move

all the glittering glistening stars
like candles in the sky
once they will cease to move
they wil
perish
&
die...

aray haan

what i had in mind was to share this poem i received in a text message =p
awww it is so touching & ....

around the corner i have a friend
in this city that has no end
the days go by & weeks rush on
& before i know a year has gone 

i never see my old friend's face
for life now has swift pace
he knows i like him just as well
as in the days when i rang his bell

in times when we were younger when
but now we are busy tired men
tired of playing a foolish game
tired of trying to make a name

tomorrow i say i'll call on him
just to show that i am thinking of him
but tomorrow comes & goes
& distance between us grows & grows

around the corner, yet miles away
here's a telegram: sir he died today
that's what we get & deserve in the end
around the corner, A VANISHED FRIEND....

of sacrifice && big hearts

today i was just lazing around when my maid`s daughter (who has just passed her matriculation) came running to me 
` mujey buhattt zore say current para eh- bazu & tango may dard b shuru hogya eh`


i had no idea what to do=/
 i told her to put her hands on earth & rubbed her a bit-
 not knowing what else to do i told her to go & send her sister over to finish up the chores.


she replied everything is done but that the fridge needs to be powered on-
i went over to inspect it- 
i said okay u go i`ll do it with some cloth etc-
i was about to touch it with my dupatta when she at-once cried out
` nai nai ap na karen mein kerti hun`


i was so overwhelmingly touched
how can mere financial status define or mark the importance of human lives????
did she think of herself as less valuable -


anyway, the brave little girlie plugged it in-
&& 
to my utter disappointment: i did not step in for her, although i could see that, her clothes were still wet from washing the floors,i knew she was victimized a few minutes back & might be terrified this time or that she is way younger than me 
=/
i am selfish-


may be that is what poverty do- distinguish between selfishness && selflessness 
                                                                            or bravery && cowardice 
i am still touched by her sacrifice may God shower her with his mercy & forgiveness
                                                                                               && eternal bounties - amen
