Come, Hold My Hand

Come, hold my hand
Lets walk together
To the Distant Land
The Land OF Dreams
Where Happiness Lives
We wish of the little joys
That will last for ever
To watch a smile grow
And catch that silent whisper
Of stories and lazy afternoons
And sun-kissed winters
To watch the twinkling dew-drops
Splash on a sleeping bee
And laugh as a butterfly flutters by
To watch in awe as each flower blooms
And the rainbow adorns the sky

Come, hold my hand
And let the journey begin
Where the winds will be our guides
There will be highs and there will be lows
But no matter what, we will arrive
Where we are destined to be
A little nudge, a gentle push
And we are almost there
If one halts, the other will toll
Until the paths are clear
Through the pains and smiles
And the tears and laughs
Our dreams will lead us through

Come, hold my hand
Trust your self child,
All this can be and is true :)

Lessons from the Sun

Ever noticed what the Sun Rise and Sun Set have to say to us?
A job begun and finished with a cool head is a job well done. :)

A Summer Afternoon's Dream

on a sweltering summer afternoon
take a walk down that lane
that which is shaded by the green towers
where the Gulmohars on fire

you are distracted by the fragrance of the blue bells
the Cuckoo is busy testing her vocals
and won't let you doze off

as you lie on the thick green carpet
you miss those dew drops
that once upon a time
had quenched the thirst of your tired feet

as the sun tries his best to reach you
through the breeze and the leaves
you take it all in
the silence, the wind, that drowsy moment
and the absence of that scent of the first rain

its then you realize that you are not alone
as you wait with baited breath
for that first drop of rain, that flirtatious grey cloud
and that cool breeze

its the whole world around you
and a little some one within you
whose tiny hands itch to spread out
and catch those first drops
a tiny mouth stands open patiently
to get the taste of the monsoon
and the tiny feet!
well what they wouldn't give to rush out
and embrace their first love: the muddy puddles!

the Cuckoo calls! and you realize, that the wait is not yet over
there are many more sweltering summer afternoons
before the romance finally sets in :)

Meri Gurdiya

pardo me chupi hai ek nanhi si pari
sharati ankhe aur masum si hansi
main nam pukarti hu uska
dhundhti hu use ghar bhar me
dabe paon par ati hai nathkhat
aur chipak jati hai mere daman se

itni mohabbat kyu hai usse
kyu jurd gayi hain sanse usse
kal to wo urd jayegi
aur main takti reh jaungi sune raste
daman me kyu na chupalu aaj usko
aur dua karu Usse
ki is nazuk si gurdiya ko bus
yuhi rehne do na meri baaho me

pyar se jholi bhar dungi uski
har farmaish puri hogi
sapne dekhenge hum dono mil kar
timtimate taaro ke chadar par
chand ki chandni bikhregi
aur kisse kahani sunte sunte
so jayegi wo meri baaho me

fir subah me chechkegi mere aangan me
aur hum khelenge khel naye navele
apne sapne yuhi sach honge
fir ek din jab wo totli boli bolegi
to main rum jaungi uske dhun me
aur man hi man muskaungi :)

Dreams

my dreams are precious. and i will no longer mold them in the cast of a pay check or a hike. i will live my dreams today. my dreams are what make me. and only i will understand their value. they may seem unreasonable to you, but its ok for you to think so.

i dream of happiness and love. of you and me. of smiles and laughter that will fill our lives. of sun kissed days and nights spent counting the stars. of the hours reading stories to the little one. and watch her sleep in our arms with only love in our hearts. there will be no worries to darken our skies, no creases to live on our brows.

i dream of roads less traveled and new cross-roads each day. i see my self walking beside you on a grassy path. holding hands and cradling our princess. the silence of a forest engulfs us as we reach the doors of our home. our world.

my dreams will come true and that is what i live for. i know that the journey is more beautiful than the destination and i am loving each day. I thank HIM for each lesson and each failure. They are are the steps that will take me closer to the destination. I rejoice at each milestone.
 
walk beside me and lets make this the happiest moment of our lives. memories will be made today and relived ever after. lets make them as precious as my dreams. our dreams :)

Amma

Kaun se pal the vo
Jab main chupti thi tere anchal me
Kaha gaye vo din jab
Tu mujhe kisse sunati thi
Kitabo se mohabbat, aur shabdo se rishte
Tujh se hi shuru aur tujh par hi khatam
Hote hain aj sare raste
Us Hansi ke kya kehne jab
Maine Ma keh kar pukara tha tujhko
Us Khushi ki kya keemat jab
Main ayi thi tere paas pehli baar chal ke
Ma, tera yakeen jo hai mujh par
Aaj chalti hu mai uske hi dum pe
Tujhse khafa bhi ho jau to jau kaha main
Sanjh ko ghosle par to tu hi raah takegi
Meri ek chehak se hi to teri sans chalegi :)

Water Shortage

Silly Mommy!

