Through the blurred eyes I see my past,
A youth that passed so fast.

Success, fame, money topped the priority
Family, friends, children were mere a responsibility.

With the fast paced life I juz drifted
Neva stopped, Neva cared about what I was gifted.

Those hearty laughs, those carefree days
I knew I had, but always kept them at bay
'Oz eventually they had to follow
This misconception has left me so hollow.

I cud not see her love,
Was blinded by glory,
Nw it'z too late even for a sorry.

I wish I had a magic wand,
To bring back da moments, she waited so long.

But Alas,
Shez gone with a lesson to teach,
U need a soulmate no matter how high u reach.

Success brings happiness, is only a myth,
More when I' ve no one to be with.

Through the broken window of da present
I peep into my past,
Few moments were pleasant,
Regrets still last.

Perhaps this was the only way to learn,
A punishment for all the things left undone.

But as I say goodbye,
I've a moral for u to stand by...
Life is too short to be lived later
In the end you'll realise
It was you whoz a traitor...

So hey,
When ur mind seem to overtake,
Listen to wad ur heart says
Live for ur loved ones
Come wad may!

When the going gets tough...
N lifez been through rough...

Believe...
Believe in urself!!
'Oz its ur belief...
dat sails u through storms
and makes u strong.

Belief...
Light in the dark
Sign when therez no mark

Belief...
A source of inspiration
A reason for perspiration

Belief...
Ur strength to stand against the world
For wad u feel, u believe...

Belief...
Ur friend amongst foes
Ur santuary during da lows.

Belief...
Da only strategy for success,
Nothing less, nothing excess.

Belief...
Can conquer the unconquerable,
Beat the unbeatable..

Belief...
With belief comes faith
With faith comes love
And with love comes life...

So Believe...
Believe in U
Believe in God
'Oz itz belief dat fights all odds,
Gives u da strenght of a sword
And brings u closer to Lord.

Little I would have bothered about Virginia Tech shootout had I not been admitted to VT for this Fall.
33 people died including Cho (the murderer who took innocent lives) in the deadliest campus shootout in the American History.
Such incidents force me to think that in this world of hatred where do we find love, friendship, compassion and kindness? And the answer is.. it comes from within.. yes as individuals we have the responisbility to make our earth a beautiful and safe place to live..to help people like Cho to overcome their personal conflicts and mental battles and never isolate them..
May God Bless all the vicitms of VT tragedy and may their souls rest in peace and be ready to embark yet another journey (safer and more beautiful) in this world

When the rain falls,
The nature calls
I know it's you...
My only one, it's true.

The mysterious seas,
The buzzing bees..
Remind me of you..
Everyday seems so new.

Through the mysticfog
I find my way..
As you are my light
In the Wintery days.

The song of the mountains,
The fishes in the fountain
Manifest you..
I know it's true.

Through the storms
My life ship sails,
'Oz you are my harbour
And I know am safe.

Sometimes I get angry,
Sometimes I shout..
You hold my hand and juz smile.
It makes me feel..
Together we can walk a 1000miles.
Be with me for more than a while.

When the rain falls,
The nature calls
I know it's you...
My only one, it's true.
With you as a person I grew..
Though the words to thank you are few.

Itz hard to believe
Dat ya gone...

I still feel ur touch
It doesn't take much...
To believe dat ya not gone

I can hear ur breath
I love u from da depth

I woke up from da dream
To find dat ya gone...

Itz hard to believe.

Everythingz come to a halt
Tell my heart it'll stop

My lifez got no meaning without u
I'm breathing juz fa da promise i made to u

Times have changed
So have we...
But the one who still cares is me.

I wish we could be more than juz good friends
Spend life holding hand in hand..

I thought you loved me
When you came to meet me
And made those excuses juz to see me..

Each day I thought of you,
Everything seemed so new..

You made me feel beautiful
Life seemed so bountiful

It was spring the whole year
And no room for a tear

You were in my dreams day and night
I was in the sky, full of might

I wish we could be more than juz good friends
Spend life holding hand in hand..

But perhaps you were not made for me
Our love was not destined to meet.

I expected more than I should have
Didn't know there was someone you already have

My dreams got shattered
So did I
But I did not cry..

You were and will always be there
But its me who still cares

I wish we could be more than juz good friends
Spend life holding hand in hand..

I wish I could show you
How much I loved,
How much cared..
My love was sacred
But you never cared.

It’s been a battle since you have gone,
But no matter what the life must go on.

With each passing day…
My love for you gets stronger
Though I know you are there no longer.

But there’s still some hope
My heart gives me strength to cope

A day will come when you will be mine
Everything would be so divine.

Yes we are more than juz good friends…
Spending life holding hand in hand

Lashed by the rain
Roads are a pain.

Each ridez a camel ride..
Why do we take so much pride?

Each day I wake up with a dream
Roads are as smooth as cream.
But when I go out I scream
My dream remains a dream.

Head aches, back aches…
Patience is wad it takes.
Money is wad municipality makes
Our lives are at stake.

Lashed by rains
Roads are a pain
Let me know if any hope you gain...

People come and go…..
But what stays with you is your soul.

They may think you are alone,
But God’s always there with you in abode.

Pressing times will only make you stronger,
The pains will stay no longer.

You can achieve what you want…..
Reach the mountains,
Touch the sky…
All you need is to walk an extra mile!

The sun never sets for those who try..
So don’t give up
Don’t cry….
And let the tears dry..

Doubt not your strengths
But doubt your doubts….

Where there is a will there is a way
Keep your fears at bay
Start your day with a new hope and say
‘I can and I will find a way………’

Navratri is a big festival in gujarat. Every year people wait for these 9days of joy, fun and dancing. Being a gujarati and living in gujarat one ought to know garba. But i don't.
Every year i have to face the same question 'where do you go for garba' and like an old recorded tape everytime i say 'i don't go for garba', 'i go only to watch it', 'i don't know how to play garba'...And the immediate reaction is 'WHY?!?!?!' People react as if i have commited some heinious crime... I am made to feel that am good for nothing as i don't know how to play garba...

I respect the spirit of navratri and those who enjoy playing garba and dandia but why do i have to also do the same?..

I cannot dance.. i cannot carry 'chaniya choli', so what a big deal about it?!

There are many things which we don't do in life and am not creating any problem for anyone by not playing garba, so what's this fuss all about? Why can't people just accept the fact that i cannot do garba and be normal with me?!

The joyous chirping of the birds,
the innocent laugh of a baby,
the giggles of lovers,
the smile of a mother...
the dancing of the leaves,
the sound of the waves,
the flowers blooming,
the bees buzzing...
the faint smell of coffee
the sweet memories of enfance...
its a beautiful day, a beautiful life...
listen to the music of the nature
and dance to the tunes of GOD!!
