A Prayer for You


I wish for you today - The sun shines 
Brighter for you, unlike any other day - before today. 
With harps of hope strumming to odes 
Of certain times of love & happiness ahead.

I wish for you today - A friend long lost,
Shall come back; to your surprise and heartfelt elation. 
And bring back those memories of summer days,
When you shared a cool lemonade or two.

I wish for you today - Strangers that smile
Unreasoned & unfettered. Let the birds & passer-by's 
Sing for you unbound; expressing their joyful excitement 
With placid thoughts in faith of our silent lord - almighty.

I wish for you today - A cup of tea;
You could sip by a placid street; that flatters your senses
To an instant churn of dancing temptations. 
I wish you a sip –a stolen moment, with you and yourself.

I wish for you today – A satisfying day; as it ends
Full of wishes fulfilled. A day as it ends in the light 
Of a starlit sky Where dreams are only reality doused 
In vivid colors, onto the canvas of life and its inconspicuous gifts.

I wish you sleep today, in assurance of a better day 
Tomorrow; where right’s and wrong’s are beyond you and are just 
Decisions you make which doeth not control who you are.
I wish for you today – Let tomorrow be a better day than today.

- Arun Raj

Men, take your Women more seriously !

Image
Conversation after conversation that I have engaged with women I have been privileged to have the company of in my life, I have observed one thing : the innate power of a woman to endure pain – physical and mental, is by far unmatchable by men. And this I feel makes them more divine than human. If most of them have learnt to live with it then it is not out of feeling physically insecure of surviving without men, but an ability to see things beyond a man's sensibility can perceive – unconditional love. Observe this in their fights and protests, they will always prefer to not cause pain and any induced suffering. In complete contrast would be a man's position, which is then to take to arms and battle it out. Very few men have been able to understand the value of the women to the society and stand for there cause – Gandhi, Vivekanada, Periyar, and many others. Even though to date their efforts have brought great relief to the oppression on our women, but still the silent battles r

The Rain was drenched in Love ...

It was just another day at office, but not just another day in my lifetime. It rained today. In Delhi, drenching in rain is a rare experience annually, which you cannot afford to miss out on. And, I personally being a rain freak manage quite effectively to see that, I do enjoy every drop of it. It puts me into a state of happiness only equivalent to the state of being in love. I was expecting rain to shower out pretty decently today. While in this state of love, I gave my sweetheart a call to see if she was available for a romantic evening: calling us to drench in it is showering. Being one of the first few dates out with her, it was always a challenge judging her responses. Also, as much as a confused and lazy soul like her, she tried to make up her mind on whether to come along or not. I always liked the challenge of getting her heavy-footed self to come out. While through this, I also felt she did bask in the attention too ... And then she concurs ... and now! I am elated!! It had

Conversations with Time [POEM]

What am I here to create That was not already here? What do I hope to gain  That has never been attained? What more meaning do I realise Beyond what stares into me right now? What loves - new or missed would matter To the lives that I never lived? What limitless things can I possess That possess me more than I them? What endless tomorrows await me That offer more than the limitless now? *** Painting: The Ninth Wave -    Ivan Aivazovsky
