On the question of race

This is so very surprising that what does one has to do with one's ethnicity or race when it comes to Job Applications. I had to answer these questions everywhere I applied for jobs. Strange, Who say's only UK is racist, US of A and Canada stand equally!!!!

They ask me to write down
My race and I think
And think very seriously
And consider writing down the
Truth and have my answer read

I have respect in me
I have love in me
I share my respect and love with everyone
Especially to my close ones
There is love and respect
Inside my body

I am a part of a beautiful culture
I am a part of a caring culture
My culture is very lovely
Much different from here
There we die for each other
Here we are on our own
Caring nature from my background
Inside my body

I have a wonderful family
I have wonderful friends
Without them, I am nothing
Without them, I am no one
I am loner in the heart
Without their love
Without them, I have a lost soul
Inside my body

I have a dream, which I can fulfill
I have a will, which I can fulfill
Which I could have fulfilled in India
But in Canada, thought a land of opportunities
I can see myself somewhere
But its not like India
I miss my mother’s food
I miss my friends
But I made new friends here
My lost soul, feeling full
Inside my body

I have experienced education in India
I have started experienced education here
It is different in India
There teachers asked for homework
They cared about us
Here, we are on our own
It is our choice to come class
I feel useless here
Inside my body

They ask me to write down
My race and I think
And think very seriously
And consider writing down the
Truth and have my answer read

I have a need
I have a want
I look for love in these people
Did I get what I Want???
Indeed only in a few people
I feel happy
Inside my body

I have a desire
I have a will
To become part of this country
Yet, have my values be part of me
I hope this will be possible
For many say they change
Even if I become Canadian like the others
My soul will remain Indian
My heart will remain Indian
My blood will remain Indian
And I will die Indian
Inside my body

I’m just a Woman…

A woman needs to be assured
In each and every way,
She needs the warmth of loving words
That only you can say.

She needs a lot of understanding …
When she’s feeling somewhat down.
She needs for you to make her smile,
And take away her frown.

A woman’s heart is fragile
Her feelings are that way too,
Times she feels so sad inside,
Not knowing what to do.

It’s hard to be a woman,
Misunderstood in many ways,
Sometimes all it takes to help,
Is a loving word, to make her day.

She needs to know that she’s the one,
That fills your heart with desire,
She needs to be told often,
That she sets your soul on fire.

She needs that soft and tender touch
As if she were a fragile rose,
And feel that she’s so special.
From all others, you could have chose.

She needs to hear, “I Love you”,
Whether close or miles apart,
She needs to know… she’s the one,
That’s the center of your heart.

So, please listen when I need to talk,
Please kiss away my tears,
Let me share my worries with you,
And help me face my fears.

Just my thoughts put in words by some1 else!!!

This is a poem on Radhika’s blog.

If I ever say goodbye
Please don’t ask me, why???
But if ever you do the same,
I’ll readily take all the blame

If ever I decide to forget you,
I’ll erase your memory too
But if ever you do the same,
I’ll see to it you never forget my name!!

If ever in life we meet
I guess the memories would be sweet
But if destiny has something else in store
That certainly would be sweeter, I’m sure!!!

I had a few things or rather thoughts something like the above but was wondering if I would able to put those in words. Or to some extend I have actually put those words above in practice, specially the last 2 para’s. hehe I know I am such a……….. I am fed up of writing to much of philosophy on my blog, so lets have fun reading something practical and much more realistic.

Within Me

Scarlet lips as red as a rose,
perfect hips in a seductive pose.
On the outside this is what people want me to be,
but what about looking at the heart within me.

Long black hair, surrounding my face,
baby blue eyes and full of grace.
This is what most men chase,
but my soul and feelings cannot be erased.

Long, untouched legs with a snug fitting skirt,
a short and sexy tube top shirt,
I would take my looks with little pride,
for what I care about is what's inside.

They say that these looks are a sensation,
that I am one of God's best creations,
But all I really want is for you to see,
all the good that is within me.

Silence Speaks a Thousand Words

When I asked you,
You said nothing was wrong.
But when I listened to your magical song,
All its notes were gone.
You sang it… I heard,
Silence speaks a thousand words.

You keep telling me, I’ll pay the price
For asking you once and telling you twice.
But I paid heavily,
The day your emotions turned cold,
Silence speaks a thousand words.

Where do I turn when you turn away?
Its never just the things you say.
You never put me down,
But when I speak you turn around,
And not saying much is saying a lot.

If you spoke the truth, there’d be no doubt,
But your only words are, “we’ll work it out.”
Well, that’s not saying much,
You just don’t give your time,
And that’s where I draw the line.

You’re sending signals,
First of hope, then of insecurity.
Signals of doubt are everywhere and
Subconsciously….
You know you wanna break the ties,
But you use silence, you use lies,
Don’t worry, I’ll return your song of silence,
For silence speaks a thousand words.

