What do I have?

How would you know what do I have?
Only if you knew well, I have you
Like a source of life,
Without which - I'm who? Except for a mere existence!

Who ever thought, sun was nothing without its brilliance
Who thought that it can be the contrary too?
But when you ask, what I have?
There's no choice but to say - YOU!

Does it mean anything at all? Does it mean true -
That I'm nothing, but a mere existence
For nothing is eternal here,
But if our love is true!?

Alone I come, alone I go; so do you
Nothing I have, nothing shall I ever
But, like the brillance need sun and so does the sun
Likewise, You have me and I have you forever!

Empty life seems to end, and some hope
Like they say, always at the end of the tunnel
You and me together, will be nothing less
But a universe when we cuddle.

My doubt!!!

Is your daughter or son, a doctor, engineer or a lawyer? Are you happy about it? Are you making enough money and living out of the earnings? Are you sure you got them living their comfortable life? They are no more a burden or a hassle? But have you thought if they were serving right?

A stint with a group this evening in a small place called 4S- Chinese and Thai Restaurant, this evening, I countered a few young would be journalist/lawyers and I came across this young man mostly in his late twenties who went to the counter and played some Punjabi song, and I reluctantly insisted the manager to play a universal number as I  was little overwhelmed with Punjabi songs being a south Indian. He managed to get the number whilst my forgiveness to the young gentleman. However, he in his zest of enquiry asked me if that was universal enough? I replied humbly that it was universal enough for everyone in the house to enjoy the music and explained why Punjabi songs are overwhelming? His retort was- you Davidians should be separated?

Wow! I felt… Someone did mention Dravidians, and someone did talk about separation?

My immediate thought was perhaps to educate him about the efforts we Dravidians put to reach to the capital in the zest that we will contribute to the country however futile an effort and he went on to lie that I had slapped him and abused him during the argument?!

However strange that he also mentioned the long-standing bar tender to be Malayali and that he is a bar tender because he is incapable, in his zeal he forgets that he was there for more than a decade (14 yrs).

My question to you dear family and friends (NEWS) is if we are so different then what unites us? And if we are united why can’t we teach the same to our kids and coming generations? What is holding us back? Why I had to shed tears looking at this next gen journalist or lawyers, they lied right on face and in confident manner that I abused and physically misbehaved someone, while no one agreed but no one disagreed either!!! Did I come to The NATION’s CAPITAL for this? This humiliation and ill-treatment? Did I come here to be called dark and shabby? Does my skin or my labor determine who I am or does my patriotism mean anything at all? Who is to answer my question to this young “Do you know I am?” kids of the nation who don’t respect their own country and would love to see it divided that united?

 Give me an answer, so that I decide if I should do invest in bettering my country or bettering myself?

Tell me if I can be patriot or selfish to focus on my life alone and not betterment of nation in any way!

Show me more such facts that you want your homes safe, secure and intact and do not bother about your brother who’s dying in dire need of water!!!

Tell me in true sense we are living a life of kalyug and there is nothing satya about it!!!

Let me decide if I need friends with same cause or not!!!!!!!!!!!

Before you do- please don’t forget names like MK Gandhi, Shastri, Vivekanand, Subhash C Bose, CV Raman, Vishweshwarayya etc who contributed to this nation as a whole and not individual part of their belonging!!!

They were all what they were or the nation not because of the nation… Like they said and we believe “BE THE CHANGE You WANT TO SEE” don’t change for someone else..

Regards,

An Indian

I'm confused!

I'm always very confused

whenever you said "Let's Meet"

A little fussed and a little defused

Yet, till I meet I'm confused!

Should I look, the way I looked to you,

Or should I be “Me”?

Should I dress for your eyes or?

Should I dress for me?

A little Red or a little Pink,

What should be the color of my Lipstick?

Is it wine and dine or is it a patch?

Should I look bold or demeanor?

Is it esthetic or is it realistic?

Whatever it is, I think you get me confused!

Should I smile, or should I smirk?

What should it be when we meet again?

If its intelligent you won’t like, or would you?

If its stupid you won’t like, or would you?

Should I just smile and let it go,

or should I call back and ask, "how would you like?"

Whatever it is, I'm sure you get me confused.

Yet, I decide to walk this evening.

with my pride, that I'm meeting my love

Yet, this day brings me that feeling,

That I'm going to meet my love

Is it the separation that's lovely or this meeting?

Is it you or My coming back

Whatever it is, you get me confused!

To Decide

Did it take so long  to judge or to misjudge,
If I was the sunshine or burning sun,
or is this the gestation time within you,
to decide if I'm for a night or whole life?

Did it take so much to test or detest,
if I was Lily spreading pleasant fragrance,
or was I a Rose, deceiving beauty with thorns,

to decide if I'm for a night or whole life?

Is it the "ME" in you or "YOU" in me to question,
if all the breezy moment were lovely or stormy,
ocean's blue wasn't the color of the eye but
blues in your heart,
to decide if I'm for a night or whole life?
 

Does it take being emotional or emotionless,
to be one body- two soul, or does it take being "ME"
forever and ever, to decide
If this moment is Just or part of memorable Life?

It took me a moment- to look into those eyes,
to smile your smile and a subtle touch,

across the dining to decide- here 'He' is;
my MAN and my Life.
