Oh God.. You made me this beautiful..

***

Children are waving their hands..

I’ve to fly to them.. I’m trying..

***

Yes.. Am flying.. How soothing the air is..

Am blissful to the core..

***

I’m loving my life..

Oh God.. Thanks is just a word!!!

A Man without a Heart

A Man without a Heart

I was of an opinion that there exists no one,

Without a heart…..

But I could find one now,

Yes, a man without a heart!!

Circumstances may leave you mad,

Where you find it difficult,

To cope-up with…

To have thoughts in their absolute appropriateness!!

Still you feel relaxed,

When people around you,

Smile to you,

And, makes a say, “its ok, and keep going”

Yes, what I believe to be,

The ultimate meaning of one’s life!!

As the saying goes,

“Man is a social animal…”

Being “social” is not just being in relations,

Having a built up public image,

Doesn’t make one “social”

To my belief, what makes it out is,

The emotional quotient,

Underlying on one’s soul…

The genuineness in the feelings,

The tranquility in the deeds,

The serenity of the mind!!!

I might have been misled,

Because, I had lots to believe that,

Whom I treat as one,

The way I expect,

Is the same, in its real sense…

But,

Time has proved its truth..

It is very unfortunate,

Though I ought to say,

Enlightenment always follows lessons,

What you learn from experiences!!!

I feel depressing,

Because I am forced to say,

There exist, beings

Without a heart!!!

Yes, I say,

I could find one without a heart….!!!!

Mother

Mother..

The word which has got colossal sense by itself..

The ultimate answer to all the queries of life..

The pain she suffers is unparalleled..

The stress she bears is unrivaled..

The supreme deed one can ever do..

To confer herself to make one life happen..

The exceptional act one can ever imagine..

To carry a life along for elongated nine months..

Love you mom!!!

Am I to cry or to laugh???

Am utterly confused!!!

At this moment,

Am I to cry or to laugh???

Days were preserved..

For the sake of fulfilling our commitments..

Our responsibilities..

Deferring all the words to say..

All the feelings to express..

Convincing our minds,

Rather downsizing our emotions..

Everything upon a thought,

That the wait will have an end!!!

Now, when the day has arrived,

which we thought to be,

very far apart..

Am confused,

Am I to cry or to laugh???

The reason, I’ll tell you..

Life enters into another phase..

Takes a different turn..

Though expected,

a bit had to accept!!!

The frequent face-to-faces,

will have a temporary break now..

I know,

Someone who stays in your heart

will always be with you..

And, this separation is,

 just for a few days,

Onto a lifelong togetherness!!!

But still, as I said earlier,

Am confused,

Am I to cry or to laugh???

Pencil..

What does a pencil stand for??

When there is nothing to write down..

They were..

They were walking so close..

Drizzle poured down a dose..

They would look at each other’s eyes for a flash..

And both would pass on a soothing long breath to the splash..

His hand would momentarily fondle her hand..

Butterflies would start soaring as if from a magic wand..

At times, they wedged in maze..

She would then timidly impart her gaze..

He could cue an unusual glow in her face..

Words could hardly find any place..

She could sense her world beside her..

He could discern his life right there..

On this Independence Day..

 My hands shiver,

Not out of fear, but out of care,

That I owe to her..

To my mother India!!!

I shall present each drop of blood of mine..

Each pulse of mine..

For her..

Because, she made me born, grow,

And now live..

She offered me her uterus

To grow within..

She offered her chest

To walk ahead..

She offered her life

To breath in..

And she offers herself

To be her, at last..

My mother,

You offered your everything for me..

But,

What have I given you??

What have I done for you??

No doubts to say,

“Mere nothing”!!!!

The time has come,

To think, to re-think...

I owe great responsibilities to you!!!

Yes,

I owe you care, peace and

Moreover love..

I wish to live for you,

Even, to die for you!!!

Whatever,

My debts to you can never be paid off..

Love you my mother India..

എന്‍റെ ഗുരുനാഥന്..

സംഗീതസാഗരത്തില്‍,
കര കാണാതെ ഞാനുഴലവേ..
എന്‍ കരങ്ങള്‍ ഗ്രഹിച്ചു,
അജ്ഞതയില്‍ നിന്ന്
സംഗീതത്തിന്‍റെ മാസ്മര ലോകത്തിലേക്ക്‌ 
എന്നെ നയിക്കുന്ന
എന്‍റെ ഗുരുനാഥന് ആയിരം പ്രണാമങ്ങള്‍.. 

സന്ധ്യേ..

സൂര്യകിരണങ്ങള്‍ മെല്ലെ മായുന്ന വേളയില്‍..
ഒരു നിലവിളക്കിന്‍റെ നാളം പോലെ
സന്ധ്യേ.. നീ വന്നണയുന്നു..
നിന്‍റെ സൗന്ദര്യം.. അവര്‍ണനീയം..
നിന്‍റെ നൈര്‍മല്യം.. അനുപമീയം..
സന്ധ്യേ.. നീയില്ലാതെ..
അപൂര്‍ണമീ   ദിനം..

I wish..

When I look into your eyes..

I wish,

Breaths turn breezy..

Looks go frozen..

And,

Hours do endure..

SURVIVAL, NOT AN EMPIRE!!!

I feel, we have to do a lot..

Lots of broken hearts,

Wait for us, with expectations!!

They could’ve left their world,

The accumulated laments..

But, they didn’t, they live,

Because, they see dream on us..

Not a result of God’s discrimination,

But, something which can’t be

defined, left them unaddressed!!

Infinities are among them..

Struggling to move themselves….

Most of us haven’t yet thought of,

their  miseries,

Haven’t yet cared for,

their tears, their feelings..

Of course, we are wanted!!!

To give them a hand,

to their flow of lives,

Thereby giving them a little hope,

Compassion, love and care..

Just listen to them,

They’ve to say a lot..

Fluctuations on share prices,

don’t matter to them,

But, fluctuations in the price of rice,

matter to them the most…

Because, the real problem is,

SURVIVAL, NOT AN EMPIRE!!!