Keeps mumbling something about Water Shortage. Now how exactly can dear Water be short if he is flowing from Mr. Tap who is so high up in the air?

No wonder she was so hopeless in Chemistry.

Guess, I need to give Mommy a lesson on Water's properties.

Although she says this is the last time she is going to fill up my Blue Bucket.

Not to worry, an emotional ear-splitting Opera Session inside the Washroom will set things right. >: )

New Address

I have relocated.

Kindly note the change in address. Yo are all cordially invited - ONLY if you do not plan to drag me out of my new home and love a constant splash of water.

P.S.- Please carry your own mugs. I have 2. But I will not share

New Address: -

The Blue Bucket,
C/O The Washroom,
Next to the Washing Machine
Opposite The Kitchen :)

STATUTORY WARNING

If you are visiting my home, please do NOT leave your belongings unlocked / unzipped. If everything / anything ends up in the dustbin / washroom POT, I am not responsible. Those are my store houses where I usually store my toys (until Mommy throws them away). Sigh! :)

Tonight

I saw the angels smile
And the sun rose for me
The stars twinkled in the sky
And dew drops trickled down the leaves
It was quiet as it could be
And a dream came true
The grey clouds vanished away
And the moon was my Guiding Light
I kissed you again and again
And your softness left me speechless
As you slept in my arms
And a thousands flowers blossomed for eternity
The breeze caressed my brow
And we smiled
You in your dreams
And I, as I watched you sleep :)

Daddy, Please Stop Smoking

Dear Daddy (and all the uncles and aunties who smoke [and drink] )

Please stop smoking [and drinking]. We tiny tots need you. A lot.

- After a very scary weekend.

Good Night,
A scared tiny tot :/

This is a request. Please stop. My status messages have often made you laugh in the past. And will continue to do so. But today, its a request direct dill se. We all had a nasty scare. And I just don't want ANYONE to go through it ever again. So everyone who falls in this category, PLEASE STOP. It may seem cool or the only way to let go of all the stress, BUT IT IS NOT. Do it not for your self, because as such you have stopped caring for and loving your selves, but for those who care for and love you. A wife, a child, a parent, a sibling, a friend. Our lives revolve around you. And we can not imagine a moment without you. So STOP SMOKING for us. Good Night. Looking forward to countless happy smiling weeks and weekends with all of you. Love, Saumya

 

 

Feathered Alarm Clocks

Dear Feathered Friends Living on Neighbouring Trees,

This is to bring to your notice that I am already blessed by the most sensitive alarm clock AKA my daughter.

Although I fully understand your need to test your vocal chords at 3 AM every morning but please do not team up with her to drive me crazy.

I am seriously not interested in yours and her joint Opera performance night after night.

This my sincere and most sinister warning to you all innocent wretches.

Kindly take note and do not blame me if suddenly you guys miss your feathers and abodes one fine morning.

Good Night! Grrr ;)

Stupid Milk

Stupid Milk! 

Why can't you stay in one place? Why spill out when I turn Mr. Cup upside down to play drums? 

Got Mr. Bum spanked for no reason. 

We are supposed to be a team, you know? Mr. Cup, you and me. 

Now remember that and be obedient. When I play with Mr. Cup, you just stay where you are. Understood?

Silly Liquids! :)

A Fairy White Remote

"Puff! This household has no respect for social service.

Inspired by the current craze of having a fair "everything", I thought, well, why not a fairy white remote?

Got a whack on poor Mr. Bum, in my quest of scrubbing Mr. Remote with Vaseline Body Lotion.

Insensitive people. Huh!" ;)

Time Reading

Smothered by a diapered bum, wobbling on your nose?

Its definietly around 4 A.M. in the morning. ;)
