15 years back - The Last Letter

He tried to hide himself, when he was being chased ..
Taking out a paper from the bag around his waist ..
He scribbled something with shaking hands in a haste ..
He knew his time had come, for he had been traced ..

His mind went back to the summer of the previous year ..
Her picture flashed before his eyes - crystal clear ..
She had said with a smile, hiding her tears ..
"Losing you is my biggest fear" ..
And then he had whispered holding her near ..
"I Promise .. In a few months, i will again be here" ..

And that was the last time he had seen his dear ..

But before the memories of his beloved, his home and his town ..
Could make him weak and break him down ..
He remembered an old promise he had made ..
Even if he had to die , the promise could never fade .. 

He carefully placed the letter beneath a stone ..
And then .. 'Jai Hind' he shouted in an untamed tone ..
Oozing with love for the country, vigor and passion ..
Loading his gun with bullets he charged towards the opposition ..
..............

15 years back - this soldier had paid his last tribute to the nation ..

And .. "Forgive me for I broke my promise , to keep another promise I had made"
 - his last letter to his wife read .. 

Live this day

                                                                        Live this day


Drop your worries about the unseen tomorrow ..

Live this Day , come out of Yesterday's Sorrow ..

Believe in Yourself , You can fight away challenges new ..

And You are not alone , I'll be there for you ..

Memories

In a way life is all about memories..its only memories that remains from your past , its only memories that you carry forward from your present , and its new memories you will form in your future..

When the world goes blind

Cruising through the streets on a winter night ..
A poor homeless kid at the roadside caught her sight ..
Starving and shivering in cold the kid looked for someone so kind ..
To give him a helping hand , but he couldn't find ..
And how could she be that 'someone' when the world had declined ..
Hence to this unfortunate poor being , she chose to be blind ..

Not so far ahead she saw a man weak and old ..
Who waited at the roadside fighting the cold ..
For someone to hold him and take him to the other side ..
He begged for help, but the world was too busy to guide ..
And how could she go against mankind ..
Hence to this weak and shaking being , she chose to be blind ..

Some distance away as she stopped at a red light ..
She saw a man drunk was trying to prove his might ..
As he pulled , slapped,  beat his wife and held her tight ..
The lady helplessly cried , people stopped hearing the noise ..
All paused for a moment but none raised his voice ..
Even she moved at green , leaving the lady behind ..
To this helpless and tortured lady , she chose to be blind ..

Moments later her bike slipped , throwing her on the street ..
With bleeding knees she cried for help as she tried to stand on her feet ..
With a spinning head she could see people look at her and move on ..
At that moment her mind went for a rewind ..
When people needed her help , she had denied ..

And people like her form the world ..
Now she could see them all , but to her pain .. the world was blind ..

Someone Somewhere Is Always Praying For You

Its Because Someone Somewhere Is Always Praying For You .. 

He Tried Harder

Every time he tried to score
They asked him to try once more
Next time he tried harder than before
But sadly he was shown the door..

He saw his peers climb up the ladder
He didn't give up ,he tried harder
Finally he succeeded ,caught up with his peers, after trying for years,
And now his peers were yet to learn what he had learnt from his failures..

The Mango Tree

Standing at the outskirts of the busy town ..
This gigantic beauty had been beaten down ..
By cycles of rain , thunder and storm ..
Been untouched for years it had lost its charm ..
Every brick and pillar proved it was too old ..
And such a house was worthy of being sold ..

Just as he finished his final tour of the chateau ..
His eyes caught something covered with overnight dew ..
Gallantly standing there - tall and bold with beauty sublime ..
This Mango tree had guarded the house all this time ..
Loaded with bulks of mangoes which the leaves couldn't conceal ..
Ripe and ready for the neighborhood kids to  steal ..

The very sight of the tree triggered in his brain ..
A walk down the sweet and fun-filled memory lane ..
He could see a ten year old kid climb up the tree ..
Devoid of troubles and worries .. he played around in glee ..
Fighting with his siblings to grab the best mango from the lot ..
And then sharing the same with them ,which tied them in an inseparable knot ..
They had promised each other - their friendship will forever last ..
"But people forget promises with time" and he grew up too fast ..

And in a moment he had a glance of his childhood days..
His childhood like a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces now falling in place  ..
All these memories were knit around the house and the tree ..
He realized something that until now he couldn't see ..
Each and every corner of the house bore a loving touch ..
Of his loved ones whom now he missed so much ..

He saw his kids running around the tree ..
The girl chased for mangoes as the boy tried to flee ..
With a smile in his face he said  ,"You were right", to his wife ..
"I cannot trade for money the priceless memories of my life " ..
