I wish someone could answer all my questions
The why's and why nots of life
The where , when and how?
It seems simple doesnt it
Then why dont I have answers

Certain things are better left unsaid
Better left unexplained
For it is for me to understand
For it is for me to explain
I may be at a loss
But there is always a reason behind
That eludes me skillfuly

Will I ever know?
Will He ever tell me?
Where are my signs?

I wanted to fly high
I wanted to ride the waves
I wanted to feel the high
I wanted to live my life

Now I want to leave it all behind
Closing a chapter of life
I want to start anew
Let me make it up to you

I haven't been there
I know, I know
I never wanted to
I was happy being mine

I didn't have the time
I didn't bother to make time
I was on my own
I was away from it all

Lets start now
Before I change my mind
Let me be there
Let me be with you

Let me see them grow
Let me hold their hands
Let me see them laugh
Let me see them cry

We'll get along fine
We'll chase the butterflies as it dawns
We'll chase the shadows by the dark
I'll hold them tight lest I go away again
I won't , I can't
I want to be there
I will be there

Give me a chance
I won't let you down
I promise

Cheers

What do all these expressions mean?



She (Hands covering the mouth) : "You haven't changed!!!!!!"



When will you ever change!!!!!



She : "Oohh...what a cute kid!!!"



I have to see his dad!!!!!



He(sad look): " Sorry , I wasn't able to make it"

She : " No, that's okay.No problem"



"I didn't want you to come in the first place, you loser"



He(all excited) : "C'mon lets get started"

She(send up a silent prayer) : "Sure darling"


Oh no! Not again

She: How do you want your burger - medium or rare?

He: Oh I'm fine with anything dear!

Does that mean you know the difference?God Help.

X ( with a heavy Spanish accent) :"Sorry about that. I don't speak good english. I am poor at it"

Me ( Indian accent ofcourse! No! Don't get me wrong. Simple Indian! Not the Americanised " so doood, wassszzzup" accent) : " That's okay. No problem. Please put me on to Mr X"

I am on the phone waiting to be routed to Mr X. What a long wait. The incessant tune at the other end gets on my nerves. La La La La La. Am waiting. 2...3....4......5.....the clock keeps ticking away. X comes back on the line.

X : "Sorry Madammee(pause)....but he iz not there. (Long Pause) Call later?"

Me: "oh:( Sure. Thanks. I'll try tomorrow"

X:Sorry. I speak no english.

Me: Thanks, I'll try tomorrow. Bye

How many of us Indians would openly admit to not being able to speak good english. Not many I suppose. Do we take pride in being able to speak fluently in our mother tongue. Not many hands will go up now either. The Queens english. That was what we wanted to master. American English, without the G's. How you doing man! That's what we speak now. Not a sentence goes w/o being peppered abundantly with 'like'. So I was like....' damn how could you do that'

Well well well. I don't know if its a passing phase or if further generations will end up not being able to understand, converse or write in their mother tongue.

Anybody answers?

I stand there
As a new day dawns
My feet burried deep in the sand
Waves curl up to trace the feet
As they doff the sand
I dig my feet further deep
The waves curl up yet again
Let's not change
Let's be the same

Etched in the sands of time
Memories linger on
Different paths we have tread
Different experiences we have to share
Tides of time attempt to wash away the past
To make it none, but a speck in the distant past
Let's not change
Let's be the same

I'll go through it with you
The bond won't gather dust
I promise!
Matters of the heart or the head
A whoop of joy or a word of regret
The first to know
You have always been
Will always be
I promise!

Something is missing
Yet everything is just so right
So much to look forward to
The highest of the highs
The lowest of the lows
We've just started
A long way to go
Still.................

The road may go two ways
We may choose to go different ways
To chase our dreams
To live the one life that we have to live
Eternal optimists we will remain
Drawing inspiration from everybody
As the world around continues to spin!

Laughing at silly nothings
That only we will understand
Slapping our knees over a cup of coffee
As memories of the past weave in and out
Talking at the top of our voices
Laughter ringing out loud in the cafe
While people around us wonder if we've gone beserk

Talk
Of school days, college, work et al
Of little nothings
Of the innumerable crushes that we have had
Of life
Of what lies ahead
Of what's in store
Of what's over
Of what we could have done right in the past
Of what went wrong
Of anxieties and worries
Of dreams and desires
Of hopes
Of us and the rest of the world
Of how abnormal we are
Of how normal the rest of the world is
Of everything and anything

Carefree days may be long gone
Replaced by a sense of responsibility
Towards ourselves
And to the people whom we love

Miles apart
Yet etched are the memories
But a phone call away
We'll keep in touch!!!

I promise:)

Either this way or that
She leaves it vague
She leaves it unanswered
Open-ended it remains
A bit too mystifying

Words remain as thoughts
Lest she hurt someone
Lest she hurt herself
Better left unsaid
Untouched it is
Untouched it will be

With her it will go to the grave
Secrets, anything but ephemeral
Unless expressions give it all away
Unless she can't take it anymore
Unless she gets the courage to confront it
Unless she is forced to admit it
Unless she finds someone she can share it with

Laughter fills the room
She is drawn away from her thoughts
She is all but 15!
She breaks out in a little victory dance
She gives them all a bear hug
Plants a kiss on her brother's forehead!
Only person to call family:(
'He deserves it all', she prides!
Smiles all around!
Cheer all around!

For a second, if only!
She forgets
That she had been a victim!