Finally Nikki is in Mumbai… she gave me a nice surprise when I reached lonavala and now we are together after 6 months.

I really don’t know how many people actually believe and can read n understand silence but as far as we are concerned we talk the language of silence… I know people who know us wud laugh coz we both are extremely talkative.. Total chatter box.

But another side to us tht most of them don’t know…our silence… for us silence is a state when eyes speak more n heart starts listening and life seems to be more exciting when some1 start reading ur eyes silently. A person, who truly knows u, is some1 who sees pain in ur eyes, while everyone else still believes in the on ur face. It’s been two days tht we are together but lot of things hv been said with silence.

Though lonavala was not much fun coz it was really warm n no rains so we decided to get back today itself and are Nikki’s place. Mumbai’s weather is just perfect. We hv been sitting on the terrace getting wet in the rain…. The dialogue really fits in well “main aur meri tanhai aksar baat kiya karte hain”… hehe

For us, Silence has lot to it, it’s the only expression which has wht some people called emotions, feelings, actions, words rather most of the abstract nouns. I consider silence to be really strong coz only in its presence u get to discover urself, gives u answers to lotta question, is the best answer when u don’t want to answer questions. It depicts strong emotions like anger, love, hatred, jealously, fear, grief. It’s in silence tht ur head n heart are most active, give u ur space to reach out to urself.

Silence definitely speaks a thousand words and silence is more powerful then words who understand the silence!!!!
I just heard Nikki saying to this word silence – “Toofan aane se pehle aksar khamoshi aur shanti hoti hain” – we gals are too filmy naa

A Thought Of You

This was one of the very early peoms we wrote.. yea it was like some 6 yrs back when i n nikki were trying to write something romantic, there are a few lines stolen from some book but they are mixed some of our words... writing this because today just felt like reading it again after i spoke to nikki some time back...

My kind of music,
My favorite song,
I want to be with you
All day & all night long...

A spring breeze,
A summer sun,
Now that I know you
You are my one...

A winter sparkle,
An autumn tree,
Added all up
It equals to you & me...

My best friend,
My only lover,
From here on out
I'll keep you forever...

A good laugh,
With some happy tears,
You're the one I go to
Through all the coming years...

When it rains it rains,
When it snows it snows,I
wrote this specially for you
& you're the only one who knows...

You keep me warm,
When I'm so cold,
As if my heart were for sale
To you it was sold...

Whether playing our favorite games,
Or to music we sing & listen,
When it comes to you
There's just no competition...

Not the best cut diamonds,
Or the reddest rose,
Could ever amount to
When you hold me close...

& when everything is said & done,
The night is over & we've had our fun,
Out of all the men I choose just one,
The best one of all & that's you Hun.

(tht Hun is honney but wasnt fitting in with the rythmn so our stupid innovation)
Cheers babes... come soon yaar... i m now going to hv some sleepless nights, cant wait to see u n talk to u... hehe u know it

Tanha...

A small hindi poem.... arrz kiya hain

Jism tadpa hai khak par tanha,
Rooh karti rahi safar tanha,
Neend walon ko kya khabar iski,
Koun jaaga hai raat bhar tanha.

Log soye the band kamron mein,
Chaand bhatka hai dar badar tanha,
Saath deta hai koun manzil tak,
Saath chalti hai rah guzar tanha.

Shehar ka shehar bujhta jaata hai,
Ja raha tha woh apne ghar tanha,
Ae gham e zindgi ke raat ke chand,
Dhoond mujhko nagar nagar tanha.

Woh jo hansta tha haal-e-dil pe kabhi tanha,
Ro pada khud ko dekh kar tanha,
Bhool kar apne husn ke aadaab,
Mere dil mein kabhi utar tanha.

Yeh aaye hazaar shehar mujhe,
Jab bhi dekha koi khandar tanha,
Is bhare shahar mein kabhi,
Anjaan tha koi magar tanha...!

Write To Me

Write to me, he whispered in my ear.
Tell me all the things that you know I want to hear.
Tell me how you dream of us and how I hold you tight.
Tell me how I love you all through the night.
Let me know how much you burn with desire.
Let me feel what you feel, and share in your fire.
Say you want my kisses and my gentle touch.
Say you love my hands on you, and want me very much.
Show me on paper just what I mean to you.
Show me all the things that you want me to do.
Write me a letter, he whispered in my ear.
Then I will write and tell you what you want to hear.

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Miss You

You are there
and I am here
thinking about how much I love you
thinking about how much
I respect you
thinking about how much
I miss you

You are there and I am here
I cannot wait until we are together again
thinking about how I will appreciate
more than ever
the time we will spend together



You don't know
how much I miss you
I live each day as it comes
functioning in all my tasks
smiling when needed
even laughing at times
but inside I am so alone
each minute seems like an hour
each hour seems like a day
What makes this time bearable
are my thoughts of you and
knowing that I will
be with you soon

For Us...

