Rain and Light speaks my life



Human life can be defined as a pendulum moving to and fro between a state where he/she wants a life full of comfort and the other state where the person wants to achieve something bigger. This poem is dedicated to that endless journey of human desires. Well I don't know what the reader can understand as it depends upon the perception. So the rest part is left for you to interpret. So here it goes



I walked this plain on a summer day
Oppressed,dreary full of stains
Far from home,desired running away
Yet no drops to wash my pain

Saw new faces; some pale a few bright
Just like drizzle before you arrive
Far from home on a sailor's plight
Waiting for drops to clench my thrive



And then you came;the leaves danced
Showers of blessing did the birds sing
Heart turned peacock; an aura tranced
Relieved of pains, antidote of sting


Days went by and so did nights
You were there for me, pouring unbroken
Turned me lazy, inanimate to coming fights
Dreams captivated me, aspirations unspoken

And so you blocked my pores
My roots turned pale again
I turned weak, fell into bores
Hoping of light, a desire in feign

Light marked a cusp of life
Leaving behind years of trench
Which washed away pain;even the slightest slife
Burning no more in the drops of blench


On this eve of farewell I say
O'hail thy rain for you wash stain
O'hail thy light for you victor vain
Till life turns narrow from bay

"A Strange" goodbye to Jorhat

Image
As the timeline speaks (23rd July 2010)"Welcome" --->"Goodbye"--->"Welcome back!!!"--->"Come back soon"--->............................--->"Farewell"(30th June 2014) --->"I am back!!"(16th July 2014) I left hostel with all my luggage on 30th June 2014 and travelled by bus to Guwahati. But I can't term it as a final goodbye because I was habituated to go by train and final semester results were still left to be served on the table. And so I had to come back. And so did me on 16th July 2014. On reaching Jorhat, I found that I had kept my spectacles and mobile phone on the train which already left to Mariani. What a welcome!!!!!! I had no option but to catch a "magic" transport to Mariani Station. Meanwhile Ankit was on contact with the passengers who found my things. Finally, after an hour of unexpected tensions, I got my things back. I reached hostel at 9.30 AM. I felt as a "fresh...

The 'LionHearts' : Colours of Change

Image
12 th March 2017...this is just another usual day. Some people can call it a sleepy Sunday; for some it is a working day and to many in India it marks the initiation of Holi, the festival of colours. But for me this day brings much more in the form of thoughts that cease to exist in this busy-busy life. These thoughts mostly surround the life of a child who “lost his spring” even before he was allowed to do so. A child, who came into this world in rags and destined to leave the world in same; a child, who played with rocks, sand and fire instead of toys; a child, whose sole purpose was to win bread from the leftovers for his family of 6. While running towards maturity at a tender age, one day the child forgets his way to home; he is lost. The untouched born entity now becomes bait for the world to consume. There are quite a many but repetitive paths that he might fall into. The well known among them is “ Child trafficking ”. Courtesy: Google images Lost his way, the child ...

En route to the ruins of Hampi

Image
Ankit : Oye yaar! Long weekend a raha hai ...chal Hampi chalte hai! Me : Ha yaar! 26 th ko Republic Day, 27 th ko I will fall sick and 28 th , 29 th is a weekend. Ankit : Sourav ko call lagata hu. Accomodation and transport ka bhi pata karna hai. Me : Ha yaar thore kapre bhi lene hai!! Well I would describe this trip to be the best among all so far, the reason being the misfortune that didn’t accompany us along. The journey kick started on 26 th January’17 and Sugama Travels was all set to begin at 10:30 pm from Bengaluru. Surprisingly it began with less selfies. We reached Hosapete (14kms from Hampi) the next morning at 5.30 am. At that very instant we were surrounded by a swarm of auto drivers, willing to take us to Hampi at a whopping price of 500 rupees only!! At a few yards distance, we found JSW Vijaynagar Bus Terminal. Buses ply from Hosapete at Platform no. 12 from 6:00 am onwards, charging 13 rupees per head. After a 30 minutes bus ride, we reached Hampi ...
