Dance to express not impress, that's the saying,
Whatever dance form it is, each is amazing.

Watching someone dance well, is a treat to the eyes,
An instant connection one feels that give you highs.

Dance is my life, dance is my passion,
Every performance  of mine is a humble tribute to the dancing god Jackson.

I know I can dance a bit, that's a god's gift.
In relationship with dance for years now with no rift.

I dance like no body is watching, as if my soul is on fire,
I am a  bundle of energy, dance; you are what I require.

With dance I can express the best of me, it has been like this, thus far,
Its the beat and me, the two of us, no big superstar.

In dance, I find the path to happiness,
Practice and performances that's what gives me jolliness.

Dance is a blessing of god,  the divine grace,
It's a way, by which my spirit  and soul embrace.

DANCE IS MY SOUL..

You have the key to my heart

I had kept the door upon my heart closed for so long,

Scared that I might get hurt again , something might go wrong.

Thought never could I trust someone again,

Coz ,I have gone through a  lot of pain.

Allowing some one in was never part of my plan,

Was determined not to get too close in this life span.

I threw the key to my heart as far as I could, where probably none could find.

I kept myself deprived of love,  behind the closed door confined.

Everything looked bright  when u came into my life,

You completely changed the way I looked at love and life.

You came almost unnoticed and sealed your place,

All the darkness was vanished by the radiance of your face.

You had the key to my heart and you were here to stay,

I never imagined that things will turn out this way.

As I am typing this text,

I pray that you always stay in my heart, in this life and all next.

I am not done yet...

Let it Go...

Let go of the past, it is gone,

You can’t change it, how much ever you dwell on.

The more you think, the more it gets to you,

Negative thoughts in your mind begin to accrue.

What will you gain dwelling in the past?

It will tie you up and bring you down fast.

We live in today, why think of yesterday?

So now that you have smoked it, put off the butt in ashtray.

Saying let bygones be bygones, is so true,

So what’s the need to think, rethink and to construe?

Whatever have happened in the past happened for a reason,

That you take lessons from it, remember, his lordship; gives all salvation

Keep faith in Him and He will heal all your wounds,

He can show mercy which has no bounds.

Every day is new day, so start afresh.

Give it time, trust me, you will feel fresh.

Don’t be afraid of this whirlwind, it will subside.

The errors you have made, take it in your stride.

Be thankful to Him for the life He has given you,

It’s time to move on, make the most of it and pursue.

To My Pals.

Best Friends are rare; they stay for a lifetime,

In this mean bad world, your presence is like a lifeline.

Best friends are hard to find, like pearls in ocean,

This relationship is very deep, delicately woven by heartfelt emotions.

Memories with best friends are to be cherished forever,

Something which I take pride in, to treasure.

Times we have spent together are priceless,

If you guys were not by my side, my life would have missed liveliness.

****While you guys are reading this, I hope this poem of mine is not going rhyme less :)****

We can rely on each other in difficult times, lean on each other’s shoulders to cry on.

Like an angel we encourage one another to continue to fight on.

We are like brothers from another mother,

What I would have done, without you guys, I wonder.

We may go separate ways in our pursuit of happiness.

Our feelings for one another will never be void in emptiness.

I am thankful to you guys for being part of my life,I always dreamt of having friends like you,

Now that you have come into my life, I will hold on to you.

Dedicated to my pals: Vikash, Gaurav, Abhishek,Arindam,Sandeep,Rajeev,Anirban..

WE ARE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER..

Dreams....

“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them”.

                                                           -Walt Disney

                                                                               

Dreams are like oxygen for the human spirit that keeps us going. A life without dream is a life without purpose that leads nowhere. It’s like being inside a tunnel that is closed at both ends.  

By dreaming I don’t mean the dreams we see at night while sleeping and forget in the morning. Dreams to me are dreams that don’t let you sleep. Dreams are ambitions that you want to achieve in life.

With age our dreams change and it should. A dream could be about our near future or distant. In school, coming first in class or getting a good grade could be a child’s dream, while, during graduation it could be to get a job in your dream company, for some it could be entrepreneurship for some it could be further studies. While, for some it could be pursuing their passion. Whatever it is, you should not compare your dreams/goals with others. It’s not herd race, neither is it a rat race. Your dream is for you and you alone. Others may join you but this path has to be traversed by you.

When you are dreaming, you are setting a goal for yourself. You are seeing yourself in a state that will give you a sense of pride and contentment. You are visualizing yourself as a person that commands respect, love and adulation of other people. You want to see yourself leading an affluent life where you don’t need to bother about the trifle things in life and can focus on greater things.

You should always dare to dream. A person should show the below attributes to realize his dream:

D:  Doggedness

R:  Resolute

E:  Earnestness

A:  Assiduous

M: Motivated

When you dream, however big or small, you need to protect it, nurture it, you need to make sure you are constantly striving to convert that dream into reality. No dream is too big to be achieved if we channel our efforts in the right direction. You need to believe in yourself, that you can achieve it. You should not be afraid of obstacles that come your way in your quest to achieve something meaningful in life. No path to glory is a bed of roses.There is bound to be few failures en route to your success story.

If we check the biography of great people who have achieved big in their life, who have done something good for the world and society, their stories were also about overcoming failures before they got a taste of success.

Like I have said before, everyone should have a dream but we need to persevere till we accomplish our goal.

Success/fruits of hard work and perseverance are of utmost bliss that can last a lifetime.

Dream big and achieve it!!!!!!

Dedicated to my better half!!!

