Photograph

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
Times forever frozen still

CRY

Cry because You are alive
Cry because you are connected
Cry because you are moved
Cry because you are impacted
Cry because something within you is touched & moved  .

I never felt its a show of weekness or its being too emotional .
If the saying is ...fools cry ....its good to be a fool .
Its always special and tears come only when the deepest string within is touched .

Love Me Like You'll Never See Me Again

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was I everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I've been looking for

I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted
The time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day here's not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

How many really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it?
That it's everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
And you're beside me
I'm so thankful that I found
Everything that I've been looking for

She is Awake

sweet sweet baru
my little bawl of jadu
running singing all around
she knows the trick now
when papa would be in mood to accept
her twinkle twinkle demand

Days are off when she sleeps
10 minutes early , be ready
the storm is about to creep
see ...she is awake and bright
will set everything , everywhere , right

Being Silly Is Good At Times

I am in my forties , doing most of the serious work which generally a guy in my age does .

I used to love and sing ghazals and meaningful serous songs of Mohd Rafi , Mehandi Hasan . I also loved classical music of Rashid khan , Bhimsen Joshi , Girija Devi .

But there is still some part which is too silly and abnormal and I keep doing every moment now .

• I sing daddy finger , daddy finger

• I sing johny jonhy yes papa

• I sing 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed

• I sing barish barish jao na

Seems so silly & childish  , but to my surprise , I love rhyming this with my 3 year old daughter Baru

I somehow feel Baru is very close to my mother , in the sense her act were too at times , un-realistic , un-reasonable and un-logical .

And ....Life should be meant for this ,

Happy Family

This picture says it all . All family memories are the best times that we spent together . We are close nit family . God gave me all of them.

When a family begins to mature, that potential loss of connection, that feeling of something changing, is difficult to confront. And then comes the idea of feeling connected , it becomes very reinforcing, to all of us, and it contributes to happiness and base for survival . After all we are build up of our memories and if its sunny , happy and bright , life becomes a bit easy .

Happy Anniversary

It is because of your love and respect for each other , that we have been able to live with so much harmony. To parents who I love so dearly, wish you both a happy anniversary Maa Papa .
