Calling in for a celebrationary century!

Okay, here goes my hundredth poem/article/essay/story/critique. The big one will come soon for sure. And when it does, I might have a bigger grin on my face.

The hundredth one- this is not deliberate- but I have something to say- in fact, I was going to pen down something and luckily it is happening to be the hundredth one.

What I really am supposed to write is a poem for my friend- one of the many birthday poems that I write. Not really the hundredth kind of material that should really be, but, when I come to think about her, she is a celebration herself. And as I want to celebrate my century, let me celebrate it in the true sense of term by penning down a lovely poem for my friend who has made every celebration a gala occasion and who has breathed life into each gloomy day of my life.

“Happiness- it means the smile on your face and the smile that you bring on everyone else’s face.

Happiness- it means every wonderful raga that is rendered which makes my heart reverberate with joy.

Happiness- it means the snigger, the laughter, the grins, the chuckles, the cackles that are aroused by your jokes and hilarious antics.

Happiness- it means the innocence and honesty of your divinely childish heart.

Happiness- it means the radiance and bliss that your presence brings.

Happiness- it means the amusement that you bring by your peculiarly comical nature into the lackluster evenings.

Happiness- it means the sparkle that is brought by you into the dim spirited eyes.

Happiness- it means the undying delight of yours that bound our ties.”


There I go- the hundredth composition by me meant for the very first friend in my life who taught me to laugh when I should be crying, to smile when I should be screaming and to be happy even when I was drowned in grief. To her, life is one rollercoaster ride, and who knows when again you would get to be ecstatic? Laugh- even when there is sarcasm and smile, because life is in finding infinitely small joys in everything. This is for you my teddy- a landmark in my yarn of compositions to the happiness that you gave me.

Ekla Chalo ...

Movie: Bose - The Forgotten Hero Lyrics: Javed Akhtar Music: A R Rahman Ekla Chalo begins with a soft Bengali prelude by Nachiketa Chakraborty . It’s mesmerizing tone sets up the mood blending Sonu Nigam’s soothing vocals. Javedsaab elevates his lyricism to new heights through this call for unity. Sonu Nigam shines with his hypnotic rendition. These numbers will grow on you as you delve deeper into Javed Akhtar’s masterful poetry... Jothi tor daak sune keu naa aashe (if no one comes heeding your call) tobe ekla chalo re (walk alone) ekla chalo ekla chalo ekla chalo ekla chalo re (just walk alone) tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega (the forlorn traveller will tread his way) tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega (now whatever happens will be taken care of) ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega bojh ho mushkilon ka magar (though the hardships weigh heavy on us) na jh...

आई तुझ्या कुशीत, पून्हा यावेसे वाटत

आई तुझ्या कुशीत, पून्हा यावेसे वाटते निर्दयी या जगापासुन, दुर जावेसे वाटते ॥ कोणी न येथे कुणाचा, सारीच नाती खोटी तुझ्याशीच फक्त आता, नाते जपावेसे वाटते ॥ कोळून प्यायलो मी, सुख दुःख सारे माते तुझ्या विरहास, न प्यावेसे वाटते ॥ कित्येक रात्री, ऐश्वर्यात लोळलो मी अखेरच्या क्षणाला, तुझ्या कुशीत निजावेसे वाटते ॥ दगडातला तो देवही,आता नवसाविना पावेना निस्वार्थ हृदय माऊली, तुलाच पूजावेसे वाटते ॥ असेन जर मजला, मानव जन्म कधी आई तुझ्याच पोटी, पून्हा जन्मावेसे वाटते ॥