I am not very good at words..But I must tell you how much I adore u,how I feel when u are not beside me,how a moment spent without you looks like a mountain,how there is not a single moment of my life when i am not thinking about you,how the smile on your face when i have horribly spoiled our plans makes me relieved,how i love to fight with you over TV Remote,how reassured i feel when u tightly hug me when i feel lonely or hurt....I cannot thank you enough for choosing to be part of my life....it's different that,now,you are....My Life...... ""Kaun mera,mera kya tu lage""

You Complete Me...

A little bit of you, a little bit of me,

Has mystically created the word we.

A little bit mad, a little bit sane ,

A little bit of both aren’t we.

May be we are like chalk and cheese,

But being in each other's company puts us at ease.

You cover up my slip, don’t let me fall,

I let you be yourself and I know you will stand tall.

My smile makes your day, your eyes takes my worries away,

Hope this keeps all our troubles at bay.

I know I am crazy and little bit awkward,

Your warmth and compassion is what makes me go forward.

You make me smile, I try to remove all your crinkles with my guile.                          
    

I won’t tell you that I can’t live without you,

I won’t tell you that I would die if I don’t see you,

But I tell you this that my life missed purpose without you,

My heart skips a beat each time I don’t see you.

You were the missing piece in my jigsaw puzzle,

You are  the one who made me feel that love is so subtle.

Life is so beautiful with you by my side,

A bond that gives me pride.

A promise I make you today,

Come what may,

I will be with you through thick and thin,

I will never let you drop your chin.

I have given you my heart , I promise to give you all of me,

As I know you complete me….

Oye Guru!!

I think its time Sidhu should retire from cricket commentary,

Sir, We already had an overdose of your muhawaras, dohas and jargons...

|Praji, ab to baksh do hamein|

A Thank You Note!!

             

Scholars say, with old age comes second childhood. 

I am tensed Maa. I don't know if in your childhood I can be your walking stick in true sense like you used to hold me in your arms when i stumbled and tried to take my first few steps. 

I hope I could match the smile on your face that I used to see when you used to push a morsel of rice in my mouth after running behind me and conjuring away my antics.

I hope I can always stay awake the whole night when you don't feel well, like so many sleepless nights you have spent for me. 

There are countless reasons to thank you and feel grateful, for the things you have done for me.

Thank you for bringing me in this world and the innumerable sacrifices you have done for me.

Whatever I am today,whatever little I have become is because of your love and your blessings.

Please Maa, give me strength so that I can be what you were and have been to me.

I know like every mother who works all seven days a week with no holiday, everyday is the same and today is no different. You might not have time to read this too.

You already know how much I love and adore you. But for once i thought of penning my thoughts for you.

Love you Maa..You mean the world to me!!!

Day I met you...

He still remembers the day vividly when he first met her.Clad in a bengali benarasi sari, she looked humble and unpretentious. From distance, she looked girl next door.

After initial introduction between family members,they were asked to talk to each other for a while to get to know each other better.When she sat next to him, she put the platter on the table and gently withdrew her hand .He was watching keenly.There was an aura about her that he felt instantly.When he laid his eyes on her, he could immediately infer that her name befitted her.He also could feel an instant connection with her.

Couple of minutes passed and he couldn't wait to hear her voice.He broke the ice.Clearing his throat, he introduced himself. She spoke gently and her magical voice mesmerized him with each passing minute.They spoke for about an hour.It was hard to keep track of time, it was almost as if it had stopped.And, who cares about time when you are in good company.

He could feel the spark and instant attraction towards her that could not be explained in words.They did not discuss political issues, revolution or Shakespeare.They were in their own world, happy looking at each other and getting to know each other.They spoke about each other's liking, turn-offs, what they were looking for in each other and that they both understood that as it was arranged marriage it is gonna be union of two families. He could see the clarity in her thoughts, the way she precisely chose the words to explain almost everything.

May be saying spellbound would be exaggeration, but he literally felt goosebumps  each time she spoke.For the past hour, he was apprehensive whether she will like him, will she or not  say yes to tie the knot.

He really wanted her to be his soulmate come what may.

Then they parted for the day.Before he got inside the car, he looked back, there she was standing in the balcony.

He could see a glow on her face, a contented smile , a smile that told him inside , "KAKE, HASEE TO PHASEE..."

Meri Maa...You mean the world to me...

                                                                  

Bin bole,  tu sab samajh leti Maa..

Bin kahe mere, har taklife dur kar deti Maa.

Main ruthu to, mana leti tu..

Tu ruthe to khudh hi has deti tu.

Teri kahi batein, na bhula kabhi, na bhul paunga..

Tu hamesha kehti, zindagi mein achha insaan banna..

Jo achha insaan banein, uski kadar sabhi karte hya..

Aise insaan hi logon ko yaad rehte hya.

Jab kabhi dar lagta hya,jab kabhi har gaya hoon lagta hya..

Tera chehra yaad aata hya..

Jaise kehti tu, abhi to age ladna hya..

Abhi to age badna hya..

Abhi kai uchaiyan aur tujhe chuna hya.

Na dekha bhagwan ko kabhi, aisa kabhi na kahunga..

Usne bheja tujhe, is baat ka shukriyada haemsha karunga.

Teri anchal tale meri duniya basti hya..

Tere kadmon tale jannat dikhti hya.

Teri lori, teri hasi yaad aati mujhe..

Bankar ansu, keh rehi hya mujhe..

Tera layak beta ban pau bus, Aur aas nahi kuch aur mujhe.

Na chhod jaana tu mujhe kabhi, ruthkar..

Na jaana dur kabhi,tara bankar..

Yeh guzarish bus sun le meri..

Yeh akhri khwaish puri kar de meri!!!
