Would You Be Happier...

Have you ever wonder where the story ends, and how it all began, I do
Did you ever dream you were the movie star with popcorn in your hand, I did
Do you ever think you're someone else inside, when no one understands you are
And wanna disappear inside a dream but never wanna wake, wake uuuuuup
Then you stumble on tomorrow, and trip over today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine

Are you not afraid to tell your story now, when everyone is done it's too late
Was everything you've ever said or done not the way you planned, mistaaaake
So you promised that tomorrow, be different than today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine
You're gonna be just fine
So don't worry baby

You're racing for tomorrow, not finished with today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think you're gonna be just fine

Would we be happier if we were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if we played a bigger part
Would we be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think we're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine

Don't worry baby
Gonna be just fine
Don't worry honey
Gonna be just fine
Don't worry baby
Gonna be just fiiiiine

Let It Out LOUD...I aint afraid of Nobody

(Gathering Thoughts and Words from here and there)

How do I say goodbye to someone I never had?
Why do tears fall for someone who was never mine?
Why is it that I miss someone I was never with?
And I'll ask why I love someone whose love was never mine.

Don't come close if later you'll just pass by.
Don't smile if later you'll just let me cry.
Don't touch me if later you'll just walk away.
Don't love me if later you'll just leave and won't stay.

Sometimes we need to be hurt in order to grow.
We must fail in order to know.
We must lose in order to gain.
Some lessons are learned best through pain.

Watching you walk out of my life
doesn't make me bitter of cynical about love,
but rather it makes me wonder.
If I so much wanted to be with the wrong one,
how wonderful it will be when the right one comes along.

This too shall Pass!

I Believe

After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesnt mean leaning
and company doesnt mean security,
And you begin to learn that
kisses arent contracts and
presents arent promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn that even
sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really are strong,
And you really do have worth!

Destiny...destiny...destiny...

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny
but in ourselves.~William Shakespeare

Love does not begin and end
the way we seem to think it does.

Love is a battle,
love is a war;
love is a growing up.

Love takes off masks
that we fear we cannot live without
and know we cannot live within.

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice;
it is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to be achieved.

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.~Albert Einstein

What we call the beginning is often the end.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.
~T.S. Eliot

We never know the worth of water 'til the well is dry.

It's always better to have found the courage to love
even if you lose it in the end,
rather than never found love
because you were too afraid of the challenge.

That thing called...

There is this box
loaded with this 'thing'
i wouldnt sell whatsoever
even if hundred rupees it could bring!
I fight about it with my brothers,
and I never share it with others
filled with walnuts and cashew
for it many great fight ensue.
Mum is away at office and
the box seems to beckon
Come take the knife
and slice!
This time the knife makes a little cracky noise...
A whole slice this time,
into the mouth.
Oh the icing on top
and the icing in the middle
ohhhhhh oooo mmmmmm.
But now I can't stop myself
I cant stop the knife
I've got this great big chunk
and I'm cramming it in
what a greedy pig
but it's so nice!!!

And its hope...

Do you know what hope is?It's magic and it's free.It's not in a prescription. It's not in an IV. It punctuates our laughter.It sparkles in our tears. It simmers under sorrows.It dissipates our fears. Do you know what hope is?It's reaching past today. It's dreaming of tomorrow.....

It's trying a new way. It's pushing past impossible. It's pounding on the door. It's questioning the answer.It's always seeking more. It's rumours of a break.It's whispers of a cure. A roller coaster ride.Of remedies, unsure. Do you know what hope is? It's candy for the soul. It's perfume for the spirit. To share it makes you whole. Take my hand...come...Let's share this hope...together...



"I remember, wasn’t so long ago
We had a one room shack and the livin’ was low
And my mama by herself raised me and my bro
Wasn’t easy, but we did it with the little that go
Worked hard while the suckers cool every day
And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were gray
Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way
Now I really understood what she was tryin’ to say
She said, son there’ll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry
Just never give up
You can never give up,
uh-uh
In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
You can never give up
You can never give up
And this hope
That keep me holding on
On and on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on"

Gathering Life

I gather darkness from duskI gather light from dawnI gather the colour of autumn leavesI gather the vastness of the hillsI gather the depth of the seasIt is life, I gather in my stride…I gather the last rays of the setting sun I gather the first drops of the monsoon rainsI gather laughter as it tumbles down from lipsI gather teardrops from the corners of eyesI gather messages from friends long-partedI gather memories from the dear departedIt is life, I gather in my thoughts…

I gather voices from childhoodI gather sighs from youthI gather multitude from the rainbowI gather dewdrops from the flowersI gather dreams from the web of sleepI gather meanings from silencesI gather sanctity from prayerIt is life, I gather in my self…I gather wisdom from deathI gather glory from birthI gather hope from joysI gather strength from sorrowI gather the songs of the birdsI gather the smiles of the GodsI gather time that beats upon my heartI gather promises from a life to comeIt is life, I gather in my words…

Gone With The Wind

The Window



It seems like yesterday, that you were standing right outside my window calling out my name. “I’ll be right there!” I yelled back. ‘– …I’ll be right there…- ‘ those words will always haunt me. Was I always there for you? I’d never really know…I splash water on my face to break from this frozen trance. Its hopeless…No matter how hard I try, I can never really let go of you.

“Hey Kiddo!” I look up and there you are! Looking down at me with laughter in your sparkling brown eyes. I was always ‘kiddo’ for you; -Just one of the guys- as you liked to put it. But every moment of our friendship, I found myself falling all over in love with you.

So often I have restrained myself from drowning in those beautiful brown eyes.When it came to you, other guys didn’t sum up much. They never did. I was always looking for some one just like you, and no guy was good enough. You were my rock all through my teens. Almost like a supportive elder brother, all through my ups and downs.

So patient and such a good listener! A smile dawns up on my face (funny! I’d never thought you could smile and cry at the same time) when I remember telling you about my dream to become an engine driver as a kid, and you had replied a bus conductor was a better option. The way you used to snatch my heavy books and bags away leaving me agitated...I realise now, you didn't like seeing me carrying heavy things.

All those pranks we played, all those starry nights we gazed. There are so many memories that I’d want to relive and some others I wished had never happened.I wish I were there for you my friend! I wish I could take away all your pain. And gently tuck you in bed when you were so drowsy from all those medications. Just like you used to when I got hurt.

So many horrible tubes stuck onto your beautiful body…“HELLO!!!???? Anybody home????” you yell from outside “ Get moving! You lazy bum! Or we’re going to miss the Bus again today.”

Your voice breaks my train of thoughts. I smile and lean out of the window to reply that –I’ll be right there. And my eyes fall on the empty lawn below…
