DREAMS......

I still am waiting for my dawn to break,
when I'll be granted all the wishes that I make.
When I will lead my life wherever I want
and when there will be no restrictions and no bonds.

The time that I wait is when I have no fetter
the time that won't come as a fact of matter.
The chains and the fetters do always come
but still why I have a Nil Desparandum?

My hopes have shattered and dreams blown away
the path ahead is dark and for light do I pray.
But hardly ever have my prayers been answered
why its always me who's left lost and concerned.

I do believe in plans that you have made for me
perhaps that's why I grew, whatever failure it would be.
Why then you always want to test my trust in you
so make me compromise always in everything I do.

Every next time my efforts, I increase,
so that I, just once, can make you please.
To make you look at me with a smile in your face
to put your hands on me and help me win the race.

I am tired now of having my failures being accepted
of succumbing to them and left myself dejected.
why every time there is still some more to do?
Will I ever feel the pleasure of dreams coming true?

I can't stop myself from dreaming all the time
to think for myself, I believe, ain't here a crime.
Yet another dream, my eyes have visioned
and want it to be true with no buts, no conditions.

For the success of my dream, I pray to you O GOD
I know you can do it with just a simple nod.
Please don't make my trust in you to shake
cos I still am waiting for my dawn to break.

Young India and the social change it can drive

When most countries in the world are experiencing ageing problem, India is lush with about 65% of its population below 35 years of age. The youth in India has emerged to be a great force marking its presence in politics, economy, science, civil services and many such important avenues. I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said that there could never be a better time to be ‘young’ in India. People could write at lengths about the positive changes that the Young India engenders but still there are some important avenues that need our immediate attention. If Wikipedia were to be believed, India’s charity index ranks 91 st in the list of 140 countries and the United States of America, 2 nd . The list of most Philanthropic people in the world starts with Bill Gates, an American, and features many more like Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg etc. There does appear an Indian in the list, Azim Premji ranked at no. 4, just one Indian in the list of twenty. India never lacked rich people; still ...

LOST........

This new poem of mine depicts the disappointment that gets associated with the failures in life.... My life is completely lost around me, is mist and frost. The life which once was bright is now just pale and white. Some challenges that I had to meet, some promises I needed to keep are now seeming too far away cos its my luck that has to play. I had to keep a promise I made to my mother as I once said, "Mom you'll one day be proud of me" that pride in her eyes is all I wanted to see. All I wanted is to spread my wings "I'll touch horizons" I used to think. Whom my father would look and cry "That's my daughter touching the sky". There were people all around me 'A loser' in me they see. I had a challenge to prove them wrong and break the jinx that existed so long. I wished to be a reason for them to smile those people with whom I went miles. with whom no sadness was ever allowed I just wished them to feel proud. I had reasons so many to s...

Where CRY means smiles :)

It was the end of November and it was ‘that time’ of the year. Every year I would save up all my holidays for my annual visit to my home country, India. As expected, I had a full agenda during my visit. Meet all the relatives, eat street food everyday, attend a friend’s wedding and do lots of shopping, the regular roster. This year however, I had another item in my to-do list. Ever since I started working for CRY in Seattle and learnt that they have a project in my home state Chhattisgarh, I had made up my mind to visit the project, the next time I went to India and now was the time. I was really looking forward to the visit! So having coordinated all the plan with my friends at CRY, I was all set-up to visit Gram Mitra Samaj Sevi Sanstha (GMSSS) project in Kartala block of Korba district in Chhattisgarh, Here is what I expected my day would look like and how it actually turned out to be EXPECTATION REALITY Leave the origin ...
