Many a times , I sit and think , today I will talk slowly and and really take time to think ..
I ponder , I wonder ...
About various questions I have no answers to..
Existence is not life.. Yup this is true..
So what is life...
To me it's simple..
It's about babies , pets and simple things..
A smile ,a flower ,a sun-rise ,a hug, a look, a caress , a girl , a boy , waves here and there, raindrops , shadows and the aroma of happiness in the air...
To me life is a finely woven tapestry of moments..
Amazing and otherwise...
Not just a random room of unnameable events...
Each day counts and as I sleep ... The day runs through my head , and the memories I love , I just keep..
to be played , on a day when I maybe blue ...
And don't feel like an "I love you"
Yes I smile a lot and laugh like mad too... Sometimes my heart feels like a million shooting stars and sometimes, it just runs through a corn-field so blue...
Racing to a destination unknown, my heart races like a wild stallion through a forest...
And sometimes stops to rest...
It's in this rest , that I know my story...
Yup and it's about simple things like "faith, hope and love" and the most important of all is love ...And the nicest part is that when love chooses you , you just have to give in..
So with this I look into my eyes and the days movie plays by, I scan through all I have done, how many I helped and how I felt,
What made me upset , what made my heart feel at rest, I'm not perfect , no not even near , but I want to be a better me ....
So....
If I hurt anyone....
from the bottom of my heart,just wanna say "I'm sorry"....
Good night god bless it's time to sleep , may angels around me, in their arms keep,
May they hold me close and be with me through the night and as a new day breaks through , I'm greeted with sun-light ...
That caresses my face and makes me feel all warm , and lights up my brown eyes with a promise of keeping near all the warm hearts I hold dear ...
For me, life is a big see-saw. On one side is India where i was born and spent 22 yrs of my life and on the other side is Toronto where i have been for the past 12odd years. Wake up in the morning and see what's happening on the other side of the see saw. Talk to all that warmth of friends in mumbai and open the door to white snow. Driving through the canadian Winter listening to Dil dhoondta hain phir wahi..... fursad ke raat din. Trying to explain my desiness to my kids. Was sitting with them after school and looking at the birthday invites. Now in true gujju style, i have a book where I record which child received which gift at their birthdays. between three kids there are a lot of birthdays that I go to. So Kabir my youngest gets a invite and I ask him "Did she come to your birthday party" as i look away for a second, Om whispers to kabir, Say yes or she won't let you go. They are trying to get around my desiness and I am learning how to be more Canadian. So here I am on my roller coaster of full on desi tadka driving my van with Gun gun guna playing one time , my turn and Rihana finding love in a hopeless place my kids turn. If you read the whole thing....... meri to nikal padi..............

DeleteOh how i know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that you love Michael Buble. I do follow you on twitter. He is good. Full of soul. Baaki sab kaha se gate hain pata nahi, ye ekdum dil se gaata hain. (Sorry after seeing a lot of spoofs on the awards circuit, I also felt like being ganda). There is another song, Sweet Caroline from the show Glee. See it on Youtube. Nice one.