I have been writing a few things on & for everyone but never wrote something on us, though we’ve shared some really nice moments. so it definitely deserves a place in this cyberspace.. coz its where all started.. I took 2 days to write it n completed in ur presence… it just fits in so well… Thts for us KK…. Hehehe hahaha… Muaaahhhh

We blend our thoughts on paper
tho' true we've never met
words are written freely
never with regret

The miles that come between us
may be far and wide
yet we have a friendship
growing deep inside

Cyber hugs and kisses
we share throughout the day
love and understanding
in every single way

I'd really like to meet you
in some secluded place
where we can share those feelings
talking face to face

I hope you're in agreement
would really love a date
across the miles
I'm hoping'n feel it is our fate

WORDS WE SAID !!!!

Yes I am a keeper
You gave me things to keep
Thoughts, memories, words
All comfort in my sleep

We both chose those words
Keeper I don’t use lightly
Where do you keep yours
I think about mine nightly

The keeping lasts forever
Forever is what you said
Happy to have them with me
Each time I go to bed

Hope this is not in vain
A keeper I chose to be
Hope you hold the thoughts
I keep those sent to me

Remember what you said
Because I always do
A keeper of fond memories
Should last a lifetime through

A Hug

A hug is a wonderful gift to share,
A way to show each other that we care;
There is so much a hug is able to do,
When you feel those arms holding you.
A hug is a place to feel safe and warm,
A comfort for a sad heart that is torn;
An expression of the love in our heart,
For ones who we wish, never to be apart.

A hug is a greeting when we meet to say hello,
Or to say goodbye when we have to go;
It can hold us up when life gets us down,
And makes us smile, instead of frown.

A hug can be given for no reason at all,
And given to those, both big and small;
We're never too old to feel the joy it brings,
As it is one of life's most pleasing things.
And for all of this beauty, a hug is free!
It costs nothing, yet means so much to me;
We should all hug another to show we care,
For to feel a warm hug, nothing can compare.

Think Of Those Who Love You.

If someone should hurt you
and say a thing unkind,
Remember what I write to you,
and keep these thoughts in mind.

For everyone that makes you cry,
there are three to make you smile,
And a smile will last for a long,
long time, but a tear just a little while.

Don't let someone who hates the world
cause you to hate it too,
Behind the clouds is a Golden sun,
and a sky that's full of Blue.

If someone said a thing that's cruel,
don't let it get to you,
Your achievements are greatly numbered,
and your faults are very few.

So if a certain person should act a certain way,
Think of those who Love You.
And don't let it spoil your day!

State of Mind . . .

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't!
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't..

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind..

If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you 'll ever win the prize..

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the person who thinks he can . . .

Love You in Silence

You came into my life
Quietly, simply, tenderly...
The world stood stillI could not say a word
Nor a single gestured showed.

The feeling kept in my heart
So I've loved you in silence
Worshipped you from a distance
And dreamt of you so often.

I want to say I Love You,
But I'm afraid...Afraid that you'll just take it for granted.
In silence then, I'll just love you.
In silence I'll find...The fulfillment of my dreams.

She Won't Cry

You see the pain
that lies in her eyes,
But, alas, her eyes are dry,
She won't cry.No, she won't cry.

You see the anger
that burns from her gaze,
The madness that sets her eyes ablaze,
She won't cry.No, she won't cry.

You see the fear
that closes her eyes,
The smile she wears
is but a disguise,
She won't cry.No, she won't cry.

You see the hope
that is finally dead,
She cannot trust for her heart
has been bled,
She won't cry.No, she won't cry.

You see the love that lies within,
But she shall never love again,
She won't cry.No, she won't cry.

You see death's hand
that has glazed her eyes,
No one saw her die inside,
They won't cry.No, they won't cry.

GRADUATION and BEYOND

Life is enjoyed most
When we complete big tasks,
And graduating from college
Often provides us with a thrill that lasts.

Saying goodbye to friends
that we may not see again,
gives way to our respective futures,
and career opportunities without end.

Of course, professors should be remembered too
But the things that are probably remembered
most,
Are the ideas discovered, and the problems solved,
Which were only achieved, thanks to our own great resolve.

Truly, what lies ahead may seem very uncertain,
But life well go on, as we try to peek behind every curtain,
In many ways it's like Christmas again and again,
As we go through life's portals,
always trying to meet new friends.

And in the end when life is nearly through
And when we ask ourselves what more do we
need to do,
The answer that should come is that It was
all good,
And that we really did get done all the
things that we should.

Smile..

Smile is an infection
you catch it like a flu
when some one smiled at me 2day,
I started smiling too.

I passed arround the corner,
and someone saw my grin,
when he smiled i realized
I'd passed it to him.
I thought about that smile
Then i Realized its worth,
A single smile ,just like mine
could travel round the earth.

SO if u feel a smile begin
don't leave it undetected
Let's start the epidemic quick
And get the world infected !!!!!
