Purushottam Karandak

Hey.....It was a huge success....I have never felt so happy and so satisfied in my life.
After hours of frustration, days of sadness and after cursing everyone at least a million times, the day arrived, the ultimate performance......and what a performance!!!!

Congratulations to all!!!
Especially Sajal, Girish, Tejashree, Amir and Aditya, what a performance!!!!
And the entire Backstage team (Swati Tiwari included)

But honestly, like all of them said, Purushottam is once in a lifetime experience.....
It changes you completely..... and it has definitely changed me..........

Simply dont stop .....

I saw you,
Sparkling white on black rock,
Growing drop by drop..
and waiting ever so patiently
for the monsoons.
Night or day, you simply dont stop in time....
to reach that river you will find.

You must be hurt
by falling so hard on the rock,
the trees laugh at you and
the birds mock.
Yet, with the beauty in pace
you look the future in the face.

There is a promise in your sound
and with the approaching clouds,
you dance your heavenly dance,
and I stand here, in a trance....
to see you go with flowing generosity
and facing the infinite space between yourself and the river.

But even then, you dont stop.
A tiny ,minute waterfall,
you simply dont stop,
and with the growing seconds on the clock,
you simply dont stop......

Barakhaa

Ten and nine, and yet, SINGLE.....

Ten and nine, and yet ,single....

(this poem is supposed to be funny)

Ten and nine, and yet , single...
An insipid truth I digest
to live,
to exist in this not so innocuous world.
I surreptitiously pray
Send me an angel!!!

Send me a wish, I wish,
A lost hope, I hope.

A candle, I try to burn in my heart,
I try to blush, but cant manage,
no reason, no cause...
I am wont to a start,
But a wait is savage,
And hell! no room for a pause.

A maverick would rock!!
A traditional, I dont mind,
And an inane one is most welcome...

Seconds on the clock
and a life I bind
Heart in heart, I am ready to run....

Barakhaa

Hosh.....

Aaj sirf itna hi likh sakti hoon.....

Phool ko bhi murjhana hai......

Ek Lamha

To love.... the most powerful emotion of al......

Ek Lamha.....
Ek lamha, guzar gaya...
Teri yadon mein,
Ek pal jo thehar gaya....
Teri baahon mein,
Ab yadon, mulakaton,ke sahaare,
jeena hai......

Sote hue sapney dekha karte thhe,
Ab jaagti ankhen bhi khwab dekha karti hai.....
Rote hue ankhon ko gila karte thhe,
Ab hasti ankhen bhi bheeg jaaya karti hai...
In haste ansuon ko khushi se
peena hai......

Mausam, mausam, subah geeli geeli,
Pattiyon ke paani mein, tumk dhoondha karte hai....
Nadiya, nadiya, sagar, sagar...
Seepi ki moti mein tumko dhoondha karte hai...
Jeevan ke har ansh mein tumhi ko...
Dhoondha hai...

Ek lamha.....
Barakha
