You and I

     
As I sip on your love like a sweet addiction, I lose track of the sun and the stars. You keep me coming wave after next. My heart is full like the unending ocean. This passion lights fire to our souls. We burn as we love. We love like we burn. It's you all the way. In our own crazy ways we make sense of this madness. You and I, baby, we make love like there's no tomorrow….today tastes like red wine off your lips. 

Our love has set us free. In your warm arms I’m the best version of me. We’re drunk from this love. There’s no saving us. We don’t wanna be saved. 

Nothing scares me now. You and I, baby, we’re unbound by time.  

 

What Is Sexy?

Sexy is independence, confidence
It is about keeping an open mind and staying insatiable for discovery
It is never letting the spark die out
You are sexy when you can charm a crowd with just a smile
When you radiate the glow of self worth
Sexy is about taking charge and being accountable
It is the constant endeavor to excel at everything that excites you
Sexy is about compassion and care
It is about believing
It is exhibiting potential and strength
And understanding your priorities

Sexy is not being confined to numbers and sizes
It's about taking care of your body and loving it
It is about being comfortable in your skin and enjoying the intricacies
It's when you wear your body everyday like your favorite hot dress

Sexy is about emanating love
But above all, loving oneself - while still staying selfless

Sexy is always walking with your head held high
Being in charge of your own happiness

Sexy is a state of mind
Sexy is Me

When hope meets its friend in death
A promise reveals itself empty
A wish turns damp and the doors open to disappointment
Where do you go

When everything you've believed in
Doesn't even exist
The realization drowns slowly into you
When a warm feeling is met by a cold cold heart
Where do you go

When sorrow makes you its home
And you're left once again with a tear down your cheek
When you find you are alone in this world of so many
Where do you go from here

Tumhi Se

ye halka sa nasha tumhi se hai
meetha sa sukoon tumhi se hai
hoton pe muskurahat tumhi se hai
kisike paas hone ka ehsaas tumhi se hai

dil ki khwaishon mein ab tum hi ho
jeene ki wajah ab tum hi ho
pyaar bharaa sparsh tumhi se hai
madhosh dil ka haal ab tumhi se hai
          

These are some words my friend penned down for my son Aarav. He graciously allowed me to put his writing on my blog. I'm lucky to have friends like these :)

Here is a little boy but
hes a man at heart
a thousand lives in one
and a million dollar smile

as he opened his eyes to life
the world had weird plans
he made them all his own
and made it his lil song

he carries the burden of hopes
and gives the love of two
he sees dreams with his ears
for his eyes were spent on her too

he likes to fight the bad boys
find the monsters in the house
one part of him is a tiger
in another Superman resides

I stop and start to wonder
life and I are so far apart
Stranded in these moments of truth
I just loop back to the start

Here is our lil boy but
hes a man at heart
a  thousand lives in one
and with a priceless smile

(Aarav doesn't yet understand the concept of dreams, so he bluffs when I ask him about them. He says every morning that he had dreams in his ears:) I find it so cute that I don't correct him...I had mentioned this to my friend once...and he remembered to capture it here)

Drawn To You

Let’s shed the burdens of our past and the pretense of our future, and make love in this moment.

You may not be you tomorrow, and I may not want what I want today.

But this moment belongs to us, to our love. So take off everything about you, and come to me as only you. I am drawn, and nothing else will do. This love will be eternal, even if we may not.  

God

I try to know you. But my job is to just believe. The more I try to unravel you, the farther I feel from you. The farther I feel from you, the farther I feel from me. You are even when you're not. To believe in you is to believe in me. You are my faith. My faith is you. You are in me. I am in you. 

To love you, I have to love me and mine. I feel you in everything I feel. And isn't that the only way to know you? 

I kept looking for you in idols of clay and temples of stone. But I found you in fleeting moments. 

I tried to listen for you in chiming bells. But I heard you in my child's giggle. 

I wanted to talk to you via chants and prayers. I finally spoke to you via introspection. 

I wanted to understand you through science or religion. But I could only reach you through humanity. 

Promise Me

Even though our love is forever

This is where we must part

But before we kiss goodbye

Promise me…

Promise me I’ll always be your gal

Life’s a ruthless terrain

She snatches from us those we love

But before we move on

Promise me…

Promise me I’ll always be your gal

We’ll soon find love again

Only memories will still last

But before we part forever

Promise me…

Promise me I’ll always be your gal

Your promise will be my reason

To move on with a hopeful heart

And give love another chance

Coz even though everything else may change

I’ll know I’m still your gal. 

The Canadian Winter

The 7 day forecast :

Day 1 – Freezing rain with temperatures that feel like -25 C. Be sure to get out for a walk as this may very possibly be the best day of the year yet! In case you slip and fall due to slippery roads, get right up and keep walking ‘cause that’s what Canadians do!

Day 2 – Snow storm with upto 15 cm of snow within 2 hours. This should be fun as the snow has chosen to hit right during the 2 peak hours of the morning commute. So we can rest easy we won’t miss a thing!

Day 3 – Cloudy with a chance of flurries. There is an extreme cold alert in effect all day. Temperatures could drop to – 35 C, feeling like -42 C. Please wear warm clothing when heading outdoors to avoid instant frostbite. Yes, we need to tell you that in case you’d forgotten.

Day 4 -  90% chance of severe thunderstorms and 50+ mm of rain, accompanied by gusty winds that could greatly reduce visibility on roads. Rest of everything is work as usual.

Day 5 – Yet another day of heavy snow and freezing temperatures. Keep those shovels handy! Oh, and don’t forget to dress warmly.

Day 6 – Seriously? You still care??

Day 7 – Spring is finally here!! And it’s only mid-April yet! Temperatures could be as high as 0 C (feels like -5 C) !! A great day to head outdoors and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. 

International Womens' Day

Here's to all the strong women, trying to hold it all together and succeeding at it. I'm proud to be one of them. Happy Womens' Day.

Roothi hui khwaishon mein thodi si sulah leke
Aaya tu khamoshiyon mein, baaton ki chirah leke
Khoya tha samundaron mein, tanha safeena mera
Saahilon pe aaya hai tu jaane kis tarah haan leke
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Ab kya hai kehna, humko hai rehna
Jannatein bhula ke teri baahon mein panah leke
Faili thi siyaah raatein, aaya tu subah leke
Khamakha si zindagi mein jeene ki wajah leke


What beautiful lyrics! Amitabh Bhattacharya: I've been a fan ever since I had heard songs from Lootera. So refreshing to see such talent.  Love this song.

To Valentine's Day (clink!)

From a bird's eye view you can see it
It's sublime and it's absurd
You can buy it and you can sell it
But nobody's figured how to make it work

You can talk about it like a loyal, you can call it a curse
But in the end it's all buried treasure underneath the mud
It'll bring you down to earth
Love is a dirty word

You get blind and you get burned
Hoping you don't get hurt
But it brings you down to earth
Love is a dirty word

(Jason Collett - Love is a dirty word)

In the thick of Winter...

It's a strange disappearance
It's a real mystery
Is he asleep in the snow
And does he feel free
There's a person he once was, in a place far away
It's so cold in this country
October to May

Good luck bad luck survival
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survival
