Union

I really don't know when I wrote this and what state of mind I was in when I wrote this or who I am writing about, but thought would publish this old draft anyway 


Me?

Turmoil all around
Calmness within


They?

Calmness all around
Turmoil within



Thoughts

Emotions

Confusions...small
UNION...Grand


Festivals from my eyes!

Diwali 
What does it mean to me?

A time for spring cleaning

Donning those overalls :) climbing up the rickety ladder and washing and wiping those year old walls. Do you think I am joking?

And now its all about being the pujari of two houses and one office :)


Rakhi
What does it mean to me?

making a list of 'all' my brothers (twice the number of fingers and two more --literally more than a handful :))
We are 3 sisters but I don’t have a brother as in a no real brother and probably that’s why all my first cousins, and some of my second cousins form the focus of our attention during this festival this time round


Rakhis go all around the globe for us now as all brothers have spread their wings :)


Holi
What does it mean to me?
Colors, unreconizable faces, Water, Balloons, Rangoing some people completely and just putting a Teeka on others

Seeing people of all ages in Silver Oaks come out and play this festival of colors with unabashed aplomb.

Most importantly this is my time with Yohaan and really watching him have fun and having fun because he is having fun :)


Lies caress my lips

Justuju hai sirf tumhari garm saanson ki in honthon ko.
Kaan main sirf tumhare kasmasane ki hi awaaz ho

Chahe saraab ka hi nazara mile in aankhon ko,
Par jab palakein band ho toh tumhara hi chehra ho Zehen main,
Tumhari hi khushboo ho rooh main,
Tumhari hansi goonje mere khayalon main..
Main is kadar kasmasaoon jaise ki
Hawa ke sehlane se darakht ki pattiyan kasmasati hai

In hothon ko jooth ka sahara de do
In aankhon ko saraab ka nazara de do
Bund palkon se tumhe chhoone ka bahana de do
Tumhari khushboo main ghul jaoo
Bus itna sa mujhe tum kinara de do
