What colour Wrapper on your gift box?

In a distant light I see a yellow gift box..
with a red ribbon
with a card
with a smile...
It's glowing in the sunshine.. but there is a distance between us...of time.

Uncertainty wrapped in the colours of philosophy is given to each one of us in ways of dreams, pictures, of goals, in forms of tried and tested belief
and it is for that one yellow gift box that we are always asked to give way to new beginnings, to forget the gifts that remained unopened in the past and turn towards the new, the waiting.

Always told.. 'everything happens for the best'... but no one knows what 'best' is... or does 'best' even exist?
is it not that as we move on, we learn to cherish and respect what we get and adapt. Maybe it is 'adaptation' that was shown to us as being the 'best'...
Maybe 'adaptation' is the 'yellow gift box'.

Nobody will ever know what lies ahead, nobody... all the predictions and the assurances are given on the basis of what happened in the past, time and again,the basis- what usually always happened.., hence it isn't important that if someone found the yellow gift box each time in their future... we to have to find it in ours. No!

Be ready for a red , a blue , or even a black gift box... maybe this time things will happen differently... maybe this time the 'usual' won't be...

It takes lots of courage and strength to see change. Even if a thousand verses are written & sung since centuries praying for change, yet in the heart of hearts It is only the yellow gift box being wished for ... once again just the same yellow gift box.

And even If I do cover the distance of time and find myself a pretty pink gift box instead...Surely a hypocritical philosopher would pop up and sing..
"Oh!The Pretty pink Gift Box we always knew of
Ah! the yellow one was just a jinx
The old times never go wrong
We made you wish for the yellow gift box
But in the end the best colour be Pretty Pink !

Within the Red Brick walls

I stood outside the red brick wall that was high
looking at the gate, I had heard stories that were knitted inside.
Very soon I would be a new ball of yarn
very soon I would be unwound and rolled
across the red brick wall that was high.So here I was finally inside the gate
My unsure eyes needed assurance beside
never had I let myself take on to the world
but I heard this is where wings get unfurled.
Further I went .. further inside what the red brick walls contained
Far inside I found a small key to the long awaiting trail....
one by one picking on the clues laid on the way I,
found more than one door to the treasure
that the red brick walls seemed to hold.With a pounding heart I peeped inside each door
behind each I struck small mounds of precious gold.
Inside those red brick walls I found gold promising to
laugh along with me even in the times of rust
Inside those high red brick walls I found gold pledging to
teach me the difference between diamonds and dust
Inside those brick walls I found gold assuring me returns higher than anything one could ever give
Those red brick walls changed the directions of my future
I thought I would live...
Ran a thousand miles in the corridors with
so many reasons to smile
Sat on the grass to share little thoughts every once in a while.
Jumped up the stairs hearing any frantic calling
The red brick walls had made us fearless of
falling...
In this little speck of time the red brick walls gifted me lessons to keep
from an uncertain shiver...I became the girl with beliefs so deep..
All this while never realized it would be over so soon
Thinking We'll see each other after every restless month of June
Alas! Indeed it is time to come out of the red brick walls
Its time to show the world Why they are so high.
Why those walls so humble yet so tall!

Say yes... and "Yes" Life would keep saying "Yes" to you...

And just once say "NO"... All the dreams above would come crashing down
"Oh No!" :O :P

In solitude longing for all that could never be ours

in solitude as the seconds creep and crawl into hours..

it is in solitude when we jump into the depth of our darkest hollow... in the restless solitude...

as we tend to forget the word 'tommorrow"

I think my mind out when the silence sits with me in solitude

as the lights of the stars flicker as if to mock my insanity

looking out of the window, its a ghosts world or is it just me against humanity

yesterday was bright , daytime shone in its wakefulness

I see it in slumber now, dreaming in solitude... of the word "tommorrow" ....

a whirlpool of desires washing up the veins

in solitude , we become like the horse without the reins

whisper in my eyes the colours you wish to see now

I know you want the picture painted before its "tommorow"

do you still wish to cry in solitude

tell me how many times would you like to drown

isn't it time u let go the solitude

and allow it to find its way into "tommorow"...leave it now .. leave it alone..

I wish you were mine coz then I have a plan
how amazing life would be, yeah! I have a brilliant plan
I would see you each day... we would watch the sun turn shy
with all the dreamy colors we would paint rainbows on the sky
Would you like to go dip in the river, or else I got plan B
With honey, bread and a kiss we could just lie under the tree
I never knew I wished u to be mine...
just a moment ago I felt this feeling so divine
Love is like a whiff of air .. its gone before you can touch
Time's running away so fast.. I wish I could love you so much
I've been there before.. even then I had got a plan
but with you...I wish i could have you forever.. as much as I can..
but even if we never meet...the love in my treasure I'll keep
and then if someday u come by looking for our plan...
dig into my heart.. way down... very deep.
