Let it be!

Withered leaf looked at the tree...
Asked, why did you let me free.

Tree replied, it's time to move on...
Wait, leaf said, but I want to hold on.

The harsh wind will blow me around... The unknown dark streets will hound.

You held me in the comfort of your arms, so I gleam...

It was you, who decided to protect my sheen.

Why to leave me now when I was all yours...

I always followed life through your eyes and spoors.

For me, the happiness of rain was you, not the water pouring...

With you, the shadows made meaning, despite the sun goring.

Pleading leaf saw the mum tree and let it free...

Why to hold on someone who puts you over your knee...

Life is beautiful, move on and let it be...

Of course, one day, she will learn to sleep!

You look good, when you smile: She was told often.

She promised to laugh, buried her pain in the silk made coffin.

The pain was there, much intact, but she looked happy.

World thought, she has moved on, inside she became more sappy.

She was joking... She was fun... She was high.. Inside, she was dun.

Pillow and Night - She had two friends.

Only two companions, who knew her consents.

Tired of masked days and chirpy evenings,

She constantly feared the dark nights.

The longer the nights, the more she recalled those fights.
Life is a pain - that lightless room made her realise.

Why all this happened, that was her only plight.

Her wounds were fresh and scars will be deep.

But how long she can weep?

Of course, one day, she will learn to sleep!

Married Life...

Oh! So he will be my better half, I thought, looking into the happy eyes of my parents, 

Finally, the man of your dreams appear  promising a heavenly ride,

Those bollywood songs and blushing flowers, this is how the “courtship” glides,

Yes, it was difficult to keep my very own family aside, they were the best and my pride,

But now, you are my groom, my life and for sure, I will be the best bride,

With all the hopes intact in my heart and promises in mind, I walked by your side,

Bundle of love, hopes and affection is what I have brought with me to sprinkle over my newly “married life”………

I can’t say, you say and when you can’t say, I say, we fight, we mis-communicate... there  is so much to understand,

You don't like this, you don't like that...I am changing inside out on your command.

How to say and when to say, your reactions are completely unknown,

Sometimes you are nice, cool & sometimes, I am blown!

Job, kitchen, in-laws and social  responsibilities, we hardly get time to spend,

After the tiring days, the usual ugly fight at night’s end,

Probably, the teething problems of my wedding, anyway, they will go away with time.

Whatever is the tune of life, you and me, together, can make it rhyme,

After all, we were strangers who are now suppose to eat the common slice,

Handling all celebrations, discouragements together, this is what is called “Married Life”………..

The journey to a goal begins, but the goal of prosperity is not a fun ride,

Says an inner voice to me, your hand in my hand, we can cross painful tide,

What ever I do, whatever you do- right or wrong, say it, just never hide,

We may go wrong, may choose foul, but surely we’ll handle and guide,

Keeping a firm promise in mind and love in heart towards the relationship, we call it “the Married Life”………..

Who knows, the miles of walk for these strangers may turn into a lovers hive,

The hope, that if not now, we will understand each other, some day, some hour—makes us “Husband and Wife”!

And, the passion to keep this arrange marriage work, is called my “Married Life”……………

Grow up Babes!

Story starts from my school days,

It was definitely my life’s golden phase,

I was the first bencher...always,

The one who use to fight for marks & win every teacher’s praise,

My Class mates often tell me- Oh! Himani – Grow up BABES!

I dint mind & walked my ways,

Go & shape your eyebrows! – My girl friends’ says,

I said NO, I don’t want to, I am a kid, these are my School Days!

Oh! C’mon Himani – Grow up BABES!

Giggles, Giggles, smiles and smiles- no one had ever seen my tears,

I only wanted to study, smile and succeed – I had no fears,

Hell lot of friends, Hell lot of love and Hell lot of zest,

I did whatever I felt best!

Reciting a three page long “MANTRA” before an exam,

Keeping a “MAUN VRATA” to get good marks,

Talking all the stupid stuff to make people laugh,

Fighting for friends with others on their behalf,

My belief and trust in god was my Better Half.

I loved dancing in rain, love stories were part of my brain,

Concept of “Dream Man” allured me; I was badly addicted to TEA,

My first love was “Hrithik Roshan”- A hunk to see!

The wish- Oh! God make me marry him please!

I did fasting on the day when his movies release!

One day “Suzzane” came & broke my dream,

I got shattered but thankfully! John entered into the scene,

We were happy together and eating the “LAYS”
When Bipasha entered & said- Himani- Grow up BABES!

One day, my life took a turn & presented me a hell,

Smile? What is this and How to spell?

Distrust, Disloyalty, Disaffection & Distance- all “DIS” in my life,

Oh! It was so painful & blunt- I can’t describe.

Finally! I was out of my dreams,

There were agonizing screams,

No more giggles, no more praise,

Himani has finally grown up BABES!

Life is more than “getting cold while dancing in rain”,

Life is fouler than a dirty drain,

Life has some other meaning for the term “DREAM SHATTERED”,

Life is not that easy when it comes to live with “hatreds”,

Misunderstandings, failures, conspiracies & many more,

Took me and my life on a lonely shore,

I broke, I smashed but with a promise,
I will revive, I will get up!

My life, health, relations & carrier,

All got vanished in a haze,

But yes!!! I have definitely grown up BABES!

I cried & cried, forgot the way to smile!

Hated the god for being so hostile,

With moistures eyes- I walked miles,

I learnt the ways of life & its’ various styles!

With a will in heart & experience of past,

My life, after along time came on the track,

Everything is back with a BANG!

Finally, I am out of the MAZE!

Happiness & success is again here to CHASE!

But for sure! Himani has now grown up BABES!

Himani... U can do it!

Forget the past,

Forget the pains,

Cherish the present,

Cherish the gains,

All will be well, just believe it!
All the Best Himani…..U can do it!

See, this is life,
Full of sacrifice,
It’s easy to shed the tears,
Difficult to hide the fears,
Let the brave Himani come out,
All the Best Himani…U can do it!! C’mon shout!

I know it’s not easy,
It’s making me crazy,
But I don’t have a choice,
Just hear the almighty’s voice,
U will get it,
All the Best Himani…U can do it!!!

Say All Is Well! All is well!
What’s in your fate, let the god spell,
Leave the worries,
Leave the hurries,
The view ahead is quite split,
All the Best Himani….U can still do it!!!

Why are you crying?
What are you trying?
Self selection is what we always make,
Now your idol has chosen this for you- You have to take!!
No more complaints, No more fakes,
Hold the belief and stick to it,
All the Best Himani….U can do it!!!!

Life is not a cake walk; it’s not at all simple,
Now I got it!!! It’s much more pinching than a pimple,
In adolescence, I just wished that my face should have right side dimple,
But the journey after that has created a mark on my life, a permanent wrinkle!

I need to repair it; I need to give it - a hit,
I need to make all fit, I need to forget it,
I need to see my benefit, Finally, I need to commit,
Himani! Just sit and believe it.....All the best!! Because U can do it!!!!!!
