जिंदगी

हमने जिसे देखा, काश वो धुंध न होती |

हमने जिसे छुआ, काश वो प्रतिबिम्ब न होती |

हमने जिसे गले लगाया, काश वो रेत का पुतला न होती |

हम जिसके पीछे हो लिए, काश वो मृगतृष्णा न होती | |

  

वन्दे परमानन्दमाधवम ||

मूकं करोति वाचालं पंद्गुम लद्घयते गिरिं |
यत्कृपा तमहं वन्दे परमानन्दमाधवम || 

I pray thy the Supreme Blissful 'Madhava', whose grace render me - the mute and crippled one;
the eloquence and strength to climb the mountain peaks !!!

Happy and Colourful Holi!!!

This day many many years ago.... I remember…... Do you?

We played our first Holi…

I was hesitant to take the initiative…

May be not to displease you – I would not dare to do that…

or for an unknown fear…

or for  weird and wonderful reason(s)

You took the initiative...

I reciprocated hypnotically…

We came close... so close…

I could feel the aroma and the softness of your body…

I am mesmerized... till today

I will cherish these memories till I SLEEP...

Anyway Happy and colourful Holi to you this year again!!!
