The brand new year

A year
Comes to an end
Another auspicious round
Culminates into a new

Around the fiery nourisher
Riding safely
On the gracious lap
Of the Maternal blue

Among the many stars
In the vast space unconfined
A speck
in the grand cosmos

Yet carrying
a whole world Within
Of hope and fear
Of gain and loss

Gloating on a triumph
Fretting on a setback
Worrying for an expectation
to happily live ever after

Celebrating a finite moment
On a strip of time
Unending and infinite
Stretching before and after

For now
in this moment
we embark
on a journey new

Of hope
and cheer
It’s another year
And it’s Brand new

Happy 2022 🍾

Cherry tree waits

The pink blooms,
it’s the right time
It’s cold,
Yet not as much

Cold enough
to wear the coats
Warm enough
to venture out as such

sun shines bright,
Sky seems bluer
On my eyes,
Sun glasses look trendy

The flags and banners,
All Pink as they flutter
In the slight breeze,
Comfortably not windy

Sips of rice beer
red and white
On the lush green grass
Afternoon is pretty lazy

Across on the polo ground
Music plays loud
The crowds sway and hop
evenings I say, are a bit crazy

The cherry tree stands
and graciously smiles
Part of each group picture
And the lonely selfies

Pink blooms
It’s the right time
Cherry trees stand happy
it longed for this time

Cheery Blossomed

The night glittered
Many twinkling eyes witnessed
Laying their souls bare

The music filled the air
Many revellers danced
without not a single care

treads pointed to the venue
All roads
leading to one

Some joyfully walking
Some creeping in the cars
Some on the run

Flashing lights of the camera
Smiling faces
gleamed in the sun

Many colours mingled
Light pink
turned out to be fun

Cherry blossomed
Touched so many lives
One pink, One sun

Winding Roads

Winding roads
turn left and right
Hugging close
to the mountain side

Descending gradually
sometimes steep
moving fast at times
Sometimes just a creep

River keeps it company
Flowing along
Gushing water hums
Its favourite song

Destination isn’t far
Valley is plain and wide
Roads are wide too
Now straighter and wise

Through twists and turns
straight roads and bends
The roads stays there
The journey ends

Bliss

इतना सुकून है यहाँ
हर दिन की दौड़ से दूर
कितना सुकून होगा वहाँ
इन सब से परे
जहां तन्हाई में
अकेलापन नहीं
खामोशी में जहां
उदासी नहीं
बस दूर
दुनिया से अलग
ख़ुशी से भी परे
खुद के आस पास
ख़ामोश
तनहा
खुश
